Title: Pip so far (fingers crossed)
Post by: evie2 on September 05, 2012, 18:15
Pip's now 6 months old ??? the time has flown by :nowink:  He's been to 'dog school', faced a medieval knight and his dragon :blink: turned many a young lady's head (Ali like taking him out places ::) ) heroically saved me from a wasp :) whose sting would have put me in hospital.  He's been to so many rugby games, that as soon as he sees Alis kit bag, he's at the  door waiting to go :lol: :lol:

He's gone from this . . . .

I'm hopeless ::) I'm now waiting for an adult or anyone who knows how to take pics from an email to a folder that will open to be posted >:(  I'd suggest a nice cup of tea while I try to find one ::)  It's worth waiting for ;)

She certainly is and she's his niece  :D  She was at the farm until she was 9 weeks and is more independant than Pip was but she's a quick learner and copies everything he does.  Luckily, if you don't count the shoes he likes to hide under the chicken coop, he's not naughty,  ::) 
She's very gentle but she stands up for herself when they play, which is just as well because he likes to drag her around by her collar, her ear and her scruff  :nowink:  Evie and Josh love her, she's small not like Pip who's all legs and bouncy :)  In fact Josh is out there with them atm feeding greens to the chickens and rabbits :happy:

As long as he doesn't do an "Andrex Puppy", like ours did once whilst I was out, when she was a youngster.  :mellow: It was far too funny to tell her off  :nowink: and it was a job not laughing either. ::)

Mist looks very pretty, our girl is quite tall for a bitch, but we know another very similar in colouring, older and about half her size. Like a mini-me...

We've had the ball of wool wrapped round the table, sofa and Mist ::)  Everything is fair game for hiding. Dust pans, brushes, mops, the occasional toilet roll and last night OHs jumper ::) :lol: There are days when I'll stand with hands on hips and say 'oh Pip, what are you up to' but I can't be angry, he's got me wrapped round his paw ::)

I think Pip takes after the bitch, she is quite sleek, the sire is more stocky.  The bitch and sire  Mist came from are both stocky with a thicker coat so it'll be interesting to see how she turns out :D I don't expect from either of them to hae the beautiful 'feathers' our other dogs had which is a shame.

They do look lovely but when all the dog wants to do really is get wet and muddy, they don't look lovely for long. ::)

True :)  When we were looking for a friend for Pip, we went to see some pups, the sire was a show collie with beautiful feathers who hates being wet and dirty and sits waiting to be dried, he's also never had a bath unlike Pip who will join you in the bath given half a chance and likes to paddle in his water bowl ::)

... collie with beautiful feathers who hates being wet and dirty

That's where ours has gone wrong. ::)

Pip sounds very cool.  8)
