Avery Babe

World meet Avery. Avery meet the world. 

Avery is a purebred Australian Shepard. She is my boyfriends, Daniel, dog. The two of them are obsessed with one another. She gets very jealous when I kiss him, lay with him or we show any kind of PDA or love towards one another. She wants him to herself, and I completely understand, I'm the same way. 

(Sorry for the blurry photo but you get the idea, they are in love)

Just like Daniel picked out Sophie, I picked out Avery. I chose very wisely. Her brother was crazy when the two of us pulled up, he reminded me of the dog from Marley and Me with his behavior. We got Avery babe, as I lovingly call her on Christmas Eve. We went a few days before to look at her, sleep on it since it was kind of a whim and then we went back for her. But how could we say no to this face? It's been 2 years since this little lady has been in our lives and those have been the best 2 years...

Once we got her in the car it hit us, she didn't have a name and we were the ones who had to name her. We just started saying names like Emery, Holly (we really tried this one because I thought it was so fitting since it was christmas eve) and others until she looked at us. Finally we said Avery and she looked. Her fathers name was Avery, and having just took her from her family to join our new loving family we thought it would be a nice way to honor her first family. 

Avery is the only dog I know that will let you hold her anyway you want, she will let you use her as a pillow and she will lay just like a human in bed. 

She is also the only dog I know that will actually watch TV. I'm serious she has "her" shows that she loves. Anything with a dog is fair game, animal planet, Trailer Park Boys and King of the Hill are just some of her favorites. 

She loves to play. Tennis balls, especially the ones that make the squeaker noise are her favorite. She's not the best with her toys, she likes to destroy them but she is very protective of them. Also, her and Sophie are BFF, the two of them can play for hours. 

Avery is one of the best dogs I know. And I give all the credit to Daniel for teaching her everything she knows. While she is obsessed with him, she has her days when she is obsessed with me. My favorite thing about her, is she's a smiley dog. She seriously smiles. And every time you walk in the door she does this really cute butt shake that makes you just smile and love her more. 

She may be a bigger dog than Sophie but she is such a loving and friendly dog. I don't know anyone that has met her and not liked her. And, she loves to lay and be lovey. I will always pick her up like a little babe.

Oh and one more thing...more like a general warning. If you go to the bathroom, make sure you close the door all the way. Because she will push her nose into the door and open it leaving you embarrassed. Same when you take a shower, close the door all the way...or she may join you....
