I found Baby when she was a very small pup barely had her eyes open some mean soul dumped her and 5 brothers and sisters in a pile of discarded onions at an onion packing plant. The temperature that day was over 100 degrees she was the only one of the litter left alive. I took her immediately to my truck, turned on the air condition full blast and began to trickle water in her mouth. After a few tries she began to suck on my fingers, I bottle fed her after that and soon she was at my side strong and healthy. Soon after, she was herding my chickens around the yard - all self taught! I have had her since that steamy summer day in West Texas. I have come to find out she is a Kelpie, one of the best herding dogs I ever owned! Baby has not left my side in 11 years, she is like one of my kids. I don't understand how any one could do that to a defenseless animal. I'm sad I couldn't save her siblings, but I am proud to be Baby's mom. Baby is my best friend and I love her with all my heart. She's getting up in years and will be sadly missed when God calls her home.
