Australian Shepherds are wonderful dogs — they’re loyal, smart, and full of mischief. Plus, their butts are fluff-tastic. Here’s what it’s like to own an Aussie, in pictures.
1. As puppies, they’re so gosh darn squishy.
“My pink paws look delectable, don’t they?”
2. I mean, just look at this thing.
“Who, me?”
3. Are you friggin’ kidding me?
“I is a little chubby.”
4. The head tilts are a constant.
“Dog does not compute.”
5. Australian Shepherds are known for their fluffy derrieres.
“I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.”
6. They excel at agility.
“Baby, I’m a star!”
7. And many love to swim.
“Will…swim…miles…for…stick…”
8. They’ve got energy for days.
“Throw it again. Throw it again. Throw it again.”
9. They play with open mouths. Always.
“Wanna make it look like we’re murdering each other?”
“Oh, for sure.”
10. They love bomb their family members.
“This is no longer your human. Our human. She belongs to us now.”
11. And side-eye strangers.
“Ahem. May I help you?”
12. The food drive is strong.
“Oh, hey there. Hi. Any food…or? Okay, cool, cool, just checking.”
13. Some will chew when left alone too long…
“Great news! I got a little bored, so I sorted your mail.”
14. But the guilt face wins you over every time.
“Dog is sorry.”
15. It’s hard to stop at just one Australian Shepherd.
“We are three times the cuteness and three times the trouble.”
16. They’ll love you ’til the bitter end.
“Come here, let me gently sniff your nose.”
