As some of you may remember, I mentioned I was looking into adopting an adult male Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) named Rubin.
Rubin's needs are not something I can meet. He had no socialization. Since I have kids; I need a dog that is either socialized, or is at a size that is manageable WHILE I socialize him.
Having a large dog with little ones and no control over it, is just asking for problems.
I was pretty bummed about things not working out with Rubin.
I had gone to PetCo, Sunday, and saw a pen full of puppies out front.
Of course I had my kids with me, so I HAD to stop and look at them, and I'll be darned if I didn't see this little head buried under a Rat Terrier and a Lab X pup..I knew right then and there this was meant to be our dog..
Meet our newest Roles Family member and part of the Hillbilly Mafia The "muscle": ROCCO...
Rocco is a Red Heeler, and I've chosen not to dock his tail, so it's intact.
He was born in June, so he's still just a pup and sleeps ALL the time.
I carried him around all day today..All my friends are placing odds on whether or not he'll still expect me to carry him around when he's 50+lbs..and nothing but eyes and teeth..lol
Heelers are pretty impressive, intelligent and protective dogs.
Should make a great addition to our family.
