RuthBelle Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hello everyone! Joined last week, have been reading the boards for quite some time, while pondering whether to get another dog. My Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix "Ruth" (avatar photo), passed away at the age of 14 a couple of years ago. She was my constant companion and traveling buddy. Finally made the decision, and here's my 8 wk old blue merle BC "Belle". She has a blue/brown merled left eye and with the dark "eye liner" I should have named her Tammy Faye. Here she is: <img src=http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/0painthorses/Belle30Sept07001.jpg> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthBelle Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thank you Anda for helping me out with the picture! How did you fix whatever I goofed up? I tried inserting the photo the way it works over at Ebay and it sure doesn't work here! Belle's dad is a black/brown/white tri-color and the mom is a red merle.

Anda Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Once in Photobucket, instead of copying the URL, copy the IMG code. It will have at the begining and the end of your link. Or copy the URL and then click the 5th button in the fast reply box on this board, the one next to the smiley face, called Insert Image - has a square picture with green and orange, then paste your link. Now that I've shared the precious secret, I can only see one way to be thanked: Immediatly post more pictures of your incredibly cute fur-ball of Belle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WoobiesMom Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 What a sweet heart! She really would fit the Tammy Faye name with those eyes, but then you'd have all those awkward questions! LOL! Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHorse Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Welcome to the boards. Belle sure is a cutie.Take lots of pics,they grow up fast.

Mudpups Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Beautiful, beautiful baby! My little boy Taj is 10 weeks old tomorrow, it will be fun to share notes as Belle and Taj kind of grow up together:) Make sure you takes lots of photos as they change and grow so fast. Beware the monster in puppy clothing - they will eat everything - and I swear they are psychic an will grab the only thing around them that you don't want them to have!

RuthBelle Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 IronHorse, what a beautiful dog your beautiful merle puppy grew up to be! It will be fun to see how Belle's color changes if at all. It almost looks like her darks are getting darker and her light areas lighter. Definitely takes after her papa with the brown areas. Here's a picture of Belle and my 14 year old cat checking out Belle's food bowl. Happy to say there was no growling (from either of them). The cat sniffed around the bowl then walked away. My old dog Ruth and the cat were best buddies; playing and sleeping together. I was worried that the cat may have decided the house was his after Ruth being gone for two years and wasn't sure whether bringing in a new puppy was going to upset him. Nah, he and Belle are getting along just fine. Whenever Belle gets too boisterous for him, he spits and takes a halfhearted swipe at her, and if she doesn't get the hint he heads for higher country. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/0pai...le8Oct07001.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/0pai...le8Oct07001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthBelle Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Mudpups, I looked through your photo gallery. Wonderful shots! I really got a kick out of the "Taj ready to lauch" picture. He is one handsome pup! My little chewing machine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpups Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thats a familiar sight:) She really is a very pretty girl, but anything within teeth range should be scared, very scared! LOL I love that ready to launch photo as well - you can just see the mad gleam in his eye. He is asleep in his crate at the moment so my house is safe for the time being.
