The adventures of Bubbie and Soley
July 4th week, 2010
|
|
| Bubbie is forlorn that his beloved Soley is leaving with another man |
|
|
| "I'm going after her! Come back, Soley!" |
|
|
| "I'm catching her! Soley! Soley! Come back!" |
|
|
| "Thank goodness, I caught you. Just let me in now and get rid of this guy." |
|
|
| Bubbie Passed a Herding Instinct Test 3.10/11.10 |
17 Weeks Old
Besides being a handsome little guy, he is the sweetest mini man.
We sure love our Bubbie!
|
|
| What time is dinner? This bug is not enough for a growin' boy. |
|
|
| Look at me, I'm king of the mountain. |
|
|
| Hey! I'm playing with my mama! Watch out for me. I'm small but mighty! |
|
|
| Hey, where did the others go? |
16 Weeks
Thorri passed his Herding Instinct Test on March 10/11, 2010 under
John P. Carter of Benthill Working Dogs. At 16 weeks, he went in the ring and completed a "outrun,
lift and fetch" on his own before I was all the way into the pasture area. We were all amazed and John said we have "something
very special and a huge responsibility". I guess I better get busy and find an instructor.

| My ears are not really up yet unless I hold my head just like this. Quick, take the picture! |
|
|
| This is my crazy face! I just had a bath and am one silly boy now. |
|
|
| I smell sooooooooooooo good. |
|
|
| Shhhhhhh. Mama is sleeping. |
12 Weeks Old
|
|
| I went to the park and met one of Kol's puppies, Roki. He is a big man now and I loved him. |
|
|
| Hey, Roki! Let's play! (Roki has a beautiful temperament and was very gentle with Thorri) |
|
|
| Eyjahunda Roki from Kol's 2008 Litter. Roki is a therapy dog in his mom's private practice. |
|
|
| Roki and Thorri meet. It was a wet and cold day, but the boys didn't care! |
9.5 Weeks
|
|
| Hey Nel, this is my best "I love you" face. |
Thorri is 9.5 weeks old now and it is amazing how quickly he is growing and learning. We took
Ras, Kol and Thorri to the pastures today and they had a great time. Ras and Kol play a little too hard for the baby but he
watched and had fun playing his own games. We are really smitten with this fellow. Terry calls him "Little Bubby."
Watch
TT and Ras play.

This kind of play is very important and teaches him appropriate
play behavior and limits. They love it and it sure is fun to watch. TT is in his second fear stage, so we are doing a lot
with him and exposing him to many new experiences. He is a great little guy.

|
| Did you say snack or stack? |
|
|
| I think I saw a puddytat. |
|
|
| Ras is looking pretty again after motherhood. |
|
|
| My favorite part of the day, acting like a BIG dog. |
