Happy 7th Birthday Olive!

I was told that Olive was born August 1, 2011. That makes her seven years old today. Unfortunately I have a routine medical procedure tomorrow and have to go without eating and do some prep work today. That limits what I can do with Olive for her birthday. It's raining today so I cannot even take her to the dog park😖

Oh, Well. Happy birthday Olive.

Big news from Meadowcroft Farm (where Olive was born)

Olive is an auntie!

As stated before, Olive's mother Jenny is too old to have more litters, and her father Oliver died a bit over a year ago. A new border collie named Selkie is the new breeding dog while Olive's brother Gilly is the new stud dog. Does that make Selkie Olive's sister-in-law?

Olive had a play date with Selkie during our recent trip to Maine. The two seemed to get along.

In any event, Selkie recently had a litter. Below is a photo. Interesting how the newly born border collies resemble guinea pigs, but border collies they are and Olive is a proud aunt. I do hope to make a trip to Maine sometime soon (perhaps with Olive if Nanne ok's it) to meet the new members of Olive's extended family.
