What a lovely ending, I hope she learns to play quickly, it sounds as if she has fallen on her feet. I remember seeing our Cocker Spaniel for the first time, she had been born the day before we saw her and we had waited over six months for her as we wanted a tricolour. I hope you have as much fun with her as we did with Debbie, the eight weeks waiting to bring her home were the longest ever but she was so worth it.

Welcome home Mollie

Just a little update and thanking you for your kind interest!

We have just brought our little girl home about two hours ago. She seems remarkably settled in such a short time. She is relieving herself outside and enjoying her hide chew (already almost devoured a huge one, she seems to be a chewer). My daughter said to remove it since too many might be bad for her, I just thought if it helped to relieve her anxiety then it might not be a bad thing the first day or two.

She is sitting quietly in the utility room with her bed. Doesn't have much interest in toys yet or even seem to know what a ball is. We had been told not to take her for a walk, other than the garden, but I just couldn't resist walking on into the field next to our home as she was so wanting to. She loved her first walk! Two happy girls tonight! :-D :-D <3

Thank you Lavender:)

Love the name of Mollie:)
Let us all know how she settles in:)

jude :-D

Sounds very nice Lavender, ;-) Mollie (Malone) :-D :-D ;-)

We have settled on Mollie for our little darling, it seems to suit her so well.

Thanking your all for your kind suggestions, maybe she should have several! :-D :-D

I'm sorry If Ive black marked the border collies........so sorry, all I meant was, that in our case, Megan.......she must be an exception..... not a player type dog...... now herding...... thats something she IS positive about!! LOL

How lovely !!! Getting a new dog is always so exciting....it's amazing how quickly they become part of the family.

Whatever you call her I wish you lots of joy with her.

Please keep us updated x

(My collie Fleur will chase and fetch a ball all day long if she can !! In between trying to herd the chickens up of course lol) x

Have a pm sitting in my drafts box, Jude. It refuses to leave me! I shall try again later, or tomorrow. x

The Blue Merle are very beautiful, Bobtanian, thanks for sharing that. I hadn't seen one before as far as I remember.

Thank you all. I have been back, my husbands thinks her acceptable! My daughter and I have spent such an enjoyable afternoon choosing bedding and all the necessary bits and bobs. Have yet to find out when I can bring her home but will be around Thursday next. Tomorrow I go to the Adoption Class. She almost seem to remember me (or was it the little treats hidden in my pocket). She didn't seem to know what to do with a ball but quickly learned.

There was some debate about fencing which is a controversial area on a farm!

Bob, I have to disagree, our border collie was a fantastic fetcher and retriever of sticks and balls etc@@@ She was called Tess. My favourite all time dog's name. We also had a Cleo at the time.

We have 4 bitches now. In order of age and seniority they are:
Tia (black like Tia Maria)
Mabel (she looks like my great aunt Mabel, lol)
Bella (named by her former owner)
Poppy (because we kept calling her puppy)

Across the road they are called Molly and Indie. Up the road they are called Twiglet and Bronte.

Lavender...

Thank you all so much, I was having trouble getting back on to the site last night. :-) :-)

She doesn't have a name that she recognises Ann, otherwise that would certainly have been a good idea not to confuse her. She came in from Ireland with no history which is a shame. I am wondering what I am going to get, expecting not toilet trained ? That doesn't worry me as I have a utility room with a hard floor. We are just finishing sorting the fencing which is a problem in a large garden, initially they are just wanting a play area of 12' which is achievable in a short space of time. We have also done more extensive work to the front.

Am going to visit at 12.00pm., am terribly excited and have risen early to get my jobs done!

Thank you, Merlin for your sense of humour :-D :-D ;-)

Thanking you all for taking the time to write with suggestions.

Grannie of 12, surprisingly we already have a Betty and my daughter calls her Boo Boo as a pet name! :-D :-D :-D

How exciting for you, just love dogs and cats and would love more:)
We have Madoc..he's a white & black lab x pointer......hows about......

My Rough Collie girls were called Angel and Melody

I never knew the proper names for my two dogs.

The RSPCA were using the letter M the week they took in my two and they called them Muffin and Milly. Because they only had the names for a couple of weeks I decided to change them.

Got a lot of lovely suggestions for names on the thread
