My son is planning a cross-country road trip Thursday. Really bad idea, right?

Oh me!! We got a little red aussie just before Xmas, and he is a ball of biting cuteness. When he’s tired or just woken, he’s adorable, othertimes, not so much. :smiley:

He starts Puppy Classes tomorrow…

There’s one up for adoption at my local county shelter (Iowa). An older model but probably healthier than an Ohio Amish puppy mill puppy. Unless she came from one originally as well (no provenance on her). http://www.thepuppymillproject.org/amish-puppy-mills/

Whoops, I’ve just discovered that what you Merkins call an Australian sheepdog doesn’t actually come from Australia. We have Red Heelers which are another breed entirely. And they are called Heelers for a very good reason. :smiley:

Finally got a pic of the puppy. He is so sweet. Haven’t met him yet, but he looks very soft. They say he is really well-behaved and he certainly looks healthy.
