Barley man - almost a year old!

Can't believe how fast it flew by. Seems like yesterday we had a fluff ball running around our house. Though it's bittersweet, I have to say it's also nice to have them grow up and become a little more mature.

Barley is doing great, getting along well with everyone including our cat (finally!). They will actually hang out now and chase each other every once in a while so that's really cute to see. He loves everyone he meets, dog or human alike. There's no "reserved Sheltie temperament" in him at all. Everyone is still a friend and every dog is a new playmate. I think this part of his personality won't change as he matures - he'll just hopefully be a little less enthusiastic with his greeting as time goes by. :)

He's FAST and loves herding us. We've had a few people comment at the dog park how he'd do well in herding, so we're planning on checking out some herding trials this spring and summer and letting him at it.

Anyways here is a little album of new photos:

(that tongue out photo describes his personality well! A little derpy and goofy but very loveable!)
 
He really has turned into a gorgeous dog and what a coat he's got! I agree with you...kinda sad they're not puppies anymore but sure don't miss the housebreaking at all!
 
Your little Barley is really growing into a stunning adult, but like you, sort of hate to see the puppy days end. And my most favorite of all the pictures is, you guessed it, the one with him sticking his tongue out for the camera. :lol: He seems to be such a clown and I know there is never a dull moment in your house. Thanks for sharing your boy with us. :smile2:
 
oh, thank you for your little update and these amazing pictures of your beautiful Barley man :yes:
 
He was a good looking pup, and now he is a gorgeous guy. Yeppers that is quite a s-h-e-l-t-i-e!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the lad some sheep and let him shine:lol:
