Little Kollie Moen-Border Collie Pup

Here I am all starry-eyed and full in love with our newest family member, Kollie. My husband and I had been wanting a new Border Collie after Decker our dog died. We began looking at pictures of Border Collies and some ads. Then one day...
We ended up at the Market Grill Livestock Auction in Cedar City to buy another llama. There were no llamas. There were just goats and sheep. A man asked me what I was looking for and he and another man said they had a llama for sale at his ranch. I asked a few questions about the goats and one thing lead to another when one of them grabbed my left elbow and escorted me and my husband insisting,"You got to see this puppy I got."
We let ourselves be lead to a long stock trailer with 3 large goats in the back. A galvanized clasp and heavy chain clanked along the sides of the trailer. A side door opened and the man reached out to grab a tiny Border Collie puppy! She was 4.6 lbs and 6 weeks old. Once I held my arms out to hold her I was hooked and so was my husband, Paul. He handed the man $50 and she was ours, a gift from our dreams.



Lakota our llama meets his new sister, Kollie.

 We took her right on over to the vet for shots and worming after watching the auction. And then Miss Kollie met with all the others members of the family. Here she is meeting Lakota one of our llama herd.

Wind Walker and Windy our Australian Shepherds took well to Kollie. Windy took on a mother role and Wind Walker is like a dad or big brother. Kollie was like having a newborn baby and we took her out every hour during day and night  to potty train her. Paul and I took turns during the night. there were days I was so tired from losing that little bit of sleep. It wasn't long before she slept for about 2-3 hours at a time. In a few more weeks about 3 months old, she began sleeping through most of the night. And soon after that she was jumping up at the back door to go out. Kollie learned quickly.
