So…still traveling and decided to let you peeps know I finally decided to get another pup after Roxy passed.
I looked at a minimum of 50 pups before I decided which one to bring home and give a new life for me and the pup.
So…I wanted a pup that would keep me active and would have to be a smart one.
Meet Phoenix brought home from the Maricopa County Animal Shelter. She is a 2 year old Texas Heeler. That is a mix between a Australian Stub Tail Cattle Dog and an Australian Shepard. She came home about 45lbs and in the apx 5 weeks I have had her she has put on about 5lbs so she is right at 50lbs now.
I named her Phx just as I did my red nose pit. Same situation. Not because I got her from the Phx shelter but because she has a new life and rising from the ashes.
She is full of energy and always wants to be by my side. A little tough pup for sure. A regular roughian. Lol.
One thing that trips me out is she can grab your wrist or arm like she has monkey hands. Its the damnedest thing but as I talk to other Cattle Dog owners they say…yep…a breed trait. Never had a heeler before so I didnt know.
Anyhow…All is well in our travels and she loves going new places. We are in Idaho outside of Yellowstone.
Here are some pics
