Aussies LOVE Winter !!!

We have been getting lots of Winter weather the last couple week at North of Wiarton where we live with our four Australian Shepherds, The "Checkerboard Aussies".  Good for them, as Aussies LOVE Wiinter fun.  

Bandit & Lexus having lots of play fighting time yesterday.

Missy Mercedes having the time of her life outside with me yesterday, loving every second of being out in the Snow.

Today we had a Blizzard hit Bruce County.  Everything is closed up like a drum, major highways, and side roads alike.  That did not stop us from having some Fun with our Buddy today !

Buddy just knows Rob has a treat in his pocket ... please Dad, can I ???

Then the fun begins.  Buddy as much as saying, "where you calling me, Mom?", and off into the snow he is gone like a "shot" !

Would you like to see more of the Checkerboard Aussies, and their offspring from photos their Forever Homes send to us?  please drop into their Facebook page to give it a LIKE by going HERE.

Stay warm and safe wherever you might be !!!

A Fetching Week

The Weather quite fetching this past week that we found time to actually have some time out for a bit of fetch.

Buddy ... our Summer project this year is to get a horse`s lunge line to teach Buddy some interest in fetching a ball.  We hope this will be accomplished by the end of this Summer with a Video of him put up here too.

Then There Were Eight

"Between the time I had retired to bed last night with 6 pups having had been born, and my hubby, Rob, waking me to come look at 8 pups at 1:30 am ... it had been a long night resulting in 8 healthy puppies and one really happy Mama Mercedes."

"This morning was clean-up time with them all gently placed onto a towel into a recycling box while Bandit babysat.  He is the best babysitter we have around here."

"Out of the "Everything 8" puppies these are the 3 handsome boys available for Forever Homes.  One is a Red Tri, and his two brother's are both Black Tri's."

"Four babies had already been purchased by 1 pm this afternoon.  From Everything 8 down to then there were Three."

"With the whelping box all sanitized and clean, Mama Mercedes went back in to do her thing, which she is doing very well."

This was our very first day with The "Checkerboard Aussies" Everything 8 litter 2013.

It's A Puppy Pool !

"We all know Buddy is going to be a Father very soon, so we here at The "Checkerboard Aussies" decided we would have a Pool on how many puppies will be born."

Yesterday we took a couple photos of our roly poly Missy Mercedes, our first time Mother to be, and posted them to The "Checkerboard Aussies" Facebook Page with a caption that went something like this:

"The "Checkerboard Aussies" are going to have a pool. In order to qualify you must LIKE their Facebook page (the page, not a post or photo on their page, please). Mercedes is due on or about the 28th of April 2013. Post your "guess" on how many puppies she will have, and whoever guesses the right number will be entered into a draw to win a Gift Certificate. Please feel free to "share" this Puppy Pool with your family & friends. Best luck to the Winner once the happy day has come and gone !!!  I will be announcing this shortly after the big day has arrived."

We would LOVE if you would like to participate in all the fun by going over to their Facebook Page and giving it a big LIKE then adding your guess under the comments section.  See you there ! and may the best guess be drawn.  You may find their Facebook Page by going HERE.
