BL - love your story of Kopje and your critters....yes, we do not imho have the land for a cattle dog..
What were we thinking?....LOL

We do have snow on my ground anyway and more than 1 inch. We got 6-7 inches a few days ago that has to some degree collapsed and melted somewhat.
I still have pretty huge piles of snow at the end of my driveway: driveway shoveled snow etc.

We have rain in the forecast Thursday night into all day Friday...will be interesting to see how my gutters do with that and my piles...we shall see as they say.

I can't complain though as we have had somewhat of a snow drought so far to date. But, much colder temps than average as well.

Luckily my now 9 1/2 year old Ollie can be a comfortable couch potato on days that are too cold to go outside. I'm guessing this happened for him around 8-9 yrs old. He always had very high energy till then.

Remembering my big dog Walter who lived to be 16 1/2, he too was high energy until about 10 or so, esp after both back knees needed ACL repair.

To me that's always a mature and nice marker in age (9-10), but also signals that the end could be anytime. :(

So our dear friends 'the Smiths' who have had blueys up near Cripple Creek, CO for 25+ yrs said:

Doofus is 6 going on 7 mid Jan 2025.

He is the only bluey in all of our years of that wouldn't/couldn't/can't/won't catch a snowball.

All other catchable objects bang catch. Balls sticks trees avalanches even. 

Raised full on in the snow as a pup at this elev.

We had his eyes checked and the whole 9 yards.

Name just stuck.

tsk I've truly been blessed with 3 remarkable dogs in my lifetime.

Cute as a Button's our childhood sheepdog. 15 yrs.

I got me a coffee table GI Joe mark.

They tell me only if U had let go.

Sambuka a flat coated retriever. 18 yrs

Sambuka had twice as many paw miles as my brokenlugs ever have.

Kopje is going to be about 30 seconds old if he doesn't simmer down there ham boy.

I'm the leader of the pack.

BL ..
A large family. His. Takes some patience...
I heard the phrase of late ... " Too blessed to be stressed". Trying to follow that, am I.

Home safe.
