Thank you all for understanding and letting me share my grief with you.
My wife was really depressed over the loss of her "Kush", so I did some digging around on the Internet and found a litter of Mini-Ausssies over in western Kansas. The breeders happen to have some family traveling back from the holidays past our house and they delivered the newest Member of our Family this afternoon.

So without further ado, here is Sir Thomas:

He was a little tired from his trip but after some rest, a little food and water and a trip to the vet to make sure he was healthy, he perked up:

He looks like a miniature version of my "Bridgette" ( http://bridgetteslife.wordpress.com/ )only he'll never get to be as big as she is since she is a full size Blue Merle Aussie and He is a Mini-Blue Merle Aussie(kind of a mini-me thing going on). Ha-Ha.

Best of all though he made my Wife extremely happy and kind of forced her out of her depression.

Again thank you all for understanding our loss.
