Here’s an update on my pal Don’s new border collie puppy, Indy. This week, she’s 6 months old. And … man, is she cute.
If you need to catch up on Indy’s story, check out the tale of her trip home from California.
Otherwise, here’s about all you need to know … Indy is a very smart girl. I met her in person a couple weeks ago. She totally gets that the word “Ready” means fun stuff is going to happen between her and Don. She’s very alert, very attentive to his wishes. She’s also a darn good tugger, already.
This is her as a tiny one.

Her coloring is really something. I guess it’s called blue, but in person, it’s striking. And, she has the best smile. Super white teeth (mostly adult ones now).
Here she is with Hansen family teammate, Blip. He’s now 2 years old (I believe). Don’s wife Lori runs Blip, and he’s already doing incredibly well.
Gotta say, though, that I’m shocked to see them on an uncovered couch. (smirk) Usually, Don and Lori are pretty strict about throwing a sheet on to protect the furniture.
. It’s enough to give an already struggling team like me and Lilly a complex.</font></p>

I’m glad to help. Don’s strategy was amazing. He learned it from someone else, so it’s nice to pass it along. Congrats on the new baby. Sorry to hear about her origins, though. I’m glad she and her mommy got out of there.
Do send photos and update. I’m happy to post them for everyone to see.

Thanks for the update (and especially for the link to Indy’s homecoming adventure). It is quite timely – this Sat, I’m flying to pick up my new baby (a Cairn pup born to a just-rescued puppy mill Mom) and the flight will be long with a plane change. Don’s checklist of supplies and successful trip tale was quite welcome. Good luck to him and Indy, the new kid in town! Pam (and Charlie and Quincy, eagerly awaiting their new sister)
