After the Sabbath on Saturday we took a trip on Sunday to a small farm of some very nice ppl who happen to also be believers. They have some beautiful collies which turn out to be related to ours having some of the same ancestors as ours have.
We had a reason to go here. I was looking around on the net and saw a very unique looking puppy that was similar to what I was orginally trying to breed for in the past concerning colors, except this one has a very unique look.
We were greeted by some very, very nice ppl who made us feel like we were right at home and we were able to meet this young pup and it was love at first sight, although he is just about 4 weeks old so he is more interested in sleeping and eating than making human friends right now. But, he is a slightly shy very gentle puppy who even when playing with his siblings was gentle and fun loving.
I have a couple of pictures of him when he was two weeks old so his blaze is not as large as it was in this picture but his unique face pattern for a collie that attracted my attention will really stand out when he grows up.
We went with two names. Remington, a name I love and is full of great American history and the other Shiloh which has a deep meaning to me for it was the first capital of Ancient Israel, was where the Tabernacle resided until moved to Jerusalem. The word Shiloh also is a variation of Shalom, which means Godly Peace, Contentment and fulfillment and in another context G-D’s gift. Lastly but great of all it has Messianic meaning being the name given to coming and returning Messiah and L-RD and Savior.
If he was a spitfire like Winchester he was going to be Remington, if sweet and gentle he will be Shiloh. Well, he is sweet an gentle and at this time of deep changes here at the Meadow the name has deep meaning in many ways. Shiloh comes home towards mid-October. We can’t wait.
Ginger is mortified, for she wanted a Remington, Winchester is mystified and Rutherford could care less, Mick is looking forward to another puppy. He loves pups and lil Hallie, she is ready to guide him and lead him into being a part of the family.
More news coming as we move closer to the Meadow having another new, young face showing up. Somehow I am not sure this one will be a Ginger minion…. but perhaps Ginger will reform? Probably not…. Will be interesting to see…. WELCOME SHILOH!!!

We look forward to the adventures of Shiloh. Very interesting markings. Don’t remember seeing many tri-colors with the white on the face like that.
He is very unique looking isnt he? As soon as I saw him I was moved..
