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.

Update on the boys

The boys are doing wonderful! I still fall in love with my baby-boy Dillon everytime I look at him (I dote on him). Dillon has recently been allowed off of his leash at a nearby park. There is a wide open field with very little human traffic, so Matt and me are able to toss the ball and let Dillon run for miles. He's so ball driven, once you get him playing fetch his mind doesn't wander far away from fetching that ball! It's amazing, he's amazing. It makes me sad to think someone isn't enjoying all that he has to offer. I still feel so grateful to Dennis' mom (Becky) for letting me adopt him. Aussie is still smart and cute as ever. I don't mean to ignore doting over Aussie, but my Dillon nugget has stolen my heart. Aussie is so quiet and well behaved- he's nearly the perfect dog. He even acts to big for his paws somedays. I think he's nearly as smart as a human somedays.

The blog will be suspended for a few months ( I suppose it's been on suspension for a bit now anyway!) I thought I could find time, but I enjoy the time with my boys so much when I return home from work or a trip that I forget to document the days. They make me laugh, stare in amazement, and gush EVERY SINGLE DAY. I love my boys. Photos soon to follow.
