aaagh Oh well

Moon is so gorgeous!  He is lucky he has you as a Momma!  I didn't know that abotu the merle coloring.  Thanks!

I think you must be one of the brightest women I have met in a long while.  Anytime you want to drop a pearl of wisdom on me feel free to do so!  I love learning new stuff!

Oh I'm just full of stuff ....none of it terribly useful.  I remember concepts, not data.  It made for some interesting meetings where I would explain what happened, but forget the actual number (sometimes millions) we were talking about...LOL.  I eventually just learned to doodle the number if people who didn't know me were around so that I could spout off the right number and get my point across without them getting lost in "wrong number....."

What a gorgous animal! That is like in spotted saddle horses you breed for a pattern and a color scheme have to be totally careful as if you dont, u can end up with a horse that will not be recognised as a part of the bred...I had a black and white spotted mate with a black and white tri color ended up with a sorrel colored mare that had blue, brown and green eyes mixed..she had a fiery temper to boot to. But when she matured she was a horse everyone wanted to ride...
Deb you are never condensing and if someone says that about you then they need to realize they are pointing 4 fingers back at themselves

Well, hurry up and heal so we can go horseback riding.

In the border collie world, it's a huge no no to act like you even care what the dog looks like as long as it is "sound and has herding ability"....and I agree the show ring has messed up a lot of breeds, but admiring a well marked animal-heck YEAH.  The idea of breed and registry vs. type of animal is only a few hundred years old at best.  Before that, the best animal for the job did the job. 

Moonie is growing like a weed!  What are you feeding him?  Kibble with Miracle Grow?

He's growing so fast he's not really sure where his legs start and end.....I love that gawky stage, although if he doesn't grow into those ears he may have a problem when the wind blows-he could just set sail.

HE'S GORGEOUS!!!  You are such a great mommy to all your babies!  Did you touch his nose and toes and tell him what a farty, farty good boy he was??  I'm sorry!  I couldn't help myself!!!

I did kiss him on his nose today at 'grandma's'.....does that count?  (Of course, I also called him a hyena yesterday......couldn't help myself, he IS in an awkward stage....)
