It was a great day for Carter today because we woke up bright and early to hurry down to the feed store to get his "new bigger puppy." Carter says that we bought the puppy to kill the snakes and the bears in the mountains. Every cow needs a cow dog to protect it right? This one is a bit more sturdier than the last one. I had to constantly save the last one from Carter being to rough. When we got to the store she was one of two queensland heelers left out of a litter. I got both out but her sister kept running away and hiding and had her tail between her legs most of the time. This one was friendly, played and was mostly happy to see us so we picked her. The other one was a more pretty blue heeler but not as nice.
We got her home, and yes Jason told me to go pick her out, and she has been happy ever since. It has taken a week for Jason to pick out a name for her but I think he finally settled on "Chispa," pronounced (cheespa). It is spanish for sparkle. She had a spark in her eye that the other puppy did not have. Carter thought we were calling her cheese fold, and he said she was not a cheese fold, she was a puppy! We took her down to the farm yesterday to have her first experience with the cows and she was a bit chicken so she stayed by me and Keaton the rest of the chickens. On our way home she got car sick and threw up all over Jason's pathfinder. She threw up when I brought her home from the store too. Who knew that puppies could get car sick?! She is learning pretty fast from Jason's training. He can get her to come and sit already and he thinks she'll make a really good cow dog when she is trained.
