Blue ( a.k.a Blue The Collie )

Blue has now been rehomed !!

progress update: 5th Dec 09

He has settled in very well and is a lovely dog, he likes to play with toys and has two walks a day.
He’s lost his fear of men already and I can pick him up and sit him on my lap in the chair and he sprawls out so you can rub his chest.
He adores mum and sleeps on the bottom of her bed every night. If she’s not awake by 7ish he lies on her head and licks her ears! He likes to run around trying to bite his tail too!
We have no problems with him at all.

Blue will be going to his new home later this week!!

I have been looking at pictures of Blue Merle Collies this morning and I think Blue is by far the most handsome even with his odd coloured eyes!
He is settling in quite well, no more indoor incidents!
For a Collie he is quite calm and will get in his bed or the crate and sleep well after a walk. I thought when he arrived he would want three walks a day and still have energy but he is satisfied after one reasonable walk and a tear around the garden. He has cut down his circling of the coffee table as he is becoming more comfortable.
Unfortunately he is nervous around Mark and barks at him. We know he has been badly treated in the past so he does react to sudden movements or strange noises but recovers quickly. He seems to want to trust Mark but he needs a bit more time to get used to him and understand he is no threat.
Like most dogs he loves cuddles and attention. He keeps trying to lick my neck, I’m not keen on it though! He enjoys being combed. He has decided that his favourite toy is a plastic dog bowl, he bounces round the garden with it in his mouth. He also loves rolling around on the lawn, even when it is wet! Thankfully the good weather has meant the back door can stay open and he can enjoy the freedom of the garden when he chooses.

Blue is quite sweet natured, surprisingly he’s a bit timid around Mark.
He has been repeatedly circling the coffee table, he does this when he’s thinking.
Took him for a long walk yesterday which wore him out.
He was a bit stiff this morning!
He’s tried to cock his leg indoors a couple of times even though he is generally clean.
