Rest Day: We Put the Biscuit in the Basket!

No workout today. It wasn't initially my intention, but we ended up spending a good portion of the day out at the Tennessee Valley Australian Cattle Dog Rescue in Georgetown, Tennessee. Our dog Ocho met a number of very friendly Heelers that were available for adoption and in the end we brought home a really sweet guy named "Biscuit". Biscuit is a Blue Heeler that is around 8 years old... the same age as our dog Ocho. He is sweet, loves a good belly rub, was pleasant but a little challenged walking on a leash and has thus far been a true gentleman in the house. We got lucky again. I will be back at the workout tomorrow.

Have a Great Day!

Dogs Love Dogs and the Workout

We woke up early and watched our friends leave for their summer home in Wyoming. Along with the humans left our dog Ocho's best friend Owen. We are hoping that despite everyone's busy schedules there will be a day that Owen will come visit Ocho at our new home in Chattanooga.... but who knows? Ocho has been very lucky. Since we have found him he has had a lot of canine friends to keep him company. Ocho will not have that in Chattanooga.

Enter the Tennessee Valley Australian Cattle Dog Rescue. We filled out the five page application and plan to visit the rescue to look for a young match for our own little Heeler. Biscuit is a good looking dog!!
