Up for Adoption
Please check out my profile and click on Amber Pearl in the "my dogs" section.
She is a 9wk old Bullmastiff cross Red Heeler (cattle dog) who is in need of a good family... we would love to keep her but we can't give her the life she deserves as she'll need more exercising than I'm able to give her (being a full-time mum, it is hard enough to find time to do anything let alone getting the kids ready and motivated twice a day to walk a very energetic cattle dog).
Please send a message out to all your pals asking them to have a look at Amber's profile. She is an extremely smart and beautiful girl who just wants a loving home.
Thankyou to the community
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to our mydogspace community! It is unbelieveable the amount of support and comfort I have received from you, and as I just don't have the energy to write back to you all individually, I thought I'd just shout out "THANKS"! Sapphire would be happy to know that you all cared for her so much.
angry, hurt, confused
If you haven't read my last blog entry then this one wont make much sense...
I just can't believe my Sapphire is gone. I am hurting so much and nobody seems to understand.
People keep saying "it was only a dog".
But my dogs are my babies... they are my other children, not an "it".
To me, they were never "just dogs".
Sapphire was not "just a dog". She was my friend, my body guard, my confidant, my family, my sunshine, my BABY! I looked after her like she was my daughter - I cleaned up her poo, fed her, groomed her, played with her, taught her, patted her, raised her.
To her I was a mother.
I told Sapphire everything. I felt safe with her. I saved some of every meal for her. I loved her.
I would have trusted Sapph with my son's life. He loved her and she loved him - they grew up together, played together, slept together - only a month apart in age.
They got torn apart at only 1yr old. Best friends...
...Gage is missing her, but he's too young to know that she's gone.
Will he even remember his canine sister? The baby he shared a bed with, shared everything with, since he was just a few weeks old? His best friend?
How can we accept living with out her?
She was part of my day, everyday.
Everytime I went out, every meal I ate, each time someone knocked on the door, she was by my side; playing with me, sharing with me, protecting me.
Sapphire was my pillar, she held me up when things were tough.
She was just there, innocent and happy, loving me and my family, putting some sunshine back into my life, when all I could see was darkness.
When everything was falling apart she listened and comforted me, she played and walked with me, she cried, laughed, and shared everything with me.
Every good thing that happened she was there wagging her tail. Every time I was sad she was there resting her head on my lap.
Our family has been through a lot in the last 12months, and Sapphire was there, wagging her tail, to help me make it through.
She was loyal to me, and loved me unconditionally, as I did her.
How can I go on, knowing that she was intentionally taken away from me? She was just a baby, a puppy... my baby, my puppy.
How could anyone be so cruel?
I've got some terrible news...
Rusty our other dog was poisoned and died 6 months ago, and our beautiful Ruby dog was also poisoned and died 6 months before that.
I don't understand how anybody could be that cruel... our neighbour has always hated dogs, especially having them next door, but how could he kill them?... he threatened them nearly everyday, and even chased my Rusty with a stick on more than one occasion.
Ruby was 11yrs old, so she had a good, long life;
Rain Rain Rain!
Mum finally took me down to the dam again today! I ran around all the picnic tables making friends, while mummy and Gage had some lunch... they saved me some chips 
yum yum!
We hadn't been out for ages because it's been so cold and rainy... but the sun was shining today, and we had a great time, even though the wind was a bit chilly!
Bushman's Dam
Hey all! Today mummy took me to Bushman's Dam! We stayed there for 45minutes while I sniffed, and sniffed and sniffed EVERYTHING! I also marked my territory by squatting over some lush green grass, so all the other dogs new that I had been there. I played chasies some kids who were at the park, and licked my human brother Gage who was playing on the grass with me. I had soooooo much fun! Mummy will put the photos she took on mydogspace when she gets a chance. Bye for now, Love Sapphire.
