Happy birthday Scooter!
Our puppy is now one year old. It was a bit of a decision to get a new dog after our beautiful Amy died, but after a year without a dog in the house it was time.
We called her Scooter. After the character on the Muppets. And scooters in Vietnam. And because none of us could agree on a name and Chris just announced 'the dog's name will be Scooter regardless of breed or gender'.
She's so FLUFFY!
She has quite a calm personality for a border collie, she likes hanging around at home. And eating flowerpots.
She takes her responsibilities as a chicken rounder very seriously. So seriously we even found her chewing on a chicken in the backyard recently. She is no longer allowed in the backyard when the chickens are having a walk until she can control herself.
She loves water - beach, hose, river, puddle. She will even willingly come and have a bath and sit quietly while she gets a massage and warm water poured on her. Actually I would sit quietly for that as well. Her hair goes crimpy when it is wet.
She is a pretty good dog. Sometimes I forget she is not our old dog and try to get her to do the things Amy used to do. But then she does some Scooter type stuff. Like gives us an old ball to throw. It very typical to have a ball-obsessed border collie.
We love our dog.
She is probably thinking 'somewhere on this beach there must be a ball. And I must fetch it'.
Cause I know what she thinks.
She is gorgeous! Our B&W border collie came from a litter containing a few of these lovely ones - "wheaten," we were told Scooter's colour is called. Correct? No idea. So Jaz has a dad, a brother and a sister who look just like Scooter.
