Do you see the smiles on these kids faces! I am sooooo happy we made this decision. I felt bad giving up Snickers but I know Snickers will be happier herding cattle.Thursday, June 5, 2008
What a difference a Collie makes!
So after having our dog Snickers for a few months we had to make a tough decision and get her a new home. We found out Snickers is an Australian Cattle Dog/Lab Retriever. She loved nipping at the kids. Actually she loved nipping at everyone 99% of the time. Now we know why she loved to nip...she was just doing her job and trying to herd people when she should be herding cattle. The kids still really wanted a dog so we found a Collie Rescue in Kentucky. We went today to check out the Collies. We came home with a puppy. I wanted an older dog for the kids but this puppy ended up being a perfect match. The kids love her and won't leave her alone. Her name is "Tiny". She is such a sweet dog. Tiny really seems to enjoy the kids and it is nice not having screaming kids who want to pet Snickers but are sooooo afraid of her nipping them.

My boys will bring Tiny lots more attention when they come! They have been begging for a pet, but I haven't caved yet. We don't really have the yard or the neighborhood for a dog. I'm glad this new dog is working out.
ReplyDeleteYou're so nice to let your kids have a dog. I'm feel like I'm not wanting to potty train my son, let alone a dog. Good luck!
