Some moments are too cute not to share. I can’t teach “Strike a Pose,” but Sassy hears “Selfie!” and instantly just knows. 🤳🐾

She might keep me on my toes, but I swear she lives to make me laugh.😂❤️

Good girl, Wild Red Sassafras. My heart is full. 💕

Sassy’s officially in winter mode!
Her first snowfall was just a light dusting—pretty meh in her opinion. But now that we’re getting a few real inches, she’s ready for round two! Not a summer fan, but she is absolutely loving winter. I’ll grab some video so we can all enjoy! #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs
Sassy sitting on the ottoman after I asked her to retrieve her bone, waiting to hand it over. I made a few squeaky noises to get a cute little head tilt. Also, she still has one ear that pops up pretty often. Hoping it settles in a down position soon!!

Red bi Australian shepherd hanging out on the porch of a warm yellow orange glowing lit colonial house. Where the light white door sports an orange and yellow white lighted wreath. Pumpkins line the 4 steps up to the stoop, where large floral arrangements sit on each side of the door. Two tall pillars frame the scene and a fun Happy Thanksgiving is written a cross the steps. Sassy sits with one ear up and one down, waiting to greet you as you arrive, with millions of puppy kisses.

Concept bike ✅

I should have had this at the beginning of the year, but life wanted it to be more challenging for me. 😁 No worries, I made it! On to my next goal! #Zwift 🚴🏻‍♀️
Finally got it!! ATP racer in her new swift concept bike, painted neon pink of course. Image of the 100% challenge completion screen stating 164042 feet of climbing completed!!

Working on my mindset. I am wondering how I am going to mess this up. 😂 Acrylics are so forgiving. Even if I mess it up, I will learn a new technique and make something unexpected beautiful. Instead, I will believe everything will turn out as it was meant to be. 🙏🏻 #art #AcrylicPainting #Growth
A colorful acrylic painting in progress. The artist is fighting a battle, trying to remember as life imitates art, even if there is a mistake, they will grow and come our the other end all the better for it. The painting yet incomplete has a row of purple snow covers pine trees on the right, lining a path that is just being created. The sky filled with pinks, oranges and what will be a sun burst with hints of a cloudy menacing sky.

She still isn’t sure how the universe could be shrinking so quickly, but she’s handling it surprisingly well. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #AustralianShephered #TheIncrediableShrinkingPuppy
Tiny red by Australian Shepherd puppy, crawled into a small cubby in my desk at my feet. Gaining up at me as she ponders life. Red bi Australian Shepherd now almost fully grown, resting peacefully oblivious to the fact she had to squish herself into her familiar resting place.

Sunlit ripples sweep the field,
a quiet, shimmering sea.

The meandering breeze stirs distant memories
the grass whispers back to me.

As I pass, the grass-tops sway
and wave hello so free…
And when I turn to leave the trail,
they wave goodbye to me.

Sassy ❤️’s “Trade Game” on demand. I take=you give. Who is training who? Now learning “Bring Me”+ bonus “Wow Game”. Smart & always adorable, even if she thought about running off with my glasses. Obviously burning outfit tomorrow, bad 🍀 😢 #DogsOfBlueSky #AustrlianShephered #Dogs #DogTraining

I’m a PRINCESS!! 👑 Cousin’s School’s Halloween Pet Parade. Don’t have kids, was not prepared for the chaos!!. Sassy says no problem! She was pretty excited & still learning not to jump. After this a complex therapy dog rating won’t be that difficult for her! 😆 💖 #DogsOfBluesky #AustralianShepherd

Sassy ❤️ frisbee! She is a youngster, we only throw a few low straight tosses a week. I threw a few today & she caught one!! My husband was jealous, so we took a pregame walk & he threw her a few. The wind grabbed it, but here is her second catch!!! 💖 #FrisbeeDog #FrisbeeDogInTheMaking #DogsOfBluesky

We hit our goal: $350!! 🎉 For many, $45,000 for a service dog is impossible. Thankfully, the cost of a service dog is covered by people like you and me. Knowing how profoundly service dogs transform lives drives my commitment to help make the world a better place. See donation link in Comments! 💖

Sassy nailed High-five by the next day. We got some distance on her crawl and I am able to stand up. Going to see if I can shape her crawl this week and put it to the cue word.

Took Sassy out for her first pup cup and to launch her professional dog modeling/acting career. After about 10 outtakes, we got our masterpiece.

A guy and an 15 week old Australian Shepherd Puppy trying to put their faces into a cow cutout photo board. The guy is looking down and the puppy is looking co site with her feet and face within the cutout. There are 4 cow face cutouts with the cows standing in the grass and a blue sky with some twisty clouds. There is a low white picket fence and some flowers in front of the cutout.

Week 1: Crawl ~ Full disclosure: we practiced this for 10 - 15 seconds on Monday, before Sassy decided to do the trick challenge. I didn’t expect her to remember it… but Sassy is apparently brilliant & the goodest girl ever. 🐶💫 Consider Donating 🙏🏼 #TeamSassy #CanDoCanines #DogsOfBlueSky #ServiceDogs

Been admiring this since the beginning of June, finally I passed it while I wasn’t driving!

A splash of color in an unexpected place.

A reminder that even the hardest walls can bloom with love, identity, and hope.

It shouts pride, love and joy! I see you!!

Love always wins!! #Pride
🏳️‍🌈 ❤️💜🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙
A bleak dull side of a highway wall towering above all. Splashed with over 20 colors poured over the top. Shouting pride, love and joy!
