Welcome home, Mason! Boy he sure is cute. You'll learn quickly two big things about Aussies - a) they are super smart and b) they are bossy! They'll use their intelligence to try and out-think you, so you always have to be on your feet! Congrats on bringing the little guy home.

Oh my, Mason is absolutely precious!
He's so cute that I think he deserves his very own introduction thread. :D

Mason is beautiful!!! :D

I agree with RJM that he needs his own Introduction thread. We would all love to greet him properly. 8)

Haha okay! I will do a proper introduction after today. We are going to take him out to this awesome field full of wild flowers right by my house. (Prime photo shoot opportunity)

They mowed the beautiful field of flowers! Oh sad day. I'm going to go ahead and introduce him.

Ps... Feliz belated Cinco de Mayo :)

Slightly sensitive tummy here. As long as I keep her on a raw diet she does fine, also fine on high quality grain free kibble and many fruits and vegetables. Since she will eat anything in sight, and anything she can get (like cubes of butter or blocks of cheese off the counter before we knew to be careful of her excellent counter surfing skills) we are careful about what we give her or what she has access to. An adorable, happy girl... :D

That Cinco De Mayo picture of Mason is adorable!! Glad he has his own thread now :mrgreen:

Larfing I have two Australian Shepherds, one is the full brother to the OP who started this thread. I have no issues with their tummy, I do believe it comes down to a good diet and not allowing them to eat other things. Be careful of some veggies and fruits, some are toxic. I feed Raw with kibble, they do great. I do not allow counter surfing, too much butter can be a huge medical problem. I keep things like that off the counter, just to be safe.

The Cinco de Mayo picture is hilarious! You really should add that to the Intro thread as well. More people will see it there, and it is worth seeing. :D 8)

Kian, sometimes I forget that Ice is a full brother to Marco, only different litters. Speaking of Marco, we haven't seen or heard much about him lately. How is he doing? I'm dying to see some "family pics". The next time you speak to MM, let her know we're missing the photo updates on here. :D

Hey there!

Its been a long time since I have been back on the DP forums. I posted a few updated pictures to Masons intro, but I thought that I would say hi here to the people who know me from this line of posts! Little Mason's 14 week old birthday is today. I am about to flood his album with a months load of new pics. He is an awesome adorable little bugger!
