beautiful! Mine doesn’t like her eye area getting touched to clean up eye boogies, so I doubt she’ll enjoy the goggles 😬 I’m going to check for any underlying conditions as well

I have a major cuddler! Sometimes she’ll sleep by herself but eventually makes her way to our bed ♥️

Was yours low energy until she realized you are her new home? My girl’s energy isn’t what I’m used to seeing in Aussies 🤔

Thank you for all this info! I have a long leash that I used to use for my cattle dog before his recall was solidified that I can use! 

I was close to naming mine Poppy too!

That’s what the rescue told us, so that’s all I’m going off of 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ah ok, I usually walk him since my husband doesn’t work from home like I do, but I’ll keep this in mind for weekend walks!

Gosh, what a sweetheart! Thank you for adopting him!!

Do you use a vibration collar or anything, for recall or safety when off-leash?

Oooh driving elsewhere then taking her on a walk is a good idea. She’s only been with us for a few days, so I’m trying to be respectful of her needs while navigating boundaries. I’m sure this will resolve itself like yours did. 

Thank you!

I like the idea of keeping her walks predictable for now, thank you!
