Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Our Shepard/lab mix dog Buddy passed away last year after 14 years of protecting the yard from evil birds and sleeping cats. Life has been peaceful and quiet - much to our dismay.
So, when a friend sent these pictures of a homeless Sheltie in Southern Oregon, we all joined together in perfectly elegant English and exclaimed, "We gots to get that dog!"
After a three-hour drive, we will pick him up Saturday at the shelter. Then, after what promises to be an interesting return trip to Father Time's peaceful retreat, we expect all hell to break loose as Joey (that's his new name) and the cats get acquainted. We have one acre of fenced land so the show should rival the Indy 500 for lap times, exciting crashes, and pit crew trips up trees to rescue terrified cats. I plan on sitting in my lawn chair with a cold beer and acting as race steward, black flagging tired kitties and refueling the ones still in the race.
You should be jealous - very jealous!

What a little sweetheart! Congratulations!
Thanks Mo. He fits your description perfectly!
He's so cute!
I have a hard time hearing about homeless pets ... unless they're being well cared for in the meantime.
