Here is a virtual rose for You and a Milk bone biscuit for Joy.

Joy is beautiful. I see she came with little white socks.

Between 2 and 3 months, according to the vet.  ;D

I learnt a few things about Joy during this brief time she's been with me:

She's hyperactive and doesn't focus on anything that isn't a tasty morsel, but she's damn smart. Almost toilet trained already. This could be explained by the fact that she's mostly Border Collie according to the foster who was looking after her, and that breed is known for their smarts. Even though she doesn't focus much, I can see she's responsive and will be easy to train.

When she's not sleeping she demands undivided attention. Normal puppy stuff.

New people she meets must first pay the belly toll. She lies on her back and exposes her black and white belly, which must be rubbed.

She sometimes makes suckling noises when she dreams.

She took one of my shoes and hid it. I'm still looking.

Yesterday I noticed her whiskers had been cut. According to the vet, some people believe cutting off a dog's whiskers will keep it from finding its way home again. That broke my heart. How can anyone not want such an adorable little puppy?

Congrats on the new puppy! Cutting whiskers is only something I've heard of people doing to reduce their cat's ability to navigate, such as jumping accurately onto a couch. I'm not a cat lover, but that seems kind of mean, to me. Just know that border collies need a LOT of stimulation, or they will tear your place apart. Consider yourself warned! :smilenod:

Bad Penny II

I've been auditioning a replacement for Green.
I had a kayak on the verandah while the garage was being replaced.
I was going to move it but an adorable green tree frog had moved in.
So I left it few days until my wife was going to use it and he was still there.
Yes he is a he, I heard his impressive call before I met him.
The kayak is gone but I've set something up on a chair.  He's gone out one night and returned once so far.
It is worrying, there are kookaburras and butcher birds and the nemesis of green tree frogs, green tree snakes (diurnal).
He is big, about palm size with legs folded in.
He let me pick up when I was rearranging his home  :love:
Apparently, maybe they are the most popular pet frog and can live for 20 years in captivity, Green II isn't a prisoner though.






But he's got eyes like Sauron!
Take my advice, don't listen to me.
