WHAT IS AN AUSSHOLE?


There are people that get offended by the use of the word Ausshole, there are people who laugh at its use.

AUSSHOLE:  a term or endearment or anger pertaining to Australian Shepherds.  Most generally it is a term used to describe a australian shepherd who has done something naughty.  Tore up a wall, ate the carpet, destroyed something.  But here's the thing,  if you own an Aussie you know there is no way you can stay angry at them, they won't allow it.  

Australian Shepherds are the clowns of the dog world.  While the Border Collie has been named time and time again one of the smartest dogs around, which I will not argue with, because I've known Border Collies and they are one of the smartest dogs, the aussie is also smart.  The thing with an Aussie, is they are smart in a way that out thinks their humans.  They seem to have an inner sense of knowing when to be cute and silly to get their butts out of trouble.  They also seem to have the ability to know, oh man I'm gonna be in so much trouble for eating the carpet.  

I own two Aussholes, yes I said it.  AUSSHOLES.  Both know right from wrong when it comes to destroying the house, but do they care, not really.  Both know how to make it seem like it was my fault they ate the couch cushion.  Both also know how to smile, paw at me, and wiggle their little behinds in all directions, just to get out of trouble, because they know that sooner or later I will laugh at their antics.

So when using the term Ausshole, remember its most generally used in Love, and anger at the same time.  Its not derogatory, and its a personal choice to use it.  If you don't like the term, then don't use it. But in my case, I honestly have to say, yes both of my Aussie have their Ausshole moments.
