Normandy Update

It has been six days since Normandy came to live with our pack.  At first I didn't know what to think.  When he came near me, I would get up and walk away.  Norm would follow me around the yard, like my shadow.  I didn't growl at Norm and he was definitely interested getting to know me.

12 July - Norm Sleeping On Dad's Foot

13 July, Dad catches Norm under the dresser and later the bed.  If Dad doesn't see Norm around he'll look under the bed.  14 July Norm's persistence has paid off and I have stopped moving away from him.  When Dad took Norm outside, he would try to dash inside to the comfort of the A/C.  Norm is the only collie that tries to dash back into the house for the A/C and to go under the bed.  Dad said he is a bunker collie.

14 July, we are sharing the dog bed. Dad is happy that I've softened to Norm.  He pays attention to both of us.

15 July - Norm The Bunker Collie Under The Bed

16 July, I try to play with Norm, but he scurries back to Dad.  He isn't sure how to take my barking, play bow and dashing around the yard.  The next day he is more cooperative and today he chased me around the yard some.  Dad smiles just like he did when Sherman and I chased in the yard with each other.  The following two days we play in the yard some together.

18 July - Collies At Rest

We got a note and pawtographs from Sir Oliver.  Uncle Sherman told me about Sir Oliver visiting many dog moons ago back in 2013. Sherman and Sir Oliver played with each other quite a bit that day.  I sure hope Sir Oliver can visit some day.  All of us love having other collies visit us.
