i'm still here

wow, mum has been really busy and has not been keeping you up to date. i apologize on her behalf!

i like it lthough cos we are outside digging in the garden a lot. well mum is and i am trying to help. there is this huge pile of dirt that someone brought over and it is so much fun to did dig dig and send the dirt all over the place. mum has taught me a new word. off. because i am such a smart border collie, i learned very quickly to stay off her garden! then she gets this strange machine called a lawn mower which cuts all the grass. humans are very strange. thanks goodness she does not cut the all the grass cos this is where i have pee time and poo time in private!

we took my best cat friend, lucy to this very strange building a couple of weeks ago. mum had to put her in this little crate and she was not happy. poor lucy even pooped in the crate she was so nervous. it was very smelly. we picked her up later that day and she didn't smell of poop but she smelt strange and was acting very sleepy.  mum says that she wnt to her doctor and was fixed so she won't have babies and can now go outside with me.  but she climbs trees and goes up really high. the robins keep dive bombing her. guess they don't like it!

i will try to get mum to keep you updated and promise i will not be gone for such a long time!

lucy and i checking out a bug

new friends, digging and lots more

it's been awhile but as smart as i am, i am unable to master the keyboard to tell you updates, so i have to trust my mum to do this for me. this is what it would be if i was typing. ,lvgfrknjdmkhbv bhn mn  v bfvghjnbgjnbhhbnh as you can see it makes no sense. yes, mum made me do this.

my mum has been doing that work thing a lot but that's ok because then she has more money to buy me things. she takes me to my food store and the other day we brought home a new toy. not that i need it really but i won't say no! this one is called pinky because it is pink and it squeaks. i am very good at bringing the right toy to my mum when she asks, pretty smart just like a border collie should be.

the other day when mum was at work, a friend of my mum's came to let me out. well i would not move from my crate because i did not like him. i don't know why but i just wouldn't move. i think i was a little scared and i nipped him. i am sorry, really i am. but then another friend came to let me go outside for pee time and all was good. i'm glad my mum has lots of friends! and then this really nice lady came the next day with sam her labrador. we went for a really big walk. i showed them where to go, it was so much fun and apparently she will be coming over lots.

i have been for lots of car rides visiting all the people i know trying to be a good boy. but i had a little poop accident in my friend's house. you see they don't have the bell on the door to ring. it's ok though they will have me back, i think! speaking of the bell, i have mastered that one. and i think mum is wishing she never taught me because i go to the door and ring the bell, she lets me out and then of course i want to come right back in again. then i ring it again. it's my little game, wonder how long mum will leave the bell on the door?

and mum has started to dig in the dirt. i really like this but don't understand why she doesn't like it when i start to dig. again, humans are strange but i am getting better at understandiing them. one walk i do like is the one first thing in the morning, it's the best!

early morning run

bells, poop and cars

the bell thing is working but i still forget to ring it sometimes. my mum makes me ring it even though we are at the door all ready to go outside. i don't enderstand why becasue she knows we are going outside. so i humour her and ring the bell. wonder if i will ever understand humans?

today my mum is busy and she left the gate open. well i went to find the cats because they always hide out in the bedroom or on top of my crate. all was good, i was very quiet and i found the cats and wouldn't let them leave the room. and then i pooped and peed in the bedroom. mum was really mad at me i think and i hung my head in shame. i was being so good too about going outside for pee time and poop time. i don't know what came over me. i promise not to do it again, well i will try not to do it again.

mum has this little stool that is on wheels. it's so much fun to pull across the room but it keeps loosing one of it's wheels. what's really fun is running up and jumping on it and then glide across the room. and then there are the car rides. love those because i never know where we might be going. sometimes just the store but sometimes we visit friends. doesn't matter, i like them. and if anyone comes up to the car i am a big brave border collie and protect my mum. she tells me it's ok but i keep my eye on the person who is there and what they are doing, cos my mum is my best friend and i have to be there for her. that's what border collies do.

where we going?

chuck update

remember chuck? i do. he's my brother that stayed with his mum and dad and his human mum and dad. 

