New Family Member

We have one new family member, Allie! She is 19 weeks old and is a Border Collie/Lab Mix dog. As any puppy, she is full of energy! It has become a challenge to keep up with her and Ruby at the same time. I wish I can bottle up both of their energies and store them for myself at a later use.

The picture above is from the first day we adopted her at 12 weeks. She has since then almost doubled in size. She is estimated to weigh around 35 lbs at adulthood. Her mother was a 25 lb border collie and her Dad was a normal sized black lab.

Some days are tough with her, but she was finally house-broken around 15 weeks. She can sit and lay, but is quickly learning to stay and shake her paw.
