The ButtWaggers
Bathtime at our place is so enjoyable the dogs just line up to be next :)
We offer boarding for the pets of people who go on vacation so that while you are on vacation your precious dog will be on his own vacation. He'll be loved and cared for like one of our own and have a blast so don't be surprised if he's tired when he goes home. We will also offer bathing for medium and large dogs during the warmer months. Our rates are reasonable so give us a call 903-922-0156.

Poor little Sugar was the only one who couldn't reach the fountain/bird bath. 2008-12-30
Honey & Uncle Handsome
Handsome is Honey's Uncle. I don't think they look alike, do you? 2008-12-30
"Sit, Good Dogs!"
Chrissy works on obedience training with 4. Works best after they burn some energy playing. 2008-12-31
Our Dogs (except Jake)
I wish Jake was in this picture. Almost a family portrait. Don't ya love how both Aussies pose the same? And let us not overlook the Majestic Bones with his little court jester, Sugar. 2009-01-09

Posing for me "the photonut" on the front lawn in December. Some pictures just turn out so perfect!
2008-12-03
Chrissy, Bones & Frankie
Bones is so funny as I was taking pictures of the kids before the game he just casually walked over and positioned himself between them as if to say "I'm ready". Does he know he's a pet and not another of my children? 2008-09-27
Bones & Honey
They are so cooperative with my picture taking. Bones is almost 4 and Honey is 6 months. 2008-09-27
3 in-a-row
Honey jumps 3 in-a-row and makes every one so gracefully! What a Pup! 2008-07-17
Honey & Chrissy
Honey gets lots of lovin' at our house. Probably more than she can stand. 2008-05-27
Siesta Honey
This one I call "Honey after an all-you-can-eat buffet". Does it remind you of anyone? 2008-05-28
Agility Honey
To make sure Honey has plenty of opportunity to burn off her Aussie puppy energy we play with some home made agility equipment. She loves it! The tunnels are her favorites. 2008-09-10
Honey jumps
Chrissy walks Honey thru some of her beginner agility jumps to introduce her to the idea. 2008-09-10
Honey's favorite
Honey loves to run thru the tunnels. This was her first tunnel. She now has 2 more larger (9') tunnels in the yard to run thru. 2008-06-30
Honey jumps
Our yard has become a puppy/doggie playground. She absolutely loves her playground. 2008-06-23

These two are a pair. Can you tell someone likes Batman? 2008-09-09
Frankie
Frankie's ready for school and wishes he could take Bones with him. 2008-09-09
Frankie & Honey
Frankie was rehearsing "Peek-a-boo" with Honey. If there's anything sweeter than a child or a pup it's a child and a pup playing together. 2008-08-23
Peek-a-boo!
Frankie stands at a distance from Honey with his back to her and spreads his feet apart while saying "peek-a-boo" then Honey comes over between his legs and looks up at him. It's a real crowd pleaser at the nursing homes. 2008-08-23
Bones & Chrissy

Honey
She's growing so fast. Her coat is coming in so beautifully. She gets a lot of compliments on her coloring. 2008-09-01
Honey
Catching the frisbee. Frisbee is her favorite game to play and she does it so well, even at the young age of 6 months. 2008-09-01
Sugar, Honey, Frankie & Bones
Would you believe this was a spontanious picture that my 10 year old, Chrissy, took with her camera? How perfect is that? 2007-08-30
Honey 5 months old
Honey starts school to enhance children's desire to read. 2008-08-12
Bones 3 1/2 yrs
Bones just chillin on the lush front lawn. He loves to step out of the house on sunny days and sun himself. Because of his amazing ability to fly (gracefully jump) over fences we keep him as a house dog for his own safety from traffic, cayotes, people with guns. He's the biggest baby in the family (and I have a 5 year old child). 2008-05-03
Jake's smile.jpg
Jake's is my oldest Aussie (10 yrs) and my first experience with this amazing breed. We call him the babysitter because he looks after the kids and guards them at play. 2008-04-30
Sugar
Sugar.doesn't stop for long but I was able to get this quick picture after raking leaves into a large pile last fall. 2007-11-04
Honey
Honey's 5 month portrait. 2008-08-07
Bones & Frankie
Bones is our "GENTLE GIANT" and we love him dearly! Most of the time you don't even know there's a dog in the house (when it's just him) 2006-10-30
Sugar 5 months
Sugar 5 Months old 2006-11-11. I've had a really hard time training Sugar because she already acquired bad habits before I got her at this late age. It's not so much the age as it was the bad habits. But we're not giving up on our precious little loveable Sugar Cookie. She has so much potential.
Jake 10
Jake is my beautiful red tri Australian Shepherd. He is 12 yrs old and just as spry as a pup due to top quality food, love and vet care. If you're interested in owning a beautiful Aussie give me a call and apply to reserve 903-922-0156. They will only go to suitable homes. If the breeding goes well pups should be born in March and ready for new homes 8 wks after that. These will be amazing dogs with the proper care and training.

