Be kind to the collie Fibs and don't go for it. Collies are too intelligent and too active a breed to live in towns. Honestly they can have the canine equivalent of a nervous breakdown if they lead purposeless lives. They need sheep or kids or something the herd, chase, and worry about, otherwise their purpose in life is gone, and they decline.
I'm glad you all had a good time in Cork, and I wish I could have been there, always wanted to go to Cork, and Cobh, and the like.
Next year I shall be with youse all again, once you make up your mind where you want to hold it.
