There's a New Chief in Town

Well the last update was a bit in a rush, as we had to tend to our new pup. I wanted everyone to know how this came about. We went to Bass Pro Shop earlier today just to look around, and there was this guy running around with a sign that said "Border Collies!" So we went to visit them in the parking lot just to see what it was about.

When we walked up, one, Chief, stuck out like a sore thumb as our obvious choice. We both held him, and he never chewed or squirmed or acted up at all. Brittany said "sooo, are these free?" The lady's response was "we were trying to sell them for like fifty bucks but you can just have him if you want." So we went into the store, and I made sure Brittany thought about it for a while. We got Jen for a third opinion, and then decided we would never get such a good pup for free ever again, so we better take advantage.

We went out, got him, and brought him to Petsmart to get all his goodies. Everyone there seemed to love him, and we felt very proud to have him. He's got a few toys, a crate, a bed, and everything else. We took a few more pictures with the real camera.







He actually has two slightly different colored eyes which is very neat looking. He's been very obedient so far and seems to be extremely smart. Let's hope he gets potty trained as soon as possible! Apparently he will play frisbee with me when he gets older.
