Happy Birthday Kali!!!!
Kali - my first ever Aussie and the "best damn truck dog" in the world, turns 11 years old today! WOO HOO!!! This is even more impressive considering not many of her relatives make it past 10 and she's already lost 2 siblings to cancer.
Kali, who was *supposed* to be my husbands dog, determinedly decided (at the advanced age of 6 weeks) that I was her person. Period. No more discussion allowed. She has always typified those qualities that make Aussies such wonderful beasties: she is fanatically loyal (unless someone else has food,) completely unflappable, 100% trustworthy, gorgeous, and my main side kick. So while I couldn't take her on a beach romp today the way she deserves, we did play some ball and she had a pretty darn good time. And she looks pretty spiffy for her age!
Isn't she pretty?

This one is my favorite - Kali & Kane:
More Family shots:
Kali finally GOT the ball once or twice :-)
And Kat tired herself out making sure all the Aussies stayed together.
