They have been *very* good as of late about taking care of business outside.   I have split the pups up into pairs because all together they are way too raucous and rowdy for a small space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jimmy now weighs 7.5 kg \/ 17 lbs &#8230;at 9 weeks old.  Off the scale for border collies: the average for a 9 week old is 9 lbs.  Having the other younger pups to socialize with as well as the adults has been super for Jim, avoiding the typical behavioral problems of singleton puppies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230318_170858031.MP_-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jimmy (center) and two McAuley puppies enjoying a springtime ice cube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122805448-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Glove Pull<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/PXL_20230319_122822960.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The smallest and most determined puppy [Joy] came away with the prize.
