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.

Dillon is kinda funny!

***MamaMuffin blogging***

First of all: Matt, yes, Dillon slept with me again :( sorry, but he's a good cuddler!

All right, on to the business of blogging...Dillon is too cute for words. Aussie was never as good as a cuddler (probably b/c Matt isn't a good cuddler and he raised Aussie a tiny puppy) as Dillon is now. At night, Dillon will settle in right next to me and no matter how often I toss and turn and flip him around, he settle right back into a perfect spot for cuddling. Last night, I wake up to turn and he's upside down, but I couldn't find his face (where had my nugget's head gone?) Oh, there it was-practically under my shoulder! His neck was curved in the most painful looking position, actually his entire body was, and his face was being smothered by the MamaMuffin, me!!! Eh, he didn't seem to mind though, I moved him and his body was listless, but then again, I thought, it always his when he's sleeping. I got a whimper out of him, so I knew he was still breathing.

So at the usual 7am time (pretty much to the dot!) Aussie was right there licking my forehead and staring at me (as I snuck a peak from under the covers)...his eyes were happy and his tail was wagging --- I was time to wake up! Dillon and I were still sleeping---eventually around 7:30am, I indulged the big brother nugget and gave him the "GOOD MERRRRNNNNING" (yes, that's pronounced "merning")...whenever I say that, the boys know it's happy time, or time to get up! It's our thing. I was teasing Aussie and hiding under the covers when Dillon finds an entrance to under the covers and begins to crawl over me. (side note: Aussie loves to catch "movements" under blankets; I always have him chase my hand under a blanket, so for him Dillon was a really big hand to chase) Aussie targets Dillon and they begin to play, it was so funny! Dillon is crawling around under the blanket and Aussie is pouncing and trying to chomp on him. Dillon eventually made his way out at which time, Aussie gave one last, great big pounce!

Somethings, like what I have just described, are too cute and funny and I'm so sad you're not here to see them Matt. I can't wait for you to come home. We love you.
