BlueHeeler Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi guys In a tragic turn of events my best mate was killed 2 sundays ago I was at phillip island for the v8 supercar racing, and dad was camping in the bush as they had done many times a year for blueys whole life. Dad was with another vehicle for the weekend, and he had pulled over to chainsaw some firewood while the 2nd car caught up. Bluey jumped out of the truck and started milling around as he does. Soon after, the 2nd 4wd approached, in first gear, barely moving at all, and dad yelled out to bluey to get off the track which he did. Then, for whatever reason, Bluey just wandered right under the front wheel. 4 years ago his senses were that sharp that you couldnt TRY and catch him with a car, but in his older age it seemed he just had a lapse in concentration. Amazingly, he got up, and apart from looking shaken he ran around the truck and jumped back into dads 4wd and lay on his bed with his head on his paws. Dad checked him out, nothing felt broken, no blood, not even crying. Thinking he was the luckiest dog alive they packed up and set off to get him to a vet for a checkup... However about 5 mins up the track, dad looked back to see he was now lying on his side. He knew it wasnt good, as on rough tracks Bluey never lies down, he braces himself between the 2 front seats. So dad stopped and went to see him, and he had a few short breaths left before passing away Sorry for the long story, but it just fills me with pride that the little kid somehow found the energy to get back into his own 4wd. Thats where he wanted to go. RIP mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricey Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Keep running bluey! keep nipping those heels, keep biting! This is what blue heelers do. It is the nature of the beast. I love these dogs; they are great. Blue heelers have "Australia" stamped all over them. ricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_Louise Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi Aidan, Just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of your Bluey's passing. I have a Red ACD girl at the moment "Chloe" who I adore, and before her had a Blue ACD girl "Pepper" who was pts at the grand age of 14. I love my Cattle dogs, they are just so special. And aren't they just the toughest buggers you've ever seen? Apart from being loyal friends as well... Hope all goes well in your search for a new companion. Would love to see pics when you adopt a new puppy. RIP Bluey old boy. I'm sure my Pepper girl will welcome him and show him around up there!
