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.

Oh, I guess my brother is cute!

I love having a brother, it's a bit of an adjustment because I have to share MamaMuffin's love, but she still gives me my special time. Dillon loves to pull on my tail and other unmentionables and then I pull at his little stub tail. Sometimes I have to put him in place and I try to take things away from him, but that's what MamaMuffin and Master do...so I figure since I'm dominate to Dillon, I'm allowed to do those things. MamaMuffin agrees, I think, she always watches me when it happens and only a few times has come to little nugget's rescue. Anyway, MamaMuffin will take over from here:

Ugh, what a gloomy day! I actually should have taken the nuggets to Mt. Trashmore, but I wasn't sure if it was going to rain- the sky looked like it could open up any minute. It was a good day to be lazy considering the last few days have been "go here", "go there." I wasn't sure how could or would ever love another nugget, but Dillon has stolen my heart. At times I still like just me and Aussie time and I hold him and give him lotsa extra loving, but Dillon is in his cuddle and sleep next to me stage, which makes me melt. His face is filled with character and I love him just as much as my nugget muffin. I haven't really found a name for him, I thought Dill Pickle (because of Dillon), but he's not a "dill pickle"...hmm, I'm sure a name will come to me one day!

Look at this face, I'm so mad at myself for cutting of his ears, oh and look at that come hither stare
So proud and tall, my little Dillon, his face has so much character and can hardly wait to see him at a year.
Thank goodness Dillon loves all of Aussie's toys, he loves to entertain himself and then everynow and then, Aussie will come over to show it's his toy and he'll snatch it away. This leads to Dillon chasing after Aussie and yelping, it's actually great to hear the sound of two playing dogs.