well my first human mum sent my human mum an update on chuck. he's getting really big just like me and i bet he's getting into all sorts of mischief just like me. we are both doing the border collie thing of learning really quickly and doing our best to make everyone happy.  chuck lives on a small farm and is out with his mum and dad a lot getting dirty just like we all like to do. i'm kind of jealous, well i know my mum is! but that's ok because i really love my mum. i know i make her laugh and make her really happy. i know she would like to be with me all the time but she has to do that work thing so that is out of the question! one thing that chuck has mastered that i have not is this puppy training. help me out here chuck, how did you pass the test? i heard my first mum's voice the other night and couldn't understand how her voice was on top of the table. it was very confusing, mum says it was a video of me before i moved to my forever home. can't wait to see her again in the summer though, that is going to be so much fun. and chuck you have big feet just like me!

chuck my borther

ears and a new friend

obviously i am growing very very fast. first my new teeth which hurt me a lot and now my ears. one ear is now standing up straight most of the time, so i am definitely not a barbie collie! my mum and her friends think it's really cute. can someone explain to me what cute is?  all that matters is that i like my ears, so does my mum, we don't care what those show dog people think.

my one big ear!

and the other day, i met a friend, her name is daisy. she kind of ignored me but i really liked her. we went on this really long walk and she showed me what to sniff and where to pee and to make sure our human mums were always close by. mum says she will come up again very soon and spend some time with me. wonder what kind of things she will show me then. I can show her these little things that go away really fast in the sky but i think she already knows that, well that's what mum says and apparently they are called birds. 

daisy and sally, new friends

and i finally figured out the bells on the door. dead simple really. i push them with my nose and they make this funny sound and mum comes over to the door, tells me i am a good boy and lets me out. i must remember to do that always when i need pee time or poop time. 

teething

yesterday i was drooling, did not want to eat very much. all i wanted to do was sleep which is not like a growing border collie puppy.  my mum says i am teething.  i think that means that i am growing bigger teeth. i did not like it when she touched one side of my mouth but loved her cuddles. yes i was a mummy's boy yesterday. it felt really good when she gave me some frozen water and a nice cold carrot to chew on. hope this does not last long and my big new teeth come soon.

after a really good night's sleep, drooling on the pillow cuddled with mum on the big bed, i feel much better today. mum has all this wood piled in a corner and one piece came tumbling down to attack me and i am barking furiously at it but it won't go away. things are back to normal!

yummy carrots

i am not a barbie collie

you may wonder what a barbie collie is. i did too.

a barbie collie is a border collie who is a show dog. not a border collie that works, not a border collie that is the best companion ever, not a border collie that competes in herding trials but a show dog. the kind of dog that has to look like what some humans think a border collie should look like. a border collie that is perfectly groomed, stands perfectly, has perfect markings and just stands there looking pretty and then prances around an arena with their owner. all looks and no brains.  i am not a barbie collie. i am a border collie from working stock. i do not have any sheep to herd but i am my mum's best ever companion. and i know she would never ever make me be a barbie collie.

as you can see, i have one ear up and one ear down. that certainly would not be ok for a show dog.  i wonder if i will have matching ears when i grow up.  but who cares? not me or my mum.

i am not a barbie collie

whew today was exhausting!

i woke up mum early even though she did have to do that work thing and we stayed up. no going back to bed for a nap. in fact i did not get a nap all day. well apart from when i fell asleep in mum's arms and a tiny one when she got me some more food.

we did our normal walk down the laneway and then it was nonstop. in the car we go and first we went to see my friends who have this big space with lots of cars but machines that make noises that scare me a little. but mum brought my favourite toy, the squeaky one. that made me feel better and was doing the border collie stance and it made me feel a lot safer. i started to fall asleep but we were off again. this time to visit my friend who came with my mum to bring me to my now forever home and who comes to see me when mum can't get home. by this time i was really tired and that's when i fell asleep in mum's lap. she left me there while she went for more food. it was great, i had a nice little nap. there are more cats in this house and most of them apparently came to check out who i was but i had no idea, it was nap time!

