Gunni, a 3-year-old border collie and Australian kelpie mix, lives in Fruita, Colorado. “Gunni, short for Gunnison, a favorite river her dad likes to fish in Colorado, enjoys near-daily hikes and bike rides on the numerous trails that surround her home in the high desert of Western Colorado. Being of Australian herding dog heritage, the warmer parts of the year are her favorite, especially when she has time to take a break from catching her ball to catch some z’s with a backyard nap in the afternoon sun.”
