She arrived at our home on Saturday bearing gifts (dog crate, bowls, food, balls, toys leash, and even her own toothbrush and toothpaste) and a bone shaped tag with the name Lucky.
It was less than a minute after meeting me that she was on her back wanting me to rub her belly.
One of the first things that needed to be addressed was her name. Because we don't believe in Luck we needed to find a more appropiate name. On Saturday we tried the name Blessing but found that to be a mouthful. Yesterday she was Lily. Today...well lets just say we are still working on a name.
It wasn't long before she was resting comfortably in the laundry room.
Lily appears to be part boarder collie and a hunting breed (she was pointing out a rabbit shortly after her arrival). She is smart and full of energy. She loves playing ball, going for walks, and meeting other dogs. She likes exploring the wash and stirring up the quail that rest in the shade of the brush. She doesn't care for going to bed at night in the garage and cries a few minutes before she settles down and she is having a hard time sticking to the stay on the tile rule as she would like to be able to follow me through the house.
For the most part she's done very well with the changes...with the exception of an extension cord that looked a bit too much like a chew toy...and yes the cord was plugged in during the chewing.

Ahhh... what a cute puppy! Did she come trained? My days still coming for me to have a puppy again!
Does she have a name yet?
It appears that Lily or Lilly or Lillie has stuck. Any input on the spelling?
Very cute puppy. I need a better view of her to see what she really looks like. So makes me want to get another dog!

I find dog photography to be a challenge but I'll see what I can do!
Judith-
Yes, she is house broken and does an excellent job with "come" so much so that I let her run free in the yard when I am out with her. She was trained to stay on the tile at her old home but does that much better for Jay than for me....she much prefers to sneak a nap on the carpet.
