There are sled dogs.
And there are house dogs.
Older dogs, such as Scooby.
Aging house dogs, our beloved Satch.
And my shadow, Zip.
There are sled dogs we attempted to make into house dogs.
House dogs at Russ-Stick Acres are always free to roam.
No collars.
They are a part of the family.
They spend the day with Rustic Russ.
And they also follow the rules.
Be nice to your neighbors.
This week, I had a plan to add another house dog to the mix.
Call it an early Christmas present.
A Great Pyrenees.
Even though we feel Duke would have made a wonderful addition to our farm, we have decided to hold off for now.
Our older dogs need to have their time ~ and our attention.
However, if you are a Great Pyrenees lover, and have room in your heart and home for a big, loveable guy, please call about Duke.
Tell Karen I sent you…she’ll welcome the call.
Until tomorrow ~ God willing,
Woodswoman
Great fun! And thanks for your waiting on Duke. He is lovely and I am sure he can use the plug on his behalf. May I offer up an excellent site for those entertaining the idea of inviting a rescue Pyrenees to join their family? GPRNC.org
Click on the library link. Read, read , read. No matter the breed those of us who add a pup to our life be it rescue or breeder owe it to the pup and ourselves to do our homework as you have!
