Ringo is a australian cattle dog/blue heeler mix who is about 1 year old. We took him home Sunday after visits with him and our family on Friday and Saturday. He was rescued by a shelter here in Iowa City from another shelter that was planning to euthanize him in 7 days. 
Ringo is absolutely adorable, isn't he? He weighs about 35 lbs, has cute spots all over, LOVES to play with toys, dogs, and kids, and is very smart. 
These are pictures of Ringo from the shelter but I'll try to get some of our own on soon. Including those with our other doctors as it makes a pretty funny picture. We now have all three sizes of dog - small, medium, and large. Ringo is intended to be more of the kids dog and in particular Taylor's, as she has been asking for a smaller dog to take care of and play with. We'll see how that goes with responsiblities. So far everyone is getting along pretty well for the most part. Holly has shown her dominance of the house while Butch is the larges but certainly most passive of the group. Ringo is very athletic and can run down or catch about anything in the air. He should make a great do for agility and fly dog if we are able.
Most of all, we are glad to have saved another wonderful dog who just needed the right home and some TLC.
Yes, our running backs are only freshman. Wow, what a future!
Gotta' love the Captain!
