Skipper the cow dog

Here is my current foster dog from Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue.  ACDR is dedicated to rehabilitating and finding forever homes for Australian Cattle Dogs.  Skipper is a very fun puppy!  Approximately 10 months old, he is perfectly house trained -- has never made a mess in the house!  He loves to play fetch and knows how to sit and stay.  He is crate trained.  He walks beautifully on a loose leash.  Skipper loves Nylabones and kongs, but is getting bored with only playing with toys on these hot summer days.

I'll be so happy when the weather gets a bit cooler and I can walk dogs more, and maybe even train Skipper to go along with the horse!

Lovely Day Off

Come Saturday morning, I'm staying at home with my pack...  We'll Saturday spend to the end of the day...  Just I and my pack, ooh, ooh, we'll daydream for miles on our Saturday smiles, and we'll be at home.  And we will remember long after Saturday's gone.

OK, so I butchered the old song...  What a lovely day I've had today.  Slept in, had a leisurely breakfast and cups of tea (out of coffee!  oh no!), finally headed out to pick up a Reserve book at the library AND coffee at the store.

Returned to spend hours watching the monsoon storms come in and reading some more, managing my Kindle account on Amazon and my library account at Pima Public Library, and generally hangin' out with my canines.  Playing fetch a little bit; letting them out; letting them in; letting them out; letting them in...  It's still too hot to take them for walks...

The world has encroached on our off-leash walking spots, so I have to find some new areas.  Can't wait until the weather cools down so we can go exploring again!

Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue!

I have joined Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue.  My first foster dog is a very pregnant Sandy!

Within a week, she has five beautiful pups:

They grow and grow...

At 8 weeks today, they are BIG!  But Sandy still lets them steal a little snack.  ;-)

Then, it's a free-for-all with the pack!
