In the Japanese tradition, today, 5/5, is boys' day or children's day. Since Dash and most of our online mini Aussie blog friends are boys, I thought it would be appropriate to fly the koinobori on behalf of all the pups out there...

I also thought it might be helpful to our friends to know how Dash has grown to be the bitty little mini Aussie male he is today. These are the weights from our vet records:
- 9 weeks: 4 lbs
- 12 weeks: 6 1/2 lbs
- 4 months: 9 lbs
- 5 months: 10 1/2 lbs
- I think the vet records were not updated for a while, they keep showing 10 1/2
- 11 months: 18 lbs
- 13 months (now): 20 lbs
