Welcome to all you newcomers to the school. My name is Fran and I live in Tenn.. I have slowed down this week with my studies a little since I got a 3 month old Aussie puppy on Monday. His name is Lucky and is doing fine with training and housebreaking and such. I am not used to getting up several times a night to take him outside to relieve himself. I take him on a leash since I have heard that Aussies need to be supervised to stay out of trouble. I will sacrifice sleep to keep Lucky safe. Think he will someday be Lucky the herb dog (2.0 since doc has the original herb dog). He already likes to go on herb walks looking for dandelions , plantain and mullein in our yard and around the farm. He is terrified of roosters still. I don’t blame him since they are bigger than he is right now. He also avoids the barn cats because we all know cats are sharp everywhere. Hope you love the school as much as I do. Fran
