Oh Gai, so happy for Paige!!! Brandon must be very loving for Paige to take to him so fast, and trust him. Sounds like you made a very good choice! :-)
Our two collie muttleys are both from a rescue. Mollie, who we've had for almost three years now, is still really skitterish around any guys, even my sons still. Squeakers still has food issues, we have to have separate dishes as she quards/hoards her food. Whatever they've went through in their previous life, they've yet to get fully over it. I'll never believe they don't have the same feelings as we do!
K3n - love the picture of Dougal, looking over his shoulder at the chickens!! lol!!!!!!!! :D
