Seeker catches a family!

Well we did it. Today, Danny, convinced me that it would be okay for us to get a 3rd and FINAL dog. Here is the new little guy with Danny.


It was love at first sight.

The search for another possible Frisbee dog has been doing on for a couple of months now. We had pretty specific requirements on what we were looking for. Male, Border Collie or Border Collie Ausie Mix, Smooth Coat, Tri-Colored or Red and White. What we ended up with is a Male, Border Collie, Smooth Coat, Tri-Colored 3 Month old puppy. We named him Seeker (name is from Harry Potter, from Quidditch -- a seeker is the best flyer on a team and responsible for catching things that move very fast).

Here is a picture of Christina Curtis with Seeker. She does a lot of dog rescue work and is the one that found this dog, and we adopted him from her. Many, many people having gotten their dogs and disc dogs from Christina -- we call her a puppy pusher ;-).




He has been such a sweetie so far today. He got to ride on Danny's lap on the way home from Kokomo, this will be his ONE trip in the car when he is not crated. He was sleeping or happy the whole way. No whining at all.

We took him over to Grandma and Grandpa Egg's house to say hello and meet up with their dog Wrigley. They had a great time playing. In fact Seeker was getting pretty good at grabbing hold of the hair on Wrigley's tail and holding on until it would pull out.

While we were there Sydney and Seeker started to interact.




Seeker is extremely tolerant of Sydney so far. In the picture below Sydney was actually trying to pick Seeker up. Seeker just laid there and let her.



Seeker actually limped some today, but not because of Sydney. After we had been at Grandma and Grandpa's for a while he jumped and bit something off of his leg. A honeybee had stung him. He seems fine, but I think his leg is a bit sore from where the bee got him.

Since we have been home he has been very good. In fact he is laying here asleep next to Danny on the floor. He has been following him everywhere. Which as you can guess -- makes Dannys day!
