••• The Story of Vickie •••
Vickie came to Iowa from Texas where she was bred as a short haired tri-color Australian Shepherd typically used as a working dog with cattle.
Her life circumstances brought her to Forever Home Dog Rescue where she was fostered for many months by local master-planner Dennis Reynolds and his wife Charlotte. They still say she is probably the smartest, most motivated and most athletic dog they have ever fostered or owned.
While she was still young, Charlotte and Dennis enjoyed obedience school with Vickie, working on good behavior and important commands like sit and stay. As the pictures above show, she easily passed and was the teacher's pet.
For a while, Vickie found a home with an older couple who had a farm with goats. (Ask Trent about the pictures of the goats standing on a picnic table where Vickie has proudly herded them.) But, a few years later, the couple decided to sell the farm and move into a smaller in-town home and realized Vickie would not be happy. They returned Vickie to Dennis and Charlotte who gladly welcomed her.
Trent met Vickie many times when Dennis was in Beeline getting blueprints. Trent asked if he might be a good fit for Vickie. Forever Home Dog Rescue vetted the situation and Vickie was gladly placed in her new home where she was obviously very happy.
Vickie is a big hit at the dog park, out fetching and out running all the usually stud dogs (greyhounds, retrievers, you name it).
Vickie continues to love life and her time at Beeline. She is a loyal companion for Trent and others.
