A New Addition To Our Family!


I just had to share our exciting news - MOTH & I are going to be grandparents of this gorgeous little bundle! Son # 5 is picking her up tomorrow & he's as nervous as any new Father I've ever seen. She's an 8-week old, Tri-Colour pure-bred Border Collie as yet un-named. He'll be a wonderful doggie Daddy, very responsible, careful, kind & loving & I'm sure she will be in good hands. And if you need another hit of puppy love head over to see Anna's gorgeous new arrival Ned at Absolutely Beautiful Things - he's such a cutie.

  3. Up popped this beautiful puppy image & just had to have a look - he's a cutie as is Anna's little "Ned". Hopefully, there will be progress reports along the way. Getting chilly down there?

  13. Oh wow! We have a 3 year old Border Collie & prior to her we had a tri colour.
    You will all adore her! They are something very special and just a huge part of the family. Shelby thinks she's human I'm sure. She even sneaks on to son's bottom bunk at night!

  17. Beautiful! Border Collies are very, very smart. They definitely need a job. My best friend had one and loved it dearly. As it got older they got a jack russell to keep him busy and they were quite the pair.

  19. Oh you will just love your Border Collie. Our Jess is a border collie and she's the best. We love her to bits. They are a bundle of energy and love to herd anything, toys, people, birds, other pets . . . You'll really enjoy him!
