Welcome, Sky!

Earlier this month, my sister rescued another Australian Cattle Dog after losing her beloved Charlie.  She found Sky through the Border Collie Rescue of Minnesota, and they are a great match.

When we went to meet Sky at her foster home, she was so friendly and cute.  She promptly emptied the bag Leslie brought containing her new collar, leash, toys, and treats.  While Les was signing the adoption forms, Sky was chewing a hole in the treat bag, joyfully sprinkling little biscuits all over the floor.  She has been a very bright light over the past few weeks.

A cuddle bug from the very first moments!

Sky is quite young, we suspect about 18 months.  She was a stray who turned up in a Kentucky shelter.  She was pregnant (teen mom!) and later whelped ten puppies, with seven surviving.  While most of her puppies have been adopted, there are still a few little gems left needing homes.

Apolo successfully cajoled Sky on her second visit, and they have become fast friends...which is quite humorous as Sky is almost small enough to walk completely under his tall legs, which gives her an unexpected advantage while wrestling.

Happy New Year!  May 2013 be full of love and joy for all.
