Ollie - Blue Merle Border Collie

Ollie is a 5 year old Blue Merle Border Collie, one blue eye and one brown.

He has good and naughty sides. He is special to us because when he was just 18 months old we nearly lost him through illness. The vets could not trace what was wrong.

After lots of testing they found that he has Addisons. Basically he cannot produce his own body salt, hence he has to have two tablespoons of salt a day and five steroids to keep his adrenalin going.

In the picture he is ready for his favorite pastime, playing with water and he was off to the beach on a hot sunny day.

What a pretty and well behaved dog. I think the pastel purple of the googles quite suits his blue merle colouring! I love it when there is one blue and one brown eye...it almost looks like Ollie is winking in this shot....he must know what a fun packed day he has ahead of him! Nice clear picture.

 Love the goggles

Ollie certainly looks ready for action :) Thank goodness the vet discovered what was wrong with him and through your dedication he is now living virtually a normal life.

Are those special 'doggles' Ollie is wearing?
