Hi BandiTank...Yes, Eli's a black tri Aussie! (You could no doubt tell from that mischievous, defiant smirk he has in the "panties pic.") He turned one year old last month and is our frisbee dog extraordinaire. He's our first Aussie and we love him to pieces!

Your Bandit was an absolutely gorgeous blue merle, and that airborne photo is fabulous! (I've tried to get similar action pics of Eli, but they're all just blurs.) Aren't Aussies amazing? Would you consider another one someday to replace your beloved Bandit?
