Indy is THREE

We weren't sure that we would survive Indy reaching THREE years old, but the day finally arrived and we're still here!!  She has been a bundle of energy since the day we brought her home, and she has showed no signs of letting up any time soon.  Usually though, Australian Shepherds are known for their brains finally getting attached to their bodies at the age of THREE!  The jury is still out on Indy.  :)

Indy is quite the sweetheart of a little dog.  She loves everyone, even though she is sometimes skittish at first, and she has an incredible disposition.  Her curiosity in everything that moves is very entertaining (for both her and us). Indy loves her daily walks -- even though she still pulls on the leash -- and she is showing more and more independence all of the time.  She still loves to give and receive love; rubbing her chest or her warm little belly are sure to bring a smile to her face!  Oh, and let's not forget her love of food -- both dog and human!  She has been known to destroy shoes and baskets because there was ONE piece of doggie kibble in the shoe or basket, and she just HAD to have it.

Well, here she is sporting her birthday pose, up close and personal.
Look at that face!  This is vintage Indy!


This shot is a little further back...


Oh, and don't think she doesn't get spoiled on her birthday.
Look at her stash!  Can you believe that is all for ONE dog!


Here she is checking out the goods... 


"Did I hear a squirrel?" 


"This one smells particularly good!" 


And finally, here she is posing with all of her goods.  Isn't she a good little dog? 


Happy 3rd Birthday Indy!
