Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

Happy Puppy....
Here she comes! Racing her way into your heart (mine, anyway!). My Bellamica is growing into such a beautiful, spirited pup and has totally taken over the household. Her sense of joy and exuberance are contagious and she is THE most loving animal I have ever known. Yet, she manages to maintain her "dignity" and not be a grovely, "pet me please" kind of dog. She is self-confident and very intelligent. I would definitely recommend that anyone considering getting a working farm dog consider an English Shepherd. What a phenomenal breed! I can't honestly say that she's any help with the sheep yet. Mostly, she just sits and watches me. There's plenty of time for that later. In the meantime, I'm just happy to have my beautiful Bellamica as part of my "family"... DREAM says.... ..."I'd be real happy too ~ If you'd teach her to CLEAN THE BARN!!"
Aren't dogs just the GREATEST?!! My parents last night were talking about NOW getting another ES puppy as our Buddy is going to be 10. I think we'll get another ES puppy sometime. Can't wait to meet her!
Sshe's so cute it makes me think about getting one - although my best buddy, Shadow wouldn't like it. He was cornered by dogs to be made dinner when I stepped in and scooped him up (hence now an indoor cat). Maybe when I don't have so many cats....
Isn't it wonderful to have a new dog around the house? Challenging and tiring, but we wouldn't trade our fur babies for anything! There love is unconditional and pure.

ReplyDeleteAt least I can follow your Baby's exploits!
I'll "share" her with you, Kat.
