Hey everyone. This is my officialish notice that I've Gone and Done a Silly Thing.
Took Misha to her breeder's to play with mom and dad and the rest of the gang last week. While I was there, I made the mistake of meeting three 4-week-old puppies...and suddenly found myself agreeing to take one of them home next month, when he's old enough.
This is Malcolm:

So yes...I'll be raising a young puppy. Housebreaking, playing, shots, and whatever I have to do to help Misha adapt (she's still young, so I'm hoping this point will not be too terrible).
The good thing is that once the babies are used to each other, I will have two border collies that now have each other, instead of me, to vent their excess energy on.
The bad thing is that for a few weeks at least, Malcolm is going to cost me some of my precious computer time. I should still be able to write, but there may be a decline in the frequency, quality, and length of my posts. I realize this last may be a relief to those of you who read every word everyone writes. :P
