Description:
YEE HAW! My name is Landon and I’m as “cowboy” as they come, being half Border Collie, that’s probably not very surprising, is it?!. My other half is Corgi, I think, so I’m a short cowboy… but what I lack in stature I make up with enthusiasm!!! My mind and my mouth are very active (I love to talk!) but I also have a calm, strong silent type side too, that not all Border Collies have. I love to go out on the trail (preferably off leash, like the real cowboys), lasso teddy bears, clown around and curling up in front of the fire for a good cuddle.
Being mobile means so much to me because when I was little I had to use a wheelchair to walk. I was born with a neurological condition that made my back legs not work but with my time and therapy at Healing HEART Sanctuary, I can now walk and run on my own and I love, love, LOVE to use my legs (they say I look like Tigger from Winnie the Poo; run…jump…hop…fall…run again!) I still have a wheelchair for when I’m on cement or surfaces that could scratch my feet up though.
I will need some help making sure my bladder is empty but that’s pretty easy to learn as long as bending down to help me is ok for your back. I can always wear a belly band inside too to make sure I don’t have an accident, though I rarely do. I can poop on my own and can eat all sorts of wonderfully horrible things and never get range grange (Cowboy talk for loose poop!)
I have worked hard to walk and run on my own and now want a family of my own to ride off into the sunset with. Will it be you?
