Sunday Stills, Canine Conpanion

This weeks challenge is our K9 companions.
JS and I stated looking for a new pup a few month after
our 14 year old Chesapeake Bay retriever had to be
put down. I...wanted a Welsh Corgi....JS didn't know
what he wanted, but is wasn't a Corgi. We looked on the
Internet, another Chesapeake, maybe a Golden Retriever,
how about an Australian Shepherd?

I had seen an add for Aussie pups at the feed store, so
we called and made an appointment to go see.
What a mob! Sherry Carter had three females and two
had pups. It was a rainbow, blue, black and red and
every one was so dang cute! I could have pick two
or three, till we stated talking price.

we went home and thought about it and two days later
Cubby "Starr's Blue Carter"aka Ranch Dog
came to live with us.

She's four now and it seems like she's been with us
forever. Setting at the back door waiting for belly
rubs or biscuits. Rides in JS's truck or in the orchard
with me. Hanging out in the morning for coffee. or
the occasional "Raccooon Rummmble" episodes.

She's our only kid at home now and we love her dearly.

I agree, she is gorgeous! It must have been tough picking out a pup from all those cute little rascals!

Very beautiful dog. Our dog Kate is like our kid too. I spoil her horribly. She barks to come in, barks to go out. Has her own chair and blanket. It is kind of pathetic. LOL
