Yep, you read it right! I adopted a Smooth Collie who will be 5 years old next month. He is exactly 14 days younger than Katie. My boy's name is Zack and I adopted him from Janna (Spiritwind). He is a retired show dog. I have had him with me since Saturday. So far I am finding that having a 3rd dog isn't any more difficult than having 2. Of course maybe that is because Zack is such an easy going dog. He is such a loving dog and very gentle. He can be a bit shy and timid and I think that is part of his charm. So far I haven't had too much trouble introducing him to Katie and Tori and having them accept him. Tori being her usual self doesn't really care at all. Katie, who I now call "Queen B*tch", is trying very hard to make sure Zack knows his place. They have had a few scuffles with one resulting in a bloody nose for Zack.
His nose is fine now. I have found out that all I have to do is shout out a loud HEY and they split up and go their separate ways.
I made my decision to adopt Zack on my own and I feel like it is something I needed to do. He has helped me out so much in the past week. I'm so happy to have this boy with me.
Now lets get on with the pics!
Meet Zack, everyone!
On the way home

It's going to take a while for sister Katie to get used to a new male in the house, but give her some time and space, and she will do the same for you. Had to laugh, looks like you are surrounded by female dogs in your new home (both sisters and cousins). But I am sure you will do just fine. It sure is nice to meet you Zack, and hope to hear a lot more about you and your gorgeous sisters.
