Lance and Joker, Joker follows me everywhere I go Lance tends to be
more independant. Can't do anything without an investigation from these two!

Today we got to play with our buddy (Major who is a Lab) next door,
we had lots of fun rolling around the mud. By the end
of the afternoon I think we were covered in mud.

Basking in the Sun

Basking in the Sun on Febuary 7th it's 58 degrees
today. So Joker is taking advantage of it.

Once upon a time there was a Collie pup born in Tennessee you 'al, and when he

became 3 months old, he came to live with me in Illinois and was named Lance.

When Lance first arrived at his new home his ears were
glued down to ensure the cropping of the tips
which is suppose to be.
I knew that I was not going to show him, he is my pet.
I took the glue and padding off of his ears and as he grew,
his ears started to stand up.

They call this "Pricked Ears" I actually like his ears
standing up.

4 Months Old

Lance is 4 months old and his ears are starting to go upwards.

6 Months Old

At 6 Months Old you can see his ears are now standing straight up.

He has such a sweet personality, and very curious too.

10 Months old

Lance at 10 Months Old and already lost his puppy face, but not quite

fully grown yet.

One Year Old

Lance is now a year old and he has a full grown look, but

Male Collies don't mature until about 4 Years old.

At one year he is weighing about 85 pounds.

Average weight for Male Collies is 75 pounds,

But I think he will gain more weight in another year.

Collies

>> Sunday, January 25, 2009

Collies are amount the most intelligent dogs around, and that

they are. Collies must have a good amount of yard space,

a Stable and Happy home. They are very sensitive dogs, just

raise your voice a little bit and they will start to shake as if

they have seen a ghost. They are curious about everything

you do, and everything around them (thats why they have

long noses). Collies makes great watch dogs, even though

Collies have no aggression at all, they'll still let you know

when someone is near by.

About Joker

The Breeder had called me when Lance was a little over a year
old, and asked me if I would like to have his half brother
because his owner returned him to her. I said that I would be
happy to have him. His name was Joker, I did not care
for that name but he

was already over a year old so I kept his name.
When he came to my Husband and I he weighed
only 44 pounds. Collies do not do well in a unhappy
home like his former

owners who were getting a Divorce. They will stop

eating and become very stressed. After about a year

later Joker was weighing 65 pounds, and then after two

more years he now weighs 73 pounds, Happy and

Healthy.
