Mom has been on the computer a lot lately so this is the first chance i have had to write and tell you more stuff.... she has been looking for a puppy.... YUK!!! i dont know why she wants a puppy. but more about that later.
i know when i first started this i introduced myself but you know what? i forgot to introduce my mom.... sometimes i forget things like that cause i am busy doing important border collie stuff.
mom wanted to work with sheepdogs cause she likes dogs, especially border collies. so she went to talk to that guy Guido (he is a famous sheepdog guy). he helped her find a dog to start with. that was Zeke. then i came along and the rest, as they say, is history!
she is a veterinary technician and works at a very busy animal hospital. sometimes she comes home late at night from work. sometimes she comes home from work and she is grouchy cause she had a bad day. and sometimes she is happy cause one of her animals at work got better. and sometimes she is crying. when she is sad or had a bad day i go sit on her lap and give her a big hug to let her know i love her no matter what and it makes her feel much, much better.
sometimes she brings animals that are hurt or sick and helps them get better. that way i get to meet alot of new dogs (and sometimes cats, UGH). when they get better they go back to their people or she finds a new home for them.
some of the dogs i like and some i dont...
there was a puppy named Bart. i didnt like him cause he chewed on my dog house and he dug a hole in the yard... we all called him Bart the fart
Lunatic Luna came and stayed with us while she was looking for a new person. my gosh she could jump really high!
Rocky, the crazy border collie lab mix, also came while he was looking for a new place to live. mom didnt like him much cause he knocked down her cool old dog Willie.
Peaches and her puppies... she had kidney failure, poor girl. she stayed with us a month. Mom got up a lot at night to take care of her and the puppies... she got better and lived for another year with her family! all cause my mom worked so hard to make her well. when the puppies come into her work they all are grown up now and it makes her happy.
Dotty came here too and never left. I guess she is ok.... she is kinda weird. I like to chase her and pretend i am gonna beat her up. but what she doesnt know is that i never would ;) Dotty likes to hang out with the lambs and she lets them chase her... can you imagine???
mom still has her horses. she used to show them, she showed reining horses and cow horses and halter horses. she said it was very expensive to show so she quit. but thats good for me cause that way we get to go to more trials and, yep, you guessed it!!! GET SHEEP!!
we live on a 80 acre ranch with lots of farm land around... we go for walks and we get to run for miles and miles and miles... or she rides the bike and we get to run for miles and miles and miles or she rides a horse and we get to run for miles ans miles and miles.
she works hard. she loves us all very much and she takes good care of us. she bought a bigger truck so i could ride in the back seat. she gets mad when people tell her she is crazy for having so many dogs. but you know what? i dont see them rescuing and fostering and helping dogs that need it. so i really think they should just mind their own business! (sorry, but i get mad when people say mean things about my mom, it hurts her feelings. i would growl at them but i am way too polite to do that!) after all... i am just another one of her rescue kids.
my mom is pretty good. i love her and i always try to be a good girl for her.
