You always know people are manipulating the story when they start a sentence with "So what happened was..."
But I'll start at the beginning. First off, JML is addicted to border collies, if there's a BC anonymous somewhere please let me know. Anyway, last week JML needed us to go to Belle Fourche for some parts. Conveniently at a "near by" ranch there were some pups JML had been researching online, and guess what, they were expecting us to stop by and check them out..."just a little peek" he says. So we looked and we left, "yes dear, nice dogs, we don't need another" I say.
But yesterday he needed to go back to Belle to deposit a check at the bank...hmmm, I wonder why one needs an empty kennel in the back of the pickup to go to the bank?
"So what happened was," he says " I was in town just to deposit that check but I thought I'd just swing in and take another look... it was just to good a pup to pass up... you should have seen her parents work..."
So here she is, the newest member of our working team, Wick.
We got her name from the Yorkshire word "wick" meaning "lively".
At this point she was a bit too wiggly to get a good photo.
I can't say I'm disappointed she is a great pup. She's 5 months old and her parents are incredible working dogs from very good lines. I think she will be a great asset to our operation and hopefully she'll be providing some good pups of her own down the road. Maybe you'll even see JML taking her to trial :)

My hubbies sister is also a border collie fanatic and her dogs are getting up in age. But she sure swears by them! I would love to see JML taking her to trials;)
At least your husband is breed specific. A couple years ago they were giving away puppies (border collie/sheltie) at the parts store, and guess who got one. Then, less then a year later he brought one home from the bank. This one looked like all border collie, but turned out to be half Great Pyrenees. I could go on...
