Smile A Special Cattle Dog...

I lost my first blue-heeler over the summer and i just thought i'd share what i wrote about her.Her name was Patch.



For those of you who dont know what ''ACD'' means it means Australian Cattle Dogs.or some of ya'll may know them as Blue-Heelers or Red-Heelers.Red heelers and Blue heelers are the same dogs but diffent colors.






You know when a dog comes into your life and touches it like no other..You know you have an ACD.I'm sure all of you have felt that way about your ACDs,and you know the pain that you have felt when they had to leave this unfair world.I did feel that way when my girl left me and i did not know what to do.Patch was my number one dog,she never let me down and she always tryed harder then any other dog that i know or have seen.She would do anything that i did/have asked of her.She was a one of a kind dog..I could trust her with almost anything knowing she would never let anything happen..and if it did i knew she would take care of it.I still cry sometimes when i think of the hurt of the thought of not having her still with me anymore,but i know with time it will be come easyer for me and it wont hurt as much as it sometimes does.Some people could not believe how trained she was and how well she listened to me and how she just knew what to do.It just feels soo awesome that i was the one that God chose to have in this dog's life.I know it would have been a bad story if someone else had goten her and not have knowned about the breed and how to deal with them.I have to say that knowing that she was my first ACD i did learn alot from her and i am still learning alot,and always will.It just seems that i was the lucky one to have found such a great dog and had her for as long as i did have her.Patch i miss you alot and probably always will,but just know that i love you! and i would give anything to have you back! Her fav thing to do was chase a ball.

That's a wonderful tribute.

Losing a pet can be so hard, but it helps when we have happy memories of them.

RIP Patch.

Re: A Special Cattle Dog...

These tributes make me cry. That was beautiful. But I love reading about the unbreakable and loving bonds people have with their beloved dogs.

DId you train Patch to herd cattle or was she trained for another sport?
