"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

  6. I'm sure Sass and Honey will both enrich each others lives beyond words. As Kim says kelpies are so smart and loving. Good luck with the shredding :)