finally, we pull up in front of our house and by this time, i was hungry and really tired but i had to tell my cats my story but they did not want to know.  oh, and i really like pushing this chair around.  it is on wheels and i push it all round my house. sometimes nosey is on it and stays for the ride. we are becoming good friends, she even lets me sit on her.

the day is not over and mum says i am wound up like a spinning top. not sure what that is. here's my selfie. humans are strange! i maye a smart border collie but cannot yet take my own pictures, so mum took this one when i was trying to to play.

poop time

i am told that being a border collie, i am one of the smartest, if not the smartest dogs on this planet, that's a lot to live up to. and there are lots of rules i have to learn. it will take a little more time, but i will, i promise mum.

i have it figured out that after i play, eat and sleep, i have to have poop time. i guess the same would happen with humans and cats. this is where humans and cats confuse me. mum praises me everytime when we are outside and i do the poop thing but is not so happy when i do it inside. so why do they not have to go outside and do poop time? it's only me that has to go outside. i know where the cats go poop, they have their special box that mum makes sure i do not sniff. and mum has this seat with water in it which i cannot get at, mum says its called a toilet which is a strange word. i am confused but i am sure i will conquer this strange concept. it's called puppy training mum says.

meanwhile the most fun i am having right now is my basketball and ofcourse giving mum lots of kisses

please again!

sally

mum had to do that work thing again, so into the crate i went but a short time after a human friend came to let me out so i could do pee time and then we played and i thanked him by giving him lots of kisses. but i did have to go back into by crate until mum came home and then it would be play time again! 

i hear mum's car and start to get excited because i know she will be coming through that door any moment which she does.  i am now out of my crate giving her hugs and kisses and then over to the door for pee time. when the door opened and i stepped outside. there was another dog. a big white and black one. i know i am a big brave border collie but i was kind of scared and pee'd on the step.  mum says her name is sally and she sometimes comes to stay with us when her human mum has to go away. we immediately went for a walk down the laneway and i did not go far from mum's side. well that lasted about 5 minutes and now i follow sally everywhere, hope she doesn't mind. we even slept together on mum's big bed, how cool is that?

today will be lots of fun with my new friend sally, maybe she will teach me a few things while she is here. well that's what mum says! mum also said that there are many more friends that i will meet, i can't wait!  

i forgot to tell you i now weigh 20 pounds. i am growing really fast and yes i poop a lot!

my new friend sally

the vet

yesterday was different. this really nice lady came to visit us and apparently she is my doctor and she is called a vet. what's really nice is she kept giving me little treats.  what's not so nice is she poked me with something really sharp.  mum told me i have to have these shots every once and awhile so i won't get sick. i'm not really sure what that means but it doesn't sound too good, so i will let them poke me, just a little though!  she gave mum all this stuff to read about bringing up a puppy but i know my mum has done this before, so i am not worried, i know she is doing things the right way, least that's what i think!

my puppy training is continuing.  i had a big poop in the house this morning, sorry mum but i'm blaming it on those shots, they did funny things to my tummy and i just couldn't hold it.  i tried to wake you but you wouldn't listen. i will though try to remember to ring the bell instead of just staring at the door.  see mum bought these bells that she put on the door for me to ring when i need to pee or poop but i keep forgetting. so much to learn but i am because i am a border collie and we learn things really quickly but we do have a stubborn side to us as well.

i have discovered these two very big balls outside. mum calls them basket balls but to me they are just great big toys to play with.  i have decided that they must always be togther but it can be a little difficult, i'm working on that one.

my big toys, the basketballs

fetch

mum had to do that work thing all weekend.  as usual i woke her up at 5am because i really had to pee and usually we go back to bed for a little nap but no, she made me stay up.  i don't really understand as it was still dark outside. i watched mum intently doing her thing but all i really wanted was to go back to sleep.  finally it ws no longer dark and we went for a our usual walk down the lane for poop time.  talking of poop time, all this white stuff that mum calls snow is starting to disappear and i am wondering where i am suppose to do my poop thing when it all goes.  guess i will figure it out, i am a border collie! puppy training is hard, but i am getting better.

