Deck the halls, mail your cards and shop early...so that you too can join us in sharing the excitement of our early Christmas gifts arrival, here at RJM Aussies.
Trumpets announce their anticipated December 10th arrival...as the band plays on, declaring our fantastic news.
Stay tuned...the fun's about to begin and what a Christmas this will be, my friends!!!!!

RJM Just A Black Tie Affair DNA-VP
&
RJM Destiny's Crowning Jewel DNA-CP

In unison the trio waddles and eyes are opening...next comes the hearing and more stability about their motor skills. Oh yes...the vocal part is yet to come.

All three are very sweet, healthy, fat and content. What a wonderful Christmas...with puppy thoughts abounding...and I must say, 3 fantastic homes await their arrivals in February.

These three are some of our very finest and it is with great pride, I present them:

RJM River's Hidden Jewel

"Mr. Packie "

Packie & Coogan - Christmas 2011

Our dear Packie is now 4 months old and growing like a weed!

He has settled into our routine and getting more and more comfortable with his surroundings, including Cousin Coogan.
I've attached some recent pics for your viewing enjoyment! Packie's markings are stunning and his blue eyes so big and bright!
He's a beautiful contrast to Coogan's tri-color markings. Packie is becoming a loving little man and enjoys some quality cuddle time with Mom & Dad.
We thought we should enjoy this for as long as we can, since he will soon be too big to have on our laps!

Still, he will on occasion go into "attack" mode, but really more of a playful romp. We're enjoying walks since the weather turned nice, and he's doing great after being introduced to the gentle leader. We've taken both the boys to frolic off-leash at a local park and they wear themselves out after running wild and free for about an hour.

Then, it's back home for a little afternoon nap on the deck. Riding in the car is great fun, and Coogan has decided it's okay for Packie to go along, so long as he doesn't interfere with his "flying" time. Packie has not yet graduated to the window, but will soon enough I'm sure.

We're having twice the fun now, and showering them with twice the love, too! Things just couldn't be better! Thank you for heightening our happiness!

Take care...your loyal Aussie friends,
Susan & Tom

This handsome Blue Merle boy couldn't wait to join cousin Coogan

Hiya Judy! Here is our 2-week report. All is going beautifully. Packie is almost housebroken already, such a smart boy! Our biggest challenge is the bonding between the two naturally. We give them time together to adjust, then a much needed separation when things get a little too aggressive. But, we see progress each day so I'm sure it's just a matter of time. We've wasted no time in getting Packie out for walks up and down the sidewalk. The exercise is great and when he's tired, he'll nap and give us some quiet time. I've attached a precious photo of our boys which I think you'll enjoy. Tomorrow we're going out to socialize, maybe a walk in the park for a bit since it's supposed to be really warm.

Coogan is adjusting slowly but surely, and I haven't broken our routine of "mommy and me" time, our trips to the grocery store, rides in the car (just us). Packie had his first grooming experience this afternoon. First he watched his big brother get a trimming and brushing on up on our grooming table. Then it was Packie's turn, got a nice little brushing to familiarize him with the exercise for future puppy spa sessions. ;-)

We're a happy little family and enjoying every minute of it! We'll continue to keep you posted.

Your loyal Aussie friends, Susan & Tom

Here's a lovely quote I received today in card from Coogan and Packie's parents:

"Aussies are Angels disguised in fur who remind us of love!"

CJ is Momma to Stormy and Diva...and River is the proud first time Daddy.

Through this long awaited cross, we are blending highly respected pedigrees within the breed, not to mention enumerable HOF dogs, backing and accenting unlimited potential in these pups!
