Hello From Byrd

Hi, I'm Byrd and I'm new. ;)

I live in a smaller city just east of Toronto :ca: with my thiscloseto 9-month-old Red Tri Australian Shepherd, Willow, and my two cockatiels, Aquila & Corvus. (I had a Siberian Husky who passed away on June 9, 2004 at the age of 15).

I'm very recently separated from my boyfriend of four years (common-law husband of one year) and am living on my very own for the first time, well, not by myself as I have Willow to protect me and keep me busy. I'm a 31-year-old female, who pretty much matches my dog. :crazy:

I have many hobbies, like surfing the net, watching the tube, reading, writing, art, taking Willow for her nightly hour long jaunts to the park, and I hope to soon get into Flyball with her as I think she really does have all the credentials for it.

Hmmm that's about it in a nutshell. Any questions fire away! :thumbs up

:pawprint:

Welcome to the board!! I have a question... :) Can you post some pics of your furries (and featheries)?

Welcome aboard Byrd!! Yes... Pics!!!! We LOOOOVE pics :):)

Okay, not sure if I have any of the birds, but I do of the dogs. Also check out Willow's website (my sig).

Willow the high jumper.

My Beauty Queen:

My first baby, Wolf.

They're so beautiful!! (And talented!) :)

Beautiful!!!
and those eyes!!!

Which one?

both of them! they both have striking eyes!!

Both Willow and Wolf are beautiful looking dogs. I'm sorry you lost Wolf. I have an Aussie mix and she would definitely be a great agility candidate if I had the time. Welcome to the board!

Welcome Byrd.

Beautiful dogs.I too am sorry about Wolf.

Welcome to the Forum,Willow is beautiful and so was Wolf..magical eyes :love:
Good luck with starting off on your own,but seeing you have Willow by your side,you'll do wonderful,I'm sure!

It seems like it's going to be my destiny to get dogs with funky eyes.

We're doing fine on our own. I actually don't mind it at all. :)

Welcome, sometimes I wish I was alone, with two teenagers, a hubby and Tucker the 15 month Border collie, I crave alone time. But then when I get it, I get lonely, we are never satisfyed. I too lost a wonderful dog last year, and still really miss him.

Welcome Durham-ite. I lost a cat last year unexpectedly so I feel your pain. My family had a Sibe when I was a teenager. They have the best eyes.

Here she is at nine-days-old, first time I saw her:

The litter at one day old... Willow is the one with the arrow.

Willow reminds me of Tucker when he was a puppy, i picked him out at a week old too, here is a pic when he was one month old. I love little pups.

Here she is at 23 days old. They really do look a lot alike, don't they?

Yeah they do mine just has a tail. LOL

Yeah, I'm so tired of hearing "what happened to her tail?". It's so annoying.... She's an Aussie!!! She doesn't have one! :p Actually her's is quite long.... a full three inches long. :eek:

She is a beauty with or with out one anyways.

Wow, yes I do like those pics!! So tiny! :)

Yeah, I'm so tired of hearing "what happened to her tail?". It's so annoying.... She's an Aussie!!! She doesn't have one! :p Actually her's is quite long.... a full three inches long. :eek:

I call that kind of appendage a chicken nugget, not a tail...I guess there's a long story behind that one, though! :p

That doggie has good vertical and I'm sure she will excel in sporting events.

LOL, yeah, I call it her 'nubby'.

Not only does she have good vertical, but she's very fast and agile (turns on a dime, leaving the other doggies wondering where she went!)

Here's a good shot of the nubby.

Willow and my mom's dog, Pepsi (That's her other dog, Rocky, sitting inside the house):

That is one pretty aussie! (no offense Mel) She's got a cute nub. :)

Aw shucks! :p

Wow beautiful pictures!!!

Welcome to the board!
