"Honey-honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey-honey"

Meet our newest creek resident

Honey...

Honey is just 8 weeks old -
she's a yellow (aka cream) kelpie 

(yes there is such a thing..... I didn't know this until a few weeks ago!)

Honey was chosen this morning from a litter of 4 pups

and given her name by our sassy-boy 

to be his very own working dog

 it was love at first sight 

 first hugs in a new home

 first puppy meal made by sass

first sight of the other very big dogs of the creek

(oooooo GOODNESS!)

first hugs of reassurance

 first steps alone into a big new (slightly wet) world

 first sleep in a new home

(snuggled between sassy's boots on some of his old clothes

note the box decorations....) 

Hopefully this is the first day of a beautiful journey together

filled with ball games and frisbee and stick fetching

and bike rides and cow herding and doggie high jump

and swimming and running

and hugs and doggy kisses

welcome to the creek honey-honey

....
