Had a blue heeler when my daughter was born. I took my daughter's baby blankets home from the hospital and put them in his bed. Wife and daughter spent a few days there before they came home. Anyways he slept with her blankets, from day one she was his. He would whimper in the middle of the night and wake us up, a few minutes later my daughter would start crying. He figured out when she was going to wake up and figured we needed to know.

It is amazing to me how a dog in a dead sleep can hear you opening up cellophane to eat something. I always share part of what I am eating, as they are a big part of my life. But their hearing is in over drive even while asleep too.

But their hearing is in over drive even while asleep too. When I get on the UTV and turn it on the fuel pump runs for a second or two. The blue heeler can be asleep several hundred feet away and will come running. If I go ahead and crank up and pull off before he gets there he will yip a couple times to let me know to wait for him and if you are not careful he will knock you off the seat when he jumps on at full speed. |

They feel they are such a big part of the family and just cannot believe that they are not included in all that goes on. They are just so loyal.

I had an Australian Shepard that traveled to more states than most humans. He would pretty much sleep on the floor boards on the passenger side of the pickup. No matter where we had been, how long we had been on the road, and how fast asleep he was, about half a mile from the house he would jerk up wide awake. He knew we were home.

"Queen" Lina in her twilight years. Once in a lifetime dog. Classey on sheep, authoritative on cattle. Broke the mold.  |

Every dog we've ever had were "throw aways" by someone else. A few years back we ended up with a pup that we couldn't find the owner, so we took it to the vet to get checked out. Vet said she was part Chow, part Shar pei, about 5-6 months old. This dog went everywhere with me, was very obedient, and one of the the best attributes was she would set at a gate and not let anything through. Saved me getting on and off a tractor many times.
One day, setting in the truck, I was just resting not feeling too energetic. Soon Ali was being a nuisance putting her head under my arm, wining continuously. I opened the door to let her out but she wouldn't go. This happened a few other times, and one day I realized she recognized my blood sugar was low because I had just tested it when she began her routine. From that day on I became more aware of her responses.
What is really amazing is to train a service dog can often cost $20,000. To this day it still amazes me how she was so aware.
Wow, what a great dog she is. One like that cannot be replaced. Each time I get a dog, I get so attached to them. It is a known fact that people that own dogs that are close to them, effects our health positively. But one that helps you with your medical conditions is just super special. |

If I want the whole pack of cheese crackers, I best just stay inside the house to eat 'em. |

My dogs are inside too. They have a pet door that they come and go. I have just learned to share and they get part of it. We are just one big happy family.

My dog is only allowed in the back porch/laundry room. There is no door or barrier to keep her out of the rest of the house. But she knows where she is allowed and never tests it.

d2cat, I would love to see a picture of your dog. I am trying to picture what the cross looks like. Sounds like a super dog!
