My wife always adopts dogs that need a home. She believes we should rescue rather than buy pure beds. However , we were given an Australian Shepard several years ago by a friend who moved out of the country.
Katie got along well with our other pets and was the smartest dog we have ever had. She died unexpectedly a year ago and my wife was distraught. She said she didn't want to replace her and I let it go.
Last night I was at Petsmart and this couple had an Aussie pup. She told me they were selling it to someone they were meeting there. I asked if they had anymore pups and she said yes.
I told her my story and she said if I would drive out ro her place and see if I liked her other pup, she would sell it to me for $200.
I went and checked out the pup and she was great. I bought her and gave it to my wife earlier today.
She loves this puppy and cried and I gave her a great anniversary.
Took away the pain of the game today (somewhat).
This is our new dog Sadie
