The Aussie does something everyday that amazes me or makes me laugh- out loud! This morning he had a burst of independence and he ventured outside where he decided to lounge in the corner of the yard. He rarely goes outside and "lounges", but today he did. My nugget is becoming more of a big boy.
I came upstairs to finish up some note writing and the nugget seemed bored, so I took him back downstairs to get his green ball and hot dogs. I remembered when we got downstairs that he took it outside, so I thought for sure he'd forgotten by now where he'd last had it. So I gave him the hand signal for his green ball and I headed out the sliding door, well what do you know- nugget muffin runs out through his doggie door and brings me his ball! I remember a month ago having to fetch the ball b/c he would forget or not understand to go outside to look for it! Yeah, another awesome thing about our puppy. He's throwing his ball around now...I need him to be busy so I can finish my notes! We miss you Matt!
All About Aussie
- Aussie
- I am the Australian born puppy of Matt and Nina. Matt named me Aussie, but my birth certificate name is Wildenfox Earl Jackaroo. Wildenfox Earl is for my parents and Matt gave me Jackaroo, which is the Australian equivalent of cowboy. I am an AKC certified Jack Russell Terrier. I can sit, stay, give manners, give high and low five. I only speak on command and when MamaMuffin yelps "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie"! I recently learned how to roll over, that was fun. Nina taught me how to fetch, which took quite a while, but I eventually got it. My favorite toy is my green ball that Matt and Nina put hot dogs in and I throw the ball to release the hot dogs. It keeps me entertained for at least an hour. I also enjoying finding MamaMuffin and Master. I stay in the kitchen, they hide and then bark, indicating it's time for me to "seek" them out: Hide and Seek! We have a lake in the backyard and I love wading in it, but I'm not confident enough to go swimming. My master bought me a life jacket to help me swim or float along easier. Enjoy the pictures my MamaMuffin posts. She can get annoying with the camera...everyday she takes a picture, or so it seems.

You should teach him to patty-cake. Clap your hands then put your left hand up for him to hit, clap again then put up your right hand for him to hit with his left paw. I saw it on Animal Planet and thought of Aussie. Carrie
