I've been allowing these two to get to know one another gradually. Timothy has been so gentle with Baylon, it's wonderful to watch. He'll gingerly accept a Cheerio from her small extended hand.
Our whole family has come together as one complete happy unit. I can't wait for each new day to begin, and feel so Blessed to awaken each day with all that I have to look forward too.
Pirate is back on track with his training, and soon, we'll begin with Chelsea as well. Pirate is doing Obedience.... and Agility, and if this weather EVER breaks, we'll be back Sheep Herding as well.
We're even going to head back into the Show Ring in a couple of weeks. We are going to Special Pirate here and there, just to keep him ring savvy. He won't be truly competitive till he matures a bit, as he's still a baby at just 2 yrs. 4 months..... Briards mature slowly, and can fill out till they are three, sometimes four years old.
His true color still hasn't appeared as of yet. His half brothers are a couple of months older than he is, and they are just starting to change. Tawny's can go through various color changes in their early years. I can see red roots on Pirate, which I love....... hopefully I'm not just seeing things.
We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09
