This is tinker. I bought her from a pet shop two years ago.   I don't advise buying from pet shops, but when I saw her, it was love at first site. She is my house companion, and enjoys a game of fetch.

This is Jessie and her son, Roscoe. Roscoe was about three months old when this picture was taken. they both are Australian shepherds. Jessie is a retired show girl, who used to compete in the akc conformation shows. Roscoe was placed in the home of a paramedic friend of mine, and now works as a therapy dog. when the sirens of the ambulance blare, roscoe is the first in the truck and ready for action. His job is to comfort those who have experienced tragedy. Roscoe has grown into a very beautiful dog.
