This post is a little off the topic, but we have had several people asking for info on our new puppy, Ben.Ben is a 12 week old blue heeler-terrier cross we found on Kijiji. We were looking for a buddy for Joey, our 7 year old border collie-aussie shepherd cross. When we do finally move up to the ranch, we won't have the luxury of built-in neighbours to let the dogs in and out on a daily basis, or play with them while we're at work (thanks Patou!). We worried that she would be lonely, or worse yet, vulnerable to the many coyotes that live around the property. The search was on. After a few false starts, we stumbled across Ben. His new owner, Brianna, was unable to keep him so she had put him up for adoption - luckily for us!
We were concerned that Joey wouldn't like him, given her penchant for trying to beat up any dog that comes near her. However, our fears were unfounded, and she has accepted him into our family, if a bit grudgingly at times! They play and wrestle together whenever they are together. We feel so sorry for Joey. Like a real trooper, she puts up with the sharp teeth and constant attacks of her little pack mate. She does have to tune him in a bit when he gets too rambunctious for even Joey to deal with.
So, enjoy the video and the pic. I'm off to the ranch to setup for the slate tiles that go under and behind the wood stove. Wish me luck.
BTW, Carol's parents, Alex and Beverley arrived safely a few minutes ago. Welcome to Kamloops!
Haha that's awesome. Knew it wouldn't take long for them to be pals. Glad to hear Grandma & Grandpa got there safe.
