Flash is our border collie, who came to us when he was about 7 months old. I thought it would be fun to record his progress as he becomes part of our family. We are working with trainer Rachel Amado and our first goal is to have Flash earn the Canine Good Citizen award. He is a very smart dog, as all border collies are. This is going to be an exciting experience for us as Flash will keep us on our toes. Stay tuned.

Flash loves the kittens
Flash accompanies me every morning and evening when I feed the kittens. He loves them, especially Bubba, who wraps himself around Flash's legs. The kittens are no longer afraid of the big dog and he no longer wants to chase them. The outdoor cats are another matter.

An Outing for Flash
This afternoon, we took Flash to Pine Valley for a hamburger and frosty. He got his own hamburger patty but had to share the French fries with us. I saved the last of my frosty for Flash...as far as we know, his first taste of ice cream. He loves ice cream, as do we all.

Flash and the Kittens
Flash goes into the kitten den every morning when I bring the food and let the kittens out of their crate. Bubba walks under Flash and bats at his legs while the other two kittens just skedaddle in opposite directions. Flash continues to be interested, but doesn't get aggressive, which is very, very good. He's mostly interested in their food.

Dog Meets Cat
Flash is such a sweet dog. I let him into the kitty playpen to see if he would try to eat the kittens--and he just laid down while the kittens investigated him. What a good doggie.

My Daddy's Back
Saturday evening Flash and I drove to town to pick up Dennis (Flash's Daddy), who had been on the East Coast for a week. I thought Flash would go crazy when he saw his Daddy, but he hung back a little as though he didn't remember him. That didn't last long.
