Some critters we have known

All dogs are special in the eyes of their owners whether they have different coloured eyes, one floppy ear or only three legs, we love them just how they are.

After nearly 40 years of marriage, we have been blessed with the love of many dogs, cats and other four legged critters.

All have had their unique qualities from my little “black and white flash” Pixie who could run like the wind, to Buck the blue cattle dog who would swim a creek to bring back cattle on the other side and who, on his days off, loved to field in a family game of cricket.

Whatever you ask, they do. Not out of obligation but out of unconditional love. Their demands are simple – love me, feed me and I will follow you anywhere.

This story brought back memories of a cattle dog we had when I was a child. He also played cricket. He never asked to bat or bowl and happily fielded for the duration of the game. What a gem.
