I came upon this picture as I was going through ancient photo files on our computer. My heart melts at the sight and even Aj smiles and sighs a little. She is our darling. Sara's the best dog we could ever have hoped for. Her daddy is a golden retreiver and her mother a blue heeler. What an awesome combination. She's playful, gentle, loving and omigosh she's so trustworthy-just like her retreiver ancestors. The heeler maternal blood brings us our protector, our roam-free farm dog who sticks to home like glue without the confines of a leash or fencing, and our sharp nosed ball scenting fiend. Aj and I want babies. The day for that is rapidly approaching in our life. It gives us great pleasure to know that in Sara, our children will have a playmate and guardian. Years from now, when Sara is a long time gone, buried under the old sycamores, I know when our children begin searching for a dog for their own families, they'll say, "I want a dog just like I had when I was a kid." In in their minds there'll be a brown eyed beauty wagging her tail and chasing balls through the prairie.
