New Buddy: "Augie"

So I'm hopelessly-addicted to Aussies. Yesterday we picked up an 8-week old black tri-color pup from an amazing breeder up north. He comes/sits/knows his name/is potty trained. The breeder does a lot of sensory work with the pups from day one, so they are calm, friendly, and love people and kids! He's so typical - I made him a lovely soft bed and he wants to sleep on the cold tile...LOL!



Jimmy is not doing so well - he is totally blind now, and starting to injure himself because he doesn't think he's blind?? Still wants to play fetch or tear around with Ben. We're trying to heal a foot injury; I'm sure he has a "black eye" from jumping into our van and hitting the door latch - OUCH!. And he's going back to the vet today to have a suspicious growth checked - it's definitely NOT a lipoma. Sigh... At any rate, he's a good "puppy mom" and will hopefully teach the new guys some good things.

Congratulations on the new pup. Going through something similar with a new Collie pup. Sasha is now 12 weeks old. Thank God for Sawyer who plays with Sasha and keeps her entertained. Sorry to here about Jimmy hopefully he can give some of that knowledge to the pup.

It's been a wild ride this year with the two Collies passing Mikko and Cooper and with two new Collie puppies Sawyer and Sasha.

Jimmy is the "rock" - afraid of nothing, calm, sweet, responds sweetly to kids - exactly the kind of dog that I love. If he can pass a little of that along to the pup, it would be great!

Mark: I think puppies are like childbirth - after a while, you forget what it's like, so you go ahead and do it again? LOL! Yes, Augie is like a little piranha at the moment...yeeeesh!

Sorry to hear about Jimmy. He sounds like a great mentor for the others. I'm glad you have another to continue your fur family.

Thanks, everyone! I'm now being reminded of how much "trouble" a puppy can get into in the blink of an eye....>LOL!

Congratulations on your new addition, Augie. Reminded me of our pure bread Rottweiler we got over 25 years ago. Lady Augustine Von Behr. Augie for short. She was the best dog and a registered therapy dog. A gentle giant she was.
