Got a new floppy eared best mate on the weekend. Astro

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Astro! Adorable.

I'm giving about 1/2 a week on those thongs, 1 week on the washing basket. 2 on the rug.

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

He does love the thongs already lmao. Diverting his attention to the 5000 fluffy toys my partner has purchased is the main goal at the moment

[-] OIP@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

astro you little champ

[-] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Gorgeous! Astro looks like a handful but in the best kinds of way.

[-] BigWhiteDog@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Astro is adorable! What breed?

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Kelpie x collie. He's going to be a maniac

[-] BigWhiteDog@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I hope you have somewhere between 500 and 1000 sheep in the yard...

Or anything else that can be rounded up. Children, chickens…

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Socks, shoes, remote controls, various food items.

Small children will also do, in a pinch.

There’s a kind of toy called a “herding ball” that might be good for him.

It’s a weighted ball - you fill it with water or sand - that’s too big for him to get his mouth around it, so if he wants to take it anywhere he has to push it along and guide it so it comes with him. Basically he’d be proxy-herding it instead of you everywhere he goes. It might help give him an outlet and a job to do, so he’s productive instead of destructive.

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah nice I'll give them a look, cheers

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe herding tennis balls will help. My old kelpie/heeler cross loved his bicycle tyre on a rope tied to a tree branch. Hours of chewable and swingable fun.

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I had a kelpie a while ago, makes golf practice in the backyard easy. He would bring the ball back for hours at a time

[-] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Hello babyyy!! What a sweetie!

[-] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Aww, look at those floppy ears!

[-] oztrin@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Hello Astro! scruffles ears

[-] Seagoon@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Is it just me or does Astro look like he's smoking a fag?

[-] oztrin@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Not just you. :)

[-] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago
