She is less than 3 months away from her 15th birthday. Her days are spent sleeping soundly, and laying in the pasture keeping an eye on Beamer. But every once in a while, she gets the urge to play ball with the other 2 hooligans.
Her hind end doesn't work too well anymore, so I have to help her up and down stairs, and help her to stand up if she is on a slick surface. Sometimes she just gives up and waits for me to come and help her up, like at the end if the video above. She is also about 90% deaf; her hearing started to go when she was 12.
She is a happy dog, and I love her to bits.

It's hard to beat a Border Collie for fun and loyalty!
She is such a pretty girl!! It is hard to see them grow old. She is three years older than Chance. She tried hard to play ball! :) I can see why you call the other two Hooligans:)
Awww, Reba! Sweet older dogs sure want to, but their bodies just don't let them. We have one right now too, Sam (half lab-half aussie) who will be 14 in August. He wears a harness now so we can help him when he gets stuck on our wood floors, otherwise he manages himself and us just fine. Love that Reba keeps an eye on Beamer for you :))
Good ole Reba will always be my favorite :-).
She's beautiful and is so lucky to have you. What a wonderful way for her to spend her senior years! xo
Hugs to you and Reba! the love of a good old dog is a treasure to those who have known it
