From: ARPH ~ www.aussierescue.org

We adopted Rudy shortly after putting our almost 17 yr old lab shepherd to sleep. Rudy (orig named Zeus, then Auggie)...came from the J'ville, FL area, by MDS member, Aussie6pk! Rudy was found tied to a fence at an elementary school.
A6pk said, "Ya know, these aussies are like potato chips, ya can't have just one". I thought, "Right, you crazy lady". Four more dogs, later....we often tell Rudy, if he wasn't such a great guy, no others would be here.
Rudy is a happpppppy boy, always ready to go. He and Lacey are the "sport dogs".
He hates fireworks and loud noises.

Birthday: January 2, 2001
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Size: Medium
Nickname: Chloe ~ Ladybug ~ Princess Featherbutt ~ Cupcake
From: ARPH ~ www.aussierescue.org
Home Date: March 2, 2003
Chloe was a former backyard breeder, who was surrendered to the shelter in J'ville, FL, after all three of her pups died. Her own life hung by a thread, at a scant 23 lb. We agreed to foster her. She had never eaten from a bowl, been in a home, and was afraid of us and even her two brothers. She made it through dangerous heartworm treatment, then spay, and she was ours. The following year she was Miss Sept on the nat'l aussie recue calendar (at 47 lb). She is a living testament to the power of patience, love, good food and vet care!

Birthday: February 21, 2003
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Size: Giant
Nickname: Jackpot ~ Kodibear ~ Lummox ~ Puppyhead
From: private rescue thru www.aussierescue.org
Home Date: September 23, 2004
Jackpot was surrendered to me on the turnpike, in between hurricanes Frances & Jean. He was "too much dog" for his third owner. Prior to that he had been raised by a lovely young girl, whose stepfather said he shed too much & took him back to the breeder (after she had him for over a year). We have been in touch! I had five prospective homes lined up for this 80lb puppy. One by one they fell thru. I thought, God means Jack to stay here. High contrast colors, with lots of silly expressions, Jack models. His first job was for the BACK of a bus, for "Real Men Neuter Their Dogs" campaign. He is in training (mostly learning to control his impulse to do what he wants, WHEN he wants)! We are planning our CGC test for the fall, so he can do AAT (animal assisted therapy) like his brother, Mack.

Hiya guys, I hope you had a great time yesterday despite the fireworks. My late sister, Cherokee hated them. She used to stay under the bed for the entire celebration. I love the blog Tina posted concerning safety and comfort for the holiday. Very smart.
Mommy's bro-in-law had a bbq yesterday and he made a lot of people food. I used my "look" and got lotsa treats. Burgers, which are always yummy, chicken that tasted smokey, and something they called "ribs". OHMYDOG, RIBS! Mommy won't let me have the bones but people treated me to the meat. People food is excellent.
bark soon and ribs often,
Dakota
