It's been a long time and there are both animal and life updates

The most important: in May we lost Ray. He was declining cognitively and his back was beginning to hurt more, so we decided to let him go. He would have been 14 in August.

In June we moved to NM with my boyfriend. Puck sadly stayed behind with my mom, since Gram is the most important person in his life and the move would have been entirely too stressful for him. The girls, the cats, Verraz, and I all moved. Fish tanks also stayed behind.

My boyfriend has a dog! He's a large German Shepherd named Gunner who will be 6 in October, so 6 months younger than Vega. The pack very quickly went from 4 to 2, back to 3 and it's been an adjustment for everyone.

No guarantees on posting regularly, but an update at least on the current crew I thought would be good.

Happy 10th birthday to Ray and Lassen's first litter, and therefore also to Vega's granddam! (The Lassie middle left). There are 6 pictured, but there were 8 in the litter

Happy 10th to Ray and Sally's second litter, Abe, Ainsley, Teddy, Angus, Cyrus, and Argyll

Enjoy some pictures of a couple of the boys! Ainsley produced an absolutely beautiful dog that I would love to use at some point named Hunter

the hiking-est dogs you ever did see

i think ray has the kindest looking face of any dog i've ever seen, is this just a universal collie thing? having the softest eyes imaginable?

I think it might be 🥺 he's just a kind old gentleman, never does anything wrong, often confused

#when you can see a collies eyes that is #so many have such teeny eyes #how can you see
