A few years back, ready to bring home a new friend, we went to our local shelter. When we approached 5 week old Ollie and his sisters, he got up from his curled up spot and sauntered over to me and my daughter as if to say "hello there, aren't I cute?" Right then we knew we'd found our fun little boy. The staff told us that he and his sisters were brought in after someone found them in a bag by the side of a busy road. Nowadays he's a healthy, happy, rambunctious red heeler with a strong personality. He lives to eat -- inhales his food and is quite demanding when he wants to play and adores camping trips in East Texas, Colorado or just simple neighborhood walks with his jack russell sister Lucy. He's the first dog we've ever had that watches T.V. Once focused he sticks with a show for several minutes. He loves basketball games and other games with balls but also random shows like comedies and dramas and David Letterman's musical guests -- he'll get up, stand in front of the TV to see who the woman is singing on T.V. He's endlessly loving and entertaining and we can't imagine family life without him.
