On this day, a huge hole ripped through my heart when I found you dead. I never imagined that you would leave me so soon. |

Digger came from the Mala kennels in Perth West Australia and came home with us when we lived in Exmouth. The one pic was taken after his first clip and the other is a ball game in Geralton WA where he was the team mascot. |

Dilbert had many friends and was loved by anyone that met him. He was my first Aussie and a great one. Dilbert loved life, he loved everybody, and almost everything. He was a great agility dog and showed great promise until he got cancer. Dilbert I love you. I always have and always will. I look forward to the day that we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. |
Duncan

This is my sweet Aussie boy, Duncan... 8/97 - 7/03. He's the blue merle I "never wanted"! When we went to look at the pups, my request was for a tri-color girl. The breeder put the merle puppies back in the kennel. We decided on the little girl that we wanted and were and getting ready to leave. I looked to my right, and there was the cutest little green-eyed, blue merle baby with his nose sticking through the chain-link. Quiety...just looking at us. I turned and said to my husband "Wait!" lol The rest is history. "Duncan" chose us, no doubt about it. |
Dundee

Dundee was the sweetest, gentlest Aussie we've ever known. Even in advancing years, he never seemed to lose that little puppy that was deep inside him. He became a special friend to his human mom Linda during times of ill health or sadness. When we lost the two girls Caighley and Matilda in 2001, Linda made a bargain with Dundee. A bargain that he stay with us until his thirteenth birthday this April of 2002. Linda could not bear the thought of losing one more dog in the same year. The deal was that if Dundee kept the bargain, he was free to go and Linda wouldn't be angry with him for leaving. Well, he kept the bargain and then some. He stayed with us till July 2002. |

To our precious Baby Foster, It happened so quickly, you were taken away from us just as fast as you came into our lives. You were such a big part of our daily routine, how will it ever feel the same now that your gone. You'll never know how much happiness you brought into our lives and how much you taught us. You were an amazing dog and we miss you dearly. (2 years 8 months). Mommy, Daddy and Chloe |

Pictured with my son Wyatt, Flyer was one of my first Aussies who tolerated a complete novice (me) trying to take on the world of versatility. We attended tracking and herding lessons, competed in Conformation, as well as trying our hand at Obedience classes. Flyer was a big part of our family of three rambuncious boys. A gentleman of a dog…we still miss you Flyer. |

On that Sunday morning we went to the local dog park, and afterwards my friend Anna went with us to our vet's house. Dr. J painlessly eased him out of this life. We all sat on the floor, Gadget was leaned up against my leg, and I stroked his head as he slipped away. His trust in me and in Dr. J made it easier for all of us. I had been thinking about it for awhile, especially as he was deteriorating the past few months. Finally I decided it was time, to keep him from suffering the indignities of his infirmities. It was hard to do the right thing for him but I am glad he was able to enjoy most of his last days....and a long, happy life. He was such a great companion all those years, even though his best days were long behind him. I adopted Gadget, a black tri, in Albuquerque, New Mexico when he was about 20 months old. I will admit to asking his former owner, "Are you sure he's an Australian Shepherd? I thought they were all that speckled gray." We later moved to Austin, Texas, and we spent a year in the Washington, DC area. Wherever we went, people wanted to know what kind of dog Gadget was. Thanks to the Internet, I hooked up with other Aussie people, and learned so much more about the breed and about being a better dog owner. This led me to Aussie Rescue, where I am devoting much time and energy. I didn't plan to do rescue work in his honor, but I want to help other Aussies have the chance to find new homes and perhaps as wonderful a relationship as I had with Gadget. |

Ginger was a special dog that came into Mike's life and heart . She touched Mike's heart and he became her forever home. She was still young and thrived with Mike and he with her. They formed a rare partnership of love and understanding. He understood her boundaries and stress-levels. They hiked a lot and she learned that life was good. Together they shared all of life's big and small adventures helping each other to overcome tremendous obstacles. While Mike convalesced from a tragic accident, being ran over by a truck, it was Ginger by his bedside urging him to get out of bed (as she had needs). It was Ginger who encouraged him to heal and work hard to recover, and fight depression. In a way she saved his life. They truly LOVED one another. As time flew her muzzle became grey and she suffered ailments as most older dogs and folks will. Mike endlessly, lovingly, and gently provided comforts as her life began to fade.. The void Ginger has left in Mike's home and heart will never be filled by another. There could never be another Ginger. She was truly a special dog sent from heaven. She shall always be missed. |

Gloria loved our grandchildren Jennifer and Keith. She & Keith were like velcro. Whenever the Grandkids came over, Gloria would ignore me & follow Keith all over the house. She also gave hugs. If I said "Where's my hug" she would come over to me, lean on me and put her leg around the back of my leg. There are so many wonderful things to say about her. She was so intelligent we had to spell everything. Gloria is loved and missed by all of us, she was our beautiful, happy Girl. We look forward to seeing her again at the Rainbow Bridge. |

Griddy was my first Aussie, as well as my 4-H, Junior showmanship, and Pets on Wheels dog. She was the best puppy raiser and started a horrible addiction to this wonderful breed. She always gave me 200% when I asked, and sometimes when I didn't. We made it through many battles, including ivermectin toxicity, but eventually lost her battle to lymphosarcoma. More importantly, she was my best friend and I miss her greatly. Now she is over the Rainbow Bridge playing frisbee with all of her old pals. She will be in our hearts forever! |

It's hard to describe a dog like Heather...she was the inspiration for the ASCA Parade of Rescues and, in fact, was the girl who led the first parade. |

"Nothin' says Lovin' like Rubbin' Indi's Nubbin'" - You were the most loyal and loving girl that we could have asked for....you made my pain seem small - and I know that we will meet again where we are both free from pain and sorrow. I miss you so much that words cannot express. I feel your spirit here - watching over us - as you used to do when on earth. Your time here was short - but your love goes on forever, as does our love for you. Your soul was pure and your heart was great - Little Fro - I will think of you always! There will be no other like you! Love, Mommy & Daddy, Cheyenne & your cats (who miss you picking them up by the head) |

Indy and Cooper both received most of their titles before AKC recognized Aussies. Both gentlemen were owned, loved and are sadly missed by Sandy Case, Celebrin Aussies. |
