INTRODUCING MY BOY, ZACK! (tons and tons of pics)

[slleipnir]

I already told you this, but gorgeous!! What a handsome pup he looks great with your girls Thanks for posting all the wonderful pics!

[Rachel]

Hmm, I think that sums up the back story of the whole thing...lol. Sorry to be so windy about it. That is me! Always writing novels...lol. I really feel like getting Zack was meant to be and he has brought me happiness and a sense of peace. I hope that makes sense.

Windy? No way. Those were just the details I was looking for. Congratulations to both you and Zack.

I just love seeing all the pictures of Zack and Tori and Katie.. He looks so happy!..

Thanks Robin!!!

Hi Robin!

As I said thru IM, Welcome to the Collie Club! I'm loving all the pictures. He is so adorable. Is that a kissable nose or what?


Ah, I see another 70Lb lap dog.

Oz says this is the best seat in the house. I left him at the vet one day for some tests and apparently they let him hang out in the back, loose, with them all day. The vet tech mentioned that while she was working at her desk, he was sprawled across her lap.

On the nose incident with Katie, Oz says he's quite sure she didn't mean it. That big ole Collie schnoze just can't help but getting in the way. At least that's what Idgie the Jack Russell told him the couple of times she nailed him there.

Looks like Zack does really well with the snow. I always wondered if those lil' nekkid barbie legs and feet would do okay.

You're gonna have to keep sharing lots of pictures and stories. I'm interested to know how similar he is to Oz and Gull. See if the things I equate to being a Collie thang, really are.

Les...

Oh.. rough or smooth they love the snow! Up until 2yrs ago, I lived in Ohio, so Zack has been in the snow before, and loves it! Actually my dogs love to roll around and play in the snow... kinda miss not having snow to often down here in north carolina.... the dogs sure loved it! Some day I'll live where its colder and gets more snow.. not sure if it'll be back in Ohio or not.. but it'll be some place with snow!

Here is one of my favorite pics of my rough blue girl in the snow one winter in Ohio:


This is Misty (Angie daughter from her first litter) in the snow going crazy!


Here is Ben and Pennie. Ben lives with my mom in Ohio... this was taken when I still lived up there. Pennie lives in PA. Boy do I MISS the snow!!.. one day... one day..


Ben running






Sorry Robin, now I'm kinda taking over your thread with pictures.. but they are all Zack family atleast LOL

Here are pictures my mom just sent a week or ago of Ben (smooth) and Pete, her rough tri male she got from me when I was up in Ohio after Christmas. Feb 2007 my first Collie, Laddie had to be put down... he was an 85lb rough tri male. When I moved to NC I left him with my mom because he was just to old to move. He lived 1 more year to the date that I moved down here and had to be put down, his tired old body just wore out. He was 12 1/2 yrs old. So since Ben was all alone for almost a year and seemed like he needed a friend I took Pete to Ohio with me... Pete is a rough tri male (Zack son BTW.. Lucy's brother) who needed a loving pet home.... and so I took him to see how he would work for my mom.. and it has turned out beautifuly.. here are pics of Ben and Pete together.

No need for sorries! I'm loving it!! So many gorgeous collies. Wow, Pete and Ben are so handsome. I'm so glad you posted pictures. What about Jethro do you have any more of him? I can't remember if you still have him at home or if he found a home. I should have grabbed him up also..lol. I want them all.

Zack is home and doing well!

[dukedogsmom]

This thread is making me want a collie! They are so beautiful. I especially like Kelsey, from what I've seen.

Thanks Robin! And I am glad Zack is home and doing well! I'm sure by tomorrow he'll feel even better..

I was looking on my computer to find more pictures and found a couple more to post...

Here is Pennie AKA: JAWS



And here is a picture of "the old man" - Laddie, my first Collie playing with Kelsey when she was just a pup. This picture was taken when Laddie was roughly 10yrs old.. Kesley was about 2 1/2 maybe 3 months old... He LOVED puppies!!! was so gental with them. Didn't much like being bugged by the other adults, but he put up with puppies very well..


Laddie - 10yrs old


Laddie - October 16, 1994 - February 12, 2007

I got him for Christmas when I was 12yrs old, and he lived for 12 1/2 yrs. He was my 4-H dog, my agility dog, we did USDAA agility for a few years when he was younger and he loved it! He was VERY protective of me, and proved it on more than one occassion... But most important he was my first Collie - a true collie in heart and soul, and the reason I love this breed so much!!!

[jennielynn1970]

Oh my gosh! Zach is soooo handsome!! You look so happy with him, it's so great! I love the pics of the other collies too!

[K9karen]

Hey, Robin.. I was sending you good vibes all day, when I suddenly thought..."Zack's the PERFECT MALE"!

i always said that ifmy RB Cody was turned into a human, I'd marry him!

I loved your "gotcha" story and that your dream came true, 'cause you deserve it!

[cyber-sibes]

Great story, Robin! You're right, he was meant to be yours. Your story reminds me of how we got Jack. (I'll be brief, but I know how much you love Jack, so you'll like this)
You may remember I posted pictures of his incredibly cute litter when they were born 3 yrs ago. I really wanted one, but knew they were all destined for show. I looked at those pictures for two years, along with all the ones of him growing up posted on his kennel's website. So when Sue told me she was retiring a show dog, & let her know if we'd be interested - I thought, wouldn't it be great if it was one of those pups? ...and it turns out that Jack was my favorite from that litter! Kind of feels like "destiny" that he's joined our family. (heehee, little joke there - his kennel is called Destiny Siberians, & he's "Destiny's DaVinci")

Zack looks like he belongs, too - now you have three stunning pups instead of two! Big hugs to all!

[Kater]

Awwwwww, he is just dazzling! Sort of an odd choice of words, I know, but that is what comes to me. All the Spiritwind Collies are just stunning.
Thank you both for sharing his story! I'm glad he is settling in relatively well.

Welcome to the poshy retirement years, Mr. Zack!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Congrats!!! He sure is handsome.
