My Bluesy! 🥰🥰
Today's all about Blue. He arrived with us nearly two years to the day, the terrified wee scrap of a thing.
Those of you who have followed us for a while will know about Blue. The little soul who arrived here, petrified of the world, a bite history and generally a total effing mess. He put all his trust into me and me only.
He is still only mine, he just doesn't care about anyone else, he keeps his eyes firmly on me! No drama whatsoever around other people any more but he's unlikely to even acknowledge their existence. He's a mammy's boy.
These days he is well settled, has his day run for when we are working and his bed indoors for overnight. He loves a good run with all our dogs but most of all he loves a good run with the sheep.
Blues biggest issue now is his eyesight. His parents likely were both Merle collies. His eyesight is awful, in bright sunlight and dull days. Over the winter we have him snuggled into bed early as he struggles with the head torches and is basically entirely blind in the dark. This means he can only work on the sheep on certain days as if it's too dull or too bright he can't see them. Today was a perfect day for him and I already had the sheep in the pen for the other young dogs so everything was lined up.
I LOVE working Blue, he has to listen so carefully to allow for his weak eyesight and he trusts me to keep him right. We have such a strong relationship.
