My Collie can skip!
Or perhaps she’s marching.
Who really knows?
One thing is for sure though.
She’s a dork.
And I love it.
Skipping

Would you believe me
if I said I managed to get these shots (and many more that you’ll be seeing throughout the week) without getting trampled by the girls?
Well. Not more than once anyway.
There were a couple of other close calls
but I made it out alive.
Playing Tug
Ella and Petal absolutely love to play tug together.
They will tug on anything.
Seriously.
It doesn’t have to be a dog toy.
You name it, they’ll play tug with it.

Socks? Of course!
Any other article of clothing? Let’s do it!
Paper? Totally!
Teeny tiny pieces of cardboard? Why not!
Blankets? Oh yeah!
Sticks?
Who wouldn’t?!
Ella’s Puppy
Thursday, while running errands with my Mom and little sister, we ended up at a thrift store, looking through toys. I found two really cute stuffed animals, a dog and a piggy, one for a dollar and the other one for fifty cents. Now when I found the cute, burgundy dog, I immediately thought of Ella because we use to have this sweet little blue dog stuffy and Ella carried it everywhere with her when she was a puppy.
So of course I had to buy the cute little thing.
And what was the first thing Ella did when I walked in the door?
She stuck her head in the bags (too see what I got, as always) and pulled out the burgundy dog.
And she’s been clinging to him ever since.
See that blur of her tail? Wagging a mile a minute.
I knew it would be a big hit, I just didn’t realize HOW big of a hit he would be.
“C’mon, Ella! Give me a turn!”
“No! He’s mine!”
Nap time.
If only they had two!
Happy New Year, everyone!
Being cute
7 Years
Yesterday, December 8th 2011, marked seven years with my Lassie.
Seven years with this boy!
It’s been amazing and sometimes difficult.
But mostly amazing. He’s the best dog.
This dog makes me smile and laugh.
He makes me feel loved and wanted and needed.
Though I need him a lot more than he needs me.
He’s my best friend.
Snow Race
Ready… Set… Go!
Off she goes! Straight for the finish line!
And she’s picking up speed.. you can tell by the way her face stretches back from all the wind she’s getting!
And she stubs her toe. Ouch!
Ow, ow, ow.
Better luck next time!
Shameless Facebook plug: Two Collies and a Mutt on Facebook!
We would love some more Facebook buddies!

Snugglefest
One of Petal’s very best friends is my sister’s cat, Harriet. They play together, wrestle together, lay together and snuggle together. Harriet cleans Petal’s face and chomps on her legs and Petal likes to stick Harriet’s head in her mouth. They have the best dog-cat relationship I’ve ever seen. They’re adorable together.
Some thoughtless person dumped a pregnant cat on our property (or nearby, at least, if not directly on it) and my family took to feeding her and her kittens. Harriet was one of those kittens and we very quickly grew attached to her, so we kept her.
She warmed up to the dogs very quickly and we tease her about being part dog. ;]
She’s a great little kitty. We just love her.
