Rose

Rose is doing very well. Loves people, squirrels, hikes, and belly rubs. Dislikes thunder, fireworks, most of ther dogs, and motorcycles. She is a precious sweet girl who gets scared easily.

Royce

On January 3rd, Royce will have been with us for one year. When I first saw him in Chicago Animal Control, it broke my heart that someone could be so cruel to a animal. He was under weight and missing a lot hair on most of his hind end and tail. His eyes were very hard. He did not know what toys or treats are. My vet believed that he had lived on a chain most of his life. He had no hind end muscle strength. Over the last year, he has healed both physically and mentally. A diet of TimberWolf dog food and Coconut Oil brought back his coat. In June, we tried sheepherding but he was too weak in the hind end. My neighbor suggested that I send him to her doggy day care. In July, I encouraged him to swim and he loved it. He swam six hours, twice a week at day care until the end of October when the pool closed. This quickly increased his strength and stamina so we tried sheep herding again in August. He now sheepherds once a week - he knows his flanks and is starting to feel balance. In the beginning of December, we dropped the line for the first time. He totally understands he needs to bring the sheep to me. When we came out of the round pen, he jumped up and gave me a bunch of kisses. He was so happy doing what he was bred to do. Between the swimming and the herding, he has stopped the nervous pacing he use to do. He has also stopped herding birds in the sky. Royce is a lovely dog. He is respectful of his place in the pack. He loves to snuggle and give kisses. He loves to play ball and swim. He is a talker - he has little grunts, growns and growls that he uses to communicate. I was not looking for another dog but he found me. We could not be happier.
