Matilda (Matty)
Matilda, aka Matty, is our puppy, an Australian Cattle Dog mix (we think maybe she’s got some Sheltie mixed in there too?) We got her in the middle of June 2007 from the Chicago Canine Rescue, which is a wonderful organization btw, who picked her and her litter up from a high-kill shelter down in Kentucky.
Here’s the baby photo that won our hearts, from the CCR website… (picture on the right is her mother, Dakota)
She’s doing great now and is becoming a wonderful little lady. I upload photos of her frequently to Flickr tagged with ‘matilda’ or ‘matty’ depending on what mood I’m in.
I also have some pretty cute YouTube videos of her I’ve uploaded. As you can probably guess now, I’m a very proud daddy.
Here’s one of Matty as a 12 week pup…
