wow...now I think I may know how a mother of two 2-year old toddlers probably feels like when they have to visit a doctor's office. Today, Aussie had his annual check-up with some shots and Dillon had his three-week visit with vaccinations also. I only had Aussie on a leash, as I decided I'd carry Dillon. They weren't misbehaving, but the smell of the dogs and cats and the sounds of some barking really had Aussie in full-alert mode. He didn't want to sit still, but Dillon, thankfully, was nicely hanging out in my arms. In the vets office Aussie would not sit still...he heard and smelled a dog that was in waiting room and again, Dillon was doing great sniffing around the area. Both of them were champs when they were administered the vaccinations- I was a proud MamaMuffin.
***Oh, I just remembered something (I just saw Aussie rolling over from the corner of my eye)...last night, he wanted a toy Dillon had and so he gave Dillon "manners"- hahahaha...he's so funny!***
I know Matt wanted a 20lb dog, but it looks like Aussie really likes being 16lbs...and not a nugget more! He's been that weight for a while. Dillon weighed in at a whopping 9.75lbs. No estimate on his final weight as he gets older...The vet commented on Aussie's muscularness...for which, Aussie looked so proud when he heard that! Dillon will have to go back in three weeks for his last series of shots for a while and then he'll be a-okay to attend some doggy daycare. I think dog socialization is very important and Aussie always enjoyed daycare, so Dillon in about a month will start going once or twice a week. Wow! What a morning...there was other MamaMuffin stuff this morning...but this the boy's blog, so I won't overextend my own welcome!
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.
