This German Shepherd is amazing. I have taken her for six outside the property walks and she has “found” three cats on these walks (all of them ill). I have learned by watching her when she is on the scent of a cat. Her nose shoots straight in the air and then she circles three times and whines. Nosing the area where th cat is at, she paws at the ground and looks at me as if “Please Mom pay attention!”
My neighbor came over today and her calico cat got out a few days ago. She wanted to see if mayber her cat Lucy found her way to my crew. I told her about Brandi and her cat nose and she was skeptical, but she wants her cat back.
I took Brandi over there on a long line and asked her to “find the kitty.” They have six acres of blackberries and grape arbors. 20 minutes later, Brandi alerts to a patch of blackberries near the fence and a calico kitty shoots out, running straight for the house!
I tell you what- she constantly surprises me with all she can do.
Now you need to train her to find money!!! LOL I am so glad that your new dog is able to help you — and you both get some exercise at the same time!
Hope everything is going well — tell Mike hi for me — and give each kitty a little pet for me.
Our special needs cat, Sukie, is recovering from a UTI. I’ll be glad when we have used up all his antibiotic — it makes me sad that he doesn’t trust us right now because he thinks we’re going to grab him and stick a dropper full of medicine down his throat. I know, it’s all for his own good, but it still makes me sad…
What a perfect dog for you to have and what a great little story!
way to go Brandi. Hey maybe you & Brandi could hire out to find lost kitties
everywhere. You would be quite a team.Hope you are well & Mike is on the mend.
Now that is quite a talent for a cat-rescuer’s dog to have. She sounds like she is doing good work for you – and probably having some fun into the bargain.
that is so wonderful – she is paying it forward. 🙂
And she’s so pretty, too! And so are you — I like your hair in that style!!
