    What a handsome dude. If there were a dog ear award, he'd certainly win it.

    I hope you have many happy years together.

    What a handsome fella Shiloh is!! Yep, looks mostly border collie to me. And I have known several over the years - let me guess - he has LOTS of energy, right? They are so smart and fun! Congrats on your new buddy!!

    Awe, what a sweetie. I love animals.

    I had to get my yellow lab put down this summer. Even though she was gentle, her big dog bark definately keep the riff raff away from my house. And, I felt very safe with her as my hiking campion. There's just something about having a dog of larger size that crazy peeps don't want to mess with. A good thing.

    Border Collies can run like the wind. That's my never ending chase me dog on a road I don't go down anymore. All the gym roadies know the same with the border collies. The dog didn't want to bite me. Just heard my bike down like a sheep. Fun dog-mom exercise helps that energy (same with the labs).

    Hope you have many happy healthy years together.

    Tulip - Get a good book on Border Collies, my favorite is The Versatile Border Collie. They are my all time favorite breed but can tend to train their owner before you even realize it's happening.

    I'm glad y'all like him. He's met my BF, and now all of you. He does like to play, but inside the house he's very calm. We're going to do an obedience class, mostly for me, but he does pull on the leash.

    He has tons of personality, yet is still a velco dog and just likes to hang out with people. He's not much on other dogs, he can take them or leave them. He likes cats alot and would like to have one of his own, but I'm allergic to them.

    I changed my hair for the winter, by the way. Easier when I have to get up early and go for dog walks.

    Yes, I'm sure we'll have many happy ears...I mean years...together if day one is any indication.
