Meet the Cypher.

Well this blog has his name in it and I haven't even introduced him - poor boy he's so deprived. Meet Cypher (pronounced Sigh-fur...which is what I will do when he grows a full coat and I have to vacuum everyday *chuckle - yeah like that will ever happen*). Here he is:
He's awfully cute isn't he? (There obligatory "awww cute" comment inserted) - he was born on the 6th of October 2004 which makes him a Libran so hopefully he'll be well balanced. He is NOT a West Australian! *Shock horror* He was born in New South Wales and came to Perth on the 9th of December. Of course such a boy of travel worldliness would have a fancy name as well - his is Nahrof Quick Change. Why did I give him such an unusual name you ask? (If you didn't too bad - don't you know that is exactly why people choose unusual names for their dogs and children - just so the conversation revolves around them??) Anyhoo - Cypher - I heard it first in the first Matrix movie - a rather evil wicked guy who betrayed Neo and Trinity to Agent Smith (wasn't Hugo Weaving superb in that film? "Human beings are a disease.."Best line EVER!) and I liked the sound of it. Then I found out later (through watching Stargate of course) that it evolves from the arabic word Si-fur meaning Zero....this left me slightly worried and hoping that there was going to be more than Zero in his head. Luckily for us all his head seems to be full of the infinite! Cypher came to become the new boy member of our family (Raven's Dad Bear had passed away nearly 2 years ago) - my new show,agility, obedience and generally goodlooking Border Collie. I asked the breeder Lauren Somers of Nahrof Border Collies for a well put together boy who had the attitude needed to be a zippy little agility dog. He certainly has the 'tude! But more on his progress later.
