Who could resist...?

this face! I really want to scrapbook this picture of my dog Krystal. I did a small 6x6 for my gallery wall in the kitchen, but I'm not real happy with it. No real journaling.

But then again, it's pretty hard to express how I feel about this dog.

I was not raised with dogs. My mom didn't want to spend the time taking care of one. And with 4 kids, I can't say that I blame her all that much. So my experience with dogs is limited to 2.

Marcus, our golden retriever, that died almost 2 years ago. And our Aussie, Krystal.

Marcus was extremely loveable and loyal. He was a fireplace type golden, but still loved to chase sticks, squirels, and rabbits. He was super mellow and everyone in our old neighborhood loved him.

But there is something about Krystal. She makes me want to learn more about dogs and training. When this dog does her X-games jumps to catch a ball, it makes me want to learn about agility training. I love her energy and her smarts. I love the way she will come in and cuddle with me in the morning or in the evening when I am watching TV and scrapbooking. I want to give her a job to do to make her a happy Aussie. I love learning about this unusual breed.
