Mollie our new and adorable Border Collie puppy is definitely keeping me on my toes.
We have only had her a few days, yet it already feels like she has lived here a lot longer.
How clever are Border Collies!?! First day we had a few toilet accidents in the house then on only day 2 she started whining to be taken outside! Maybe because we bought her from a farmer and was used to being outside? (The Vet said farm puppies are easier to toilet train.)
10 Things I've Learned From A 8 Week Old Sheepdog Puppy:
- There is more than one 2 o'clock in a day. {Yep and two 4 o'clocks and even two 6 o'clocks}. Saying this I got 7 hours sleep last night!!
- You can fall in puppy love and care so much for something you have only had a few days. {She is so sweet everyone loves her, who sees her.}.
- Running around the garden in your PJs in the middle of the night can be fun! {Trying to tire her out for a few more hours sleep}.
- Everytime you speak to your puppy the words that come out sound like baby talk. {Good girl!! goo goo}.
- A Border Collie can learn something straight away. {Day 2 whining to do her business, amazing!! still a few wee accidents though}.
- How quickly an 8 week old can be toilet trained. {Read no.5, hehe}.
- A puppy makes a good foot warmer. {Just stand in the same place for more than a few minutes e.g washing the pots and she comes and lays on them!}.
- You should never leave your shoes around. {The laces must be so tempting to chew on}.
- Every smell that is made in the house the can now be blamed on the dog! {Boy can she trump!!}.
- She grows in confidence every day. {Day one she just sat quietly, now nobody's feet are safe!!}.
