At 7 weeks old, with the frog he stole from Lennah |
7 weeks old, so cute |
It has been awhile since I have written anything. Mostly because I pretty much have been
living at TJ’s and he didn’t have Internet till a couple days ago. So I really have not been in touch with
the cyber world the last couple of months.
I also have been pretty occupied with my new member of my house. His name is Diesel; he is an 11 weeks old Border collie. He has consumed a lot of my time on my days off. Mostly, I watch him and make sure that he doesn’t do anything that he isn’t suppose to which is very distracting from other daily routines. He actually is a pretty good puppy. Potty trained already with only 2 incidents in the house. He loves his crate and sleeps willing in it every night and during the days when I’m at work. He is a licker and a biter (which we are trying to break). He loves his tail and has tail wars daily. Kind of a pansy, doesn’t really live up to his name, but I guess all 11-week-old puppies are. He gets along great with Claire the cat and uses her as his own personal chew toy. Totally a herding dog, always tries to herd you in the yard. Hate water! To the point when the shower is on he hides. Retrieves balls and plays with his own approved toys except for one causality which was my band new $70 laptop cord….grrr.
Rare occasion where he is not eating her |
My men |
He always stays right by your side; except when getting in the vehicle. He doesn’t like going places (or at least in the vehicle) he will take off and run the opposite direction, where I have to retrieve him and pick him up and put in the vehicle. Hopefully he grows out of that.
Over the last month of having him he has defiantly became a momma’s boy and is always attached to my side and always chooses me over TJ. I say in the divorce TJ would get the dog but we might have to reevaluate that J.
It’s been awhile since I have had a dog and I really missed it. It’s amazing how different they are from cats. And how much I love having a dog. I do believe he thinks he is a cat and Claire is a dog.
New Bed I made today |
Can’t wait till it’s a little nicer outside and not blowing 65mph wind go on walks and runs. Border Collies need a lot of exercise and hopefully I can keep up with him when he gets bigger.
Now don’t get we wrong I would someday love to have a golden retriever so maybe in a year we will start over with the puppy training. More to come with the animals in my life.