when mum goes to work, she has to put me in my crate.  i know she does not like to but i will get up to far too much mischief if she does not.  one nice thing though is after a little nap, the door opens and one of my new friends comes to let me out for a pee and we play for a bit, then back in my crate til mum gets home.  by then all i want to do is play of course.  poor mum is tired but i pay no attention to that at all.  i am so happy to see her i try to lick her face over and over.  i think she likes it.

fetch is our new game.  we take the squeaky toy outside and mum throws it as far as she can.  i chase it, catch it and bring it right back to her so she can do it all over again.  she is so proud of me and says that i am such a good boy.  it's no big deal mum, just doing what border collies do.

i have also learnt the words "no bad boy".  i am very quiet when mum says that.  i will try my best so she will not have to say it often. some things scare me a little like the other night we were out for pee time and i heard coyotes, at least that is what mum said.  i forgot about pee time and ran back to the door to come inside where it is safe. one day i know i will bark back at them and then they will be scared but not quite yet!  and a paper bag but i conquered that one.

my shadow the wolf, my ancestor

fun filled week

lots has gone on this week, mum has been home all week, she did not have to do that work thing which i really like. so mum and i have been really busy. of course puppy training seems to be most important thing right now.  honest mum, you are learning just as i am.  mum keeps telling me to be more vocal when i stand at the door, not too sure what she means by that. we'll figure it out i am sure.  yesterday i started to run down the laneway by myself, mum did not like that very much.  but i was trying to tell mum how brave a border collie i am becoming, wonder why she didn't like it?

the squeaky toy mum let me bring home is so much fun. sure is loud! and we have this new game now called fetch.  mum holds squeak and i stare at it with all my might.  she then throws it to the corner and i bring it back close to her and just stare at it until she throws it again.  when she doesn't throw it to me i make it squeak louder and push it to mum.  pretty sure this is what border collies do because mum says i am a very good boy.

me, toffee and mum

yesterday i met a new friend. her name is toffee and she is really big and i was a little scared and hid beside mum or under toffee's car. mum says i will be seeing lots of toffee but can we wait till i am a little bigger please? i am sure there will be no stopping us soon though.

lucy and i

both our cats are acting very strange.  mum says they are now both "on heat".  but they let me hold them and give them love nips. honest, i won't hurt them mum.  wonder if they will continue to let me do this?  at night time, they sneak up on the bed to sleep with mum and i.  thank goodness mum has a really big bed!

puppy training and kittens

i have to admit i am getting pretty good at this pee and poop thing.  about every 5 hours i do have to pee so my mum says that my little bladder is getting stronger. of course when we go for walk i pee as much as i can, i'm pretty sure that's what border collies do. we have to mark our territory to let everyone know that we are around and this is my home.  but poor mum, i wake her up every morning at 5am and it is still dark outside but i know i must not pee on the bed! we do go back to bed for another little nap.  well mum tries but i keep biting her head because i think it's play time.  when we do get up, i have learned that if i sit by the door and look at her, she gets the hint that it is poop time.  mummy training is going well i would say.  mum did get mad at me though the other day.  she let me outside to pee, but i did not.  when i came inside i went straight to the bedroom and peed on the floor and looked at her with a little smirk on my face. she called me a bad puppy and pointed her finger at me, this sign i am understanding is a no no! i was naughty. best not do that again. 

i am making friends with our 2 kittens. well perhaps they are adjusting to me.  yes i chase them but i think they understand that i am playing.  nosey bats me on the head with her paws but does not hurt me.  lucy still hisses at me if i get too much. that will change i am sure. they jump up very high, don't think i will be able to do that or at least don't think i should.

yesterday we went to this really big store that has shelves full of food for me. i really liked this place. there were all sorts of toys and treats too.  i wanted them all. mum did let me bring one home and it squeaks when i play with it and i talk back! wonder how long the squeak will last?  mum throws it into the corner, i chase it and am starting to bring it close to her and she throws it again.  i'm going to like this game.

