Luna (Haley/Sparky) at 7 weeks
This came recently from one of our Happy Owners:
Dearest Teri,
Just wanted to give you an update after a week with Luna home with us. She is totally the most amazing animal I have ever known. She is SO smart, loving, "with it", "on purpose", and just a total delight. She is learning very quickly, lets us know for the most part when she needs to go outside, though bathroom accidents still happen inside - we take her out so she doesn't have to tell us. She is sleeping really well, now only needing to go out once during the night. She comes to her name, sits, lies down, gets her ball and brings it back - and she is only 8 weeks old! Puppy class starts on Monday and I am sure she will have a blast!
She is adapting to her crate well, eating like a champ now - her appetite has really kicked in. She LOVES to be outside with Peter and our farm apprentices (WWOOFERS - World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms) as they work in the garden. While they are weeding and planting, she is exploring, nibbling on the good, edible plants, and playing. And she is so social - loves to meet new people.
I do have to say that I am totally scraped up by puppy teeth - so that now I am wearing long, elbow length, black calfskin gloves that belonged to my dear departed Mama to protect myself when we play together.
We just couldn't be luckier than to have her in our family!

Stirling - The Best Christmas Gift Ever

​ Merry Chrismas! As my husband and I are sitting here warming up and drying off from checking fences this morning in beautiful but cold and wet western Washington, we thought we would share some photos we took of Stirling (Nellie/Cinch) this morning. We've had him for just over a few days over a year and he's been such a blessing - and such an amazing gift to us last year around Christmas this year . . . nothing can top him!
He's still got a lot of maturing to do, but I have honestly not been around a more well mannered and even tempered one year old intact dog in my life. I'm certain that a good deal of that is genetic. We continue to work daily on obedience and agility - I hope to start competing a little more seriously come spring. He also is helping us with the stock while our old man border collie with the bad back continues to heal. One of these days I will film Stirling's out run for you . . . I wish I could take credit for training it but it's a thing of God given talent and a beauty to behold!
But even the simpler stuff, like this morning checking fences - super wet and cold and yet there he was, stride for stride with us, not lacking even the slightest bit of enthusiasm wading through chest deep cold water to keep up and was downright thrilled to be doing so. Just keeps me so impressed with him and the dogs you are producing. Thanks again, Teri!
Ashley and Dru
