She has a good life at home, and here at the Station when my son comes down to add to the operating 'team'...she has her own bed....(.inside.)....rides in the Hi-Lux..not on the back Coming from a Hawkes Bay hill farm in the North Island ...she had never seen snow close up...The reaction was amusing ..but I was not quick enough on the camera to get her ''bull dozing'' along in the snow......

FoxrunFarms02 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Lucy is a Red heeler/Australian cattle dog mix. She has a ton of energy. She'll go on a 3 mile walk, or chase the atv and a few minutes later wants to play fetch or chases her tail. My wife does agility contests with her. Her favorite activity though is going for rides or hanging out on something with wheels. When I was laid up for 6 months she never left my side in bed. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos convey her energy. Our recently-passed Ezra never left my wife's side when she was bed-ridden during cancer treatment. It sounds like Lucy provided the same therapy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Dad's Sheltie dog, Bucky, would go to the patch and pick his own! Not near as destructive as a trash-panda though. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more so into blue healers, and to be honest we weren't really planning on a cattle dog but she kind of just came to us but sure glad she did and we love her. We'd like to get her a heard or flock of something before she gets too old. It's crazy how animals/pets can sense things. Some days feeling down all I had to do was pet her and it took me back to a better time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was half red and half blue. Cool white markings. Red white and blue = liberty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had blood work done on Lucy to figure out why she's so small for being a heeler, but there was so many mixes it could not be determined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy WP Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I have not been able to get Dolly to ride with me in the tractor since she was a puppy and rode in the 1486. Today Lisa moved the last of the bales, so she can turn critters back out and she sent me this picture. Her old dog Dude rode with her everywhere and now she’s got Dolly riding around with her. The 2090 has a nice place for hounds to ride. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagan Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 A 1086 is a really good dog tractor. The back ledge behind the seat is pretty nice place for them too. our dog Hagan loved the 1086 and the 2290. Stacked hay with the 2290 and he would stand on the back ledge and put his chin on my shoulder. What a good dog can get by with. BTW my handle on here Hagan came from the Blue Healer Hagan we had. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she was 8 months old and helping me bale in the 1486 We had a female spaniel mix many years ago that hated to ride in or on anything. She would get down in the passenger side footwell and shake on the yearly trip to the vet. But, she was perfectly happy to stay home by herself even if we took the other dogs somewhere, and she never went off the place. Actually, if it wasn't for that, she would have been about the perfect dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am enjoying him most the time but he still chews things up pretty bad..........have to keep him locked up cause he gets bored and then its the closest thing he can get his mouth around. I have an emma but its my daughter 😉 enjoy that closeness i love a good dog to hang out with they are so much better than most people !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
