Time to Break Some Ice!!!!

I am doing an icebreaker for my mama dog Cally, hope u like it!

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Age: 7

Name: Cally

Health issues: none

Gender: female

2. How did you come across or find ur dog?

Cally was born into an accidental litter on a small farm near sugarloaf mountain, Maryland. Her Mother was a working Australian Shepard who herded sheep and cattle for her owner everyday. Her Father on the other hand was a mini Australian Shepard who lived inside with the farmers wife. Once the couple found out that Peanut (Cally’s mother) was pregnant, they took complete responsibility, cut off all physical work, and put her on “pregnancy leave” until the pups were old enough to be sold. Literally thank the wonderful Lord for giving us the knowledge that this little farm was there because Cally was the last puppy left in the litter to be sold and she was, is, and forever will be one of the greatest blessings in our life.

3. What are their likes?

Cally loves her family and...well... let’s face it, every kind of animal feces she can get into. She likes to roll in it and eat it 🤦🏼‍♀ not much more to say here 🤷🏼‍♀

she also loves people food, lying on the couch, snuggling up to u when it’s cold, whining at u when she wants something and everything else spoiled dogs r obsessed with :joy:

4. What are their dislikes?

She doesn’t like thunder, the pool, and for some weird reason popcorn and pretzels!

5. Does your dog(s) participate in any dog sports or activities? If not then what kind of exercises does your dog(s) like to do?

Cally does not do any sports, but when I was little, I always dreamt of doing frisbee with her! I even wrote a book about it! :sweat_smile:

She likes jumping, and hiking. When she was young and slightly more athletic, she would bound after deer in the woods when we were on a trail. One time we called her for about ten minutes to come! I was so scared she had gotten lost! :scream:

6. Tell us 3 facts about your dog(s).

1. she smiles when she is scared

2. Since we live on a farm, most of our dogs live outside in the garage or barn. Cally is the queen B and the only dog that lives inside! :joy: :honeybee: So Spoiled!

3. After Whiley, Cally’s best puppy pal ed away, we decided to breed her and have some puppy’s so she wouldn’t be lonely. Cally had a litter of 7 and we kept 3. We were going to keep 2, but we couldn’t pick between Codey, Cipper and Cassidy, so we decided to keep all 3 🤣

7. Tell us an embarrassing moment your dog(s) had caused. If you don't have one or wish not to tell us then no need to answer this question.

Cally has never done anything embarrassing before, but she has been naughty.

One time, my mom had some leftover pizza. She had taken it out of the microwave to cool and then walked out of the kitchen. She walked back just in time to witness Cally jumping up onto the counter snatching the pizza, taking it back down to the ground, and gobbling it up in one bite. My mom was not happy but the look on Cally’s face was hilarious 🤣 she knew she had been a bad girl!

8. Where does your dog like to sleep?

She likes to sleep on the couch, at our bedside at night, on the rug or her special bed she got for Christmas!

We have a sheep skin rug that we put by our Christmas tree every holiday, it is so fluffy that she will lie on it all day and not move :sweat_smile:

What position do you catch them sleeping in?

Her favorite sleeping position is on her back with her legs curled into the air, its absolutely adorable!

Share a photo or drawing example if you want!

Example:

In a ball, upside down, on their side, contortionist, etc.

9. What kind of dog gear does your dog wear? Post some pictures of your dog(s) gear for us (they don't have to be wearing them)!

She wears a harness when we go hiking but otherwise she wears a western cross collar and a pumpkin for Halloween!

10. Does your dog(s) know any tricks? If so feel free to post a picture or video of it if you want!

Cally knows how to sit, stay, lie down, and in some cases shake, but she is a little rusty on that one. I also taught her to jump a little Line that she jumps by herself! It’s pretty adorable :heart_eyes:
