gypsy84 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Gas spent driving around to animal shelters: $20 Collar, food and toys: $60 Adoption fee: $200 Finally getting my own BC puppy after years of begging my parents: Priceless! Hey everyone, I'm a proud new Border Collie owner and new to this site! My puppy's name is Gypsy and she's a 3 month old tricolour smooth female. I've never owner a BC before, but I've lived with dogs all my life and have always admired everthing about Borders--from some of the posts I've read I definitely don't have to go on about their beauty, intelligence, loyalty, etc I got Gypsy from an animal rescue shelter where she had been turned in with 8 other littermates. Her mom was a purebred border collie and her dad could have been anything, but by her looks and the way she acts and carries herself, there's no doubt in my mind he was a border too! Anyways, here's some pictures of my little girl and her big brother Milford (my sister's rottie X elkhound). ~Lisa & Gypsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsy84 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thanks everyone for you warm welcomes, I'm sure this will be a very useful site for getting information and people's opinions about dealing with my little monster! She's definitely a puppy and she won't let me forget that either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Festerling Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Congrats and enjoy! The fun is just beginning. Nothing like having someone live with you that is probably smarter than most relatives! (And no I am not picking on someones family!)

Enjoy the puppyhood while you can it flys by to quickly! I know what you mean! I've had her for one month and 2 days now, and she's already more then doubled in weight and grown several inches! She used to be able to run under the coffee table in our living room with room to spare, now whenever she forgets to duck she cracks her head on it with a sound that makes me cringe, but she doesn't even seem to notice! Also, from the pictures I first took of her when she first came home, I can see such a difference in her body shape and her face... She's much less "puppyish" if that makes any sense! Ah well, I'll just have to keep on taking thousands of pictures and videos to look back on when she's all grown up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy84 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Oh yeah, and her house-training is coming along quite nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Devils Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Gypsy looks like Tempe's brother. I will see if I can find one of him and get permission to post it. They could almost be twins They are just over a year old now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, since she's growing like a weed, I think we'll need more photos to prove it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
