Billy is now here with us in Florida. Thank you, Tracy, for this exceptional little guy!
6 YUMMMM! Dinner was good! Can I please have more?
7 Billy is all fresh and clean after his bath and brushing.
8 Come on, Daddy, come to the chair and snuggle with me!
9 APRIL, 2006. Bill is 4.5 months old. OH MY! What a mess! Bill has obviously spend a considerable amount of time in the frog pond and chasing the rat terriers. Full of mischief, he is!
10 Bill's handsome profile...yes, looking fondly towards the frog pond. We have noticed the frog population has dwindled down to NONE.
11 Bill is now 27.5 lbs and on his way to 45 lbs as an adult. Very sweet personality wrapped up in a mid-sized package!
12 SEPTEMBER 2006. BILLY at 10 months old. He is a rough-coated Border Collie and so he benefitted from a summer clip back in May. His coat is starting to grow out now and only his tail, left unclipped, shows its full length.
13 BILLY at 10 months old and coming at you. His ears have remained buttonfold and at best fall to the sides with a little downward tip. He's a very mellow-tempered, happy guy and gets along well with the ratties....although they frustrate him with their running, turning and chasing skills.

16 Frisbee time! Billy looks forward to his daily workout.
17 Billy is maturing into a mellow, happy boy.
18 Billy has the run of the front yard playing frisbee. He also collects pine cones, chases squirrels, and enjoys a splash in the frog pond.
19 It's a tight squeeze, getting into the laundry basket.
20 Hey boy!
Billy loves to ride the hay cart to the horses.

27 Where did that frizbee go?
28 "That'l Do" , Dad's finished, worn out, back to the house.
29 Oh boy, fresh chicken dinner ! Billy is captivated with all these chickens. I sort of think he is drooling too.
