Name: Cadence
Gender: Female
Collar: Indigo with silver spots
Describe how they "dance"?:
Cadence has an odd way of dancing for sure. She begins by hopping around on her back legs, and one front leg. The other front leg is usually held up in front of her as she sort of 'bounces' along. Gradually she will stand up on her hind legs and start walking forward that way until she loses balance, but the build up to this feat is hilarious to watch.
Personality:
Cadence is high energy like most Border Collies, but more willing to settle down than some. She loves nothing more than cuddle time and some one on one with her owner. She is a real sweetheart, always eager to please. But she is a little clumsy and a bit too curious, sometimes resulting in some disastrous accidents (Like knocking over a bowl of goldfish when she wagged her tail too hard and hit the table leg with her hip . . . ).
Cadence tries harder than most to be a good dog. She will do anything you ask of her.
She likes to howl though, which is at times very annoying. She has a terribly high pitched howl and will howl incessantly when excited or scared. Right now we are working on ways to get her to stop. Yelling at her or hitting her would just make it worse, but we hope distracting her with a toy might prove to work.
Cadence hates thunder, and though she was raised as an outdoor kind of dog likes being by the fireplace as much as in the field. She doesn't like rain and will refuse to go out in it, even just to use the bathroom.
Having been in the country a lot Cadence dislikes city noises like lots of traffic, yelling, honking, etc. She prefers the quiet of the country and woods.

Name: Mariposa (Meaning 'butterfly' in Spanish)
Gender: Female
Collar: Pale Pink with purple bow or flower accent
Why did they do that in the apartment?:
Mariposa wanted to dance along with her owner! She loves to be involved in whatever those around her are doing, and if that meant doing her own doggy dance that was what she would do. However, she had trouble keeping her balance and wanted to stay as close to her owner as possible in case she fell and to feel secure, but she ended up causing her owner to stumble and trip a lot, even though it wasn't intentional.
Personality: Mariposa is an excitable, high energy dog. She loves to do things with her human, weather it be walks, playing with a ball, or just eating dinner at the same time! She is very clingy to her people and to her doggy friends. She is scared of cats, but noises like cars and thunder don't seem to phase her.
She does well in any environment it seems. She doesn't care about getting dirty or wet and any none-feline animal is automatically her friend and playmate.
She is very outgoing and friendly with everyone, definitely no guard dog!
She has an annoying habit of incessant licking, but she is just trying to show her love.
