There's a stockdog trial here in 2 weeks. Hopefully I'll be meeting up with Stella and LittleBoBoop. I haven't actually met up with anyone from the bc boards yet. should be interesting. The only person I've met from online is MisssAshby from chaz.
Erin, He's adorable! You're going to love when he gets older. I, too, prepared myself for the worst when I first got Blaze - not sleeping, teething like crazy, crying, just full of energy/too much energy. Blaze was none of those things, either. He was an awesome puppy - I hope that continues for you with Jude!
You're really going to have a blast. I love how versital my Border Collie is - Border Collies are awesome (but, as you can tell, I'm a bit baised. )
