A little nuts about my Australian Shepherd so I loved this story of loss and recovery.

Also, here are some pictures of Aussies. AWWWWW, amirite?

Aww, I love aussies and even more, ACDs.

Training one's dog to not startle at loud noises is part of gun dog training and totally doable for any breed; while I have my hair-tearing frustrations at times with our rambunctious dog, I gotta say that it's nice he never freaks out over fireworks (he just looks up at the sky and patiently waits for a dead duck to fall out of it).

Aussies are one of the few breeds that can still be cute as adults.

I like Rotts and Rott mixes too, msali. Very cute picture!

All aussies are actually named Wiggle Butt. Anything else is more of a middle name, adopted for convenience.

Also, I wish to post a picture of my own wee lad here.

Oh, wee lad of Wolf Dog is cute!

Actually, we have a different name for my Aussie than Wriggle Butt -- Tater Tot Tail. But yeah, the other name we use is more of a middle name . . .

My first dog was an Australian shepherd. I still get misty-eyed thinking about him .....
