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.

Introducing Dillon Murphy: Nugget's baby brother

Yeah, yesterday Dennis brought us Dillon Murphy and he is too precious for words. He is feisty- he may be precious, but I don't doubt he's gonna be a handful (or two). Dillon was shaking when Dennis handed me him, but he calmed down as I held him in my arms. After about 15 minutes, I brought him to see Aussie and he was sooo scared. Aussie was very curious and eventually they started playing, like they were old buddies. Today he had his first vet appt; he received a check-up and some icky shots. He acted like a brave big-boy. The vet gave him a May 1, 2007 birthday and said he was about 10 weeks old. Oh, my newest nugget has a birthday now :) Here's a few pictures of the first night, first EARLY in the morning (4:30am to be exact) and second day. They loved playing tug-of-war...oh, and Dillon is trying to show dominance, if you know what I mean! Hmm, he'll get neutered in a couple of months, after he's completed all of this vaccinations. He's also learning how to sit- already...potty training is in the works! He got the hang of the doggy door immediately and he understands if he's at the other sliding door, and I call him, he has to go around to the doggy door. I think he's getting used to his name now also.
