In August 2023, The Ginger%9s mom had sent a Facebook link to a post about a dog in need of a new home. The Ginger had always wanted a dog, but I had been apprehensive because I was worried about a dog that might not be good with all of our birds and cats.
The new owner had just moved to a new house on a busier road and not as much land as Luna was used to. And their work schedules would require Luna to be crated inside most of the day, so she felt that it would be better for Luna to have a home with more space and human attention (which she certainly needs a lot of!!).
The owner had called her a blue heeler though, but she%9s clearly a border collie, so that%9s just what we%9ve been calling her, haha. We met up at a Tractor Supply just to meet Luna and see what she was like, and we ended up taking her home with us that day, lol. She pretty immediately switched to seeing us as her new family, too.
Luna is incredibly smart (though acts dumb when she wants to) and loves, loves, loves playing fetch. And my worries about the other animals were unfounded because she%9s so sweet with everyone. Granted, she will chase when someone runs, and likes to try and herd sometimes, as is her instinct, but she%9s never blatantly attacked anyone. Even the one rooster will attack her, and she usually just gets submissive. And even when she defends herself, she%9s never actually hurt him. I%9ll have her hang out with the disabled birds sometimes to just help protect them.
She has so much energy and so much love. She%9s a huge cuddler and can%9t get close enough to us. The only animals she doesn%9t actually like are other dogs though, lol. Only my dad%9s dog, Lily, is she friends with. Everyone else, she%9s nervous and defensive around for some reason.
Oh, she%9s also what we now call the ?un police,%D as another couple had referred to their dog as, and we took on the label for her. Not that she%9s mean, but she does seem to get worked up any time anyone else is playing and having fun. She%9ll chase them around or run over to them and bark (like the geese or ducks diving and swimming around quickly). I don%9t understand it, but apparently it happens sometimes with herders, haha.
