Interesting information:  Summer 2006 Pirate was adopted from the South Texas Aussie Rescue (S.T.A.R.). Now in good health and spirit, Pirate is learning to give back. He's already attended and supported two events for the Houston Humane Society. He’s also proved to be a trainer's favorite at obedience training and has received his intermediate graduation certificate. Pirate enjoys showing of his many talents including handshakes, high-fives, roll-overs, down-stays and the old "leave the treat on the paw" trick.  Being what he is, he responds to cues such as "ahoy matey, thank ye bucko" and knows his port side from his starboard. Each evening after work we either head down to the fenced in circle to play ball or the church field across the street for Frisbee practice. He loves Frisbee and keeps waiting for us to improve our skills.
