1. I am in love with her!

I almost got puppy fever when I checked petfinder "just for fun" last week and saw two female Aussie puppies. But a puppy would be unfair to my very old dog. My young do OTH would love it. If I saw a speckled girl like that I wouldn't be able to help myself.

I keep telling you what a beautiful dog she is because I can't help it. I meant to ask you, is she a Texas Heeler (Aussie/Heeler mix)? I keep thinking that there must be Austrailian Shepherd in her, but maybe BC. I love herding breeds! I need somebody intelligent around the house!

8. Thank You get the red out! (Great username, like Visine, only perilously political!)

Shadow's a lovable eight year old puppy-at-heart. She was rescued in a litter of ten, then chosen with another of the pups to live with a foster mom and that's where we met her. And fell in love right away. As a young puppy she followed us around outside, inside, wherever we went, there she was. So she became our Shadow.

Her heritage is: 1/4 Border Collie 1/2 Blue Heeler plus Husky, Golden Retriever, Austrian White Shepard.

As it happened, we adopted Shadow when our old female dog Sandy was still alive. Sandy tolerated Shadow and even began to play with her. Here they are/were together.

2. Awwww, thank you for my required dose of Shadow pics!!!

By the way, is it my imagination, or does that spot of paint/dirt/peeling (???) under the door, to the right of her Jolly ball, look remarkably like her coat? In the first pic?

9. You are welcome niyad!! If it is, your imagination has a good eye! Thank You!

4. "New home" scared me for a moment...

…until I remembered that you had moved. It sounded like you’d had to rehome her, and I panicked. Sigh of relief here.

[George McGovern]

11. Whoa, I'm glad you remembered 3catwoman3! I share your relief!! Thanks!

[3catwoman3]

15. Maybe change your OP to "our" new home...

...in case there's another nervous Nellie DUer like me?

[George McGovern]
