Awww, I am sorry to hear all the things you have been facing recently. Australian Cattle dogs are wonderful and very smart. Have you thought of adopting another dog, perhaps one a few years older? I am a HUGE advocate for adopting adult and senior dogs from shelters and rescues. Many times these dogs are trained, their owners died or cannot keep them due to finances and are truly perfect pets! They do not deserve to end up in a shelter and are really fantastic animals, all health issues addressed, and ready to go. A dog or cat is so good for our emotional well being. You can also search Australian cattle dog rescues and maybe you will find something that way if wanted another one. Hang in there...when it rains it pours, BUT there is a new companion out there ready to fill that void if you are ready. |
