April showers bring May flowers

Sunday night we had some loud, crazy, kinda scary, wind.
Then Monday it rained.
Today it snowed.
Yup, more snow!

Not much, just a light dusting, but that didn’t matter, Petal was still excited. 
She kept leading me to the leashes, barking at me and then nudging the leashes with her nose.
Who could say no to that?
Not me, that’s for sure.

Today looks like this.

So I bundled up and took them outside.
Despite all the layers I wore, I still nearly froze (the wind was ice cold).
But it was worth it to watch them race around the yard.

Petal and Penny played “circle around the weird box thing that’s been here way longer than any of us have!”
Petal won, as always. Penny cried, as always.
She’s still not as fast as Petal.

Ignore the weeds. I gotta get those pulled.

They also played fetch…

I swear Petal knows how to skip. ;P

Okay, so Penny played fetch, Petal just ran along beside her.
Petal says it’s only fair to let Penny win at something. 😉

Look at those ears!

And what did Lassie do, you ask?
He poked around the yard a little, peeing here and there, but mostly he just followed me around, enjoying the wind,

and the camera. 😉

Now I’m ready for a nap.

Fun and Games Equals a Sleepy Collie

What’s the best part about playing fetch with a brand new ball?
Is it how cute it is?

Photobucket
“Look at this new ball, Petal, it smiles at you!”

Or how yummy it smells? (Or tastes.)

Photobucket
“Mmm, nom nom nom, it tastes good, too! Like vanilla!”

Or is it how much your dog enjoys it?

Photobucket
“Hey! Come back here, ball! I wasn’t done tasting you!”

Or maybe it’s the sleepy dog you earn after a fun game of fetch.

Or maybe it’s all of the above. ;]

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Lassie’s Idea of Playing Fetch

Lassie’s version of fetch is fairly simple. Not that the traditional version of fetch isn’t simple, it’s just not Lassie’s style.
His idea of fetch is, sure, I’ll go get it! I’ll even bring it back, but good luck getting it from me.

Photobucket
“Here Momma, throw it again!”

Here he is bringing it back and looking all sweet and like he’s just begging for you to throw it for him, aww.

  Photobucket
“Really Momma, take it!”


I reached down to take it and he whips around and runs off with it, probably laughing at how silly and gullible his human is.

He’s just like Lucy.
