She's coming home with me tomorrow and still doesn't have a name! Normally I name pets with names from fantasy franchises or nature inspired names, but I'm really not sure with her. The top contenders at the moment are Arrow, Coral and Fern but that's probably going to change tomorrow. How did you come up with your pup's name?
I'm about to adopt a 9 week old rescue border collie. Right now she's just this tiny bundle of fluff trying to eat everything she can from the floor, but I have big ambitions that one day she'll be my companion for canine sports and sniff work. I grew up with working dogs including a collie mix, and have cared for working dogs as an adult, but this will be my first pure (assumed) border collie and first puppy! I'm a little nervous about how she'll change my life but also excited to bring her home (especially for once she can be home alone and sleep through the night). I'd love some advice from experience border collie puppy raisers, what should I know beyond the basic puppy advice?
