Dillon learned how to "fetch" as a game after watching Aussie and after receiving treats for bringing me a toy I'd thrown...and lately he's been loving it more than ever. He doesn't even want the treats...he's just having fun. Today he (even now, he just placed his toy on the keyboard) has kept bringing me the toy to throw so he can fetch. I need to figure out a way to teach Aussie how to throw ;) I'm glad he enjoys fetching, sometimes when I give him treats he isn't as focused on bringing me the ball, so I'd rather keep the treats out. This is how it happened with Aussie, we started with treats and then stopped giving it to him b/c without the treats it was more fun and Aussie responded better.
oh, and I was cleaning up the counter and checking out from eye level if I could see any stray crumbs and what did I see, but the wee wittle paw prints of a wee wittle Dillon. I know they were Dillon's. Aussie doesn't jump up on the counter stools very easily, but Dillon is a pro at jumping that height. I left the stool in front of the counter Friday while I was at work and I think the little stinker sniffed around. I guess he didn't know he could be convicted with paw prints! Little Dillon, he is trouble with a capital T.
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.
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.
