Somehow, I wound up getting another dog. She belonged to one of my coworker's sons, who just wasn't taking care of her. She was constantly bored and chewing things up in the house. She escaped from their backyard twice. The first time, she was recovered by an old lady two miles away. The pound got her the second time, who required $300 "bail."

She's a good dog, though. Tasi's 11 months old. Her name means "ocean" in Chamorro, the native language of Guam. That's where her previous owners are from. She doesn't chew on anything she's not supposed to as long as she gets some exercise. She's still not entirely housebroken, but we'll get there eventually.



I happened to bring Tasi home on Skippy's fourth birthday. She was not so sure about this birthday present.



...at first, anyways. They get along really well now.

Good for you! I hate to see abused/neglected dogs. All Chamorrow needs is some attention and exercise.

Poor Skippy - great shot while in acceptance mode!

Border collies make every job go faster, and more fun.

I see each brought a tennis ball just in case you weren't having any fun.

And you might be careful around that shed - those uprights look like they're bowing under the weight of the roof!

The last thing border collies want is no fun.

I'll take the same image with the Sigma 8-16 rectilinear tomorrow, just to ease your troubled mind.

I don't know if I posted this before, but I came across it looking for something else....



Tripper's litter, he's Male 1. By the time we phoned, he was the only puppy left, and they advised us not to take any time getting down there if there was any chance we wanted him. Tripper and his litter mates went a long way towards paying a young guy's university tuition. They lived on a farm near Orillia, and his father allowed him to breed their two border collies and sell the pups, as his contribution to his education. That's $4,000 worth of pups there. When Tess asked him what Tripper was like the guys said "he's a shit disturber." Tess said "What ?" He said "Oh nothing." Guess what? He's a shit disturber. Tess is always remarking on how lucky he is he came here. A lot of folks would have given him up, he would have ended a rescue. He may be an SD, but he's my SD, and I never see how much trouble he causes, just how much fun he has, and how much fun he is to be with.