This little stinker always appears to have a smile on her face. ALWAYS! 2008-04-26
Honey reads?
Honey is really smart and can do lots of things but no matter how hard she tries, she just can't read. Won't you please come read to Honey? 2008-08-12
Goofing around
Playing on the bed when they wake up in the morning is one of their wake up routines. 2008-07-01

Jake red tricolor male Australian Shepherd. "THE GUARDIAN" 2008-04-30
Sugar & Frankie
An every day sight at our house. Kids lounging/playing with the dogs. Pets are so great for kids and kids for pets (as long as the children are taught the proper way to play with and care for their pets). Pet peave of mine is parents who think everything their child does is adorable - even abusing the family pet. Children should learn early the proper way to treat their animals. 2008-04-26
Chrissy 10 with Honey
Honey is only about 2 months old in this picture and already knows how to fetch the newspaper. I'm tellin' you, Aussies are AWESOME! I'm constantly thinking up new stuff/tricks to teach her. She thrives on it and can't wait to learn new stuff. 2008-06-13

Another common (every morning) site at my house. 2007-11-04

In training
Chrissy works with Honey and some of her simpler commands like, sit, stay, focus. 2008-06-13
Sleepy Head Honey
This picture speaks for itself. Honey is so irresistable it drives Chrissy nuts that she doesn't like snuggling. If you try to snuggle her she gets up and moves to the foot of the bed. Chrissy is a snuggler like Bones. 2008-06-13
Bones & Honey
After playing on Chrissy's bed they stopped to pose for this picture. 2008-07-01
Big Baby Bones
Chrissy was unaware of me taking this picture until later on. 2007-09-30 Now this is a dog who loves to cuddle!
Chrissy snuggles Bones
Bones has got to be the biggest snuggler I've ever seen. He never tires or gets uncomfortable with someone's arms around him. He'll actually sleep in Chrissy's arms all night long. 2007-09-30
Sugar & Chrissy
Similar expressions on their faces. 2008-04-26
Sugar Cookie
Our little (untrained) Sugar. I can't wait to get the training DVD in so I can see if this technique works for training her wired up spirit. 2008-02-05
Sugar
What a smile! I so hope to get her trained so she can join me at nursing homes. 2008-02-05

Honey
Honey finds a book titled "Beware of Dog". I think she is more intrigued by the picture on the cover. 10 months old 2009-01-23
Honey Listens
Honey listens as the student reads her book out loud. Reading out loud improves comprehension and reading skills and reading to Honey is fun for the students. 2009-01-23
Honey @ Northside School
After some basic safety tips around dogs and tricks for intertaining the kids Honey received an abundance of love from the children. 2008-10-02

Happy Trails
I love everything about this picture. Little brother looking up and holding the hand of big sister as they walk the road of life together with their faithful friend, Shep. I took it as we were walking away from a child's birthday party where Shep was enjoyed by all the guests. What a great memory of the special occassion. 2007-05-04

Even at a very young age Chrissy has been fascinated with horses (and other animals) 2008-09-18
Although I've always been aware of the characteristics of this awesome breed of dog I hope to work thru some of it by early training and socialization. I still hope to work thru these aspects of her personality but might have to stop the visitations until she's comfortable with strangers approaching once again. She has also become more vocal (when she gets excited or wants to perform) which is something I do not accept during visits at nursing homes unless I give the command. Because she is a young dog/pup I may just start the therapy training with another of my pets and just let Honey be an active/hyper/fun loving dog until she gets older and settles down on her own. I'd never want to break any dog's spirit but only mold them into a great companion and enjoyable pet. But whatever I decide, she will always be happy to perform her tricks for folks and small audiences wherever we go. It's one of the things that puts the sparkle in her eyes and perks her ears.
That's one smart PUPPY!
(and the children probably were also). Because of her AWESOME AUSSIE personality she actually helped me remember not to talk too much and kept the program/presentation from being boring. She was great! When I announced that it was time for Honey to do some tricks she immediately sprung to her feet, ears perked and 
eyes all a sparkle with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth! This is one special pup! No doubt about that! I'm not used to speaking in front of a crowd and Honey helped me so much!
"I have the best new home any dog could dream of with acres and acres to run and play with my doggie brothers and sisters. It even has a river and lots of visitors and the best part of all is my new Mommy already loves me - I can just sense it. If she were a dog, she'd be a Golden, because she has a really big heart."
