The Couch Potatoes

Kelley's Drops of Jupiter

Jupiter was originally acquired as a potential breeding female, but she didn’t quite meet our high standards. That being said, she quickly found her place as my husband’s best friend and his very first dog. Jupiter may not have made it into our breeding program, but she has made a lasting impression as the queen of the house. Her bold personality, strong presence, and loyalty make her an irreplaceable part of our family. Jupiter truly believes she rules the roost, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Kelley's Little Boy Blue

Blue is a 19” tall, 40 lb Miniature Australian Shepherd with an adventurous spirit and a unique personality. Though he has been adored by many, no one ever pulled the trigger, and here at The Kelley Crew, we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Blue will always have a place here, but if the right person came along and we believed they were the perfect match, we would absolutely let him go live his life to the fullest. Blue is the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. He’s cat-like in his independence, able to hike up mountains one moment and then come home to lounge on the couch the next. Oh, and don’t forget his toy collection—he’s a true toy collector extraordinaire!

Kelley's James P. Sullivan

Sully may be our resident cat, but don't let that fool you—he identifies as a Mini Aussie just like the rest of the crew! Sully is our puppy teacher, always showing the new pups the ropes, and he’s the best friend to Jupiter. He’s earned his place in the pack with his impressive skills—he knows how to sit on command, comes when called, and has even joined us on adventures to the river. A very valuable member of the team, Sully brings joy and wisdom to everyone he meets.

The Retired

Kelley's Babe Ruth

Ellie is the one who started it all. Despite coming from a sketchy background, she quickly endeared herself to us with her Aussie quips and charming personality. Now retired, Ellie enjoys the spoiled life she’s earned, relaxing and living the good life. Though she’s retired, she still flirts with the boys and keeps the pups in line with her experienced wisdom. As the grandma, and in some cases, great-grandma of the crew, Ellie remains a beloved member of our family, always keeping things fun and lively.
