Aussies Are............

Sunshine with 4 legs
Love life and people
Are happy to be alive
Fancy themselves as the center of the universe
Think the world of themselves (A legend in their own minds.)
Will only do what they want to do when they want to do it.
Have more love to give and give more than we could ever give back to them
Are full of surprises -- including presenting their master/mistress with wonderful trophies

Donation Made in Memory of Mookie

 

Mookie

On October 29, 1993, my husband and I adopted our first dog, Mookie, who was rescued and fostered by Susan Saulvester. Mookie was our only dog for four years until we decided she might benefit by having a companion. Plans were made to get a second Aussie, Bob, from another breeder.

Before Bob could join us, however, fate intervened and we wound up with another dog. This started early one morning when Mookie and I were outside. A beagle-obviously a stray-approached us and followed us up our driveway to the house. Mookie didn't like this interloper and let him know by turning around and barking at him nonstop."Buddy" joined our family not long after, and Mookie showed us she was the "boss" dog, as explained by the following.

One warm spring day after Buddy had been with us just about two months, my father-in-law came over to garden and decided to take Mookie and Buddy out to the "back 40." While out back, Buddy picked up a scent and strained to be let off the leash. My father-in-law let him go! Mookie immediately began barking furiously, straining to get off the leash. Dad let her off the leash also, and off she went, chasing Buddy, barking all the while! As Dad told us later, he lost sight of them as they entered the woods; but he could hear Mookie barking. He said the sound of her barking grew faint as they ran through the woods and then grew louder as they came down our road and up the driveway to the house. Once back at the house, she sat down on the patio, and looked at him as if to say, "What were you thinking? Don't do that again!"

In addition to being "boss dog," Mookie became the official greeter, welcoming neighbors, friends, and family who came to visit. She especially loved children, as we saw when our six-year-old nephew visited for a few days without his mother. It was his first time away from home and he cried for his mother. Mookie got up, walked into his room, jumped into bed with him, and he was not upset any longer.

On December 31, 2009, we lost our beloved Mookie. She had been a member of our family for 16 years, and we miss her daily. Having Mookie in our lives was a joy!

Donation Made in Memory of Sheila

MOTCH, U-OCH Feathertop Sassi Sheila, UDX, RE

Sheila was one of a kind, as far as my performance dogs go.
She was a sassy little puppy but became a beautiful working dog.
She made me proud of her everytime we went into the ring whether we passed or failed but she did more passing than failing for me.

She won many first places and High in Trials in the Canadian Kennel Club,
United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club.
She won the High in Trial in 2006 at the Australian Terrier Specialty in Obedience

She was her own little lady but also loving and liked to please (when it pleased her).

I can't imagine another Sheila but I guess they all are one of a kind.

I lost her 0n June 23, 2009 at the age of 10.

I know she is waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

CH Bondiblu's We Be Jammin'

He was our first bred-by to finish
Which could he have enjoyed more, the excitement of the ring
or the couch by the TV, we'll never know

Though every bit the boy
A kinder dog you couldn't of asked

Sharing his treasured places and things with sibling
parent and rescue alike

We lost him too soon to renal failure
a complication of SARDS
His beautiful, sad eyes dimmed
Alive with love and loyalty to the last

We miss you, little guy
Always in our hearts
