29 November 2007

Puppy update! Of course there is a picture that is [More:] So Saffron has been here a week, and all the things I've thought I would have to deal with didn't happen. Silver is a little jealous, but he's happy with his new playmate. Pesto the cat gets along fine with the girl. She's really fit herself in to this animal family, making me think she wants to stay here. She's also smart as heck which belies her Border Collie/Aussie side. She's really been learning quickly from Silver. We all took a vote and decided to keep her. In all honesty she has the loving pooch qualities my past doggie Moondog had. My Vet, after he put Moondog down for me made a donation to the Boulder Valley Humane Society in his name, which is where I got Saffron. Some kind of kismet/synchronicity thing must be going on here...
Here's a photo of Saffron today finding the patches of snow left in the park by my house. She absolutely loves the snow, and has quite a nose for it.

I'm glad to hear that everybody is getting along.

PS - That picture has a definite "My snow. MINE. Not yours." quality to it.

Is "nice ass" a photo of moondog? (It's obviously something with a lot of blue cattle dog).

She's also smart as heck which belies her Border Collie/Aussie side.

Did you mean the opposite of that? I hope so. She's got some samoyed or something too, no? Though the internet is telling me that "Australian Shepherds" often have blue eyes. I always thought that was another name for the Blue Heeler, but now I discover that Aussies are all manner of things other than Aussie. (Which is very Aussie in its irony).

She's a beautiful dog, and she looks like she's got lots of character. Well done for having rescued her.

essexjan, all her fur is very soft, I'm hoping it stays that way.

GeckoDundee, the Australian Shepherd is pretty much an American breed. Goes back to some basque sheepherders that had these really great dogs. No one is really sure what the mix is, but it seems to be a blend of various herding dogs. The nice ass photo is of Silver.

Saffron seems to be part husky from her markings, but a lot of her body characteristics seem to be Border collie or Aussie. Her white tipped tail and freckled nose is pretty classic Border Collie. Who knows, she's pretty great whatever she is.
