Wordless Wednesday: Me and Petal




Fresh Snow!
It snowed here off and on (mostly on) from Sunday night to Monday evening.
Which has been absolutely wonderful because the rain we had over the weekend washed all our snow away and made everything dreadfully muddy. Not fun.
But now we have a fresh blanket of beautiful, clean snow!

We had lots of fun in it, too.
I got a video of these two romping in the snow yesterday, making the first tracks in the fresh snow.
I will warn you that the video is all over the place. It was snowing (you probably won’t be able to tell from the video, but it was lightly snowing the whole time we were out there) and even though there was this cloudy haze, it was bright and I couldn’t really tell what I was recording, haha.
Thank goodness YouTube can stabilize shaky videos, or else you’d probably feel like you’re spinning in circles on a boat in a storm.
Anyway. YouTube greatly improved it, but it’s still all over the place, I’m sorry about that.
But you do get to see how crazy Petal is in the snow! 
That barking that sounds like it’s coming from a distance is from our neighbor’s Border Collie cross from across the street.
And, of course, just minutes after I turned off the camera and stuck it back in my pocket, Lassie goes sniffing around under a tall bush and Petal whips by and knocks a ton of snow all over him. By the time I got the camera back out and ready to go, Lassie had shaken it all off.
It was so funny though. Lassie looked like he was made out of snow.
How has your weather been? Have you been enjoying snow? Rain? Sunshine?Â
Black and White Sunday: Her Sweet Little Face
“I’m cute and I know it.”
Today we are participating in the Black and White Sunday blog hop hosted by You Did What With Your Weiner, Dachshund Nola and My Life In Blog Years.
Instagrams!
Some Instagrams for your weekend!
1. Lassie has a cute face.
2. Petal likes chest scratchies.
3. Lassie and Petal cuddling.
4, 5, 6
Petal will sleep anywhere. On a bucket. Under a blanket with me on a freezing cold morning. On her back with her head squished against my butt.
7. Lassie was very sleepy after helping us babysit for a few hours.
8. Lassie makes an excellent face warmer. 😉
9. Mr. McHandsome.
10. Petal thinks she should be allowed to gnaw on this pencil.
11. Lassie likes to play keep-away.
12. Pepper has been staying with us for a few days. Petal has had fun with her, but is feeling a little jealous lately. She was very upset the other night when she found Lassie on the couch, laying on one side of me, and Pepper on the other side of me. It’s usually Lassie on one side and Petal on the other. She did not appreciate this scene and she told me so with her Vanishing Ears act and some giggle-worthy moaning and groaning as she looked from Pepper, to me, and back again. I swear, if Petal could talk, she would’ve told me to push Pepper off the couch.
No worries Petal, Pepper goes home today. You’re still the baby girl of the house. 😉
Have a lovely weekend!
Black and White Sunday: Squinty
I was very amused to find these two making the exact same face. Goobers.
As you may have noticed, I gave the blog another make over.
Simply because I love giving the blog make overs.

Silly videos
How about two silly Collie videos for your Saturday?
Yes? Okay!
Yes? Okay!
A few nights ago I was sitting on the floor, playing with the Collies and one of the toys they received for Christmas: the “Cane Deer” from West Paw Design. But I call him The Candy Cane Reindeer with the Wonky Eyes (his eyes make me giggle).
Petal was doing her adorable I’m-tired-but-stubborn-so-I’m-going-to-play-instead-of-sleep play, so I recorded it.
Then I realized something…
Oh Lassie, your patience never ceases to amaze me.
The Candy Cane Reindeer with the Wonky Eyes fits perfectly over a Collie nose!
As you probably have guessed: I’m easily amused and entertained.
Which is good, because an entertained human is a well behaved human, right? 😉
Have a lovely weekend!

Chasin’ Critters
While we were out in the yard the other day Petal found a mystery critter (I never saw it, but I suspect it was a mouse) crawling beneath the leaves and twigs along the fence. She was being far too noisy and crazy to actually catch whatever it was. Petal is not stealthy or quiet when it comes to chasing down little friends. She is, however, very entertaining to watch. I snapped a dozen pictures (literally, so have fun scrolling ;)) before the camera battery died (lucky for you!).
She went at it for another minute or two (I think he, whatever he was, was having a good time teasing the obnoxious dog that didn’t stand a chance catching him) before we went back inside and she still looks for him when we go outside, but she hasn’t seen him since.
As for what Lassie was doing as Petal stomped through leaves, snow, and twigs, thinking she was oh so sneaky— he was watching Petal with a look that said, “This is why Collies don’t hunt.”
Unless you count hunting down an abandoned cheeseburger. My Collies can do that no problem. 😉
