Celebrating the 4th of July!!

ICE CREAM CONES & SPARKLERS

 

We had a very mellow holiday.. Had plenty of time to hang out with the pups! Here are some candid's of their playtime today.. What a great day to have their 5 week old birthday!!

 

Here is our sweet patches playing with a water bottle!

She kept pouncing on it like a cat so I decided to tape her..

 Its just a short clip but worth the watch!!

Why do big brothers ALWAYS pick on their sisters?

I love their little puppy paws!

DOG PILE!! All three joined in!!

 Here's Roper & Patches playing tug with some of our 4th of July paraphernalia!

 Cowboy taking a rest...

So in love with that brown ear of his!!

 Patches like playing with the soccer ball..

She couldn't quite figure out how to best fit it in her mouth to chew it though!

 Roper all sprawled out in the cool grass.. 

And.. mama always willing to help 'clean' up dinner!

 

We are very thankful for this amazing country we live in and for all of the Soldiers that fought for our freedom.. And for the soldiers that continue to fight to protect our Nation.. We are eternally in your debt! Thank you for your service!! God Bless America!! :)

LaZzy Sunday Afternoon...

We have so much fun playing with the puppies! Even when the piranha teeth come out! Here are some candid pictures we took this afternoon of our little fluff balls!

We have been introducing solid food to them the last couple of days.. 

 Tonight is the first time they devoured it!   

'KINDA' liking the puppy food I think!!

 

The video below, is of patches and my daughter playing..

Her tail was going a million miles an hour! SO stinking cute!!

Our little patches likes to surprise me
 by sneaking up from behind and playing tug on my shirt!

She is a very curious puppy!

She is always observing what's going on around her and loves to play!

 With a full belly and so much play time,
she decided to curl up on my foot to take a rest!

 

Roper has the most spunk of the bunch.

Has no fear and loves to explore!

 Peek -A- Boo! Yes, I need to mow the lawn

but I loved how you could barely see his eyes peeking over the grass!

He is so loving.. And has an endless supply of puppy kisses!

 If you kiss to him when you are holding him he will give you a kiss!

 

 

Cowboy likes to explore and is very curious!

He is trying to figure out what exactly a CAT is..

He is so cute with his fuzzy white face.. and has the cutest little personality.

Perfect amount of playful and cuddly!! He was the first pup to figure out 'tug' play

and likes to steal his moms toys! 

 

 

I hope you enjoy these pictures and video! I am NOT a photographer, but I try to get as much personality as I can so people can find the perfect border collie for them! They are such a huge part of our lives, we want to share them with you!!



4 WEEKS OLD..

ALL THIS & BRAINS TOO!!

 

I love this age.. Although they are hard to photograph, their teeth aren't too sharp yet..

they love exploring and are really coming into their own little personalities.

They wrestle each other and love to play.. Such a fun age, it only gets better from here!

 

PATCHES

Patches is coming out of her shell. She loves to play but is still on the mellow side of a border collie. She has a sweet personality and you can't help but fall in love with her!

Patches is an absolute sweetie! She is chocolate with white markings, has a full collar, four white socks, a darling split-face and a white tipped tail.

 She will have a gorgeous chocolate rough coat when she matures with beautiful hazel eyes!

 Patches loves to watch her parents catch the Frisbee.. She watches them go back and forth until it wears her out and she needs a nap.

 

COWBOY

Cowboy has the cutest personality and is full of love! He is pretty independent but seems to be the kids favorite because of his cute white face and he loves to be snuggled!

 Cowboy has  the perfect amount of playful & cuddly! He isn't a barker,

but he sure did not like his picture taken and let me know it!

Cowboy is a darling chunky cotton ball! He has a white face and full collar.

One brown ear, 4 white socks and a white tipped tail! He is chocolate in color and will have a beautiful thick rough coat like his parents

 

ROPER

Roper has a darling personality and  is the most playful out of the bunch. He loves people and adores children! He loves to explore, is always looking for attention and loves to snuggle. 

 Roper is mostly chocolate in color.. he has a little white dot on top of his head, he has four white socks, a partial collar and a white tipped tail. He is also rough coated and a little fluff ball!

 Right now his eyes are blue, but they will turn to a gorgeous hazel when he matures!

 Roper is giving puppy kisses to his mommy.. Such a sweetie!!

 He has darling unique markings,  we love his little lightning bolt or super hero S on his neck.



Puppy Play Time..

All day long is puppy play time for my kids! These puppies are going to be the most socialized puppies anywhere! They have been really LOVED on!!

 

 Patches is pretty mellow.. She likes to play and will wrestle with her brothers

but she is the first to quit and come over and snuggle in my lap!

Roper is the most playful! He is so friendly and LOVES people especially children. He will come out of the dog house when he hears us coming with his tail a wagging! This darling guy loves to wrestle with his brother & sister and usually is the one picking the fights!  

 

 Roper loves to give puppy kisses and snuggle.. he has a darling white lightning bolt if you will on his neck, I am wishing we would have nick named him BOLT!

 Now cowboy with his unique markings seems to be every one's favorite.. He is a chunky fluff ball! he loves attention and seems to really like kids.

We invite our neighbors and cousins over to play with the puppies. It helps them not only to be handled by different people, held different ways, I think it helps them to socialize and not to be afraid.. this bunch is so curious and playful it's no wonder the kids all come to visit!

 

Cowboy is always up for a good wrestle with his brother & sister and we will even hear him growl at them every once in awhile! Nothing cuter than puppy noises!!

 

My little man 'likes' the idea of the puppies.. But he seems to prefer their mama. She is so gentle with my kids.. Nothing better than a Border Collie for kids!!

It's easy to wear them out this young! Next best thing to playing with a border collie puppy is snuggling with a sleepy one!



3 WEEKS OLD..

This is when time begins to get away from me! The puppies eyes have opened. They're beginning to play and explore. They still sleep for the better part of the day, but they are so stinking cute! We can't get enough of them!

 

Cowboy

 Cowboy is a darling chunky cotton ball! He has a white face and full collar.

One brown ear, 4 white socks and a white tipped tail! He is chocolate in color and will have a beautiful thick rough coat like his parents.

He is playful & snugly.. He lets you know when he doesn't like something, like wearing a bandanna.. He likes to explore and wander the yard.. But not too far from mama yet.

 

Roper

 Roper is mostly chocolate in color.. he has a little white dot on top of his head, and a lightning strike white marking on his neck, we like to call it his super hero mark.. he has four white socks and a white tipped tail. He is also rough coated and a little fluff ball!

 Roper has the most spunk out of the puppies. He loves my daughter and perks right up at the sound of her voice. He wags his tail and seems to really like people! Likes to explore but love to snuggle in our cozy arms.

 

Patches

 Patches is an absolute sweetie! She is chocolate with white markings, has a full collar, four white socks, a darling split-face and a white tipped tail.

 Patches is our little princess.. Although she too likes to explore, she has a mellow personality and really just prefers to cuddle!  I am sure as she gets older her spunk will show.. but for now I will take the snuggles!

 All of the puppies are doing well!

It's really been warm here lately so they spend a lot of time in the cool grass with their mommy.
