Hi!
I have quite a strange story to tell really.
Last Friday, I received an email that had been passed around locally about a lost old dog. We decided that we'd take a look and were very excited about meeting him the next day. The people who had possession of him told us that he wasn't the prettiest of dogs and that they would be willing to go halves in the vet bills. I didn't mind about his looks and just thought these guys didn't know much about dogs if they were talking about vet bills.
So, they bought him out on the Saturday and geez.. He really is worse than I thought he would be. Someone had never looked after him and he had giant callouses on his behind, to the point of these things were 10cm round and wide.. He had a terrible flea problem, missing teeth, a giant cist hanging off him and his front paw had been cut to the point of one of his foot pads was now on the top of his foot.. We decided that he was just too much for us to take on and were quite deflated after they left.. (Turns out those people have grown attached and have decided to do whatever it takes so good news!)
We began trawling through the net and found a new addition to our Family, a Kelpie Pup, our FAVOURITE dog breed
We also have another Kelpie I've had since I was 18 years old. Shes now 14 and theres no other dog breed we love as much as the Kelpie. I've always had a love for them. We've been thinking about getting another Dog for a long time now, but this is the prompt we needed to do so.
Shes an extremely smart pup and instinctively rounds up the chickens in the yard when they come toward the verandah, which is great cause we don't like them shitting on the pattio. And she sleeps well at night and has settled in just great. We look forward to years of joy to come.
Just had to share, thanks for listening!
