It has been interesting having Jill back....of course she left her puppy pack when she was 8 weeks old and went to live with Adele. Adele has done a great job with Jill.....taking her to doggy-daycare....spending time with her....and having good interactions with the two corgis that make up Adele's canine family. Adele wanted Jill to come and spend some time with my pack of border collies.....letting her be with "her people" so to speak! Jill is very people oriented....and loves to play with toys!

But she was not so sure how she fit into my pack of border collies! Sister Gyp did not particularly care for her......and my dogs are not that into toys. The first couple of days, Jill stayed by me while the other collies ran around and did their back-yard moves.

Today...after working sheep....Jill and Gyp have decided that they really do like each other.

And Jill has decided that it is way more fun to run with the big dogs than it is to hang with boring old me......
Here is the Nell family...from left to right...Gyp, Jill (laying) Nell and big cousin on Nell's mom's side...Spark! All with Aled Owens lines in them.....what a group!
Seize the Day!
I loved the pictures of the girls, but I do have to say that seeing Spark was the best. I haven't seen a picture of him since Jake was young. (hint hint)
ReplyDeleteThank you Auntie Lora, for taking such good care of my Jilly-bean. We finally got wifi this evening.
ReplyDeleteWill post blog later. Poor Jill will be sooo confused when she gets home - Border Collie?? Corgie?? Wha?? She's a treasure.
Great pictures! My Mudi pup is going to spend time with "his own peeps" later this month, I can't wait to see the pictures! They definitely need some time with their own kind. Right now, he is just one of a very motley crew (Bichons, Rottie, English Bulldog..)
