Annabell

Update 28 Dec 2008 - I know how special this litter is to you. Annabell as well as all the others bring joy to their owners everyday. They bring a special gift to all those that meet them. Miss A continues to be a shinning star in my life. She instinctively knows when someone one is ill. My sister Fran was hurt, and Annie stayed by her side. She continues to have a very special relationship with her.

When Liz came Annie smelled where she had the radiation. She watched over her every move. If Liz moved Annie came to get me to make sure she was ok. Everyday she gives more and more. She has turned into a wonderful young lady. Like promised when she got to be two the light bulb went off.

Annie also knows when my blood sugar level changes. She has alerted me to when it has gone way down. One morning she was relentless until I got up and tested the level. I know that when your blood sugar level changes you give off a different odor.

If she was human I am sure she would have been a nurse. She is more guardian angel than dog.

RJM Raven Hug Me Holly

December 2008 ~ My sweet little girl sure does love me and I love her too. I have my arms full of my pup!

This sweet young lady, now named 'Holly', lives on a ranch in Texas where she herds cows, chases bunnies, rides in the tractor, and plays all day long with Edwin and her Aussie companions Levi & Dusty !

Here's Miss Holly, with her buddy Levi, admiring the wonders of Spring as they tour their ranch

and we dare not forget how little Miss Holly patiently sits on the picnic table, watching through the window as Edwin works at his computer...we know she's just waiting for the chance to assist him with his office work!!!

Molly

Miss Molly is a Colorado girl who is definitely living up to her heritage of beauty, brains and stock savvy....read on for a peek into Molly's new life!

Hello Judy!

I apologize for not writing sooner...but...I have been crazy busy!!! I wanted to give you an update on Miss Molly. She is an incredible dog and we absolutely adore her! She and Shakespeare (the worlds largest corgi) get along famously and play and play and play. The first time we took her out to meet the horses she was a little shy but not the least bit intimidated....but I kept careful watch over her just in case.  While she has been very careful to stay near me and away from them...that changed last week.

I needed to move the horses (5 of them) from the Southern pasture to the Northern one. This required moving them about 1/2 mile down our dirt road to get them to the Northern pasture. I had the brilliant idea that if I had a lure (carrots) that they would follow me and I could move them all at the same time....only haltering the lead mare. WRONG!!! As soon as they were out they had no intention of doing anything but running willy-nilly everywhere. I started to panic...not knowing how to get them herded to the gate. And in comes our heroine...Molly! She jumped out of the truck...cut a big circle around to the back horse and started driving him forward....she kept running in a semi-circle, up on side...pushing the horses into a line...and then around the other side. Whenever the lead mare veered off, Molly ran to the front and "stared" her down...barking and jumping at her until she changed direction.

I opened the gate and she pushed them through. It was amazing! The only problem was that after she pushed them through she wanted to herd them all around the pasture...basically, she didn't want to quit. An area that I definitely need to work on....as soon as I learn how to teach her using signals.

Anyway...I thought that I would let you know how strong the herding instinct is in your dogs. I've enclosed a picture I took right after....see how happy she looks! As soon as I took her picture she ran and jumped into the horse water trough...she l-o-v-e-s water!!!

I hope you are doing well and I'll write more later.

Tater, November 2008

Tater has joined his family in Mass. and has a new name "Tater"!  He enjoys the best of all worlds, city and country with adoring caregivers and will see his black tri sister weekly!

Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Hi,

“I thought that I’d share a note w/ you about Mr. Tater. Mom’s Miss Chloe ended up w/ some kind of intestinal bug on Sunday night and was very sick. She ended up being severely dehydrated and unable to walk and had to be admitted at the vets for IV’s. Mom called me….beside herself in tears when Chloe was unable to walk…and I told her to get her in the car and I’d meet her at the vet. Well as I guessed, she was dehydrated and needed to stay for fluids over night. As you can guess Mom was relieved but still very upset that Chloe was sick and not home. Well you’ll be proud to know that Mr. Tater took it upon himself to watch over Mom….knowing that she was upset and missing Chloe and stayed by her side all night. He didn’t even go to bed when Dale did (something he always does, as we all know that he is attached to Dale’s hip) because he sensed that Mom was upset and needed his comfort more that Dale needed his company. He is such a dear boy.

Mom talked to the vet this morning and Chloe is much better and hopefully will be able to come home today….so then all will be right @ Mom’s again…..but thank goodness for Dale having Tater to comfort and keep an eye on Mom during Miss Chloe’s absence. You do raise some very beautiful and exceptional Aussies my dear friend, that have hearts and souls of an angel, and that love unconditionally and everlastingly. I just thought that you like to hear about Mr. Tater’s kindness and caring for Mom during her time of need.

Hugs to all,
Terry, Radar and your Mass Family

and a bit later…”I’m sure that many of your kidlets have all of the special and endearing qualities the both Tater and Radar do and exhibit on a daily basis. They are such wonderful boys and do make our lives so much richer for having them in it. Dale said that he could see that Tater was torn, about whether to go to bed w/ him or stay w/ Mom, so he just left his bedroom door open so that Tater could do what ever he needed to. They really are a match made in heaven.”

Bubba
Bubba headed off to Georgia where he joined his cousin Miss Dixie on the "hobby animal farm" in 2006....best of all he will go to work with Wes daily and supervise their sprinkler system business....and has his very own diesel truck for his comfort and pleasure!

with his jaw trembling with happiness to see me......he's so special."
