I have a "puppy" again finally!

Meet Luna (I think that's going to be her name anyway). She's a ~4yr old Border Collie x Australian Cattle Dog. Smart as a whip and HERDY! Man, this dog has more cow than any of my "cow horses" ever dreamed of having. She was found as a stray in Utah and shipped to Colorado where I picked her up from my local humane society.

She's already made herself at home and seems to really love ear rubs. She'll even flop over with her head in my lap if I hit the right spot (after only 2 hrs out of the shelter!).

I'm gonna have an energy/herding challenge on my hands, but I'm looking forward to it, and I think she'll encourage me to get out and do more. Seriously thinking about trying agility. I think she could jump the Moon if you hung a tug toy from it!!

Oh, beautiful dog!! Sounds like you two were made for each other.
My new kitty Suki flops over on her back too when you rub her ears just right....and then she gets a belly rub. I know how endearing this is in a newly adopted 'baby'.
I bet you are 'over the moon' with joy over 'Luna'. She's soooo gorgeous.

MartianDestiny, Luna is beautiful! She should meet my Shiloh (although I think he's Border Collie and English Setter).

These are my little mongrels. Just after we moved in.

Um, you aren't supposed to ship your dogs in boxes, next time let them ride in the car with you! lol

Funny thing is: on the box it says warning glasses. On the box behind them it says cushions!

Cute boxed dogs!!

Here are my two babies this morning. It was my husband's birthday, and of course as soon as the red wrapping paper was tossed on the bed....both kitties just HAD to claim it!

Suki and Pearl are slowly becoming buddies.
Older/wiser Pearl (on the right) 'showed' Suki how it's a cat's job to get on the paper right away. Now Suki knows.

Wow Tulip! They could be siblings, though your Shiloh looks a bit bigger.

Shiloh's knee-high (to me, I'm 5'6") and weighs 45 lbs. He would be a great frisbee dog but he's had hip surgery so he can't do those flips and things. But he loves agility.

Hi! Thanks for asking about my mare. The photo is from 1973---I had her from 1978--1994. Her name was Red Apron--here's her online bio.

We loved her soooo much!

I think you'll have to do agility, not thinking, just do!
She'll love it. She'll also get in a lot less trouble if you keep her mind and body occupied.

Yes, I do believe you are correct.

The "thinking" has more to do with trying to decide which avenue to try first: agility, frisbee competitions (she already does the half backflip, turn in mid air, and catch trick on her own...), or trying to find somewhere she could actually herd.

First and foremost will be some obedience classes though.

Today she decided the water bowl was for her to stick her foot in and paw and I got to mop the floor .

I do not have a geographically or financially stable enough life to warrant getting pet(s) yet but I do have bikes! Bikes are like pets, right? You love them, take care of them, take them out for rides and in return they serve you well. Sometimes we rescue ones that other have discarded. Some of us name them.

I can't wait to get a dog, though But for now, I only have bikes...
