Elsie the Watch Dog

Elsie: As part of the pack, I take it upon myself to guard my family.

Elsie: This means that I take it upon myself to be Watchdog of the House

Fred: And what a fine job you do, Elsie

Elsie: I detect a twinge of sarcasm in your tone Fred but I'm going to ignore that too. Guarding the house and our Boss' is very important you know.

Elsie: I'd stay and chat more but I think I spy something. Excuse me.

Meet the Wolfies

Follow the adventures of Fred, Elsie and Ginger, our wolfhound crosses that we saved from the pound.

Fred was saved from Death Row at Hawkesbury Pound as a 6 month old puppy with big puppy feet in August 2007.

Elsie came from Queanbeyan Pound after being left in their overnight cages one September night in 2010. She was flea-bitten, stunk to high heaven and was skinny as a rake. She passed away in April 2015 suddenly at the young age of 5 to lymphosarcoma. I miss her every day.

Ginger came to us after we drove 5 hours to Tumburumba, in inland country NSW. She had been saved from Wagga Wagga pound by a rescue group and was busy helping inmates rehabilitate at a correctional facility before we came along and took her home. She's a smoochy 2 year old who is the newest addition to our pack and is learning to live with us and help pep Fred (who is now 9) up. We look forward to learning all about her and hope that she will enjoy many adventures with us.

Fred and Ginger live with us on a 100 acre property, get fed twice a day, get to sleep inside every night and receive more cuddles than they know what to do with. Elsie has her spot high on the hill looking out to the view that she was always enamoured with, and we visit often.
