Puppies never stay the little cute and extra adorable happy to be still and cuddled on your lap for very long do they? On the drive back to my place after the breeder handed this 7 week old puppy, a Blue Merle Border Collie to my son, I got to cuddle him lots because I sat in the back seat. Going along for the ride was truly worth it.
Look at this gorgeous little puppy dog now, who loves walking, running, meeting and socialising with people and other dogs. He is called Onyx and thriving in every way. On Saturday afternoon one week ago I was glad I walked with my son and Onyx. It was simply delightful watching beach goers smile and laugh at this little blue merle puppy. His unusual patterned colours, happiness and cocky prancing made him stand out. An endless stream of people kept coming up and chatting to my son about Onyx, many of whom were very surprised when told he was a border collie.
Blue Merle Border Collies are definitely not common like the black and white Border Collies are. Blue Merles are a mixture of colours, black, grey and white with pinkish noses. Onyx's mother is a Blue Merle Border Collie and his father is a Red and White Border Collie. Blue Merles can be mistaken for the multi coloured patterned Australian Shepherds at a first glance, but Aussie Shepards are bigger heavier dogs and a very different breed.
When Onyx was a little furry puppy, black, grey and white were his 3 prominent colours. But, as he has grown older the fourth colour, the red from his father is coming through more and more on his face and the on inside of his back legs.
This very loved little multi-coloured blue merle that has a very easy going temperament is having the best life a puppy could have. The owners are loving, gentle and firm as puppies show so much love as they explore and push boundaries. And of course like all dogs who love swimming in rivers and the ocean, and running in the water on the beach, they are never happy being washed off with the hose.
Hi Angie, what a nice post this is! You can post in THE WEEKEND community and day of the week, the content just has to be weekend related. 😁
I love the weekend, it is a love that continues into retirement.
Sending the loveliest of wishes.🌸Phew, thank you for this @galenkp. I can get the wrong end of the stick now and then.
No worries...If it's weekend content aim happy to see it anytime! It helps me feel closer to the weekend during the working week to read such content. 😁
I know what you mean, the good thing is that the working days go quickly when extra busy. I do wonder why however that I feel my days with writing when I could be more carefree with leisurely pursuits like reading, meditation and walking.😋
I love seeing all the pups you and your family have Angie :)
