Pet of the Month for April is.. Gracie! We love when Gracie visits the clinic, she’s a very friendly, happy girl. Here’s what her family has to say:
“ Gracie was born on Jan. 20th, 2020 at Aldor Acres in Fort Langley. Her Mom, Maggi, is a pure bred border collie and her dad a pure bred Australian Shepherd. She was the tiniest of pups when we first visited to meet the puppies but ever so sweet and cuddly. We adopted her and brought her home the day before the province went into lock down due to Covid. We consider that to be a lucky day and, a day later we wouldn’t have had her for months.
Gracie was a loving, playful pup from day one. She moved into our home and was an instant member of our family. Our cat, Indie, was perhaps not quite as excited at first with this pup who always wanted to play and chase her. Indie was wonderful though. She would strike out with her paw but never were her claws out. She loved to taunt Gracie from the counter stools as Gracie couldn’t reach her, yet!
Gracie has always loved the outdoors. She loves walks on trails and to be in the forest, watching birds fly, playing in water and chasing balls, Frisbee and other toys, especially ones that squeak. It sometimes seems she is trying to protect the toys that make noise, like she thinks they might be hurt. She loves the water though only decided swimming was a thing she wanted to do last spring at 4 years old. Her favorite activity is playing ball – chasing, catching and running. She loves her pals: Kona, Emma, Robbie and others she meets in our travels but both they and their humans are her faves. Other games she loves are the Search game using her very acute sense of smell, tricks for treats.
Gracie loves her people family and visitors. She loves to greet and sing to everyone who comes. At home or on the road, she’s happy so long as she’s with her people. She’s a loving, playful, occasionally challenging but always precious member of our family. “
