My name is Alex and I am a professional pet parent. I have worked with and had many critters over the years but I am truly obsessed with my Australian Cattle dogs. I hope sharing my experiences help anyone thinking of getting this breed and those currently raising one of these raptors!

Hey everyone! Me and Mr. Man is camping and having a blast mixed with a lot of anxiety! This is his first trip out where it is pretty crowded. Lots of noise, dogs, and strange creatures riding all sorts of gizmos. He's had a few reactive moments but more good ones where he just watches. Definitely have to rework our "focus" command. He's handled things pretty well, considering the amount of things thrown at him. I will post our adventure soon! I do have a question for my fellow hikers and campers. What harnesss are we all using? I found a pair for the girls I want to try out (hopefully, they fit right, I've returned 3 already) but am looking for a new sturdy one for the boy. I love his Atlas one, but when he has moments, I don't like how it pulls under his arms. I'm looking for a step in type one. I think that's what you call them. And one that has the option to attach the leash on the front. Let me know your favs in the comments! I lost the list I made from you all the last time I asked. 😆 Much love to you all! ❤️❤️❤️ ...and yes, the girls are pissed I didn't take them. Darn, it means I have to go again!

Three years ago today I said my see you laters to this beautiful soul. I still can not believe it's been three years and I still struggle without her. I know time helps heal but man these babies leave a mark on your heart. I know Silver is rockin it in doggie heaven, and keeping her brothers in check along with any German Shepherd that is there lol She always had to keep the trouble makers in line and for her a all German Shepherds were trouble lol. I miss her so much. I miss talking to my best friend and the snuggles. She was the best snuggler. Love you baby girl. Forever and always. ❤️

I have been having a rough time with work lately. Dogs with behavior issues, senility, and neglect. But these three beautiful babies are the reason I keep on going through it all. The hair, the poop, the God knows what this is moments. These three have been doing so well with staying upstairs with the spare human and are so happy more activities are happening with the nicer weather. Side note, Miss Clea has officially lost a pound! Might not sound like much, but it is. Only 4 more to go! (6 if needed, but we will see how she is with 4 more first) She can tell she's on a diet and glares at the weak links when they don't give her extra snacks. 😆 Hopefully, I will get some videos out soon. I do have something special planned for Easter if the storms don't hit. Hope you all are well! ❤️

Happy birthday to our 4th dog! Fang Fang turned 16 today. This poor old man is starting to be skin and bones, and we are still struggling with his pancreatitis issues, but he's hanging on. He's cattle dog tuff like the rest of the crew. He got some extra special food today and ate what he could, but he is just happy to sleep and get all the pets he can. Once in a while, he still tries to run through the yard with the rest of the dogs. He really is an amazing cat and very thankful he's still with us. Happy birthday, Fang! ❤️

Happy smiles all around here today! These kids are so happy the weather is getting warmer. I'm hoping it stays like this. I'm ready for a hike in the woods. Hope you all had a good weekend!

Clea finally slept through the night and gave in to her meds. No poopy accidents, and she had a decent poo this morning. You know you're a dog mom when you get excited to see a normal poo. 😆 The second incison that was starting to get red around it is now normal color. She is a little woozy from her meds, but she is more alert and playful and, of course, loves showing Mama her pearly whites. She is doing so good! She's still mad that I won't take her for a walk, though. ❤️ #blueheeler #australiancattledog #dogmom

Update on Princess Clea. We always joke, saying she forgets she is a cattle dog because she's a bit lazy, but she recovers just like one. Meaning the girl is fighting her meds and not wanting to take it easy! Poor girl has had tushy problems and accidents all night and morning. Her one incison is healing nicely while the other is a bit irritated. She's mad she can't go for walks. Pacing, she hates her new beds even though she loved them before the surgery, crate isn't happening, all sorts of fun things trying to keep her content. Jumping up on the couch is where she is happy and will actually rest. But she's eating and drinking great and very clingy, which we don't mind at all. We just have to get through this and pray no more squirts happen. 😆

Just got the call! Princess Clea is now awake. She did amazing, but she won't stop panting because she's so nervous. Her dental went great. All her teeth shine up nicely, and there are no major issues, just a lot of build-up. Her two cyst, the vet said they were 100% fat cyst. The one we were concerned about was actually wrapping around the muscle, and that's why it felt concerning. I'm still glad we removed it because if it kept growing, I would have had to do it later. The vet said she just grows special fat cyst, you know, so we can dote on her more. ❤️🙏 She will be home in a few hours after a little more observation, and then she gets to wear the doughnut. Thank you again to everyone for all your love and support.
