So we have officially adopted a puppy.

She is a Labrador / Border Collie mix (they think), seven weeks old, and named Ruby. She is very cute.

We'll get her in a week when she's old enough to come home.

The girls are ecstatic.

The adults are making plans...

Here's hoping the Lab personality predominates; Border Collies tend to be workaholics and I get the impression that Katie and Julie would NOT appreciate being herded.

I was thinking that, too ... a Border Collie needs a LOT of stimulation, both mentally as well as RUNNING!!! Otoh, since labs are notorious for inhaling all the food they can get, a lot of running wouldn't hurt them, either ;-) A mix of both must look really cute, I imagine (and patiently wait for photos ;-))

The good news is that we have a big fenced yard. And if she needs more space than that we have the soccer field behind the house.
And a couple of girls that like to run around a lot, too.

Interesting. Half OCD ADHD, half "whatever" couch potato. I'll enjoy hearing how that goes.

PS Pets welcome at FKO hotel, with "clean up" deposit.

Wait. What. There's some other way to acquire a dog than to have it, just, show up on your porch? Wow...

Being as Tollers are frequently described as Border Collies in a retriever suit, I approve of this potential combination of personalities/work ethics. :-D

Have fun with her!
