And then there were 6 ...

Yesterday we welcomed Tumble into our home. Tumble is the name given by her biological human parents, we are still undecided to her name, but already Caleb and Jaida are calling this little girl "Tumble" and Jaxon "Umble."

Tumble was born on July 18th 2009 to parents Maggie (4yrs, a long haired black border collie) and Charlie (18 months, white short haired border collie.) She had 2 other sisters and 3 brothers and came from a beautiful farm in Bamawm, Victoria.

Interestingly enough, the family from which Tumble came from, I taught one of their sons, way back when he was a wee lad in Grade 2 at Lockington Primary School and I was a fresh new graduate teacher. He's now a strapping young man over 6 foot tall and well into his late teens.

Driving down the laneway into the family farm, Caleb, Jaida and Jaxon were also witness to a calf entering the world in one of the adjoining paddocks and further along other freshly born calves were teetering to stand on all fours, or were being licked clean by their mothers. Life is fresh on the farm.

This is our first family pet and there are sure to many adventures with this little girl!
