The Photos...

Roxana, enjoying the Caribbean sunset...

How can I not smile??? Seeing this while listening to “Higher Love” by the Ndlovu Youth Choir... the best way to wipe away the sleep from a red eye... #iluv2xplore #NdlovuYouthChoir

What I thought was going to be a fun gift for my nieces and nephew to teach them about goal setting turned into an INCREDIBLE family dinner conversation - talking about activities we love, that scare us, that we have never done before, that we need to do, etc - from learning to whistle (9 year old nephew), to swimming w/ dolphins in another country (19 year old niece), to resuming bass lessons (bro-in-law), with the guitar my sister gave him as a gift - before kids ... We all learned something new about each other 🥰. I am so looking forward to our follow up conversations and celebrating achieved goals! #familybonding #onethingtoday https://spark.adobe.com/page/KGOxYyYnk2A0Q/

Mama, you don’t need your hand, do you??? Hi, my name is HUDSON BLUE, and I am an affection junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #luvbug #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #ghosteyes #lovebug #aussiestare #velcropup #attentionjunkie #affectionjunkie

Happy Halloween! Mama, I LOVE my dragon costume! I have already beheaded + unstuffed several toys this AM... What I DO NOT LOVE is you interrupting my play session to take this dumb photo 😏 #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug #aussiestare #velcropup #attentionjunkie #affectionjunkie

Working Hard OR Hardly Working? I just returned home from my new job volunteering at Lakeside Senior Center, and boy am I tired! I met so many people over the course of 1 hour... Licking many of the seniors’ hands (many of who are wheelchair bound and with varying stages of dementia), snuggling up with them in their wheelchairs and/or beds (with permission, of course), and just making many of them smile with my charisma and charm - AND stealing a few kisses on their chins and cheeks 😏, while trying to be on my best behavior - WORE ME OUT! Plus, it’s my nap time... Yep, I AM only 7.5 months old and still take 2 long naps per day... AND, carry a stuffed animal around quite often... AND, cry like a baby when my mom leaves me with others... PLEASE don’t tell anyone 🤫🤫🤫. BUT, I have a job. A job I think I am really going to like. (I am a working breed after all). I get paid in lots of oohs, aahs, smiles, pets, snuggles, and an occasional dog treat, for doing what I love - giving/receiving affection. I overheard the Director tell my mom that I made one of the long-term residents smile for the first time in years! (Just by licking his hands and nuzzling his neck). THAT you can tell others 😘. Hi, my name is HUDSON BLUE, and I am an affection junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug #aussiestare #velcropup #attentionjunkie #affectionjunkie

Hudson Blue, the “Aussie Stare” Mom, I am going to continue to stare you down until you PLAY 👏🏼 WITH 👏🏼 ME 👏🏼! I made it sooooo easy... I dropped ALL of my FAV toys in your lap. Just pick one... Pretty, please??? Hi, my name is HUDSON BLUE, and I am an attention junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug #aussiestare #velcropup #attentionjunkie #affectionjunkie

Hudson Blue, Velcro Pup Mom, I know we just woke from an 8 hour snuggle session 1/2 hour ago... I want to make sure you don’t forget that I am here... I am DEFINITELY more entertaining than your work 😇. Hi, my name is HUDSON BLUE, and I am an affection junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug

My struggle is REAL 😢... Can’t mom see that I am MUCH better looking and MUCH more entertaining than her laptop??? I cannot believe I have to SHARE her lap! I try to tell her, and sometimes she just looks at me and laughs at my barks, while other times she flat out ignores me - especially if she is talking to her boss or colleagues. Today, I even tried to sit right on top of her laptop while she was typing. That didn’t work out very well... Mom put me (and all of the toys that I brought with me onto the sofa) on the floor... Yep... Every. Single. One. I. Own... AND, I have A LOT of toys. I am sooooooo OVER her work thing! Hi, my name is HUDSON BLUE, and I am an affection junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug

Hudson Blue, Ladies Man... My mom took me to Lake Merritt today. Talk about exciting! I was able to run, Run, RUN, and RUN SOME MORE! It felt so good to really stretch my legs. I even raced my mom a few times. She did an ok job of keeping up 😏... She wasn’t able to navigate the people relaxing in the grass as well as me. I tried my best to drag her right through the middle of their blankets... I know they didn’t mean to forget MY invite to their picnic... I LOVED showing my mom that I could sit and stay on command - that is until I discovered girls - the two-legged variety. Did you know if you sit pretty for a hot second and then mesmerize them with your eyes, they will hug and kiss all over you??? I loved them so much that I passed up the opportunity to play with other pups - including my cousin, Baby, born 1 month before me at @colorcountryaussies. Truth be told, of all the ladies I met yesterday, @_helenade_ and @earthy.eva were my FAVS 😘. #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug

Guess what??? I have a name... I overheard my mom tell the vet that my name is HUDSON BLUE CASHEL WALLACE. Cashel after someone she called The Dude (aka dad), who apparently was a pretty cool cat. I was confused at first because I am a dog not a cat. But after overhearing my mom talk about all of The Dude’s admirable qualities, it all makes sense. GULP... I have some pretty big shoes to fill... I had my 1st play date, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Although I am much younger than Tipsy, I showed him (and my mom) that I can wrestle with the best of them 😏. I also had my 1st mini adventure exploring the neighborhood in the rain. Lots of smells, sights, and sounds to take in. SO EXCITING! Leaves blowing in the wind are pretty darn cool! Can I just tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE OUTDOORS... I have listened to 2 full days of healthcare tech conference calls... BORING! Yesterday, I found my voice and put my two cents in a few times, trying to tell mom and her colleagues that I am way more interesting but I just got ignored, so I cried. I see my mom try to hide her smirk and look of adoration when I point my nose toward the sky and howl 😏. Wrapping my mom around my paw is a bit tougher than I thought... Although she does allow me to climb up in her lap to take my naps, which I do quite often. It’s all about the snuggle! If only I didn’t have to share with her laptop... Hi, my name is HUDSON, and I am an affection junkie! #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug

I finally made it to my new home... I am a bit jet-lagged and SOOO incredibly nervous with all these new sights and sounds... I am trying my best to be brave but I am struggling - as evidenced by my photo. It’s the only one I have allowed my new mom to take... That big device is 1/2 my size... SCARY! Plus, I am stressed/about to cry, tired/fighting sleep, and hungry/not wanting to eat... She bought me all these toys, but for now, I would just rather snuggle in her lap, watching her every move with my bright blue eyes, and kissing her chin every few minutes. Maybe tomorrow I will be brave enough to explore my new surroundings a bit... My new mom calls me “Baby Boy” and “Pretty Boy”, which is ok for now. But, sheesh, I CANNOT have her call me that around the 4-legged friends I hope to make over the coming weeks. Will you pls help her out with my name??? #iluv2xplore #hudsonblue #miniaussie #colorcountryaussies #miniatureaustralianshepherd #miniaussiesofinstagram #bluemerle #blueeyes #lovebug
