Australian Cattle Dog

This is Flash. Today would have been his 14th birthday. We lost him earlier this year due to hemangiosarcoma. He was the best and I still feel hollow from the loss.

My wife speaks dog. I'm just here to be pretty and pretend to be smart - still working on all that. 😀 ✌️

Thanks, I'll give her a cookie at your request. 🙂👍🍪

Thanks. Lark and my wife train so much because Lark loves to play the games. That's a lot of work while having a lot of fun.

Thank you. Obviously Toby and Lark were cut from the same cloth. Give him a cookie from me, like always.

Lark is our only cattle dog right now, we've always had more than one and she is becoming terribly spoiled (as it should be). She's also a great achiever scoring big at a recent Shed Dog trial (hunting for deer antlers) and Barn Hunt where they locate rats.

Thanks, Bee. Yes that is Flash, again. He did it all with gusto, skill, and kindness (he liked everybody). Kids and dogs make me smile too.

Thanks Bee. This is the best known barn in the area and is just one feature in a sprawling park. I couldn't pass up this symmetrical view of one side of it with those stormy clouds coming my way.

PTSD is a rough road. My dogs, music, and meds help me when it resurfaces. Dogs are probably the best medicine of all and a good dog can ground you in just a moment. 👍💙

Aw, so sorry to hear about the diabetes and the accompanying vision problems. She looked like an effective herder. Please make a cookie make its way to her from me. 👍💙🐾🍪

Look at that cute boopable nose. "Foster fails" are the best fails. Thanks for sharing and give that doggie a cookie from me. 💙👍🍪
