This is Bowie, a mini Aussie. Had her for a year and a month. Arrived as a gift at six months old. Initially I had mixed emotions because I'd never had a working dog before and didn't know how to deal with her energy.

But, I got through it. She doesn't chew as much as she used to. She follows me around and she gets so happy when I get up in the morning. There are moments when she does frustrate me but I don't hold it against her. Because of her high energy, I'm a lot more active than I have been which is a good thing. And, I don't think I'm getting as annoyed or anxious as I used to so I guess she's been helping me.
