Here's an update on Patches! I got to see him for the first time since he was 8 weeks old.. he'll be a year old in June. I went to Minnesota to stay a week with my dad. Patches is certainly quite the character! He's VERY hyper. I mean, I'm not kidding, he's insane with energy. lol I only got these pictures because I was playing with him for over an hour and he was hot and took a rest. He's just sooo wiggly and happy, very sweet and loves attention. He doesn't have very good self control, has a hard time learning things unless he has run and run and run a few minutes before... however, he's very smart! Knows lots of commands- sit, down, stay, off, out, kennel, speak, shake, etc. Anyways, I had a fun time getting to know him. I just love him and wanted to take him home with me. hehe He just sheds A LOT!!! If your thinking of getting an Aussie, prepared to have hair in every crevice of your home and in your food. LOL
Here's a video of when I got there and he was super excited, this pretty much describes Patches in 30 seconds. lol
Sorry for the bad quality, it was taken with my crappy cell phone.
He is just an absolutely gorgeous dog. His butt is like extra furry compared to the rest of his body. lol Instead of trying to herd the cows, he licks their noses. lol, he wouldn't be much of a herding dog if you ask me
He's also bigger than I thought he would be, my guess is around 50 pounds. He jumps up on you and his paws touch your shoulders!

You're right about him having so much energy. Hopefully he'll calm down some as he gets older. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures of him with us.
