Stumpy is probably glad I am not working with dogs because she knows that would mean another furry face in the house that needs attention. Attention that belongs to her!!! She loves four legged company, but she is not so good at sharing laptime. She does ok, when we dogsit, though.
I toss the ball for Stumpy, a few times a day, off the deck. Here she is at her retrieving best...
On your mark.... GET SET....
Here she comes!
closer...
Oops!! I am going to lose her!
Danged thorns!!! @#$%^&!!! things are EVERYWHERE!!! Including Stumpy's foot!
Ready now!!!
Easily distracted
REALLY ready!
A treat signals the end of the game (read: distracts her from the ball)Stumpy jumps for it..
Naptime!!!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
Yahooo! I got to see my girl in action. I love it. I get a treat to stop the game too! If only you lived closer..
PS.. Did you see Deborah's blog with Buffy the Blue heeler giving a bunny a bath.. head over. It's great.

I love Stumpy spam! She is a great looking dog. I've rescued my share of dogs and horses, but never a human. That seems like a worthy cause. Depending on the human. : )
Stumpy..
I can't get enough of your photos.. running, jumping... If only you made a calendar.

GJ, I can't do her justice in my pictures. she has so many aspects to her personality.
Sam, there hasn't been a dog yet, that could keep up with her! she hasn't met any iggy's, whippets, or greyhounds, though.
Thanks, Khyra! I wish I had the skills and patience your mom has!
Heelers, Stumpy spends tooooo much time in my lap!
Deborah, she's an ACD and minpin...whose idea was that?
Tula, that chair isn't quite big enough for the both of you, but there's room on her recline...(don't tell her I said so!)
Norwood, when I get back this summer, we will have to be sure to arrange a play date... or a camping trip..to maine, on the beach...ARGH!!! I miss it all, it's so easy to get carried away. A playdate anywhere would be good! A calendar is a great idea! Maybe something the rescued/adopted heelers we know could do together to benefit some of our rescuers? food for thought...
Sandra, as I told Deborah, I have no camera skills... she is cute though, and a clown, 24/7.
