Ringo Has A Home

January 19th, 2010

Ringo has a Home!

All things are great in the Aussie world today, the planets are lined up just right and Ringo has a new home to spend his final days in. He will be going to a new family in Illinois, the same family that adopted Callie from us a few months ago. Ringo will get to have a great sister to play with and a home with children. And a great Mom and Dad!

Hopefully we will have lots of pictures to show in a few weeks of this special Aussie.

Aussie Home Alone

January 18th, 2010

Ringo w/Mom

We have been contacted about a senior aussie whose owner passed away on Jan. 4th. Ringo is a 14 year old male. He is house trained, does not need to be crated, and still loves to chase a ball. Ringo was groomed at a groomer regularly, fed a great diet and kept vetted. He is on the smaller side weighing around 40 lbs. Right now he is living alone at his previous owners home, with someone stopping over about 4 times a day. I can only think that he is feeling some loss at this time.

Ringo Alone

If anyone is interested in giving Ringo a home he would be very thankful. He is just looking for someone to love and take care of him for the rest of his senior years. It would be a small commitment for someone but would mean the world for Ringo as he still has love to share. Please contact me, david.e.thurman {at} gmail(.)com
