The importance of animal welfare is at the top of my list, with lions being in the forefront. There is a lot to be accompomlished and collectively the roar will be louder. That and my best friend a border collie named Seven.
pee time

pee time

my mum keeps scooping me up and taking me outside. i don’t like the step down into the unknown, of course no problem to go back inside where it’s nice and warm. once outside we either go for a walk down the road in front of my new home or mum stands there shivering saying pee-time seven, pee pee time. sometimes really hard not to pee inside, honest i don’t mean to. i’ll work on that one, promise.

the last two nights, when its dark and there are no lights on, i slept on this big bed with my mum beside me. how nice is that? it’s a long way down to the floor so i haven’t tried to jump down in the dark, later for that one.
no car ride today. i quite like those. we visited lots of people yesterday. i recognized one person, the nice lady who came with my mum to take me to my new home. but i didn’t know the others. they were really nice too and i think i will be going there often. this adventure is going to be so much fun.
this is what it was like today, trying to find a spot to pee, not an easy thing to do.
not too impressed
whew what a day

so much has happened in the last 24hours, not sure where to begin. but when that really nice lady, my new mum showed up again, i knew big changes were going to happen. she scooped me up in her arms and i gave her lots of kisses. we quickly left the house because my first human mum was feeling very poorly and she couldn’t even give me a kiss goodbye but i know we will see her again this summer, they promised me that.

and then i was on my mum’s lap in what is called a car.  i wanted to explore but i couldn’t so i talked all the way. wasn’t really sure what was going on! after what seemed a very long time, we stopped. then these amazing smells came into the car but again i couldn’t. nevermind because i really wasn’t hungry, too much going on!  then we stopped again and i got into another car with just my mum.  i quickly made it to the back seat and was falling asleep and then we stopped again.  good job too because i really had to pee!
then she scooped me up and took me inside a new house, my new home. all these new smells and 2 cats!  i thought one was one of my siblings, same size, same colour and i side checked her.  found out rather quickly that she was not.  after i settled in and smelt just about everything, i had dinner and promptly fell asleep.
whew, what a day!  lots more to come, life is good! see you tomorrow.
totallly exhausted

the other day this person called a vet checked me out. i was poked in all sorts of places, not really sure what they were looking for.  they did tell my human mum that i was good to go and a very healthy border collie puppy.  i weigh 8.6 pounds, must be all that good food i eat.
march 10th is not very far now even though i have not mastered the counting of days but i am sure that will come because we as border collies are of the utmost intelligence, so i am told.  march 10 is the day of my big move to my new home, it’s going to be so much fun.
i will miss my brothers and sisters but i am sure they will be going to lovely new homes too.
most of all though i will miss spot, he’s going to be staying with mum and dad. we have become best friends, playing and getting into mischief all the time.
my human mum keeps repeating the word “seven” to me cos that is what my new mum has called me. i like it!
you won’t hear too much from me until i move to my new home and then the tale/tail of seven will grow and grow just like me. so you won’t forget me, here’s another picture.

i continue to grow, continue to find new things to do, everything is so exciting but nothing beats that food bowl right now. all eight of us eat till we fall asleep so we can start all over again.
my human mum sent pictures of me to my new mum, so she can see how much i have grown and what a handsome border collie i am becoming. don’t you just love my blue eye and those freckles on my nose.
she says i love to play and am quite the little rascal! time is passing very quickly towards my move and there is a whole new world waiting for me to explore. my new mum is going to have so much fun with me, i can hardly wait.

please let me down

march 10

march 10

my human mum has told me that my moving date away from from real mum is march 10. i’m not sure what march 10 means but i do know though that i am really looking forward to sharing my life with my new mum, that really nice lady who i told all my stories and gave lots of kisses.

she is really excited to have another border collie and i will try my best to be a good dog, a good border collie but i will make mistakes, so please be patient with me.

i will be sharing my new house with 2 cats, look at them below.  i better behave myself.  i am told that they have very sharp claws and will try to grab me. i must learn not to chase them but they too are very young so we will grow up together and probably get into trouble together.  i will make sure they do not wander far and will bring them back to our house cos that’s what border collies do apparently.

each day i am getting bigger and stronger just like my brothers and sisters.  we play a lot, then collapse and sleep so we can do it all over again.

hope my human mum will send a new picture of me so i can show you how much i have grown and how handsome i am!

delphi’s eyes

see those beautiful eyes just above, aren’t they amazing and I bet you look at the blue eye first!
my human mum and the nice lady who will be my new human mum very soon think that I too will have one blue and one brown eye, that is very cool.  it does not happen very often, I am one very lucky border collie!
they call it a wall eye and I can see perfectly, it will not stop me from seeing all the new and exciting things I am finding each day, so there is no need to worry.
the beautiful lady above was my new mum’s princess so I am told, I am sorry that I will not meet her but maybe a little of her came to me and I like that very much.

wow! all these people think I am adorable.
a picture of me has been posted on Facebook and I now have almost 200 likes and lots of people sharing my picture! seriously, I do not know how this works but this is a good thing, right?
here I am
me on facebook and look at all those other border collies! there are lots of us around!
my mum still comes to feed us but she leaves and has fun times playing with dad, who is still afraid of us
I have been told that the nice lady who I met the other day really likes me and will be back in 4 weeks, that seems like a long time
but in the meantime we are all eating, growing, playing and discovering new and exciting things to do every day

I love cuddles

i was born on january 11, 2014
apparently i am a border collie and have no idea what that means
i have 3 brothers and 4 sisters and have no idea who came first
my world for the first few days was my mother’s milk, really i could not think beyond that, i couldn’t even see
but i was happy cos i was warm and my belly was full
i seemed to grow bigger every day and now big bowls of food are delivered to us and we all stumble towards this new food, it tastes strange but fills me up
yesterday i found myself in the arms of someone new, she seemed to really like me and i was trying to tell her my story so far and gave her kisses but not sure if she understood, i really hope she comes back to see me again
here’s a picture of us all and one of your’s truly, seven

all of us
me at 4weeks

i want to tell you my story, so please come back and visit for updates
