Even mini aussies can seem so majestic surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
Misha (pronounced Mee-shuh) learned to love the water from our late lab/bulldog mix Dudley. (He was black and white and looked like a cow.) Misia would bark at Duds while he dove into the water, chasing that oh-so-desirable stick as fast as he could muster.
Then one day, Misia jumped in - and immediately jumped out! It only took a couple more days before she was racing Dudley towards the stick.
She loves the water now, as you can see!
Thank you @juliank for having the #animalphotography contest!
