As eventually happens to every devoted parent, Blue Heeler's child has grown up and left the nest. Despite the perceptions of John Q. Public, Trace is not a Springer Spaniel mix. He is a Border Collie. Every gene in his little squirming body screams

"Young Jedi, You are Border Collie!"

So young Trace has aligned himself with Border Collie. He follows Lily everywhere. To a Kindergarten-Border-Collie Lily has the cool life of a Jedi-Border-Collie. And it sings to his genes.

So he follows her . . .

. . . everywhere.

Is Ranger upset that Trace has grown up

and moved out of the nest?

Not really.

I think keeping up with The Crocodile Hunter was pretty exhausting work.

(I can certainly relate!)

I can't over how quickly he has grown into a young, teen-age Jedi. Look at those long, BC legs! I'm glad Ranger isn't taking it too hard. :)

The gangly stage has hit! That's an interesting dark patch on Trace's tail.

Yes, the gangly stage HAS HIT! He's all legs and tail now. Trace's puppy coat is coming out and his dark brown undercoat is peeking through!

Yep, he sure is growing, this next stage is going to be the mud does NOT come off after running around the farm, it waits until he is dry and lying on the floor in the house, then it slithers off his body and leaves little piles of sand and fine ground dirt everywhere. But he sure is going to be one lovely boy when he grows up.
