Apache

[furtech]

Rondo and I went to the Border Collie Fun Day yesterday. I went out with one dog and came back with two...

Meet Apache!



She was from a litter of one of the volunteers and had to be returned because the family she was placed with (lots of kids) had one little girl who (a month later) was diagnosed with cancer and because of the chemo had to give Apache up. Considering how gentle a BC Apache is, I consider it a HUGE honor that she would consider placing her with me. We're trying it out to see if there's good chemistry between Rondo and Apache.

Rondo and Apache were so tired after the funday that they fell asleep on each other on the way home. I'm not even sure they were aware of each other on the trip home, though Rondo was sure surprised when we arrive: he was all, "Uh, I think you accidentally took home some strange dog...!"

So far, so good...

More later!

YAY!
Oh, she's gorgeous. :) I'm sure Rondo will love her. Dogs tend to be happiest when they have a pack to hang with, anyhow.
I really love her facial markings. What a cutie!

I'm pretty sure Rondo will like being a big brother to Apache. They're both going through a lot of change right now: Rondo from puppy to dog and only-dog to one-of-two; Apache is going from pack omega to alpha female. Fascinating!
