I went to look at some Australian Cowdog (AKA Blue/Red Heelers) puppies an hour and a half drive from my house. It ended up being an Amish farm. I find it ironic that I sent crypto to Paypal to purchase my puppy from an Amish family. I had to name my dog Crypto.
In this case my dog was bigger than the rest of his litter which all were very red and his mother was red. The Amish woman that we purchased him from told us they think my puppy had a different father and that the local dog which she said was an Australian Shephard got to their Red Heeler as well. My puppy was about 50% larger than all the others. He has a great personality and we decided we needed a puppy sooner to help us with the loss of our dog Diesel as I've written about in past posts.
I wanted to share that I have gotten a new puppy. We are also seriously talking about getting a miniature pig as well (housetrained believe or not).
I also think it is amusing the name I gave the puppy and the method of payment considering the family I purchase him from are Amish.
EDIT:
This is behind my computer chair. I put some pillows and things to stand on to see if he'd want to get higher and look out the window.
An interesting thing is that where he is lying is within a foot of where my dog Diesel passed away at as I held him in my arms as I lay next to him. New pup is helping with some of the hurt, but also helping remember.
I've walked him by Diesel's grave site twice today already and spoken to Diesel as I was nearby.
