Even though this beautiful lilac girl was not mine she definitely felt like it and still holds a very special place in my heart.

Jess was the full sister to Jasper and Ruby and would have been the aunty to Cria who is Ruby's daughter. Jess loved chasing the hose, chasing rabbits, playing with toys and beautiful walks with her family. I'm very lucky to have had so many wonderful times and memories with her ones that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I will never forget her silly expressions and her little white spot on her bum.

Even though she is no longer with us she is always here keeping her family safe.

Jasper is my own drop dead stunning 4y Chocolate Border Collie. He is a whizz kid at agility and tries is best to help on my farm ( finds rabbits instead of helping to herd the cows). Jasper is the full brother to Jess and Ruby and the uncle to Cria who is Ruby's daughter. Because I'm a groomer Jasper is used to everything I could possibly do, as I started grooming him at 8 weeks old, bathing, scissor shaping even dyeing. Jasper's favourite things are swimming, butt scratches, agility and fetch though he doesn't give the ball back very well.

This dog is my best friend, my soul mate, my whole world, and I will love him today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Ruby, Ruby Dooby Do, Roo, Ruby Booby, this fun, smart, blue, fluffy little mamma is the full sister to Jasper and Jess and is the mother of Cria. Ruby lives with her non related brother Sam who is a Tri lilac Merle Border Collie and her lilac daughter Lily who is Crias sister.

Ruby is the fastest Collie I have ever seen and so beautifully stream lined, she always wins the family collie races when we go on walkies together. She is a pro at fetch so much so that if it was in the Olympics she would win gold every time. I love Roo so very much along with her brother Sam and daughter Lily, they are just the definition of a perfect family.

I don't even know where to begin telling Cria's story so I'll do my best to keep it short. This little love of my life was born weighing only 220g when all 6 of her siblings were 400g. I was looking after them for their first 3 weeks of life. I stayed up all night for the fist few nights keeping Cria alive by bottle feeding her and keeping her warm by using my socks as coats. She was so unsteady and would spin and fall over all the time, I told myself not to get attached but as you can guess that did not work. She slowly improved, a bit wobbly and small but is perfectly fine now and is with her new mum along with her new name Molly.

I will never forget this little girl and she will forever hold a very special place in my heart.
