Yesterday we got our new puppy! Her name is Daisy, and she is a border collie. We think she is between 6 and 8 weeks old. She came to us from a shepherd with whom the farm does business. I am hoping that she has some herding instincts so that maybe I could learn to work dogs with sheep or even cattle. Daisy and Kota are already getting along pretty well. They both slept in the laundry room last night without any major problems. Daisy is adorably and loves to be cuddled and held by people. Thankfully, Julie had the day off today, and I think she held that puppy almost all day. Daisy has already latched onto her. I was hoping to update my Flick'r account with some pictures, but I seems to be down right now. I guess I will have to post a few here now.

Kota is still my buddy. I didn't have to drive too much for work today, so he got to spend the whole day with me. That was fun. He is really getting excited about digging in gopher holes, and he falls asleep at my feet every night while Julie and I watch tv.
