Welcome Binah Blue!

Img_8507


This is little Binah. We got a new puppy this weekend. She is a Border Collie, blue in color, and she is a credit to her breed. (8 weeks and wicked smart, and very sweet.) She's named after the 2nd (or 3rd, depending on which direction you count) S'firah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Binah means "Understanding" and that is the trait that seems to characterize Border Collies. Binah is my third BC. The first, Kayla has gone on to her eternal reward, and our second Gif (named after the web graphic format) is doing fine and just a little freaked out by this little blue whirlwind. Welcome, Binah!

Hey Eric,
I love Border Collies, Hugo our collie is black and white, son of a red mother and a chocolate father! He actually has reverse markings to the usual which is awesome and he has bright pale blue eyes. His dad was an award wining sheepdog and he is pretty good at rounding up the chickens when they get out! Go Border Collies!

What a beautiful pup! Excellent photo. Congrats.

Swell, Eric.

Is that pronounced Bye Nah or Bee Nah? Or?

It is pronounce "BEE-nah" Though I have heard Israelis pronounce it "bee-NAH"
