Sammy is the newest arrival on Pine Haven. She is a blue heeler which is a fancy name for a cattle dog I guess. She belongs to Jonathan my son and is a gift for Christmas. She has been visiting for a few hours to see how she settles in. The family she was with had small children and couldn't keep her any longer. Sammy is highly strung and very energetic. Apparently she used to jump up and knock the children over. I'm hesitant to get another animal and mouth to fed but Jonathan assures me he will take care of her. I have agreed to accept her as long as he holds his side of the bargain. I must admit though she is growing on me. I never much liked the colouring of a cattle dog nor their nature but I think she might just fit here at our humble little home. I sat on the porch stairs early this morning watching the dogs interact and wishing for some cool weather. We are in the middle of another heat wave and I'm drained and lethargic from the heat. There was a promise of a storm yesterday but a rumble in the sky was all we got. Hopefully today will bring some water from the sky.
