Silly videos

How about two silly Collie videos for your Saturday?
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!

Snow makes an excellent snack

One of the best parts about playing in the snow is…

there’s always a nice, cold, hydrating snack at your feet.

Mmm. 

I think Lassie was snacking on something more than just snow. Just look at the way he closed his eyes all dreamily. Plus he worked rather hard to get to whatever it was he was eating. I’m pretty sure it was a dog biscuit that I had dropped in the snow a few days before. Nothing like a frozen cookie!

These two love everything about snow, including the taste. Lassie and Petal run around, having fun, being crazy, then they’ll stop for a lovely snow snack.
In our previous neighborhood we had a neighbor with a Collie (funny story actually, that poor lady was told that what she had was a Shetland Sheepdog puppy (I have no idea where she got her puppy or who told her this), I tried to tell her that I was pretty sure he was a Collie, but I was only 11 or 12, so she just smiled and said, “No, he’s a Shetland Sheepdog. They look like mini Collies.” Well guess what? Cole The Shetland Sheepdog grew to be Cole The Collie, lucky for him his owners loved and adored him all the same) who loved snow so much that his owner would open the back door and scoop some snow up in a stainless steel bowl so he could eat it while lying on the kitchen floor.

For those of you who get snow, do your dogs enjoy eating it?
For those of you who don’t get snow, what’s the strangest thing your dog enjoys eating?

We’re going shopping!

Two lucky Collies get to go to Home Depot with me today to price and pick up some supplies for… something. 
I’ll let you figure that out.
I’ll let you look at my list and you can guess what we’re up to.
What’s in it for you?
Nothing, honestly. I’m terribly sorry.
Unless you guess correctly, then you’ll have the satisfaction of being right.
That’s always nice, isn’t it? 😉

I suppose I could have posted my handwritten list, but I didn’t even think of that until now. Besides, my fonts are nicer than my handwriting. 😉

Any guesses?

Saying Goodbye to 2012

I must admit that I’m excited to see 2012 go. It feels like it’s been one exhausting year and I’m ready for a new year. A new start.
I’m excited to see what 2013 brings us.
I thought it would be fun to look back on 2012 with a post from each month of 2012.
There is a snapshot from each post and if you click on it (or the post title below it) it’ll take you to the full post.
Enjoy!

The very worst part of 2012.
She passed away the same day my grandpa did 4 years prior.
I also want to link to this post: Our gratitude because I am still so grateful and still so in awe of all of  you and your kindness.

Petal kept me smiling after Ella’s sudden passing.
This dog is wonderful.

Just a few of the things I was thankful for in 2012.

So I couldn’t resist linking to 3 posts for December. I had to link to Petal’s birthday and to Lassie’s gotcha day and then, of course, I had to link to a Christmas-y post. 😉

Thank you all for following us through 2012 and being so kind to us. We love you guys.
I hope you all have a fun, and safe, New Year’s Eve and a wonderful new year!
