Bruce and his family had recently put down their wonderful dog Bandid. their border collie was too old and in extreme pain.
Grant, their oldes son is almost finished building his home and he and his younger brother decided he should get a dog, which will be more or less at their parents house during the day while the boys are at work and once Grant and his fiance' move into their first home, I still think mom will be looking after Timber (that is the name of the part border collie and golden retriever).
My son said jokingly. grandkids come visiting and mom and their dad take them home again after the visit and it'll be the same with this cute little puppy. so all are happy!
