We didn’t choose which dog was going to belong to whom, the dogs did the choosing. I had wanted a blue merle female and thought for sure that Jewel would be mine, but Ollie had other ideas. He chose me and there was no going back.
Jewel on the other hand, seemed to gravitate to Russ. He loved her from the start! The dogs had chosen their people.
These two seemed meant for us. Little did we know at that time the trials we would face with them but more importantly, what we would learn from them.
The love we have given them has been returned to us tenfold. No matter how old we are, or where we are in life, it just seems life is better with a dog (or two).

Would love to hear from you. Please, no recommendations for harsh training methods. If you disagree with my methods, perhaps you might write your own blog.
