Gulliver and the Ball
Gulliver came into my life when I was experiencing a tough time with some physical and emotional issues. Under these circumstances, anyone else in her right mind would have put off getting a puppy. But I'd waited a long time for this boy and I was not going to lose him. Kim kept saying she had the perfect pup for me and she was right on. Gully was destined to be mine.
Gully and his blue ball kept me laughing. He would chase it, jump for it, and push it around the house and yard then sleep next to it. When I had no energy left after dinner, all I had to do was give him the ball and he could amuse himself till bedtime if I let him! Outside he would "herd" it around my grandsons' toys. And inside he would push it through every room and regularly bring it back to me.

Gulliver's sense of fun and "adaptable" temperament were central to my recovery. He forced me to get out every day to walk, socialize and train him. He brought me great joy during a time of chaos and uncertainty. He helped fill the void when John's Aussie, Tristan, died and he is now John's constant companion on walks and excursions in the car. After dealing with Tristan's issues for 10 years, John loves Gulliver's sociability and eagerness to give anything a try!
Gully is invaluable as the neutral dog when I work with reactive dog clients and has been a pleasure to train for a variety of sports. We hope to compete soon!
Gulliver continues to bring happiness to our lives
and endears himself to everyone he meets.
Kim, we LOVE this dog!!
John, thank you for the great animated gif of Gully and his ball.
