Today I’m thankful\u00c2\u00a0to have time outside with the dogs in the daylight. These days it’s dark by the time I get home from work. Sometimes I delay my morning departure to have a sliver of daylight to play ball with them in the yard before I leave. But today we have the whole day! This morning a long V of geese flew over. Chase and Cay\u00c2\u00a0ran across the field after\u00c2\u00a0them, all the way\u00c2\u00a0to the fenceline. It seems like they’re getting a late start on heading south.<\/p>\n
Tinkerbelle is free of her chain in Wyoming and was safely delivered to Rocky Mountain\u00c2\u00a0Cattle Dog\u00c2\u00a0Rescue in Denver last weekend.\u00c2\u00a0On Saturday, Bunny of RMCDR wrote:<\/p>\n
Well Miss Tinkerbelle is in my lap as I try to type this and she is an absolute doll. Not a lot of issues, has no social skills but we will fix that and also no manners and that we will definitely fix but other than that she is totally adoptable and real love. My friend Billie has a 13 year old that does agility and obedience with his golden so he knows how be around strange dogs and Tinkerbellle ran up to him and within minutes after he sat down on the ground was all over him giving him kisses!!! GREAT DOG!!! So we are going to work on her social skills and then find her a great home.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to Lynn who rescued her from the guy who kicked her and kept her on a short chain with no shelter from the elements or the wildlife,\u00c2\u00a0and to Bunny who took her into rescue.<\/span><\/p>\n The breeder of the handsome blue boy Boomer (fka Maverick) <\/span>who has been in the impound in Minnesota for a month has identified him and is driving down to pick him up next weekend. They are a very reputable breeder and I think they were not very happy that he ended up in the impound and nobody came to find him. The breeder said that Boomer will go to live with their 37 year old son who is single and lives in the country. He lost his dog to cancer and has not gotten another dog yet. Boomer will have an excellent home…no cats and 8 miles to the closest neighbor. Maybe this match was meant to be.<\/span><\/p>\n Scooter, the\u00c2\u00a0cattle dog border collie mix\u00c2\u00a0in the Georgia kill facility, was rescued and is en route to Homeward Bound Rescue in Minnesota.<\/p>\n Foxie, the red baby cattle dog was saved from the impound before her time was up. She arrived at Homeward Bound in Minnesota yesterday. Linda, who picked\u00c2\u00a0Foxie up from boarding in Kentucky and delivered her to the transport, gave\u00c2\u00a0her\u00c2\u00a0a couple of hours\u00c2\u00a0to be outside and to run and play with people.\u00c2\u00a0Linda said:<\/span><\/p>\n What a sweetie!\u00c2\u00a0She was shy at first about getting out of her cage, but warmed up to my 21 year old daughter and I quickly.\u00c2\u00a0She is already retrieving a tug I bought for her. She has lots of energy and intelligence.\u00c2\u00a0She will be an easy one to train.\u00c2\u00a0My daughter tried to talk me into just calling Margie to tell her\u00c2\u00a0Foxie was lost, so we could just keep her.\u00c2\u00a0LOL!… We only have one ACD, 2 ACD\/lab crosses, 10 horses and assorted barn cats.\u00c2\u00a0I need another animal like I need a hole in my head!\u00c2\u00a0I sure was tempted today, though\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>On Wednesday evening, Katie of Homeward Bound reported: She’s here!\u00c2\u00a0Adorable does not even begin to describe her, either.\u00c2\u00a0She is so tiny! Has the ACD spunk already, is absolutely hilarious to watch play.<\/em><\/p>\n Speck the border collie puppy and Sassy the lab-beagle mix were unlucky enough to end up at the impound in Kentucky, but lucky to be there with Foxie. Our attention was drawn to the impound list because Foxie the baby ACD was there, and Homeward Bound in Minnesota offered to also take Speck and Sassy if we could get them here. Melissa pulled them at the last minute on Tuesday. It was euthanasia day and when she got there, they were already shaving dogs for the injections. There wasn’t room for Speck and Sassy on the transport, so now they’re being boarded in Kentucky and we’re working on a plan to get them to Minnesota.<\/p>\n Dotty, the catahoula-ACD mix in Iowa had been there for a long time and they had not been able to find her a home. Her situation had become urgent. Homeward Bound offered to take her in too, and a volunteer will drive her to the Minneapolis area on December 6th.<\/p>\n
