Shortstop, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shortstop
Age: Deceased, Nine years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   This is Shortstop, my beloved Australian Shepherd who recently passed away at age nine. I got him as a puppy at a farm a few miles from where I lived. He was the only one who came to me on both visits, so more or less he picked me.

    As a puppy he loved to run through the yard with his leash in his mouth and play with his favorite toy, binky. As he got older he preferred to go on nice long walks and just sit beside you rather than play. He was very smart and could do many tricks, sit, shake, roll over, speak, dance, wave and give a high five.

    At Christmas he always got tons of presents, he had his own stocking. And he would open his presents, but only on Christmas Day never early. His birthday was a big event, with cake, ice cream, party hats and of course presents. In the summer he enjoyed relaxing his pool.

    I loved him very much and he is greatly missed by me, his mommy. He is also missed by his human grandparents, who took great care of him when I had to be away.

    He was very special to me and I miss him very much, not a day goes by I don't think of how happy he made my life and how much he loved me and I loved him.