playtime in the snow

chuck and yummy marrow bones

my mum got a message from my first human mum and she gave us an update on my brother, chuck.  he seems just like me. playing and biting, trying to learn the pee and poop thing, and basically being a very cute and mischievious border collie puppy.  i can't wait to see him this summer, we will have so much to tell each other. do you think he will remember me? and i will get to see my real mum and dad too. hope they will like how big and brave i will be by then. maybe they can teach me a few things, or be aloof as border collies can be!  here's a picture of my brother chuck, look at that face!  bet we could get into all sorts of mischief!

chuck, my brother

yesterday we went for a short car ride and mum left me in the car while she went into this big building.  i watched intently at the door waiting for her to come back to the car.  when she did she was carrying these bags of food! when we got home, she opened a package and gave me what is called a marrow bone. they are so so good.  when i had finished chewing my little heart out i tried to hide it in the couch but mum was having none of that. better find another spot and make sure the kittens don't find it.

oh and mum did let me sleep on the big bed last night but i woke her up at 5am because i really had to pee.  i wanted to go back to bed but mum was awake now so i couldn't! we waited till daylight and off we went down the lane for poop time.  it had snowed again last night. i love running through fresh snow nose first, chuck you should try it!

yummy marrow bone

getting dizzy

i am getting very good at not pooping in the house. mum takes me outside very shortly after we wake up and we head down the laneway. there are lots of places to poop, so every morning i find a new spot.  mum praises me when i do.  i love my mum.

but sometimes accidents do happen, i am still a border collie puppy in training.  last night, well first thing this morning before the sun came up, i had to pee really really bad and i was trying to wake mum up but it wasn't working.  sorry mum, i couldn't hold it any longer. i hope that she still lets me sleep on the big bed tonight.

those kittens are constantly teasing me by jumping up on things so i cannot reach them.  they don't seem to like it too much when i try to herd them into a corner.  but this though is what i do, i herd. here's a little video that mum took of me and nosey, me trying to make sure she does not jump down.

getting dizzy

little escape artist

bet you have been wondering where i have been for a couple of days. i have been busy. so much is going on!

my mum is trying to teach me to pee and poop outside. i understand. think i am close to teaching her when i have to go outside to do the pee and poop thing but maybe i should be a little more vocal. i'll work on that one.

outside is HUGE. there is so much to do, so much to smell, i don't know where to start. and now i see things up in the sky, mum calls them birds, and of course i try to chase them to no avail. i am also small enough to get through the fence into the great big open space.  my mum doesn't like that and keeps calling me to "come here".  i will once i have caught that bird.

at night time when it's pee and poop time, it's really dark and mum does not want me to wander far, so she puts this collar on me with a leash that i constantly try to chew so i won't go very far. of course then i forget to pee.  i don't like the collar so i promise i won't go far.

sometimes mum has to leave, it's this thing called work. she doesn't like putting me a crate although i don't mind it too much.  last night she put me in the bathroom with my crate and a gate at the door.  this way i have my sleeping spot and a room to play in. well i managed to get over the gate and greeted mum at the door.  she was impressed that i did not chew anything nor leave any pee and poop. but was worried that i might have hurt myself. wonder what will she will do next time she leaves? she has called me the little escape artist!

i'll leave you with this picture, it's the cat's toy and i love it!  lots going to happen today, i can feel it in my bones!

i must i must destroy!

cuteness

right now i seem to be all about cuteness. well take a look at the picture below and you tell me. my mum keeps telling me that i am the cutest border collie. but i bet all mums and dads out there that have border collie puppies say the same thing. we are just full of cuteness.

another car ride today. i was really tired after a morning of exploring but was definitely up for a car ride. mum took me to a couple of places. in and out of the car to recieve kisses and hugs from everyone. i really like car rides. i wanted to get down from her arms but mum was concerned that i might pee on their carpet and then i may not be invited back, don't want that to happen.

