Windsong PWDs & OEs



***He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being: by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever...wherever--in case I need him. And I expect I will--as I always have. He is just my dog.

Welcome to Windsong Portuguese Water Dogs and Old English Sheepdogs. My name is Joanne and I am a small hobby breeder located on 40 acres of meadow and Ponderosa Pines in Colorado. I work for a division of PETA rehabilitating fleas and ticks that have been incapacitated by flea collars.

How did I get into Portuguese Water Dogs? It was out of necessity really. My Old English Sheepdogs are Catholic and were frankly tired of tuna on Fridays during lent. Since my job at PETA requires such long hours I didn't have time to fish each day to feed my Old English so I had to rethink it. I had heard the PWDs were capable of swimming schools of fish into nets, well that turned out to be JUST what I needed. Thanks to the PWDs, my Sheepdogs have all the fresh carp they can stomach and in fact we get such a haul that my husband Cheeves (see background on OE page) got to quit his job as Head Sheep Dipper at a large Station in New South Wales, came home, purchased a freezer and now operates our small canning business out of the barn. Oh it's not Camelot by any means, but it pays the bills,entry fees, allows us to contribute to various food banks, and gives Cheeves time to work on his passion in life...the aqualung.

I have many interests aside from the fishing and the dogs.

They include:

Cooking
Scrapbooking
Voodoo
Underwater Basket Weaving
Hair Restoration
Calf Pulling
Bugging Buzzards
(That's NOT buggering)
and
Hang Gliding

Yes, my days are full,and so are my nights...Thanks Cheeves, you animal you, but I digress.

So sit back and relax, enjoy the site, I know you'll find most things here facsinating and irrelevant, that is if you're not into PWDs and OESs.
