Kim, Kirk, Jonathon & Cash Rascher welcome a new Thornapple baby to the family!
Miss June is sired by Ch Thornapple Red Hot Outlaw. Her dam is Ch Thornapple Island Kiss Here are a couple of photos of little June. As you can see, she is not being spoiled at all.
It was so nice to see you yesterday and to meet the crew. Everyone was so nice and welcoming.
We loved to meet more of the Thornapple dogs, too. Jonathan would love to learn how you take the wonderful photos. He would like to find out how Maria makes them stand so nicely.
June had a really good trip home. She was relaxed and napped on the middle seat. We all took turns sitting next to her. We made a stop along the way to purchase a girly collar, pink toy and a pink bowl, of course. June was the star of our trip to the pet store. One of the clerks immediately lift June out of Jonathan’s arms exclaiming, “What a beautiful red Aussie”. People even got out of line to meet June. As we were leaving the store a group of people were entering. We had to go back inside because one of the men wanted to take a photo of June. This also allowed his companion, a physically challenged blind woman to pet and snuggle June. The puppy handled everything with the utmost grace, enjoying every minute of the attention.
Meeting our other dogs went very well. June immediately flipped over and all was well. Cash simply loves her. He is very protective and almost seems to guard her. I expect them to become fast friends.
We were amazed last evening when we took her out to go potty. She saw Cash climb up the deck stairs and she immediately tried to copy. She had to stop a couple of times along the way but is a real go-getter.
I feel she will be very Velcro, like Cash. She follows me everywhere. She slept pretty well overnight, though she did howl when we put her in the crate. Ok, we are spoiling her already! She is certainly a Thornapple.
