The first Butterscotch Farm Collie litter turned 6 months old today! It feels like a lifetime ago...it was a chilly spring morning, and I kept going back and forth between Nala and the woodstove, trying to get the temperature of the dome up for the new arrivals.
Well, the pups have really grown up, and are starting to look close to how they will look as adults.
I asked the puppy owners for current photos to post, and most were able to participate. It's so fun to see the similarities and differences! ❤️
Rolo, now Rangeley:
Rangeley loves to go on walks with his people, but equally loves to snuggle with them on the couch. His people are buying a house, and they joke that they're actually buying it because it has a big back yard for Rangeley. Rangeley knows "paw," "sit," and "stay." He is about 42 pounds. Here are a couple photos:
Bullseye, now McGruff or Gruffy:
The report is that Gruffy is doing excellent and really coming along well with his training. A couple days after she picked him up, his owner said that he was the smartest pup she had ever had. He is a very trainable pup, and she is a great trainer - within a couple weeks, she was able to ask him to "stay," and walk out of sight to the other end of the house, and he would obey! ❤️
Here is a picture from when he was about 10 weeks old:
Zagnut, now Ziggy. Ziggy's owner says:
Hi Sarah! Ziggy is doing great! He gets along with all the animals in our house and is a sweetheart with everyone. He is doing a lot of commands and is so food driven it has been fairly easy! Thanks for Ziggy!
Honey, who kept her name. It sounds like this little girl has tons of personality! She "talks" to her owners to tell them when she needs to go potty. She is an expert beggar when it comes to people food. And when she goes out, she always runs around the truck twice before coming back in. In addition, like her siblings, she is very snuggly and thinks she is a lap dog.
Here are a couple recent pictures of Honey:
