Cowboy - It Doesn't Get Better Than This!

[TAH]

Cloudy and overcast today with on/off rain.... So, I've got some kinda cloudy and overcast pictures of Cowboy settling in and getting acquainted with his big sister. So exciting to have a PUPPY!View attachment 18834

You be nice to me and I'll be nice to you.

Isn't he the cutest thing ever! He's already out there giving 'backup' to his big sister. In a day or so, if it ever stops raining, I'll take him out to feed with me and let him start getting to know his OTHER big sister - Maddie (Pyr extraordinaire!).

He is super cute. Can't wait till we have LGDS.

I love his brindle color! He is so cute and I hope he makes you a wonderful dog.

Thanks ya'll! I can already tell that he's gonna be a handful, lol. Let the adventure begin!

More like let the battle of wits begin......

You're right about that!

Am I imagining the size of his paws? They look almost as large as the full grown collie's... He's gonna be on pretty big cowboy! I hope he works out to be all that you want and expect!

Good observation LS! His paws are every bit as big as hers. He's gonna be a big boy. His mom was 120 pre-pregnancy and his dad a bit heavier. I'm about to make a vet appt. for him later this week so I'll get an official weight then.

Congrats on the new bundle of teeth and trouble, I mean JOY He is an absolute DOLL!!! !

Ha, you are right on the money, lol. He decided a couple hours after he got home that the best defense was a good offense and he launched himself at Gracie and he wasn't even kidding!

I forgave his antics for the most part, but about the 5th time he went after her (and she was just laying down watching him from about 5 feet away) I had to intervene. I (gently - no abuse here ((yet!)) put him on his side and made him stay there until he quieted down. While he has been handled and socialized with people, he has never had to observe any manners except for what his mama and littermates taught him, so that was his first lesson.

By this morning they are the best of friends - even sharing a food bowl.
