This is our Border Collie, Wookie, all grown up. John picked his name, just in case you are wondering. He has been a wonderful addition to our family and is a great companion for our black lab-border collie mix Maggie, and also a great playmate for John. He is as gentle as he can be. And beautiful. Even though he has access to the yard 24/7, his fur is so smooth and silky - I’ve nicknamed him my ’silky boy’. He has rich brown expressive eyes, deep black fur with his white chest and feet, tip of tail, all clean and sparkly…except when he decides to go on a digging spree.
We have SO many holes in our backyard, thanks to him! You can see from his feet and his chest that some of his holes get pretty BIG! We’ve caught him with his whole head and front half of his body entrenched! We’ve tried filling the holes with rocks and soil, but he is determined. We’re lucky we don’t have much of a lawn out back, so he can keep up with his hobby without annoying us.
It’s ok, Wookie, we love you, you can keep digging away!
