This little puppy girl had been through a few families. Her last home was with an elderly woman in government housing, who couldn't keep her because the pup was a bit too big. I took the dog temporarily so the woman wouldn't get evicted, but after half a day I decided to adopt her. Blue Heelers are too difficult for most people to keep one. This puppy was headed to a shelter and near certain death. Maybe someone would have given her another try, but a vet's assistant once told me nearly all shelter dogs get put down. I think she had little chance of getting a "forever home." Her behavior has gotten to be pretty good by Blue Heeler standards, but she's still be a very high energy menace to society that never ever gets tired.
My buddy had a Blue Heeler from puppy to the grave. She was a great dog, loved activities as well, and had to go everywhere. He is a Mopar guy as well, and she spent countless hours out on the garage floor, waiting for any action to start so she could quell the uprising. The postman and FedEx guy never stood a chance! Great breed of dog, but I happen to think they’re all pretty great!Unfortunately I'm far from the ideal owner for a Blue Heeler, but I'm the only one she was going to get. At least she has other dogs to play with.

We came very close to having to do the unthinkable very recently with Sasha, our 15 year old
Cairn Terrier - her health had gotten that bad and she was pretty much giving up.
This after treatment and consultation with supposedly the best vet in the region, too.
I had already resolved it in my mind. It was that close...
Then a chance meeting one morning when she was at work with my wife happened, when
the local vet happened into her business. Next thing she knows, he's on the floor with Sasha,
checking her over (he's elderly, so that's no small feat for him).
He suggests a couple meds and to "not give up on her yet"....so we didn't.
I'm happy to report Sasha is doing much better, short of hearing loss - she's got some of her
moxie back and things are almost normal again.
What a blessing.
It's hard to lose a loved and trustedSasha passed away this evening. Wife and I are crushed...
Goodbye, my girlie-girl.
