Bandit’s Little Shadow

Cay is acting like Bandit’s little shadow! Lucky she doesn’t have a tail that he can grab. Today she tried to nip at his heels a couple of times. That won’t last… I don’t think he’ll put up with it for long.

Stealing (Rubber) Chickens Again

The chicken thief is at it again! This morning when I got up, Bandit was bringing one of the rubber chickens to me. I let Bandit and Chase out in the yard and went to get my coat (spring in Minnesota!) to take Cay out with them and supervise. She quickly snatched up the rubber chicken […]

Three’s Company

This evening I took all three dogs out in the yard and they did fine, so I decided to take them up on the hill. I let the boys run up the hill as usual (inside the fence). I needed to be able to keep track of Cayenne to make sure I picked up all […]

Sheep Date

Today I found Cay with 2 rubber chickens, 2 bones, and 2 tennis ball bones in her crate! What a silly collector! We went up to Pine City, Minnesota for Bandit and Chase’s sheep herding lessons. I took Cayenne along in her crate in the back seat. She got to get out, see some sheep […]

Chicken Collector

With Cay on the leash, we walked 5 laps around the field today instead of 3. I didn’t have to pull her so much this time; she’s starting to get more comfortable walking along with me. Chase was play bowing and Cayenne wanted to chase the ball, but I had her on leash. Bandit focused […]

Settling In

Cay and I went for a walk and did outdoor chores this morning. She doesn’t want to eat her dry food now. I think she got spoiled by the canned food with the panacure powder that she had last night! This morning she ate about half of the dry food, then I put it away […]

Little Chicken Thief!

Last night I moved a crate for Zulu/Cay into the living room and was planning to have her spend the night there. But it got pretty late and the last time I took her out, she did not want to come back up the stairs. I think she was afraid that I would put her […]

Zulu Gets a Bath

We went for a walk this afternoon. Zulu ate, and she looks at me now. She still shies away from Bandit, who likes to be in charge. He charged and growled at her once, then I stopped him. I hope she likes water—she needs a bath! Zulu is still skittish, but is showing more interest […]

Zulu’s 2nd Day

Zulu slept in her crate (a large crate from my Bernese Mountain Dog Zena) last night. She loves the crate and likes to have towels to scrunch up. She hasn’t eaten anything since she’s been here, not even the cookies that she had in her crate in the car. She tried to bury those under […]

Bringing Zulu Home

Just a bit of background on Zulu…last summer, when I was still on the board of ACDRI, Deb Foster from the Henderson County Humane Society in Lexington, TN left a message on the ACDRI hotline requesting financial help. It was my day to pick up messages. Deb had a litter of 7 ACD-X puppies that […]
