Dignity`s Occasional Love

The youngest addition here is Dignity's Occasional Love, born and bred here with me. She is diagnosed cea go normal at 7 weeks. Her daily name will be Joy, very amptly named I would say as she is nothing but joy.
 
I was determined to sell all the pups from this litter, but Joy decided differently. She knew how to twist my fingers and heart, and that was what happened. She herself decided she wanted to stay with mum. As the other puppies left home, I shall admit it was a relief that Joy would stay as it became ever so quiet here when they'd gone.
Joy is now being taught how to wear a collar, do her walkies on a lead and how to do her business outside. She's ever so clever. Of course, there has been a couple of "accidents" inside as mum has been out showing her father and has not returned in time. But that is to be expected from a little baby. I do indeed look forward to see her grow and develop, and I hope to take her to some puppy shows. They are quite few, and it would have been lovely to be able to take part on a couple of them. At least, this baby is willing to learn, and she's quick about it. She is on the alert all the time, and she is indeed a happy and loving puppy. It looks as she got the soft stable temperament from er dad and the alertness and speed from her mum.It's wonderful for me to watch her. You are most welcome to look into her site every now and then to see her growing and developing. To me it's lovely to see how puppies are making progress, and Joy's site will constantly be updated along with the other sites.
  

Joy`s photogallery

Here some photos are presented of Joy who now is nearly 12 weeks old, and she is growing rapidly. She is very good on her little walks on the lead, and she does appreciate everyone that want to play with her. Uncle Bono is very handy for that. Now she has got a bigger "little sister" here at home, and these two are partners in crime. Joy is running like mad around all the furnitures with Melanie following close behind. It's pretty lively here these days. Both of them loves their walks, so mum has to put her raingear on and get out.

Dishwasher Joy; I'm helping mum and she will not need this dishwashing machine as long as she's got me.

Joy and her half-brother Lucas (same sire) or pedigree name, TellMe Eager To Please. Lucas do think he is above me - but that is what HE thinks

Cosy time on the lap of Marita's mum.  

Hi Sira, you're very sweet - but a funny looking collie........Joy and uncle Bono playing

I'm pretty elegant I think. Mum is very proud of my neck

Joy is growing and since last update she is considerable bigger and beautiful. She has been busy developing and dressing up in a new coat. She will make her debut in the ring during spring 2010, and I have to admit I do keep high hopes for this little extrovert lady. I love her to bits.

Joy has moved on and become a big girl now and has started her showing career already been awarded a res.CC on her second outing. Unfortunately, at the moment she is comletely out of coat and I'll come back with some updated photos. but I have a few here I would like to present.

Joy at an age of 12 months enjoying the winter we had too much of this winter. She loved playing in the snow.

This young girl is so full of herself, and I love her to bits.

Finally, mum has realized that I need a bigger bowl.

As photo above shows Joy has thrown away her dress for the summer, and in no way I was able to show her since April. Joy is Tramp's daughter, and I think the world of her. Here are some updated photos of darling Joy.
