All of my previous experiences with miniature Aussies have been me saying how cute they are, and them hiding from me, scared stiff. Hobo is just about diametrically opposed to that. When I got near him, he came up and introduced himself. A little socialization does wonders.
Also, I love blue merles.
Look at the fuzz on that left front leg. Pretty amazing.
Lovely blue eyes. And the unruly head-and-ear-fur is totally adorable. People pay lots of money for products to make their hair look like that.
