"Hurry up Travis they're at the airport" I yelled as I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door to the car. Finally after all the emails back and forth with Susan in Australia, our two Koolies were here. I know some of you may be asking yourself, "What the hell is a Koolie?"  Well a Koolie is a breed of working dog from Australia. I fell in love with the breed on a trip to Australia, and after doing some research on the breed and finding a reputable breeder that would export to Canada, I had to have not one but two of them. 

It seemed to be taking forever to get to the airport. "Where did all this traffic come from? I swear none of them know how to drive" I had no patience what so ever when it came to driving in city traffic. "Relax babe, they'll still be there even if we are a little bit late" Travis was always so good at calming me down. His voice always had a calming effect on me. I guess you could say he was a Kayla Whisperer. 

It seemed like every smell possible hit me as we entered the airport. I hated airports with a passion, just way to many people bumping into you anywhere you walked. And it seemed that the majority of people had forgotten what good hygiene was. "Over there Travis, that's where we have to go to get them." After making our way to the counter and showing all required documents, paying import fees etc we sat down and waited. I couldn't sit still, I was so excited to finally see them. "Ms. Albright here they are, your all set to go" I knelt down to take a peak at them. They looked so scared and confused. "Poor babies, it's alright your almost home." 

After what seemed like the longest drive ever, we finally arrived home. We put the carriers in a spare room that we had set up for them. After opening both carriers we closed the baby gate to keep them in the room. Travis headed off to bed, but of course I stayed put. Sitting down on the floor quietly waiting for them to leave their carriers. After what seemed like hours, Scout (the male) poked his head out of the carrier, smelling the new surroundings. Cautiously heading towards the water dish I had set out for them, sniffing the water first before having any. Shortly after Sheba (the female) followed suit. Still sitting quietly on the floor on the other side of the baby gate, Scout approached and sniffed. Slowly placing my hand on the baby gate so he could get my scent.  "Your such a handsome boy Scout" Repeating the same actions when Sheba approached. 

I felt someone touch my shoulder, I looked up to see Travis shaking his head and letting out a small laugh. "Did you sleep here all night babe?" Feeling a little silly and embarrassed I stretched my legs and got up. "I didn't want them to be alone, they seemed so scared last night." 

It's been over a month now since getting Scout and Sheba, but it seems like they have always been apart of our family. After some coaxing with their favorite treats I was able to get a pic of my two babies. Sheba is the black and tan, Scout is the blue merle.
