Guest cgl0909 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 My name is Eleanor and I have just finished my first day in my forever home with my new parents Crystal and Andrew. I have settled in quickly with my new brother Elton and the family with no real problems so far. It wasn’t any time at all last night till I found my bed, plopped down, and took a nap. My parents tried to make me sleep in my new room in my crate last night, but I cried until they put my bed beside theirs and let me sleep there… after which I slept perfectly. Daddy got up for work early this morning and took me out for a walk then he brought me back in and took my brother out. Meanwhile I ran into momma’s room and jumped on the bed to wake her up. Momma took off work today so that I wouldn’t be home alone during my first big day here so I wanted to make sure she was up bright and early. I have never met another dog like my brother… he is a crazy border collie and although I haven’t seen him do drugs, I’m pretty sure he is on crack . I’m not sure when that dog sleeps…. I can’t wait till tomorrow when me and him get to go to a fenced in place to run and play together. I wish my parents would hurry up and get their fence built in their back yard, but they say that’s going to take a couple weeks. -Eleanor Btw, here are some pics they took of me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPoopon Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Congratulations on your new home Eleanor! It sounds like you made the right choice. And no, BC's don't sleep. I see you have some barely brindle areas--a lot like my Betsy. I hope you'll keep us posted on your adventures.

HopeForHounds Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 We had a 13 border collie when Foxy came home. She pretty much thought he was an alien. They became the best of friends and helived to be 18 a good part, I'm convinced, due to his new sister. Eleanor, I bet he'll be crazy enough to think he can beat you. When that doesn't work he'll try to herd you. Poor Angus used to race Foxy for the mail every day. He never figured out it was a loosing proposition.

You all brought so much into my light, and taught me so much about the power of love, you are with me always.If you get the chance to sit it out or dance.......... I hope you dance!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
