Got a new Dog

[olbod]

I was walking past the pet shop in Sarina on my way to the bank.
I heard a small voice call out "Hey Bod ".
Just inside the door was this fat lump of fluff standing up in an
enclosure wagging it's tail, so I lifted her out of the cage.

Anyhow, she latched onto me sock and folled me home.
She is a two in one, cross blue heeler - kelpie and is six weeks and five days old.
She responds well to "Hey Dog " so I can probably assume that that is
her name ?

Was 15 dollars too much to pay ?
Cheers.
Robert.

Robert, how you can put a value to a new friend which will give you and your family unconditional love for the term of her natural life?

She is cute and the way to you or her selected the new friend it is the best.

Congratulations, now stop at the Salvos and get 20 pairs of old shoes for her to play :D

Good on ya Robert:clap2:
though at 15, you could've bought a matching set;):D

Nah, I think I will get her a sheep but only one at a time on the lounge, eh.

It depends. Did she come with the extended warranty and any regular servicing? :p

G'day Olbod :)

Congratulations :) on getting a nice looking pup, but it looks very like a Black & White Tri-colour Border Collie pup ;) Black-White-Tan :D should give you love and affection for about 15 years=$1 a year


Nice markings too, as we are Border Collie Breeders ;) (chocolate) and a pedigree tri-colour Border pup would set you back about $800.

cheers

You must have a soft spot for dogs, you big softy you!!!!:wasntme:

[olbod]

Thanks UncleHo.
I think I got a bargain and I guess we will know more definately when
she grows a bit.
What ever she is will be fine with us.

Money well spent mate.

Not really but time will tell.
This is the first dog I have ever owned.

Betty had a Maltese Terrior that I couldn't stand ( we had to to have it put down when it developed a brain lesion ).

During that time I used to think that the best dog was one on the back of a ute going in the opposite directio to me !!

But already I am getting used to being rounded up by this one. Glad we dont have a stockyard.

Cheers.

We have had a few dogs over the years and they are part of the family, and when they eventually depart this world, it is as if your best friend has died, it can be very upsetting!!! Anyrate mate, enjoy the mateship, you'll find they ask for nothing except your love and attention!!:)

Mate, has she got all her Vacinations, if not get her down to the Vet ASAP, they really need to be protected, Regards Frank.

[JamesH]

Awesome. She's going to love riding in Landies; you can always tell.

[woody]

Congratulations, every Landy (and owner) deserves a dog for a friend.

[kowari]

she will be a great dog i'm sure, shame you bought it from a pet shop though.

lets hope they ban pet shops from selling dogs soon eh.

Its great to have a puppy around though and i'm sure you will treat it like royalty, good luck with her.

Nice dog
might need to install berms in the lounge room

Frank, according to the pet shop owner, she has had all her injections but I will ask for more detail when we go to Sarina tomorrow.

We will be taking her to the vet later in the week for a check up and I
want to enquire about having her I/D chipped. Not sure how old they need to be to have the thingy inserted.

JamesH, yep she likes riding in the Disco.
She stands up looking out the window but often ends up on the floor,
she is able to climb back up tho !!

I think I will have to put a small trailer behind the rideon so she can help with the mowing when she gets older.

Cripes she is full of beans or else I am getting old ?

Cheers.

I wouldn't take the Shop owners word, I'm sure you should be entitled to the vet's papers showing she has had all her vacinations, extremely important nowdays with Kennel Cough and Parvovirus. If you ever have to leave her in a kennel you will need the paperwork showing that she has been vacinated, all the best, regards Frank.

LOL!!

When I bought my Kelpie (the runt:wub:)
a friend said you'll get no sense out of it for 7 years--

and she was spot on.

but the last 7 were gold:BigThumb:

[alittlebitconcerned]

Congrats on your first dog!
She should be quite an intelligent dog by her breeding and I recon the best way to enjoy owning a smart dog is to train them well. I think they are happier for it. She'll be a good friend for life.
