SteelersFan found a darling puppy over in Nonpodunk County and we were within millimeters of adopting her -- mostly Australian Shepherd, the rest who knows what, about 12 weeks old, about 10 pounds.
However, MatiasDad has been looking for a pooch to take hiking, and he wanted to adopt a smart, loyal, affectionate, working breed girl puppy in time for hiking season this year, and SteelersFan happily handed over the adoption papers.
Her name will probably be Joey -- Jo for Sweetheart, Joey for the Australian part. I lobbied for Sydney but was outvoted.

Puppies are way cute. Casey has a cousin, which is almost as good.

Joey and Matias will be bestest buds, I'm sure!
But Matias better explain to Joey that he also has a bunch of squirrel BFFs.

I have a feeling me and Joey are going to be bestest of buds!

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Re: Almost got Casey a sis . . .
For a day or two anyway, my temporary avatar features MatiasDad and Joey. She's such a doll! Vet says she'll probably end up around 30 pounds. I think she'll be closer to 25, but who knows.

Not to beautiful Joey -- I scritched her plenty on the way home from Nonpodunk County.

Nothing that ES has will ever rub off on me, including mange. OK, especially mange.
