I am going to be on and of for a while, so don't ban me if I am not on for a week. My pup died like 3 months ago, but for some reason it just hit me so hard now. He was my first and best dog. He would move the cattle, he would do anything for me. Saved my life against a dingo, a brown snake and some blocks. A dingo pounced on me and nearly ripped by esophagus out, and Jack rammed it and fought it until he killed it. And with the snake, I was checking on the calves and a king brown bit me and kept attacking me and he came in and killed it. We both went to hospital that day. And the last time I went to the pub and he was in the tray, I was about to get into the cars and the blokes pulled me aside and started ripping into me. He broke his chain lead and collar and leaped on them. Broke one blokes arm, ripped skin of the other blokes face while they were both bashing him with a led pipe. He died on his birthday, he was only 1 year old and only had him for 8 months. (sorry going on about it, makes me feel better when I type it out). The saddest thing it was my fault he died. Yes was only a pup and I let him out of his cage to go to the toilet or what ever and I went into the house and watched a movie (at night) and hour later I cam out and called him but he didn't come (unlike him, as soon as I start to call his name, Jack would be right by my side)My whole family went running around the House and paddocks then my sisters when on her motor bike and went up to the highway and found him dead there. My oldest sister told me there was a kill across the highway but I didn't think. Its just upsetting, when call his name and he doesn't come, so hard to get me head around it. We have been through everything together, we did everything, we showed together, when I needed someone he would jump right in.(sorry going on about it, makes me feel better when I type it out) I got a new pup, but its just not the same. He is excellent to but he was come up and put his front feet onto he couch and rest his head against my neck and stuff like that. So yeah I have turned into a bit of sook so suddenly, its weird any way catch you guys later.
thankies, but sense the red cattle dog as a lot of dingo in it, if they smell something dead or dying, its just instinct to go to it. If I wasn't so careless in just wanting to watch my movie he would still be here 
But as people say "shit happens" you have to take the good with the bad.
