He was born March 26, so he's three months old now. Mrs. WI overruled me on Brinkley and chose Riley yesterday afternoon. The kids aren't crazy about it.

Maybe his resemblance to a sheep explains why I'm so damned fond of him.

Everything I've read to date indicates that collies are very easy to train so I'm gonna use the "I know how I want you to act, so I'm gonna try to teach you to act that way by rewarding you with snackies." approach. If that doesn't work...it's off to obedience school! ha ha

Life of Riley...that explains his future very accurately. The bunnies, however, are in for a rough time. lmao

Lixy brought up a good point about shortening his name though. My biggest concern was that they'd insist on something stupid, and everytime he escaped I'd be wandering the neighborhood hollering "Touche`" or "Romulus".

After seeing him attach the clean laundry basket this morning...his name might be PantyFanatic. Sorry Steph.

So...today it's Riley. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks all!
