Pet of the Week

Susie

Susie is a blue heeler . . . which does not mean she's depressed or an ankle-biter.*Blue heelers are Australian cattle dogs with a breeding history that includes blue merle collies and dingoes.*They have a blue speckled appearance and incredible stamina. Their job is*to stay with a herd of cattle, silently and dutifully following at their heels. Susie herself has not led any stampedes recently, but this 4-year-old purebred has high energy and playfulness. She will be easy to train,*is very responsive and well-behaved,*likes car rides and gets along well with*other dogs.
