18?! That's almost unheard of. My collies all passed at 11, except for one who died of cancer at 7 and one who died at 2 (she was mentally challenged and had many health issues). I did have one dog who made it to 16, but she wasn't a collie.

Wow - I remember watching 'Lassie' as a little girl on tv. I would always burst into tears when Lassie was stuck in a well, etc., and my dad would always scream at me for crying!

@Ronettes I also cried while watching Lassie, and my mother would try to turn it off. I'd then cry louder to keep it on. Today, I cannot watch any show/film in which an animal is in danger, even make believe.

I had a stuffed Lassie which I probably still have in a box. I also have a picture of Lassie and Johnny Provost, signed by both!

Wow - signed by Lassie!!
To this day I cannot stand to see an animal hurt, my husband and I took care of all the strays in our area for years, taking them in to be spayed / neutered and brought them back. Feeding them and taking all babies and friendly strays in to the animal shelters to find homes, if we could not find homes for them.
