over the last week our household has gone from this...
to this...
oooo my heart nearly broke into itty bitty pieces as six mini hounds
went to their various (wonderful) new forever homes
went to their various (wonderful) new forever homes
and we are left with two little mini hounds
sigma and gamma
tiggy-tiggy and gams will be our boys
and over the next year I will spend much of my time
and over the next year I will spend much of my time
teaching them the ways of the creek
they will learn how to behave around cattle and sheep
they will learn how to behave around cattle and sheep
to swim in the surf
and travel in the vehicles
to run beside bikes and fetch sticks and balls
the will learn an array of commands
('sit', 'come', 'stay', 'drop', 'down', 'ball', 'up', 'in', 'over', 'behind', 'outside', 'wait'....
these boys are kelpie x collies
- pretty much the smartest dogs in the known universe -
so they can learn over 100 verbal commands if you have the patience to teach them...)

it's our job to show them what their purpose in life is
and help them grow into the special dogs that I know they are ready to be
oh this is going to be a glorious adventure!
aawwww, these are tooo tooo sweet.
