Oh!! what a dog! Isn't he just absolutely beautiful and adorable?? I am sure he's in for a very happy life with you and yours Ghilly. Lovely to see him.....sure we'll see many more pics of him

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen a Collie puppy before, despite one-time working in a boarding kennels when I was a strip of a lad. No wonder you couldn't resist him. What a fantastic life he's going to have with you.

Thanks, guys.  :)   This little one has already stolen my hubby's AND my heart already!  He is spoiled rotten but he's just so, SO sweet and so mild and nice that he doesn't even know that he's spoiled!  He has two goose-down beds, one in the bedroom and one in the living room, every time I get a paycheck I go online and buy him another couple of toys.   He gets his Canidae puppy chow and with every meal I mix in something to make it more interesting.  Sometimes it's cottage cheese, sometimes it's yogurt, sometimes it's pasta, but he always gets something mixed in with his food.  He is just a LOVE!  He looks at DH as his playmate and me as his cuddlebuddy and his personal chef and valet.  LOL!  I just sit and stare at him at night while he's sleeping or playing with his toys or playing with the cats, I just can't get enough of him!  :D

TWO goose down beds! well yes he IS spoiled rotten! (wish I had even ONE goose down bed!) It's nice to add something to his kibble, it can be a bit dry and boring on its own. I do that with Misty's food.

Working at the hotel here I have access to lots of stuff the average person wouldn't.  Our owner bought out the contents of a hotel up at Chicago's O'Hare airport and in that lot were these white down comforters.  We have no use for them here because it never gets cold enough in S. Texas to need more than a regular comforter or blanket (we use air conditioners 12 months of the year), so she (our owner) told me to grab however many of the comforters I wanted.  I got three.  I took a king sized one to use as a mattress pad on our bed and I took two twin-sized ones to use as puppy beds.  I folded the twin-sized ones in half and put one in the living room between the couch and the windows and another one in the bedroom next to the bed.  Because my spine is so bad and causes me so much pain I tend to sleep on the couch because it keeps me from rolling over onto my stomach while I'm sleeping and causing me HUGE amounts of pain.  He has already decided that he prefers to sleep near his Mommy, and it's so cute to look down on the floor and see him cuddled there.  He INSISTS on being close to me no matter what I'm doing.  :)
