yellowlabsrule Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 This was on doggie days, but I never told you! Sorry, but now you know! And I'm going to see her TODAY! MAYBE, MAYBE.... 416697- Dog:Border Collie/Blue Heeler Roseburg,OR 541-679-0197 Nancy [email][email protected][/email] 02-18-2003 Name: Sable Age:3.5 yrs Sex:F Size:L Delete I have a wonderfull dog that I need to find a home for. Sable is utd in shots and is licensed. She knows basic obedience and is housebroke. She is good with older children(over 6yrs) and is good with other dogs and cats. She is very loyal and needs room to run and fetch a ball or frisbee. Asking 50.00 adoption fee. We are going to see her on thursday! Tomorrow, tomorrow! Ok, this is some more info we got when we called about her... She is spayed, "smarter than a whip", she has done agility and was wonderful, she has the body of a border collie, the coloring of a blue heeler, her hair is a mixture of both, and she is a medium sized dog weighing ABOUT 45 lbs. She also knows basic obedience! She sound great, but we will see... on thursday we will go see her (as you know), then if we like the looks of her (personality, etc.) she will come for a visit to our house to meet our animals. I will keep you updated! [size=7][color=red]TODAY, TODAY![/color][/size] I could hardly sleep last night, I was SO exited! It took me a hour or two to get to sleep and I got up early (for me anyway! ). I am going to Wildlife Safari to volunteer from either 10-4 or 1-4 then after that we're going to see Sable! I'm hoping WS takes my mind off it for a little while, but I hope I'm not to tired afterward. TODAY, TODAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlabsrule Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 Ok, I will try to describe her (I know it isn't as good as a pic, but it's all I got.) She has big ears, she is white with black spots on her back, little brown spots on her legs, and VERY sweet. Sorry, I can't really remember, I was looking at her heart not her body! She tried to follow me to the car and she looked longingly...I love her so much I'm crying I wish she was here right now beside me... THANK YOU LORD! And all those who have supported me and given me advise! I don't know what I'd had done without you Oh, and forgot to say...I found my puppy stuff (for when I was going to get a puppy last year) and it's adjustable and I think it will fit her! I got two kong's and guess what? Some guy was getting rid of chain link fence, posts, and a gate that was previously used as kennel! FOR FREE! :o :D Not sure I can get those kongs away from Winnie though! She is VERY perplexed! But she's having fun, cause her tails wagging.

Hey your lucky....I had to wait 2 weeks before I could pick Charlie up :roll: Wish you all the best with your new bundle of joy, by the sounds of her she sounds a darl :D :D :D .....keep us posted and send in those darn photos :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malamum Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Not long now, the weekend in half over. Let us know how you went on Monday. Don't worry about her going to someone else, I'm sure the current owner could tell how genuine you were and how much you wanted her, two day's shouldn't make a difference.

alicat613 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I was wondering why is she getting rid of the dog? Very odd...her response about she wouldn't give her away but anything could happen?? Whew...did you say BC/heeler?? Whoa girl, hope you have a lot of energy and patience!! What is this chain link kennel you are building? Is she not to be a house dog (as all dogs should IMO)? Oh and what is Wildlife Safari?? It sounds very fun!

yellowlabsrule Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 1. she was getting rid of her because she lives in the city and wanted better for her. 2. Yes, a BC/ACD 3. The chain link kennel is for when we are gone, we put Winnie in the kennel so she isn't running around, and yes Sable is a house dog. 4. Wildlife Safari is where I volunteer, it is a drive through zoo. 5. [color=red][size=7]WE GOT SABLE LAST NIGHT![/size][/color] Here she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sable: [img]http://www.yellowlabsrule.caviesrule.com/images/sable.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.yellowlabsrule.caviesrule.com/images/sable_2.jpg[/img] Well, I don't think I'll be doing much computor anymore because she is literally hanging on my arm. :lol: P.S. If you can't get them, go to my website, photo page 2 and 3. And the lady didn't even charge us the $50 adoption fee! And she gave us all her toys! Well, I think Winnie's a little jealous, and hoping she'll go away, but they're getting along pretty good. She is definetely a frisbee dog! She jumps up HIGH and catches it, does this little twirly thing and lands. I hope she'll turn into my agility dog. Her french commands are: Down: Ku-shay, Sit: Ausie, Come: Opee-a that's how they're pronounced, not sure how they're spelled in french She did great last night, I was a little worried that she'd be yelping, but she was good! She can FAST! And she's smart! makes me look My babies Winnie and Sable (Winnie the fat one! LOL) (Sable:40 lbs! but tall as Winnie!) Well I think I actually got her tired! :o :lol: She's pooped out! :lol: 8) Sorry the pics are so big :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicat613 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Awww I'm so glad for you! I know you've been wanting another dog, and this sounds like a nice situation. I'm glad the lady was honest about not being able to care for her dog right. Some people would just keep the dog unhappy, rather than find a home that was right for them.
