Desert Moon Aussies

I so loved being a breeder. But so much hard work. Up all night delivering them. Cleaning, feeding, loving all over on them, playing, walking them, and building trust in them.

I met this handsome Aussie fella at the grocery store. He is considered a lethal white, which is a breeding between two merles. He is very fortunate to have his vision and hearing intact. He is a healthy 8 year old. Super sweet and very well trained. His owner is a Veteran and has PTSD. This IS a service dog.

A dog’s love is the purest thing you’ll ever know. It’s not complicated by words or motives, just simple devotion that shows up every single day. It’s in the way they greet you like you’re the most important person in the world, no matter how long you’ve been gone.

It’s steady, without hesitation, a love that doesn’t fade when things get tough. A dog’s love isn’t about what you can give, it’s about who you are to them. It’s loyalty, comfort, and understanding, all wrapped into one quiet, constant presence that never asks for anything but to be near you..

“What’s the hardest part about having a dog?” they asked, their tone casual, like it was just another question.
I glanced at the worn leash hanging by the door, my chest tightening. “Letting them go,” I said quietly.
They frowned a little, waiting for me to explain. “They come into your life like they were always meant to be there,” I said, trying to find the words. “They make everything better—simpler, brighter. And you think it’s always going to be that way. But it’s not. One day, they’re gone, and you’re left with all the space they used to fill.”
They nodded, but I wasn’t sure they understood. “It’s not the messes they made or the routines you have to let go of,” I continued. “It’s the absence. You walk into the house, and it feels... wrong. The quiet is heavier. The mornings don’t feel the same without them nudging you awake.”
“So why do it?” they asked, their voice softer this time.
I sighed, glancing down at my hands. “Because the love they give you is worth every bit of the heartache. They teach you how to love without holding back, even when you know it’s going to hurt in the end. And you keep choosing that love because you know it’s one of the best things you’ll ever feel.”
