Thanks Baz, will do. Just waiting to hear back from the rescue. Had to complete a two page application answering multiple questions like # of people in home, hours there vs away, training, exercise, etc. We understand the reasons, my mother would do the same when people would visit to look at the Aussie puppies she would sell. The breeding gig got too much for her so she stopped. Her last dog threw a litter of 13 and she is a tiny thing. That was a total mind blower leave all of us scratching our heads. I honestly think that was the straw that broke the preverbal camels back. Mum was a total basket case until she was able to place all pups. Currently, the have 7 at the ranch. Along with 100+ goats, 6 sheep, 2 mini burrows, 2 lamas, 4 cats........ The list goes on.
Anyway, here are some more pics and if everything goes as planned, I foresee a (cough, cough) possible ( cough) sick day in our future. nudge, nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean, say no more........

My personal favorite pic.
