would learn things like: |

 "Well,
we got our little Koda finally. He came to us thru all the
efforts of all 3 breeders associated with TMA, and I want to
thank all of you.First off, from Carousel Aussies, Bonita, made this happen. She is the one who had the litter Koda came from, and he is beautiful. She provided top notch concern and care, especially during a really tough time in her personal life. Thank You Bonita, for our little gift from heaven. Coda has been a joy since the minute we got him! He was delivered to us by Jean Burke, of Burke Farms, and she had the worst day trying to get him to us! She drove from Oklahoma to Texas, to pick him up and fly him, through DFW to Phoenix. She was bumped from 2 flights, and ended up spending many hours until she could catch a flight to Las Vegas, then catch another flight back to Phoenix. Because this was a whole day affair, she then had to spend the night before heading home. She REALLY went above and beyond for us! Thank You Jean, for hand delivering Koda. Then there is Karla, who co-ordinated this whole affair. With many phone calls, emails and chats, she kept everyone in the loop up-to-date, with all the information. Thank You Karla, for helping keep this adventure all together! It took 3 women to make our delivery of Koda a reality, and we thank you ALL so very, very much!!!  He has slept all night from the very beginning. He is VERY friendly - even if it's not reciprocated. He would rather play tug-of-war than to sit and kiss. He has now taken a liking to our lambs wool feather duster, and I am sure he thinks its a real sheep of some kind. We have 3 big dogs, and they have come to accept him as a little brother. (The little brother that loves to bug you). He's climbing on them, trying to snuggle up close, shaking that little butt of his, acting like he's been part of our LITTER the whole time. And we have a cat. Enough said... Coda loves to bark at him, and the cat will just look at him like he's crazy. Now to keep Koda out of sharing the cat box! We've already taught him to 'sit'. We are having a harder time with 'stay'. He's pretty energetic - to put it mildly. We put together a little ramp up to the couch, and now he gets up and down at lightening speed, and LOVES to drag things (shoes, toys, feather duster, etc) up the couch with him. They now "belong" to him... He's a very cute, happy and loving puppy, and fitting in just great with our family. Even our older dogs are starting to act like puppies again!" Vicki Shade Tree Aussies, Burke Farms and Carousel Aussies would like to Thank Vicki for the wonderful home for such a special puppy.

 IVIE"I have to say she is a dream come true. I still miss my dog that died and cry for her sometimes, but Ivie is definitely helping my heart heal. I know I made the right choice for a breed. Her personality is delightful. We play chase outside. When I get ahead of her I will squat down and she will jump into my arms. She has already barked at the my roommate's big lab just to let him know who is boss. She is already showing signs of protecting me from sounds she is not sure of. Thanks again for your hospitality and for helping me fill the hole in my heart with such a perfect match." From Sharron Visit Carousel Aussies for more puppies like this one. |

 Little Bit and Silver, now
Amaroo and Boomer (he is from Oklahoma)
"I'm so sorry it has taken so long we have just enjoyed them so much no one has wanted to put one of them down and pick up a camera. Their first week here they thought the Utah  weather was
extremely cold. We took them out to feed the horses with us and they wimped out half way through and spent the rest of our time inside in my
coveralls. I have called them hell on wheels when they get to playing
they run like they have jet engines as their back legs. So that
they could go outside and find some grass, after every snow storm my dad
would go out with the tractor and scrape the snow off the lawn. Don't
worry they really started to like the snow after a while they now look
for the snow to jump, dig, play, and tackle one another. They really
like the barn now, and all the cats, since they are their size.
When I just grab my purse Roo (Little Bit) starts to bark at me and grab
onto my legs, but she doesn't bite she wraps her legs around mine!

 JUDGE"Judge did GREAT last night. He only woke up and whimpered one time all night. He and Jacquelynne get along great. She just laughs and smiles when he comes around her and he just wants to lick her hands and face." From Drew  Up-Date; August 2008, Judge is 10 months old in the picture to the right. He now weights 12 pounds and is around 13 inches tall.

 ANGEL"Angel is doing great and has really taken to the family. Her favorite job is going upstairs every morning and waking up the boys. She pounces on them and licks them in the face until they get up. I’m not sure who enjoys the wake up calls the most - the boys or Angel. Here is a picture of Angel with our oldest son, Tyler, who is 8 years old. He took her picture to show-and-tell at school today." From Dan

 HOLLY"She is doing great!!!!!! I have never had so much joy in a puppy. My family has tried to take her home with them on several occasions. She has bonded to me and my Sharpei, Belle loves her. Belle watches over her and even lets her play with her toys. Things are going great. We are still working on the potty training, but that will come. She is so smart. Thanks so much for such a wonderful addition to my family. Thanks again." From Beverly

When
my dad gets ready in the mornings Boomer (Silver) will grab a hold of
either his socks or his pant leg and just start to tugging on him! But
what makes it really worth it is when we come home. When I let Roo out
of her kennel or if someone already let her out as soon as she hears me
or sees me she is by my side trying to kill me with kisses. She can
never seem to give too many I normally have to tell her I have had enough
so that she will stop. As soon as my Dad calls Boomer those jet engines
kick on and as well as his little butt is wagging so fast I'm
surprised he hasn't lifted off! Thank you so much I just want you to
know how much we all have enjoyed them!" From Nickole
they have given our little
princess. |
