New member of the family (dog) - Bishop


We had been thinking about getting another dog for a while now, Moab (our current dog) has been getting older and she really can't join us on longer or faster rides anymore now that she is nearly 9 years old.

So on Saturday we visited the Boulder Human Society and picked up a 1 year old female Australian Shepard (which on a side note we have no dogs called "Australian Shepard" in Australia - but she is a lot like working dogs down there). We named her Bishop after a small town on the Eastern Edge of the Sierra's in California.

In some ways it is easier having an slightly older dog than a puppy as potty training is easier, however in other ways it is harder. The two dogs are having some confidence issues with each other and we have some work ahead to get Bishop trained to play with Moab and to follow us on the trails as we ride.

She is really fast and super nimble so we have fun times ahead!
