Blue

Yes I know we move quick but the longer we wait to get a dog the longer Ben doesn't have a buddy. It just so happened there were Queensland pups in the paper. First we had to decide if we wanted one because we're suckers and if we go we aren't going to say no. These dogs can have the rep to be "heel nippers" and protective. We've known a few people who have absolutely loved them as family dogs and they have a reputation for being hardy dogs. Which obviously we are in need of around here, plus I couldn't get another dog that was just like our other ones, I needed something different. When we showed up mama and papa dog were there and were friendly and licked our hands even though their owner wasn't outside yet so we felt encouraged by that. And like I said, we came home with one, a girl, and named her Blue. She proceeded to get carsick and throw up 4 times on the way home which lead us to believe she just ate and it's quite a long way from Lamont to our house. She was little timid with Dezi at first but she spent the night outside with her with no whining and today she's wrestling and trying to bite her tail like any fiesta puppy. I might mention that Ben is smitten. He loves puppies but Blue really has him by the heart already. I think they'll be good buddies.
