How do you make sure that sassy little Aussie becomes yours? Watch and learn, my friends, watch and learn…
First, you pretend to let her win at wresting…
Then you wait by her side… at the ready in case she needs a hand tackling a big ‘ol Rottweiler that weighs 5 times as much as she does…
Then you show her how fast you are — and you go chase that big ‘ol Rottweiler…
You go for the laughs. Really, how could anyone resist a dog who can find THE ONE mud hole on an entire 9 acres of property? She is certain to be impressed by that!
And who could blame you for trying? Because seriously — don’t we make just the cutest pair EVER? Clearly, she is meant to be mine.
