Last week was a really hard for me. We have been searching and trying to find a place to live in KY for seminary that would allow us to have Ace and we were just not able to find anything that would work. So last week we gave Ace away. He is going to a family living in Arkansas to live on a farm with other Aussies. I am sure he will love them just as he did to us. Here are 10 things I will miss about our little buddy.
1. He was always happy to greet us when we came home regardless if we were not so happy to see that he had gotten into the garbage.
2. He loved going for a walk and anytime we would say “walk” or “park” he would go nuts and run and jump and bark at us.
3. He hated bath time so we tried not to give him too many. But when he did get a bath he would jump out of the tub and run like crazy feeling the wind against his fur and rub his wet fur on everything, even our clean pile of clothes on the floor.
4. He loved riding in the car and playing his game of catch the car. He never won but it made us laugh a lot.
5. He loved to snuggle. This was a new thing for us though, he only started doing this about a year ago. He would actually curl up on the couch next to us and lay his head on out leg. So stinking cute!
6. He hated guard drill weekends, and I was not a fan of that either. He would mope around all weekend while Mike was away, not eat for the first day and just act like he was pouting.
7. He loved to sing! We would turn on music really loud and dance around and sing and add in our own howls for him to sing along with us.
8. Apphia never learned to say Ace she called him “ruff ruff” not the word, the sound. That was his name to her.
9. Being a herding dog he would try and gather us up by pushing around our feet to get us to take him outside or go with us in the car.
10. Giving kisses. He loved licking us till we needed a facial. He especially loved licking Mike, I would tell Mike that he choose him because sweats out coffee!
This is Aces first picture!
