It’s a Girl!

Meet the newest member of the Moore family, little miss Queen Esther “Star.” She is 7 lbs. 2 oz. of fuzzy border collie joy. You can see in the pictures below where she gets her name. We are in love with our little Star!

Star and Jackson are already getting along quite well. They are learning to share.

    What a doll baby! I felt like you wouldn’t be puppy-less for long.

    Different subject, I dreamed about San Antonio all stinkin’ night! You had a rockin’ 80’s perm. I got to sit next to you but I forgot my Bible so I worked continuously throughout the evening to make sure you didn’t realize I didn’t have one.

    Wonder what Freud would say about that! LOL

    Dear Moore’s: Star is so beautiful and I pray she will bring y’all lots of joy and laughter. Border collies are so smart and full of energy. (Sorta like Beth…) We love them in our family.

    If Keith wants her to practice her herding skills, bring her out to our farm “Double M Ranch,” here in Middle Georgia and she can herd up the black angus cows…

    Or she could just play with my German short-haired pointer, “Otis.”

    Congratulations…I felt as if it wouldn’t be long.

    She’s a cutie that’s for sure! However, I think she needs a siesta!!!! It’s just as easy to train two as it is to train one!
    I hope you’ll show her off in your next video for us doing “Do Other God”. I just love puppies…I even love puppy breath!! Woof…Woof to you and your!

    isn’t it neat to think, when she was still in her mommy’s tummy, God knew SHE was going to be your sweet baby to love soon…

    Get some sheep,more Grandbabies, Sunday school children, Something to keep her busy or you’ll discover a new meaning to the word EXERCISE! And you’ll find yourself saying “WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE CHASING NOW” a lot! PRASIE GOD! He binds the broken hearted and is the best exercise instructor I know!!!!

    fuzzytop says:

    Hi Beth!! I just had to jump back on and tell you this…

    I told my husband about your new puppy, and he said “…well, does she know that border collies are the pharisees of dogs???” And he’s right!!! They are smart, and will follow the rules to the letter, not necessarily with a pure heart. We had a good laugh about it!

    Hope Star is settling in; I’m sure she is getting lots of love and attention.

    Hugs,
    Adrienne

    She is BEEEYOOOOUUUUUTIIIFULLL! You couldn’t have picked a better breed for the two of you. Border Collies are such lovers, but they also live to work and please their people. It will be awesome to see all the things that y’all learn together and have that, in turn, imparted to all of us. Enjoy your baby…I’m so happy for you!

    My Chris’ said that his professor at A&M, Dr. Coppinger, gave some good advice about Border Collies. He said, “You have to be quick to train them or they’ll train you.”

    Happy Fourth to you all!
    Love,

    p.s. the picture of Jackson in Star’s pink bed, being curiously sniffed out and discoverd by Star, made me think of Baby Bear in Goldilocks…”..and someones been sleeping in my bed and he is Still Right Here!!!”

    May she bring as much happiness to your household as your two blessed dogs did! Hopefully, she won’t chew things and be easily trained. I’m so happy for you both!

    Congratulations Beth on your new “Star.”

    My best friend (and she’s in heaven now) was “Lady,” a border collie. She had all the natural herding instincts and when I lived in the back 40 trailer of a cattle rancher, they would let me bring the cattle in at night so that Lady could have her fun…and she so enjoyed it and I loved working with her…she was beauty in motion.

    She had her weaknesses though. She had epilepsy and had to take medication twice a day. Also, during the 4th of July week she would tear through screen doors and bend wire cages to get away, or to get to me. Lightening and booming sounds would trigger an episode and she would be so very frightened. Several times she ran away in confusion and panic.

    My small son would cry because she was missing. My son, my husband and I would snuggle up and ask Jesus to bring her back…and He always did.

    She lived a long and good life.

    Keep your Star with you as much as possible, because you are her “sheep” and she will love and guard you all her days.

    Again, Congratulations!

    Our family is so excited for you! That is going to be one spoiled pooch. She is absolutely adorable.

    My daughter was concerned as to why Jackson was in the cage. She had to run out and tell her brother as well. Very cute.

    Have fun,
    April

    Oh! Bless your heart! A baby in the house again! I will be PRAYING for you for these next few months because I remember all too clearly the “adventures” that go along with those new babies! AFter losing our beloved dog of 14 years, we too had a new baby in the house exactly this time last summer. A year later, MOST of the house is still standing, I’ve said goodbye to a few pair of shoes (I didn’t really need them I suppose!), and we are still hopelessly and forever in LOVE with our little Oscar! Best wishes and happy training!

    I am so happy that you guys went ahead and brought a new baby into your family! What an awesome way to honor Sunny and Beanie!
    Little Miss Queen Esther Star looks at home in your arms, Beth. Must be a God thing! Don’t you love that He cares even about bringing puppies into our lives?!
    Enjoy her and we all look forward to enjoying her as much as we did your other babies.

    Oh my gosh! I am so jealous (in a good way). We had a border collie – my beloved Wilson who just recently passed away right about when Sunny did. He was honestly the BEST dog I have ever had! You will love having a border collie – they are so smart and a lot of fun!! You will be amazed at what you will be able to teach her to do. And, I think I can say with a lot of confidence that you will not have to chase her like you did Sunny. Our border collie never needed a leash or a fenced yard. Couldn’t chase him away with a stick! Have fun with Miss Star – love that name! πŸ˜‰

    We have a Border Collie. At 9 years old, he is the coolest dog, but talk about issues – at least he’s the only one in the family with OCD! I guess it’s appropriate that we named him “Fitzgerald” after my favorite author, F. Scott – didn’t he go insane at the end?
