Wordless Wednesday: Whoosh!
Category Archives: lab mix
Hello Camera!
“Hello Mr. Camera! Get a close up of me! Ignore the girls in the background!”
“Don’t ignore me, Camera! Look at my tongue!”
“No, Camera! Look at MY tongue!”
“And watch me squish Petal into the ground!”
The camera witnesses some brutal things sometimes.
Y’know, when dog noses aren’t being shoved in it’s lens.
Collie Butts
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but…
Collies have such big booties.
Collies have such big booties.
Seriously. They do.
A windblown Collie butt!
And they’re proud of ’em!
Or, at least, I’m sure mine are.
They sure act like they are.
Lassie always greets people with a sweet, enthusiastic Collie smile and then shoves his butt against them. For a butt scratch, of course!
(Or he’s just crazy; that’s a possibility).
Or maybe I’M crazy for photographing dog butts.
Petal also enjoys butt scratches.
(Or is also crazy).
But she’d rather use her giant butt for evil.
Like the other day, for example, Petal literally knocked Lassie off his feet with her big butt.
I almost fell on the floor laughing.
Ella, with her itty bitty little mutt butt, is totally jealous of the Collies’ fluffy butts.
But(t :P) she’s also glad she doesn’t have a giant booty that knocks things over.
That tail of hers, however, does some serious damage.
I’m pretty sure Ella was trying to bury me…
As we know, Ella loves to dig.
She’s a digging machine.
Flinging dirt everywhere, including all over some very offended Collies.
Getting her nails, feet and face all dirty.
Then kicking back and relaxing in her newly dug hole.
Or bolting off in some random direction like she unearthed and then inhaled catnip.
It’s crazy and silly to watch.

The other day, however, had me giggling less and watching my back more.
I was a little suspicious when she came and began to dig a hole right underneath me…
Of all the places to dig, why under me?
It was more difficult to dig here, what with me sitting there and an old tarp buried there.
So why in the world would she choose to dig there?
There’s really only one reason for it.
She was trying to bury me.
*innocence* “Who, me? I would never bury you, silly human! I was simply… digging a moat around you. Yes, let’s go with that. A moat to keep you safe. No graves here!”
Likely story, Ella.
Likely story.
The dog of many purposes
Over the weeks, Ella’s sweet little puppy has proven capable of serving many purposes.
From loyal snuggle buddy
to rugged tug toy
to Lassie’s pillow.
Best dollar ever spent.
P.S. be careful out there.
It’s Friday the 13th.

Wordless Wednesday: bring it on!
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.
lazy Saturday
“Hey guys, wanna play?!”
“Lassie, I think it’s about time we taught that pup about Lazy Saturdays.”
“The best way to teach her is by example.”
“Good idea.”
After a nice morning in the yard, we are enjoying a lovely, lazy Saturday afternoon.
I’m still cozy in my pajamas and watching the snow fall out the window.
A perfect Saturday.
Happy Saturday! ;]
