COLORADO WOLF AND WILDLIFE CENTER APRIL-MAY 2013
Cash
It all started with Dixie, our mini mare. I got Dixie for all of the kids who come to the Center - especially the girls who like to pet and brush My Little Pony. Well my little pony was pregnant and had a mini baby boy which we named Shadow. As Shadow grew, so did his curiosity. He was done with mom because she was not fun to play with anymore. I thought about a playmate for him so I put an ad in Craigslist for a goat. After several calls, we chose one. It was a disaster! This goat jumped the fence and did not want to have a thing to do with Shadow. Plus it was a billy goat and smelled really bad. The thought of another goat crossed my mind but that thought quickly got crossed out thinking about my trees that could be eaten. So I went on Craigslist and found a mini donkey and her 2 week old baby. What a cutie this baby is. Simply irresistible. So I made plans to go get them in Canon City. As we were driving up the road, I saw this beautiful Border collie herding some cows on his own. He was amazing. We loaded the little donkey and baby and I told the rancher how amazing his dog was. He said that the dog was not working for him and if we did not take him, he was going to “fill a hole”. I could not believe I just heard that. Without hesitation, we took this dog named Cash. It is interesting that two days prior I was looking at Border collie rescues because I felt that I was ready to find another dog after my loss of Prissy. Cash is so sweet and very smart. He now wears Prissy’s collar in her honor.
Cash & Casey quickly became good friends
