Introducing Bosworth
So I started my search for a young female. For some reason, all of our Sheepies have been female. My goal was a year or younger. Maybe a dog that was being considered for confirmation, but later being determined not a good candidate. You never know where a lead will come from. A friend of a friend happened to be having a litter. Fortunately someone backed out when the puppies were two weeks old because they couldn't get a girl. So we agreed to take a boy. For some reason, this was a big decision for us. Our Golden Retrievers are always males, so it shouldn't have been a big deal, right? Boz has been with us for 3 weeks. He is a typical friendly, happy Sheepie. He knows his name and can sit on command. He loves the Bigs (Riley, Banker and Rogue). Anything they do, he will do. Potty training is a work in progress. He met my children and their dogs. And my grandson! For the 4th, we had 9 dogs, 4 cats, and 10 people at the lake. It was great. The sad thing for me is our vet is retiring. In fact, Boz was his last vet visit last week. We have been with Doc for 26 years, so he is family. Our dogs love, love, love to go see him. They drag me into the office! Unfortunately, he has a very advanced cancer. Any prayers for him to have an easy time, how ever long that will be, would be appreciated. |

| Congrats on the new pup!! Sorry to hear about your Vet, yes they become part of the family too--especially after 26 years ! |
| Boys are fun, but you may find yourself cleaning front legs a bit more often, tend to be a bit messy. Girls are an easy wipe. Congrats on Boz, fun time at your place! |
How exciting!!!  |
| It's fun to watch him with the Bigs (Riley is an 11 y.o. Sheepie, Banker is a 5 y.o. Golden, and Rogue is a 2 y.o. Lab mix. They are teaching him the ropes. Boz is already getting too big to walk under Banker, his favorite hangout spot. I caught Boz with his giant paws on the edge of the counter this morning! Oooooophs! That behavior will be going away. I am dog sitting my son's dogs this week. Reese is a Bernese Mountain dog and Scallywag is an Austrailian Cattle Dog. Boz has yet to meet Kit Kat, who is a Chichihua belonging to my other son. So far, Boz thinks all dogs are big, including himself. The cats are starting to train Boz to leave them alone, which is good. It's fun! |
| socializing is going nicely! Will be interesting with the Chihuahua. Neighbor Chi plays with dogs much larger, he knows to move aside when they flop on their back. |
| We have kept the Chi at our house, several times, for a week at a time. He claims a couple of spots, next to me when possible, or up high. It will be fun. Boz put his paws up on the edge of the counter this morning. He is growing so fast! And hopefully won't repeat the behavior. |
| Congrats on the new puppy. The "bigs" are going to get very busy with puppy fun. Sorry about your vet. |
