2/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Fabian Christoph - Axel is an energizer bunny! He's a rescue from the Hobart dogs.
3/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Pete Kempa - Millie. Millicent when she's naughty. Pillowcent when she snugs any pillow she can find. She's the queen of sass. Come to think about it, she's the queen of our house.
4/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Karen Leonard - Marco is smart but funny. He has the best features you will find on an Australian Sheppard including his beautiful blue stunning eyes.

6/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Sarah Delacey - Chloe is smart because I can ask her to get a certain toy and she always brings the right one. I have aspergers and appreciate her friendship.
7/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Diane Briggs - This is Sally! She is smart, beautiful and full of character.

13/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: James Craig - Dexter is a Mini Dachshund. He's a Goofy little boy! He'll melt your heart with his big innocent eyes.
14/14TAS: Dogs of Oz: Gaye Lorrett Ellis - He is simply the best to me & I love him dearly. He has a permanent limp but he is happy and we love him.
