Here are a few of our more recent dogs that have turned a new leaf.

     "Sky"

About four years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Blew and Gary
Roberts while they were hiking with their Aussies, Justin and Jiggs in South
Mountain Park.  I was extremely impressed with the beauty and the demeanor of
their four legged friends.  During our conversation I found out that Linda
and Gary had rescued their dogs through Aussie Rescue of Arizona.  Now you
have to understand that I have had nothing but German Shepherds as companions
my whole adult life.  I was so taken by Justin and Jiggs that I obtained
Linda's phone number and told her that  I would call her when my old German
Shepherd female went to Doggie Heaven.

Four years later, almost to the day, I contacted Linda and Gary and told them
the sad news of the loss of my German Shepherd.  I asked Linda to help me
find an available Aussie to adopt that loved children ( as I have four
grandchildren ).  After several weeks had passed, Linda informed me that
Alice Corrado had a seven week old Blue Merle Aussie ( with a tail ), from an
unwanted breeding that was available for adoption. The puppy was living in a
foster home in Peoria, AZ being cared for by a very wonderful and dog smart
foster parent named Stacy. I made an appointment to visit the puppy named
"Sky" and off I went to Peoria.  When Stacy introduced me to Sky it was a
done deal.  This little blue eyed ball of energy with a tail, was what I had
been hoping for.  Sky has been a member of our family for about two months
now and has brought us nothing but joy.  He is a permanent attachment to our
grandchildren as well as to my wife and I.  He is a picture of health and is
due to get neutered on November 14, 2000.  Sky is so intelligent.  He knows
how to heel, sit, down, sit at curbs before being invited to heel across the
street.  He even knows how to roll over, speak and is learning how to track. 
Stacey had taught Sky how to use a doggie door so house breaking him was a
snap.  He only goofed once and that was during the first few minutes after I
had brought him home. Sky is now enjoying the good life, especially hanging
out at our home in Payson and getting to know his new friend horse friend
Navajo.

Thank you Alice, Linda,Gary and Stacy for bringing a tremendous amount of
joy to my family for many years to come. Your caring and dedication is an
example for us all to emulate.
