Some of "Pets"

Thanks for the pictures.

Those calves are adorable.

The pups too. The one in the middle, reminds me of my Charlie, she was a Yellow Lab. I miss her so much.

Yeah, that was Shelby.  She was the matriarch of the other two.  Yellow Lab also (though hard to tell in the photo with her ears back like that).  She was pushing 14 in that picture.  Best dog a man could ever ask for, and one of the most accomplished bird-dogs ever.  She loved everyone and every thing; a kinder, more loving creature has never walked the face of this planet.  She's passed on now, but her memory will always be with me.

The one to the left of Shel is an Australian Shepard, and the one to the right is an Australian Cattle Dog.  Needless to say, the livestock don't like those two very much (understatement of the month!).  But ol' Shelby could walk right out with the momma cows and their calves and lay down with the calves and momma's wouldn't even bat an eye.  Even the cows loved her!  They'd even leave their calves with Shelby, just like they leave another momma cow to babysit while the others go munch on grass.  And they'd get mad at her and start bawling her out if she ever wandered off, just like they do with another momma cow assigned babysitting duty. 

I love animals!
