Welcome to the Family!!

We (well, I) decided that it was time to fully slip into the Missoula way way of life, so after much reservation from Matt, we chose to foster a dog in need (FYI, Matt, we are not giving her back). She had been fostered a couple times and returned to the shelter because she had too much love to spread (read, abundant energy). HER name was Blue, but I think it’s cruel and unusual punishment to name a little gal a dudes name (you’re my BOY Blue!). So we have been going back and forth about names. Most of you know that Matt rescued another dog named Charlie many years ago, who has made many cameo appearances on Big Sky Bound. Charlie lives the good life in Bozeman with his parents and we can’t wait to get the two pups together for a lively romp. Just so Charlie knows what he’s getting into, here are Blue’s stats:

Name : TBD
Dog Breed: McNab (Scottish Cattle Dog)
Sex: Female
Weight: 40lbs – lean mean cattle herding machine
Eye Color: Amber
Age: 2
Likes: Swimming, eating grass, running 3 minute miles
Does Not Like: Oscillating fans, playing fetch
Vertical Leap: 5’5″
Tricks: Sit, shake and will roll over for belly rubs (see below)
Annoying Habits: Chasing deer, jumping fences
Best Traits: Sweet and has NEVER barked (we are not sure if she knows how)

How un lady-like!

About to chase some deer on a hike in a burned down forest

So tired and hot she had to hide under the car

This took many takes and was not easy to pull off

I apologize in advance for how many spots this new little gal will get in upcoming posts. Dog parents can get a little crazy I have heard….
