My Pets - Blue

This is Blue, she is a blue merle border collie. She is 10 years old and she is my favourite pet. Although it's not clear on this photo, part of her right eye is blue and that is how she got her name.

We bought her from a farm when she was 8 weeks old. Her 10th birthday was in August this year.

I take her for a walk everyday and I love to play with her.

She has loads of funny habits. If I blow bubbles for her she will chase them and pop them. If I'm playing a board game she watches intently for ages and sneaks up slowly to the game. If she gets a chance she will snatch the dice or a game piece.

Sometimes she pulls this face where she scrunches her eyes up and puts her ears back. Sometimes she does this and smiles as well, but I haven't got a picture of her doing that.

She used to play all the time but now she is getting older she is getting a bit stiff in her joints and she sleeps a lot more.

She does have a very long tongue, as can be seen below, and she quite often sticks it out.
