These
are my two girls. The older is two and a half years old - her
name is Indigo Skye and she is an Australian Shepherd, blue merle
with copper trim - marble eyes brown/green with blue flecks. She is
beautiful!!! Indi came from a puppy mill, and was quite a
handful. She was not socialized at all and afraid of people -
especially men - now she is daddy's girl!
Indigo has had to learn all about what it means to learn "around" her
disabilities - and that has not always been easy. I am disabled with
a very rare illness, and at age 29, sometimes it is hard to get out
of bed! Indi (and now her sister) provide me with so much love that
every day is great - even when I feel horrible! Indigo is from a
"merle-to-merle" breeding - which can cause problems in the litter -
and she has worked hard and is still working at being the best girl
she can be!
Our love for her is what prompted us to adopt her sister, Cheyenne
Brooke, from the Painted Rose Ranch, this year. We heard that the
woman there had cancer and needed good homes for her puppies - and we
knew that Indigo needed a playmate - so it seemed the right thing for
all of us - so Cheyenne came here to make our home complete! Cheyenne
is also an Australian Shepherd, red merle with copper trim, and
green/blue/hazel eyes - and her daddy is quite the champ!!!
Cheyenne and Indigo plan to work on being half of a flyball team -
although at this point - Indigo chases the ball, and Cheyenne chases
her!!! They are beautiful and wonderful - but most of all - they are
my babies! Since we can't have children - we want to make a special
home for our girls...they sit on the couch - but they know "off" if
need be - and they work well together in training! We are proud of
our little girls - and love them with all of our hearts! They really
keep me alive!!!