my pee time and poop time, well it's hard to hold sometimes but i am getting better and my mum praises me all the time when i do it in the snow. i am doing my best to understand humans, they are quite strange at times.

my crate, my little home when mum is not here. thank goodness she does not leave for too long and she leaves music on for me too. wonder if i could give her requests?

and the best thing that happened today was that i discovered puddles!!

cuteness 

mummy's boy

yes, i admit it, right now i am a mummy's boy. i just love all those cuddles and kisses i get.  when we go for walks, i make sure i am right there beside her. my mum keeps telling me what a good boy i am. and when srange people come to visit, i am right by her side where i suppose to be.

i learnt two things today. one was lots of fun the other was not.

first, i don't mind being in my crate but i sure don't like it when my mum leaves. she left me for what seemed hours and hours but infact was only two apparently but i was howling when she got back and really happy to see her. later she left me again but the music was still on and no howling this time but i was tired this afternoon cos i didn't have my nap!  and i had to help shovel all this white stuff called snow. i tried to help by barking at the shovel, is this the right thing to do?

and second, when it's pee time now, i will go down the step by myself and i have discovered that i can play hide and seek with mum by running around the garage.  all the time i hear her calling my name and i know i should come but there is so much to explore i get side tracked. honest, mum i know where the front door is, i won't wander far, promise.

oh and lucy our cat is meowing like crazy, my mum says she's in heat, doesn't sound very nice. she has even come up to me when she thinks i am asleep and puts her nose to mine.  i let her cos i know we are going to be really good friends very soon.

so much has gone on today, i really am tired. wonder what tomorrow will bring.

rough day in the hood

pee time

my mum keeps scooping me up and taking me outside. i don't like the step down into the unknown, of course no problem to go back inside where it's nice and warm. once outside we either go for a walk down the road in front of my new home or mum stands there shivering saying pee-time seven, pee pee time. sometimes really hard not to pee inside, honest i don't mean to. i'll work on that one, promise.

the last two nights, when its dark and there are no lights on, i slept on this big bed with my mum beside me. how nice is that? it's a long way down to the floor so i haven't tried to jump down in the dark, later for that one.

no car ride today. i quite like those. we visited lots of people yesterday. i recognized one person, the nice lady who came with my mum to take me to my new home. but i didn't know the others. they were really nice too and i think i will be going there often. this adventure is going to be so much fun.

this is what it was like today, trying to find a spot to pee, not an easy thing to do.

not too impressed

whew what a day

so much has happened in the last 24hours, not sure where to begin. but when that really nice lady, my new mum showed up again, i knew big changes were going to happen. she scooped me up in her arms and i gave her lots of kisses. we quickly left the house because my first human mum was feeling very poorly and she couldn't even give me a kiss goodbye but i know we will see her again this summer, they promised me that.

and then i was on my mum's lap in what is called a car.  i wanted to explore but i couldn't so i talked all the way. wasn't really sure what was going on! after what seemed a very long time, we stopped. then these amazing smells came into the car but again i couldn't. nevermind because i really wasn't hungry, too much going on!  then we stopped again and i got into another car with just my mum.  i quickly made it to the back seat and was falling asleep and then we stopped again.  good job too because i really had to pee!

then she scooped me up and took me inside a new house, my new home. all these new smells and 2 cats!  i thought one was one of my siblings, same size, same colour and i side checked her.  found out rather quickly that she was not.  after i settled in and smelt just about everything, i had dinner and promptly fell asleep.

whew, what a day!  lots more to come, life is good! see you tomorrow.

totallly exhausted

little seven movie

look how much i'm growing! i am quite interested in the smells coming down from this big white door.  i think it's called a stove. but i do know my name is seven. everything is so exciting.

my human mum sent my new mum this little video of me. do you like it?

moving day is soon and i will have so much to tell you.

