Six months ago my housemate Minh got a puppy.  The tiny pup is an Australian Shepherd with blue eyes and a pinkish nose. He has a fondness for cuddling, jumping, and can drink gallons of water if you let him.

You always hear “Take lots of pictures” when you have a newborn baby or pet. We were so busy potty training, cleaning up accidents, and building doggie play spaces in the past 6 months! I finally got around to looking thru his first photos, and regret not taking more. He was half the size of Foxy, and now he towers over her. The little dog bed pictured below can no longer fit this hyper Aussie.

Austin is named after his owner’s hometown in Texas because he reminds Minh of “home”. Cute huh? Austin took obedience classes at Petco in his first few months, then Obedience courses with a private dog handler named Penny. He is currently taking Agility courses and learning more advanced commands. We can’t wait to show you more photos of Austin soon!

So take lots of puppy pictures! You won’t regret it.
