I better introduce my girl......

Seems she has been here 5 weeks lol.

About 5 weeks ago i inquired about a Border Collie pup that was being given away, i could not help myself and just out of curiosity went to meet her. Well long story short the following night i went and picked her up and bought her home. Her name was Dora but she now goes by Dawes/ Dawesey. She is about 6 months old so i have missed her little baby stage :(.

It has taken her a bit to fully settle in but now it is like she has been here forever. I adore her, she is cute, crazy, nuts, but gorgeous. she is certainly not what i would have picked for another BC, for one she is a girl and i swore i'd only have boys from now on lol. And i prefer mainly blacks and certainly no blue eyes. It was meant to be and now i think she is the cutest.

So introducing young Dawesey......

Looks like you need a new siggy. :D

Just a couple more photos of her and the others from this evening :).

Rhi, she is so cute! I'm happy for the both of you. Thank you for sharing Dawes with us!

She has been here 8 weeks today, my goodness where does the time go?

What a sweetie. Looks like they are all getting along great! :)

Seems I missed this thread, so glad it came back up!

Hi Dawes! Welcome to a PT home!

I think she is loving having all those doggie sibs, lol. She smiles lots for photos!

she's adorable! lol exactly the type of BC I would have picked out :p

Yeah they are all getting along realy well. Elvie has resorted back to playing like a puppy again which is great seems he used to spend all day in his bed :eek:.

Shayna i thought you'd like her lol. How are your girls doing?

On good Friday we went to a herding day, i was not going to give the pup a go but am so glad i did :).


Natural born sheep dawg. She had never seen sheep before and is about 7 months old :eek:.

Dawesy is sooo gorgeous! :love: Omg! I love smoothies... and her eyes are just stunning. It looks like she fits in perfectly with your wild crew!!!

I thought i'd better give an update on the girl seems she has had a name change and is growing up lol.

Miss Luna 8.5 months old :love:.

Hmm, why the name change? Just curious! She's getting so big!

Thanks for the pictures! She's getting so big and is precious!

Karen she was not responding at all to her old name, within a cuple of days of calling her Luna we had a pretty reliable recall, eye contact and a dog that would interact :). That and i began to hate the name Dawes lol.

I think she is pretty much done growing now, might fill out a bit more though.

I have not given an update on loopy Luna in a while. She is about 15 months old now and one of the best dogs. Typical working type lazy at home when there is nothing happening but if I ask her to do something she is up and ready to go :).

Unfortunately she was attacked by a stray dog nearly 2 weeks ago so that was a bit of a shock to her and horrified me. She is ok physically though, not so great mentally when she hears or see's strange dogs :(. So we are just going back to basics and will have to re socialise her and get her out and about as much as possible.

I would add some recent photos but can't from the iPad :(.

Oh my sorry to read she was attacked. Paws crossed she will come around quickly with some socializing. That must have been scary for all!!

Psst! You still have not updated your siggy!!;)

Goodness, I am glad she is okay physically, and now you can help her recover emotionally!

Sorry to hear Luna was attacked! I hope all goes well with resocializing her.

I am way behind! Luna is a doll and I'm glad she'll be alright.

I have no intention of updating it ;).

Scary, it was terrifying thinking my dog was going to be killed :(. Just lucky she is a young very fast and agile dog and was able to get away whilst we caught the other dog.

And what do we wake up to today. A little dog was mauled to death by 2 dogs at one of our regular 'safe' walking areas. There is now no where safe to walk them.

Hopefully she will come around and be ok. I will be glad when this year is over :(.

Poor pup! She sure is precious and I'm late, but congrats! I'm sure with your help and being so young it's something you two can get over.
