I am wishing a very special 2012 to all. Hopefully better than 2011. Seems like all I did was work. Either in my job or around the house. I didn't get to do to many dog related events this year, but did have a very cute litter in July. Most were placed in very nice homes. Except for one. Bad baby, red girl. Imagine that. :-)
Wild eyed, trouble-making "Spinnie". Good thing she is small. Six months and not even 17 inches. Small enough you can pick her up and haul her bad butt off when needed. That is if you can catch her. She will come if she thinks you are mad enough or something in it for her. Puff is pretty sure she should find a new home. She will not leave her poor tail alone and I can't tell you how many times I've had to save Puff from a bad baby attached to her like a tail eating Piranha.
Classic Spinnie. Would you want that attached to your butt?
Yum! Puffa's tail is tasty!
Run! Puffa! Run!
Next weekend Roy will be flying to Denver and then drive up to Cheyenne, Wyoming to pick up my Christmas present. A new bloodline. "Phoenix", a red tri baby boy. I am ready for a working bred baby. My boys are getting older and I would like another male. I think he will be a nice addition to the house and be interested in doing some stock work especially on cattle. Hopefully he will fit in the soft crate for under the seat or Roy will have a not-so-fun time returning home.
I really like his moderate trim. I think he will be a handsome guy! He is that nice rich chocolate-red rather than the red-red. If you know the difference in the colors of Aussies you know what I mean. ;-) He is a blend of a variety of bloodlines. Some pretty old. Should be interesting.
The past couple of weeks have been really crazy. I've had four extra dogs for the holidays. Myst and Casco. Maggie and Sadie. Their parents went somewhere much warmer and more hospitable than Maine for the holidays. Three 6 month old littermate puppies make me want to pull my hair out. They think they have to bark at EVERYTHING! Feeding time is pretty interesting. Good thing I have many rooms and the way the house is set up I can rotate them into several areas when I have to run errands. Since I don't have kennels it works out pretty well. I am ready for all the hairy children's parents to come and pick up their kids. I bet that is how people with daycare feel at 5 o'clock.
Love his color.Reminds me of my boy when he was a puppy.The color of Hershey's chocolate,what could be better than that!!
ReplyDeleteJust makes you want to eat him up, doesn't it? :-P
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what he looks like as an adult!!Are you adding him to your breeding program?I'd love to get an other dark red aussie!!!
ReplyDeleteIf he stays clear of any serious genetic issues, passes his clearances and is not structurally a mess, yes, I am hoping to use him to diversify the bloodlines. I am also hoping he will have some talent as a useful stock dog. His pedigree and his attitude would support this, however I won't know until he matures a little.
ReplyDeleteOf course!He has alot of growing up to do.Can't wait to see more pics of him.
