All About Aussie

My photo
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.

and my brother Dillon Murphy

My brother came to us through Dennis's wonderful mom. He is also a Jack Russell Terrier and the vet gave him a birthday of May 1st. He's so much fun to play with and I'm able to teach him tricks, along with my MamaMuffin. MamaMuffin and I will write for him because too young to blog, but we'll convey his thoughts as best we can.

Circle: Done

THE CIRCLE-of-SOMETHING IS DONE!!! Yeah!!!



well, well, well...I woke up with the urge to get the cirlce finished. I know, I know...my blogs have nothing to do with Aussie or Dillon, but this is a great way to communicate with Matt also! So, the pups woke me up again, at the butt crack of dawn and I led them downstairs to the dungeon and locked them away for a bit longer. Later that morning I took the dreaded trip to the NEX and picked up 12 more stone borders and 8 more bags of rock...this time, there was a guy that helped me right away. He actually helped with my last three bags of rock yesterday...

I didn't want to bother Dennis, so I worked furiously to get the border stones (each must weigh nearly 20 pounds) into the backyard and then he came downstairs and helped with the bags of rock. Well, we put the stones and rock down and VOILA! we're done!!! I haven't decided what else to put in the area, but I really like the rock colors and it's a nice little area. Now that the hard work is done, it should be a fairly low maintenance area. The boys weren't interested in taking pictures either- it was really hot outside and I think they wanted to get inside!


The yard is looking good, if I say so myself! Dennis mowed the yard again, the grass has been growing faster than usual! The inside still looks like a tornado came through it...

For the "Something" to put in the big circle, A sega palm would be perfect and they are pretty. Just a suggestion!! :)
