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.

We've heard from Australia

ATTENTION: NANNA ELIZABETH!!!

It's great to hear from you. We'll get the blog started up again in about a month. Aussie is a shining star here in the US. Everyone comments on how clever, how well behaved, and how handsome he is. He is a beloved dog to everyone we know. As you know, we just celebrated his 2nd birthday.

We found Dan from Florida (he contacted you last year inquiring about Aussie's dad). My sister will be adopting a girl jack russell from his most recent litter. We will get her at the end of the month and deliver her to my sister. Eventually, we will mate Aussie and her. We requested that Dan not dock the tail of the girl. We love the tail of Aussie and didn't want to lose that unique feature of a Jack Russell here in the states!

We absolutely love Aussie, his most adorable feature is when he gives "manners". I think I got the term from you all, it's where he sits up on his butt with his front paws in the air. We taught him that performing "manners" is like asking for permission or saying please. Whenever he wants something from us, he'll give us "manners"! He has even given "manners" to other dogs when he wants something from them- he can no longer last in the wild!

We adopted a rescue dog that may be a mix of something with Jack Russell, giving Aussie a little brother, and he terrorizes Aussie like a true younger brother! They have lots of fun running around and wrestling.

my email is: jmattpaddock@yahoo.com It's great to hear from you! We'll most certainly update the blog more regularly, starting back in a month.

Matt, Nina, Aussie, and Dillon
