So Fl Sunshine

When I saw this thread I thought it couldn't be 'the' Red Dog. I am sorry, so sorry. He is a legend, just look at the replies and see the mark you and he have left and be proud. My eyes are full of tears, I am so sorry.

Wow! And I thought it got hot in South Florida. I imagine if I was there I would consider clipping too. I would ask those that have already clipped how they feel about it and then I would consider the sun and if it was an issue. Some pups get sunburnt esp on the nose around here, I would imagine thats a major issue there. I've heard that its not unusual to wear a long sleeve shirt to the beach in Australia due to the sun damage there as close as you are to the equator. Clipping is very common in South Florida, and not to worry, they grow that stuff right back...

More pictures please! What a cutie pie.

Hold overnight: yes Times Available: Mostly open. Other information: Molly, 2 cats and one school age child in house. [transferred to database]

First dog as a child: Cocker Spaniels, 5 of them, and then as a teen my own Springer… what was I thinking! She jumped the fence every day… First dog as an adult: BC; Molly is my first dog at 38 yrs, but I like to count the fosters too. Why a BC? I fell in love with one at 21 yrs and decided that when I was ready for one that was the dog. Did you do research? Yes, I stalked the board for months reading then I offered to foster to make sure I could do it and it was the breed for me. A year of fostering and we have Molly. It was a win win decision. And I'm very happy that I did it. First BC: Molly What made you want to get another? Slow down there… we are happy with the one for now. - What have you done with your dogs? Right now we are just working on the basics, reinforcing the commands she seems to already know and learning what the boundaries and rules are in my home. I hope to try her on sheep if I can find a farm around here. How many BC's? At once? I had two male border mixes at 4 and 5 months. Siblings in foster. Talk about feeding off each other! I fondly recall them as ‘My boys’ How many do you have now? Just the one thank you. What "quirks" have you noticed with all your dogs? Molly ‘talks’ to me when she means ‘no thank you mom’ uhu not going to bed right now thank you. Ruf, ruf. City dog or county dog? City dog. I would love to have a piece of land in Murphy SC and plan to one day. Would you ever get another breed? Maybe. But probably not.

Oh don't sweat it, I have a life too (although I seemed to have misplaced it with Molly) Anything within an hour & a half radius is ok with me, it wouldn't be more than once a week and that only if it makes sense. So she's seen sheep already? Well, then it will be all the more interesting. Your right we have mostly food farms, orchards, corn and plant nurseries, and the occasional cattle ranch. And not too many of those, a lot of farmers down here couldn't afford to turn down the money they were offered for their land during the recent construction boom.

Molly loves belly rubs!.... (Turbo kitty) Chloe is a rescue, and she is a race cat... she runs through the house over the furniture with Molly sliding across the tiles trying to catch her. It took a few days for the adjustment but they play well together. My older cat just walks around with a constant low growl (sour pus) I've been asked if Molly was blind also, but she can see a bug a mile away. No you can't have her! It took me a year to find my forever and I'm not giving her up....

Welcome WE NEED PICTURES!

Well its time I came out of hiding, most may know me from the other board, I’ve fostered for about a year now and finally failed and I might add happily. Molly is my second foster from Mary P and my 6th since I started and we are very happy with her, thank you Mary. Introducing Molly…8 months…. Ok Mom, squirrel is DEAD! Molly recently ‘discovered … mud… Mommy, mud is delicious… Once we have clothed ourselves in mud to hide our doggie smell, we hunt the dragonfly When we are done with the hunt (and bathed) we go home to play with our kitty “Chloe” Now I have read from some posts here that letting her exert her energy as she sees fit.. ie the dragon fly hunting may not be the best thing for her. Esp with her present recall and obedience skills. (I have curbed the desire to car chase thank god) I’d love to try her on sheep but I live in South Florida… I have heard of a farm in Boca Raton that allows you to try your herding dog on their sheep/livestock for a fee but no one seems to know just where they are or the name of the farm… has anyone heard of this farm in Boca or know of a good sheepdog training farm reasonably close to me? Amy Molly has beautiful eyes, one brown and one blue... but you can't really see them in these Mary has a better picture of her eyes.
