Christmas came early/ new puppy

[Mk42gunner]

I lost my constant companion Daisy a minpin/terrier cross mutt in October. She was with me for a month shy of thirteen years, and was about nine or ten months old when I got her from the pound. I finally got to where I could look at her spot on the couch and not expect to see her.

I was talking with my cousin a few days ago and she asked "What about an Australian Shepard?" Seems a woman she knows had some almost ready to go.

I met her this evening and got him; an eight week old, rolly polly sixteen pound chunky guy. Supposed to be a mix of Austrailan shepard and Heeler. I haven't decided on a name for him yet; Buddy the tom cat doesn't know what to make of him and Mom's spayed female cat Speedy just watches him from on top of the ice box.

He may be the best Christmas present since I got my first rifle in 1974.

Cool.

A buddy used to have one of those.
It was smarter than several people I know.

"Blue Heeler" is never a mistake.

Congratulations. Burnside is a good name to think on I think!

Needs lots of exercise.

Sounds like a great mix. It'll run you ragged!

Congrats on your new buddy. Merry Christmas.

That mix is a good combination.

Congratulations on your new buddy!

Congratulations on the new friend. My outside dogs are a Blue Heeler boy and a Australian Sherpard /mutt mix girl. Floyd and Pepper. Fun dogs they are.
They think that I hung the moon.

You will need to keep that heeler busy, they need to have a job. Enjoy.

I have a minature aussie and she has been with me 16 years. Very loyal animal and always interesting to what she can be up too. Good luck with your new best friend

I'm sad you lost your buddy Robert, but really happy you have a new little one. Sounds like a beaut' . Love the image of Speedy going "awesome, now what am I going to do."

You are blessed with a new companion. Do enjoy for many years to come.
I lost my girl a couple years ago now she was with me every minuet of day or night for 10 1/2 years, got her at 6 weeks.
I have two Great Pyrenees, now, one just turned one year old this month and weights about 100 lbs., the other is 17 months old and weighs in at about 90 lbs, she is part blind, booth very living and gentle, until there is danger, booth are females. Wonderful companions.

So far, he's been a good pup, no messes in the house. I'm sure that will change.

He likes snow, but isn't wild about -2F.

My neighbor has an Aussie Shepherd/ Corgi mix, He calls her Solo because she is so low to the ground.

Puppies are great! (Dogs in general). As a matter of fact, thinking back on it. When the wife and I decided to have children, it would have been a whole lot cheaper, and a hell of a lot less aggravating if we had gotten a few more puppies/dogs instead! LOL. Our two sons certainly managed to push the limits of human endurance on more than one occasion!!!!! Lol! Ah I guess they turned out alright, and they both provided us with some beautiful grandchildren. ( grandchildren in my opinion are completely different and much more desirable than actual children). Sorry to hijack your thread I couldn’t resist it. Great news on the new pup! congratulations! I hope both of you enjoy a very healthy and happy long life! Don’t know what to do without my best buddy Max!

I especially like the part where when their diaper becomes 'full', you can hand them back....
