We have been searching the newspapers and online for some time now to find
another fur child to fill out our family. The last of our poodles died at
seventeen years of age a few months ago. She went to join her twin sister
who died last year.

We still have the two cats. Jake the consummate Siamese gentleman, and
Molly the independent formerly feral Calico. But our house is empty
without a dog.

Yesterday we found and chose our newest. She is a four week old Border
Collie girl. Her face and ears are while, but there is a black patch over
one eye and black on her body. Also white feet and legs. A lot of the
white should dapple with gray and she gets older. She was bred by a woman
that trains stock dogs. I'll have pictures in a few days that I can post.
It never even occurred to me to take a camera along yesterday.

Now we have to come up with a good call name for her. Something Scottish
and distinctive that contrasts well with Jake and Molly. (I wish we
hadn't
wasted the name Molly on the cat. She has never once responded to it)

Funny how fast I went from yesterday being very undecided. I liked
several
pups we saw but they were all being sleepy little blobs and I had now real
preference for any one out of five girls I liked. This morning I woke
Charlie up to make him call to make sure they didn't sell MY puppy out
from
under me.

We will likely pick her up on my birthday, December 6th. St. Nicholas
Day.

I think it's wonderful you're getting a d-pet, however, if she's now 4
weeks old, and you're picking her up on 12/06, she will only be 6 weeks
old!! Pups need to be with their mom longer than that, just like kittens
do. I know you're anxious, but... What's the rush?




The breeder lets them go at six weeks. Once they are weaned and have
their
first shots. Since they are outdoor dogs now, the sooner we get her into
the house so we can housebreak her the easier it will be. I've hand
raised
pups from birth so she will get the right care, and both of us are retired
and have plenty of time to spend with her.

I know you're supposed to wait longer...however we got our staffy at 6 weeks
and just made sure we gave hr enough supplements. She was the runt of the
litter, and the other pups were beating her up too much so we had to take
her early. she definitely bonded to us better because of the early age, but
if you can, wait til at least 8 weeks, as she still needs nutrients in her
mother's milk that supplements don't provide...she will still be fine,
however she does need to be with her mum at this age.

Congrats! "Sleepy little blobs" made me giggle. I'm glad you found
the one for you.
