My new brother

Well it's offical. I have a new brother! Dad went all the way down to Denver to pick him up out of a kill shelter. He wasn't going to last very much longer. He had kennel cough when we got him but he's over that now. He's a year old border collie like me! He's really skinny and a little shy but he's coming around. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet but I guess I'll put up with him. Who knows, maybe we will get along later on. I'll see how it goes. Anyway we will be adding him soon to the site as our family so look for him. His name in Teebo :)

I am doing good. Got over my brush fear so I'm cleaner and have a lot less mats. I have been playing a lot more and have lost two pounds! I'm really looking good if I do say so myself. That's all for now.

Later,

Life is good

Life can't get much better than this! We moved to a new house about two months ago. It's great!! Lots more room to run, and plenty of room for playing ball down stairs when it's cold outside. We started agility last month. It's a lot of fun. I'm really good at it too. We have been to two member training days and I have learned so much. I even went on the teater!! AJ bought me some weaves poles and a jump to play on at home so I can get better at them. I keep asking for a teater and more jumps (they are my favorite!) but he said we have enough for now. I'm ging to work on him and see if I can get him to buy them for me :) Some how I think he will. We are going to go play on my new agility stuff. So that's all for now.

A changed world

It has been a while since I have updated everyone on how I'm doing. Things are going GREAT!!!!!! I'm so happy here in my forever home. I finally know it's safe. I haven't had any back problems for a few months, and hopefully I won't anytime soon. I'm learning new tricks and learning how to trust other dogs. Sage (my new sister) is warming up to me. I can actually come in and watch tv with everyone now. It's great fun, except when tv gets to loud. I'm going to start flyball and herding lessons sometime soon. At least that's what I have been promised. I never knew how much fun life could be until now. Life is good for this border collie.

My life so far

Well I have already been here at home for two months now. I can't believe it has been that long! I have done so much it's hard to list it all. I have been addicted to my frisbee the last few weeks now, but I just got a kong air toy and it's great. I love all my toys, soft and hard. I got to walk a bunch in town a few days ago, it was a blast. I'm going to my first stock clinic in March, I can't wait for it. I try to herd the rabbits around the house but I'm told not to.

New life

Well it has been almost a year since I got my forever home. I can't believe it has been so long. I have learned so much since I got my new home. I now know how (and love) to chase the tennis ball, frisbee, and anything else I can get AJ to throw for me. I'm more at ease and feeling right at home. I love my blanket and my crate at night. I love to ride in the pickup, it's now my favorite thing to do except chase the ball! I know I have so many fun things to learn, and I can't wait to learn them! Well that's all for now. Everyone enjoy the New Year and all the snow! Have fun.
