Thank you Colliewobbles for the recommendation ... she is lovely, lively but also very calm around the sheep.
(not sure how long my wellies will be watertight though!!
Jovi is very laid back about the whole thing ... just makes sure he gets a treat when she does.

She is currently chewing a piece of wood up all over my carpet ... Jovi is watching proceedings!

 :raining: today ..... puppy full of energy to lose .... me and Jovi  would rather be sat in front of log fire but think  will have to find something to do outside for a while to let Cassie wear off some steam (now I remember I used to take previous collie puppy out with a neighbours young dog so they could wear each other out!!)

Chucking it down here today - so retrieves in my lovely long hallway should help, and I can throw them from the front door over into the paddock.

Plus any sort of training you can do indoors will help to wear her out - I always think 12-15 minutes brain work has the same effect of an hour or so of walking with collies.
