Georgie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Georgie
Age: Twelve months old
Gender: Female Breed: Kelpie
Home: Geelong, Australia
 
   Hi, my name is Georgie, I live in Geelong, Australia. I am a twelve-month-old female silver Kelpie. I have lived at my new house with my friends (owners) and my surrogate big sister, who is also a kelpie of six years old, since I was five weeks. I knew when I arrived at my new home that I would be spoilt. I am now finally big enough to jump up on the couch with my big sister and cuddle up with her at night.

    I am a cheeky girl, although I would call it helpful ... eg, I love to bring in the washing off the clothesline but for some reason I get told it's not my job. I also help my owner with the cleaning of the chicken house daily, I help her "round" them back up into their coop. I know I am a sheep dog, but chicks are still fun to work with. I have a wonderful leap, (always jumping the veggie patch fence to pick the strawberries) but that's another job that I get told isn't mine.

    I have recently passed my beginner's certificate at school which I attend every Sunday with Lucy my sister. My owners think that with my strawberry stealing antics (fence jumping) that I could one day learn how to do agility and flyball. I am a very quick learner, I can shake with my right hand and I give "five" with my left. My favorite toys are my Buster Cube and my Kong toys. I love going for walks and in the warmer months, swimming at the beach.

    It's a bit too cold for swimming at the moment but "chasing the hose" is just as much fun. Well I had better go now, it's nearly time for my daily "walkies" woof woof. That means I'll get my favorite smacko treats.
