Again, it's been a long time since I've updated. We were finally ready to add a new small dog to our crew in August, and we found the above girl on Petango. She was in a shelter in eastern WA, and an awesome rescue group got her out and met us near Seattle with her. Juna has been a great gal- she is a little spitfire! We knew from her markings that she was part cattle dog, but we also see Papillon and Rat Terrier. She has taken some time to find her place in the pack- she is the boss of everyone except Levi :) We obviously hadn't met her until she stepped out of the kennel and into our car, but she is great with the kids!We also found a new home for our Turtle cat. Turtle is a great girl, but she and Mojo were fighting daily. A good friend who lives very close took her to "try her out" with their kids and dogs, and she is doing great! So we are down to one cat, but up to six dogs again.
All is good here. The kids are doing 4H with Tonka, Roper and Juna and Tonka and Gypsy passed their TDI tests and work as therapy dogs part time.
Tonka is also still herding- he likes to be in a big area only.
Here's a photo of Tonka herding Roper in the water. Roper is probably herding the ducks that swim here...I will try to update again soon, but know that all is well here.
