The Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is also known as the Aussie. It is a  robust and medium sized dog. They are easy going dogs that have a puppy-like behavior their whole life. They are courageous and make great watch dogs. They are great with children because they love to play. They are attentive, intelligent, and eager to please, making them easy to train. They are gentle with humans. They require a lot exercise and something to keep their mind busy or they will develop behavior problems.Daily walks, bike rides or jogs are needed to keep this dog healthy physically and mentally.  Some Aussies nip at your heels as an act of herding, this behavior must be corrected right away. They are usually not dog aggressive if they are socialized as a puppy. Males dogs are 20-23 inches tall and weigh 50-65 pounds. Females are 18-21 inches tall and are 40-55 pounds. They need to have a large yard and are not recommended too live in apartments. They live 12-15 years. They are easy to groom and are an average shedder. Make sure that when you are looking at puppies that they are not blind or deaf because this is a common health problem in the breed. Some are prone to hip displaysia.

Junefest 2013 at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church

On Friday June 14th my church St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church held their first annual Junefest. We invited everyone in town to come.  It was to raise money to pay off the debt of our new building. I helped with the games with my friend and brother. It was fun and I think we had a good turn out. There was live music, food, games, raffle, silent auction, and a  cake walk. The silent auction and raffle prizes were crazy! The church had so much donated and really huge prizes. It was nice hanging out with fellow parishoners and welcoming people from the community. I don't now how much the church made, but I hope that it was enough to at least pay off some debt!

Goldfish

I bought two goldfish about a year ago and they have grown so much! I  named them both after characters from the TV show LOST. I love the show LOST, it is amazing! The black moor is named Boone(season 1) and the gold one is Penny(Desmond's girlfriend). I bought them from the feed store in town. They are fun to watch and are very easy pets. This picture is not very good haha! Penny looks like her eye is blurred but it's just a smudge on the glass.
