Nase

Finally!  Nase is brave enough to hold still for the camera!  He came to me from Denkai Rescue in Eaton, CO four years ago.  He was born into a hoarding situation and spent the first six months of his life in a cage with his siblings.  When the animals went to the rescue he was the last of his siblings to be adopted, probably partly because he was so shy.  We did dog school at the Canine Learning Center in Fort Collins a couple summers ago, for the sole purpose of helping Nase find his courage.  Finding his courage has been a project for years.  He prefers to hide under the bed when frightened.  However, now that he is five years old he has finally summoned enough bravery to have his photo taken, WITH the flash!

In this one you can truly appreciate his excellent beard

 I also must include a few photos of Miles looking like the gorgeous border collie he is.
