colin gets the vote!

When choosing a sheepdog puppy, I like look for the cleverest, bravest most adventurous puppy in the litter, so I’m still don’t know how I’ve been talked into keeping Colin! Of all of the pups in Fly’s recent liter Colin was undoubtedly the odd one out, which was how he came to be given such a silly name. But the rest of the family thought he was great and he soon became their favorite pup. Colin for his part was milking that attention for all it was worth. I suspect that he spotted that his litter-mates were fast disappearing to new homes, so playing the loveable fool would increase his chances of being able to stay put.

So once again I’ve been out voted in the house and yesterday my own favoured dog pup ‘Bud’ went off to a new home, leaving the soppiest, daftest looking (and cuddliest) collie pup in the litter, Colin, to carry the responsibility of being the next ‘great thing’ in the pack.

Well actually that’s not quite true, I wasn’t entirely out voted, as I was allowed to keep Zola as well. She’s not at all cuddly, or particularly cute, but she has already started chasing the chickens and eyeing the sheep…… Now that’s what I call a lovable pup!!

This is Colin!
