My wife has been really down. Her parents both died in the last 18 months and her favorite pet, Zippo, died.
Today I picked up Zippo's ashes in a lovely wooden box.
Today my wife came back with her new 8 week old Shetland Sheepdog puppy. He weighs 4 pounds.
Congrats on the new mouth to feed. And sorry about Zippo. Now all you need is sheep for the new puppy to herd. ;D
Here he is
That pooch is disgustingly adorable!!! :smitten:
He looks like a real winner. I would start out stern and in about 10 min. he'd have making 'baby-talk' words to him. After that I would probably sit on the floor while he slept in my chair. You gotta draw the line somewhere.
I grew up with Shelties and showed them in my days in 4-H. They are beautiful dogs if a little temperamental.
Looks like a great pup, Airboy.
My condolences for your wife's parents. That can't be easy losing both in such a short time.
Beautiful dog. My family had a Shetland on our ranch when growing up. They're wonderful animals.
Dash is now 8lbs - he has doubled in weight over the last 60 days.
I have additional pictures at: https://averysgameblog.wordpress.com/2019/03/14/dash-feb-28-2019/
When awake he is in constant motion and I shot about 20 pictures go get 4 unblurred shots.
Sounds like he's got the right name if he's that hard to get a shot of. Lovely dog!
Cool dog - his name fits his appearance.
