Our New Baby Boy Options

[Ambereyes]

We recently became the proud parents of Toffee , a Chocolate/Caramel/white border collie

he was 2 and a half months old when we got him (he's just gone three months now), his old owners bought him , but after a week found out that a family member had a serious condition needing lots of hospital treatment and they realised they couldnt keep the puppy ... so we gave him a home , and he has fitted in wonderfully

we werent going to get a dog quite so soon after losing our beloved Buddy Buddys thread but Toffee took our hearts and now wont give them back , lol

we figured seeing as how he was so young he would adapt easily to a name change as we hated the name they had given him , it just didnt suit him , and as we thought he has adapted well and comes when he's called , he's very intelligent and already knows loads of tricks i've taught him ... housetraining is another matter though , lol ... he sort of knows he is to go in the garden , but we still get accidents on the carpets , and he doesnt 'go' on his walks , but does as soon as he gets back into the garden
no matter, he's still a baby and im sure with patience , love and a little (lot) more training he'll learn

heres a few pics of him

A new Border pup! Oh- yes, he will learn and then he'll teach you his way of doing things. But you know Borders as well as I do. I remember when Duffy was that age-we were astounded by how smart he was and how quickly he picked up on things. I wish you the best of luck with little Toffee. Give him tons of hugs from me!
