Artist’s Thoughts:  My Australian Shepherd, Rooby, passed last September at age 16. I purchased her from a neighbor who had her mother, an Alaska State Champion. My previous dog was an Australian Cattle dog purchased in Oklahoma, and I really enjoyed her abilities and personality. After I discovered that my neighbor’s dog had puppies, I decided to get an Australian Shepherd. Rooby was a great dog. She was kind, protective, an air dog who caught frisbees and balls, and a major part of my life. I got her soon after my 20 year marriage ended, and she helped me make it through every day.