if the above doest load try this link little seven movie

vet check

the other day this person called a vet checked me out. i was poked in all sorts of places, not really sure what they were looking for.  they did tell my human mum that i was good to go and a very healthy border collie puppy.  i weigh 8.6 pounds, must be all that good food i eat.
march 10th is not very far now even though i have not mastered the counting of days but i am sure that will come because we as border collies are of the utmost intelligence, so i am told.  march 10 is the day of my big move to my new home, it's going to be so much fun.
i will miss my brothers and sisters but i am sure they will be going to lovely new homes too.
most of all though i will miss spot, he's going to be staying with mum and dad. we have become best friends, playing and getting into mischief all the time.
my human mum keeps repeating the word "seven" to me cos that is what my new mum has called me. i like it!
you won't hear too much from me until i move to my new home and then the tale/tail of seven will grow and grow just like me. so you won't forget me, here's another picture.

looking for mischief

growing fast

i continue to grow, continue to find new things to do, everything is so exciting but nothing beats that food bowl right now. all eight of us eat till we fall asleep so we can start all over again.
my human mum sent pictures of me to my new mum, so she can see how much i have grown and what a handsome border collie i am becoming. don't you just love my blue eye and those freckles on my nose.
she says i love to play and am quite the little rascal! time is passing very quickly towards my move and there is a whole new world waiting for me to explore. my new mum is going to have so much fun with me, i can hardly wait.

please let me down

march 10

my human mum has told me that my moving date away from from real mum is march 10. i'm not sure what march 10 means but i do know though that i am really looking forward to sharing my life with my new mum, that really nice lady who i told all my stories and gave lots of kisses.

she is really excited to have another border collie and i will try my best to be a good dog, a good border collie but i will make mistakes, so please be patient with me.

i will be sharing my new house with 2 cats, look at them below.  i better behave myself.  i am told that they have very sharp claws and will try to grab me. i must learn not to chase them but they too are very young so we will grow up together and probably get into trouble together.  i will make sure they do not wander far and will bring them back to our house cos that's what border collies do apparently.

each day i am getting bigger and stronger just like my brothers and sisters.  we play a lot, then collapse and sleep so we can do it all over again.

hope my human mum will send a new picture of me so i can show you how much i have grown and how handsome i am!

lucy, aka trouble!

my dog: the paradox

this is very funny and i think i have a lot to look forward to, so i thought i would share it with you courtesy the oatmeal

my dog: the paradox

those eyes

delphi's eyes

see those beautiful eyes just above, aren't they amazing and I bet you look at the blue eye first!
my human mum and the nice lady who will be my new human mum very soon think that I too will have one blue and one brown eye, that is very cool.  it does not happen very often, I am one very lucky border collie!
they call it a wall eye and I can see perfectly, it will not stop me from seeing all the new and exciting things I am finding each day, so there is no need to worry.
the beautiful lady above was my new mum's princess so I am told, I am sorry that I will not meet her but maybe a little of her came to me and I like that very much.

facebook fame

wow! all these people think I am adorable.
a picture of me has been posted on Facebook and I now have almost 200 likes and lots of people sharing my picture! seriously, I do not know how this works but this is a good thing, right?
here I am
me on facebook and look at all those other border collies! there are lots of us around!
my mum still comes to feed us but she leaves and has fun times playing with dad, who is still afraid of us
I have been told that the nice lady who I met the other day really likes me and will be back in 4 weeks, that seems like a long time
but in the meantime we are all eating, growing, playing and discovering new and exciting things to do every day

I love cuddles

the very beginning

i was born on january 11, 2014
apparently i am a border collie and have no idea what that means
i have 3 brothers and 4 sisters and have no idea who came first
my world for the first few days was my mother's milk, really i could not think beyond that, i couldn't even see
but i was happy cos i was warm and my belly was full
i seemed to grow bigger every day and now big bowls of food are delivered to us and we all stumble towards this new food, it tastes strange but fills me up
yesterday i found myself in the arms of someone new, she seemed to really like me and i was trying to tell her my story so far and gave her kisses but not sure if she understood, i really hope she comes back to see me again
here's a picture of us all and one of your's truly, seven

all of us

me at 4weeks

i want to tell you my story, so please come back and visit for updates
