What's in a name?

So anyone wondering where my name came from?  Probably not if those reading are hockey fans :)  Mom is a huge Blue Jackets fan so when the rescue she adopted me from named me Nash it was like it was meant to be.  Being a blue merle, my "official" name is CJs BlessedBlueBreakaway.  Mom tells me this is what gets put on all my fancy certificates that I get for playing agility with her.  My little brother Tug (short for Tugnutt) is named after a goalie that used to play for the Blue Jackets.  Dad gave Espresso his name.  I think I won in the name department in our pack. :)

The Nash has landed!

Hello all, my name is Nash.  I am a 5, almost 6, year old Australian Shepherd mix.  My mom says she thinks I'm mixed with a hound dog of some kind since I have larger ears and a very deep bark.  Mom and Dad rescued me about 5 years ago and since then I have lived the life of luxury.  I have 2 brothers.  Espresso is my older brother at 9 years old.  Tug is my younger brother at 8 months old.  Tug is a lot of fun, we wrestle, play in the pool and I just generally beat the crap out of him.  Since Tug has a blog all about him - I told Mom that I wanted one for me.

Mom says I'm a well-trained dog - she told me she was very proud of me when I got something called a Canine Good Citizen - but I think that I have her trained.  If I sit in my kennel for a few minutes, Mom will come and fill my food bowl twice a day!!  How awesome is that!  Mom has also taught me to play this great game called agility with her.  It is so much fun - I get to jump and run through and over things!  Best part is, I get these wonderful little things called treats for doing it!  Treats. Are. Amazing.

I have 2 brothers but my bestest friend has to be my "girlfriend" Kira.  She stays at my grandparents house.  I LOVE seeing her and always get so excited when I see grandma and grandpa's house.  Sometimes I see her at BRAG where we both work on our agility training.

Last summer I discovered that I love to play in water.  So Mom bought a kiddie pool for me, so much fun.  I dig, dig, dig.  I'm not sure what I'm digging for but that water goes everywhere!  And Mom seems to have fun taking pictures of me

Shake it off!
See what I have to put up with some times!
