Delectable Collie Fluff

I hold in my hand a ball of Collie fluff…

but good luck convincing a certain puppy of that.
Penny is convinced it’s not just “Collie fluff”, she’s convinced it’s a delicious and wonderful toy/treat!

“It’s filled with happiness and joy.
Don’t take it from me.”

I’m always fishing Collie hair out of her mouth.
She stalks me while I brush Lassie and Petal.
Her eyes and head follow the brush’s every move and the second I turn it around to pull out the fluff, she bounces, grabs a mouthful straight from the prickly pin brush, and runs off with it.
She pulls it apart, chews on it, pulls it apart again, and chews some more until it’s a big, slobbery, knot of nastiness hanging out of the side of her mouth, which I have to pick off.
Gross.

It’s funny, annoying and gross all at once.

Collie Butts

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but…
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.
