Davie is improving by leaps and bounds- he has conquered his fears of the furnace, the kitchen floor, and doorways. He knows that toys are fun, and loves to play with things that squeak. He doesn't quite understand tugging yet, and drops the toy as soon as you reach for it. All apologetic- it's funny. He has also discovered that dogs are wonderful. Especially black and white ones. I think he will always be a border collie snob. Seriously- he sees a black and white dog and his tail starts wagging, the flirty ears come out, and sometimes even a whine.
I met with my friend Jen and her BC Neena this morning for Davie's first off leash play. He did fantastic. I am not sure what I was worried about! He checked in with me frequently, and never once wandered off. The exercise was great for him- (still trying to work out the weird unbalanced muscles from running in circles on his tie out). And he is tired now- sleeping on his bed by the door.
I took a ton of photos- here are some of my favorites.
 |
| I love his smiley face. He is a very happy guy when he is relaxed. |
 |
| Neena- looking for trouble no doubt! |
 |
| Watching where you are going is over-rated. He ran like this almost the whole time. lol |
 |
| that's a bit better. Eyes ahead Davie. |
 |
| handsome. he's such a good looking dog. |
 |
| he can be fiesty when he is in the mood. he and neena had a great time biting and running together. it was very cute. |
 |
| very proud of the ball. he just recently has started seeking toys out in the house- and this is the first time he played with a toy with another dog around. |
 |
| now he is teasing neena with the ball.... |
 |
| the border collie stare. neena had the ball. |
 |
| i am not sure what this is. lol! neena is in the air and davie is ??? |
 |
| running! |
We are looking forward to more off leash walks with Neena!

yay Davie!
that is so wonderful to see!!!, maybe he will like Tate!, he's black & white :)
there is nothing better than a Border Collie.. they are just too smart for their own good...have had a BC in our life for the last 35 years, some have been working dogs, and some have been the best pets in the world... enjoy him
he looks super happy - lucky Davie to be hanging out at your house!

Look like he is really starting to like life at your house. Good job!! Diana
I would say he's really bonded to you now! :) I never walked him on a leash when we traveled 'cause he would never leave me and now he's doing the same for you. He's so funny - he has always reminded me of my Hemp dog a little and when Hemp moved into the house he didn't know what to do with toys either - now he's quite destructive! Davy had one toy at his dog house and the first thing he'd do was toss it and it would be out of reach so there wasn't a whole lot of playing with it!
