He's a border collie/austrailian cattle dog cross, perhaps some blue heeler in him too. Frisbee fetching and tree climbing/squirrel chasing is in his DNA. Even though we have a huge lot, nearly 1/4 acre, it's too small for a dog like this and two trips to the park per day was all I could handle, even though I work from home. <br /><br />He's now living out his golden years at my brother in law's in the country where there's cows to keep an eye on, sentry duty patrolling the perimeter of the property keeping out squirrels, porcupines and muskrats and hours of Frisbee fetchin' with whoever drops by for a visit!<br /> <br />Unfortunately his many years of Frisbee has taken its toll on his feet which are permanently swollen and his eyesight is going fast and he misses more Frisbees now than he catches. The good part is when he actually does grab one and especially if its 4 feet or more in the air, you can almost see the smile on his face! Miss you, Aussie. There. That's as "sucky" as I get! <br /><br />Dogs have a way of doing this to us. I still miss Lady the dog I grew up with from when I was 5 until about 12. Wow, that's 35 years ago! She would always sleep at the foot of my bed. One morning I woke up to her and 8 puppies at my feet. Mom freaked, but it remains as one of my best childhood memories. Thanks alot Hunter...now I'm missing both Mom and my dogs this morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24226508.post-32297024365955139432012-01-23T08:07:26.547-07:002012-01-23T08:07:26.547-07:00It is wonderful that "man's best friend&q...It is wonderful that "man's best friend" can bring us together. Every day the dogs in our town bring forth pleasant greetings, good conversations, a bond between strangers and some exercise in the great outdoors.

Any dog can be a TD. The test is about obedience and temperament. Nothing more.<br /><br />The program we do is called Tail Waggin' Tutor. Little kids reading to a chocolate Lab called Roxy.
