He hasn't quite figured out that Arthur can't see him

It's been a while since I have posted anything on here, I've still been around scrolling and watching all of you and your adventures, but between kids and the rest of the farm, I haven't had the time or energy to take, let alone post, photos, or write up updates. Arthur and Morgan are still around and enjoying their golden years, Lady is still the greatest dog, I lost Kaylee to idiopathic epilepsy back in 2024, that one hit really hard, she was my heart dog and best friend.

Since then we have been talking about getting an English Setter. It's been almost 2 years of planning, and he finally came home yesterday!

Meet Fisher! His registered name is The Fisher King, and I've been calling him Fish. My plan is to hunt pheasant, and hopefully get over the mountains to find some chukar with him. He's already very birdy and really confident and solid for his young age. It's been fascinating getting to know his parents and now him and comparing them to the border collies. The energy and drive are still there, but it's so different.

I'm hoping to get back into posting more often. I won't guarantee anything, lol, but I'll try. I haven't gotten my camera out in almost a year, having a toddler again doesn't help.

I want to call a future dog (possibly even the next one) Nimue. But I would be dooming myself to having to tell people how to pronounce it every single day.

Maybe I would just spell it like it sounds anywhere that needed her name (vet, trials, classes, kennel, etc).

I absolutely love it as a name! Though to be fair on my end I've never called her by Nimue, it's always Nim, Bim, Bimbo, or Neem. But I do sometimes have to explain it to the vet when I call, since they have her full name in their system. Thankfully she's the only Nimue with my last name and my first name is very unique so they usually know who I'm talking about pretty quickly, even if I just say it's for Nim.

#this is probably the first post I've interacted with in years on this site #🤣#I never left #just went quiet #though I love that I named Nimue that #it's a great name with no shortage of nicknames #I say do it #Nim #border Collie #farm dog

Any dog under 100 pounds is a “little dog” to me. i will take no further questions

blueboyluca

if your dog is >10kg it’s big sorry i don’t make the rules

doomspaniels

Large and small are a state of mind determined by the dog. I’m not going to argue with an 11kg cocker spaniel who thinks he’s larger than a horse.

#for real #35-40lb kaylee and morgan #fully believe that they are just as big #if not bigger #than 120lb 10month old lady #and lady think she is the same size as my aunts frenchie #They're perception of how big they are is almost perfectly swapped

it ain't easy being a funny little guy named after a character in a book that explores the grey areas of murder and other atrocities <3

The snow finally melted and temps are above freezing again thankfully. Though that also brings back the rain, and quite a lot of it, so we are back to spending as little time outside as is possible.

#arthur wigglebutts #kaylee #border collie #Australian shepherd #dogblr #ill take the rain over having to deal with frozen waters every 2 hours #though the flooding has returned to the farmlands

#we love the snow #it should last at a few more days #we just got 7 more inches last night #arthur wigglebutts #morgan #kaylee #lady #border collie #anatolian shepherd #dogblr

A perfect litter of border collies

#but a terrible litter of dutch rabbits...#markings wise #they're all super healthy and cute #but every single one has multiple mismarks #this one is the best off the 6 #but it has white strips in both eare #i wish it didnt matter #im not a fan of judging by color or markings #where the slightest mismark is a dq #but i do love the dutch #these guys will make wonderful pets #they are almost 2 weeks old

It may be single digits here for the first time in my life, but most of us are having fun!

#kaylee #border collie #dogblr #it was 8 degrees this morning #ive experienced this cold before #just not at home in western washington #eveyone is doing just fine #the rabbit water bowls are the worst to manage #knocking ice out 4 times a day #everyone elses buckets can be chopped with a pickaxe

#i feel like this is an extremely accurate depiction of the bcs #Morgan is the one guarding the apple #while kaylee ignores every twitch of the lips and tries to take it #all the while Arthur just walks right into Morgan #completely oblivious #then the other two leave to play #until they decide its time yo try again #im pretty sure ive watched this exact exchange in the last week

We drove up into the mountains yesterday to play in the snow and find our Christmas tree. This was our first time up this specific forest service road, and it was absolutely beautiful! It's just across the highway from the more well traveled road that we usually venture up, and it was a much smoother ride, with even more breathtaking views.

#arthur wigglebutts #morgan #kaylee #border collie #dogblr #the dogs havent been off property for a while #and it showed #for the first 10 minutes in the woods the girls just ping ponged all over #recall was shit #arthur was perfect #as always #once they got their initial zoomies out their recall came back #and there was no more thinking of running straight off the cliff

This post is exclusively for dog owners. Is your bedroom door opened, closed or something else? Is the dog inside or outside the room and where are they sleeping

arthurwigglebutts

Our bedroom door is almost always open. The dogs mostly sleep spread around the room, Kaylee and Morgan will rotate between the floor and the couch or chair in the living room throughout the night. The cats will claw the carpet if they are ever locked in or out of the room, so they are pretty much allowed to be wherever, Lancer almost always sleeps between our feet, sometimes accompanied by Fiona or Leo.
