Great Loupey! Love it.

Well, that gave me a big grin. Thought I was looking at my own dog for an instant and wondered what the heck she'd been up to when I was asleep.
Aussie's are great dogs.
Does yours cross its paws when lying prone?

So that's why mine sleeps so much :lol:

Teriffic photo and thanks for the smile.

We all need a chuckle every once in a while and this pic sure gave me mine for the day. Nice Loupey!

Beautiful dog, and great shot. Gave me a smile this morning :)

Thanks for looking and commenting, guys! I'm glad it made you smile :)

Great indeed. No better combination of intelligence, loyalty, athleticism, and obedience IMO.

Mine uses his paws like hands. He'll not only cross them but will hold a nylabone straight up so he can chew it easier. Not content to just fetch a ball the old fashion way, he will use his paws to return a tennis ball "soccer style" and then pounce on it with both paws at the last second to make the ball shoot back. He's now starting to retrieve a ball with just his nose while holding a nylabone in his mouth.

I've met a lot of people who either had or have an Aussie and have not heard of even one negative experience - that's an amazing testament. I've heard breeders refer to aussies as "velco dogs" because they are so attached to their owners.

Attached indeed a bit too much for my taste but we're both learning still.
She doesn't have quite as much of a fit if I close the bathroom door on her anymore.

Mine loves empty plastic 2 litre bottles which she bats around with her paws and fetches.
I have noticed that she uses her paws a lot more than other dogs I've known.
