Darby, Sassy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Darby, Sassy
Age: Two, Four years old
Gender: Male, Female Breed: Australian Shepherds
Home: Spring Valley, California, USA
 
   The dog on the right is Darby and he is an Australian Shepherd, and the dog on the left is Sassy and she is an also an Australian Shepherd, Red Merle, birth date unknown, we adopted her on May 27, 2000, so we use that as her birthday.

    Darby and Sassy are the joy of my husband's and my life. Each dog weighs over 75 pounds, so beware if they both get excited in the morning and come running into bed at the same time. At the time I purchased Darby, we had a beautiful Australian Shepherd, named "Aussie," who was fourteen years old. I wanted to have another Aussie so the void would not be so big when our beloved Aussie passed on. Darby got to be with Aussie for six months before Aussie went to heaven. Darby was really attached to Aussie. Within three weeks, we decided to get another Australian Shepard and we got "Sassy" through the Australian Shepherd Rescue Club. These two dogs are now inseparable. Darby loves Sassy. If you ask Darby, "where's Sassy?" he will run all over the yard and house looking for her. Our dogs love to go for rides, play ball and eat ice cubes.
