    Default The latest in Bench Dogs

    A friend of mine posted a rescue dog picture on facebook the other day, two very cute Boarder Collies that had to go as a pair and the next day as they were about to be put down. Ahh too soft by far so we now have two dogs from the country (Musswelbrook), one Benny is so timid he is scared of push bikes, prams, people and loud noises. He will be right with a little TLC and then they will both be found homes. We are just foster parents for a while. This arvo the young guys next door were making a bit of noise with there cars so while I was sitting with my leg almost in the gap under the bench Benny managed to hide without me even feeling him go past. Now seems to be his favorite spot. Spot, that's the name of the other guy, who in comparison is pretty brave.

    Very tempting to bring one or two of them into this home Claw but we've had five of them together before so I dunno if I want that sitcho again under these circumstances. Hope they find a good home

    Oh No that would easily do it for me.

    That's pretty cute too Bob. They are such likable little guys, they just smile all the time. Except when we walk up the
    street they are just shaking with fear at cars, pushies, prams, just have to take it easy with them and get them used to the big bad outside world.

    Yeah it's like living with your own private circus, we reckon they play three different acts, monkeys (mischievous), clowns (funny) and meerkats (curious)
    Except when we walk up the street they are just shaking with fear at cars, pushies, prams, just have to take it easy with them and get them used to the big bad outside world.
    Yep take it easy. A friend of ours has a rescue and it lacked confidence and so was living a fairly sad existence not interacting much with anyone other than the master, until she took it sheep herding and it has slowly gained confidence and is now much more sociable.

    Our little one has more than enough confidence for both put together and is the chief monkey instigator.
