Where are all the other dogs that do wordless wednesday? I can’t find yoooouuu…!

I like the front seat of the car… it’s MY spot! When the Mum doesn’t have us buckled in that is, which is most of the time. But my brother Muffit likes the front seat too. But he is learning I am boss!

Wordless Wednesday

I like being a smooth collie. And sometimes I like to lie in the sun and yawn. The Mum was doing some weird stuff on Sunday and she picked up all our dog beds and put them outside in the sun. And so I went and laid outside in the sun on the beds! And I had a big yawn and the Mum caught this picture right in the middle of my big yawn!

Then my brother Levi, in front of me, and my sister Lucy, in back of me, decided they would come and lay in the sun too. Lucy got another of the dog beds, but Levi laid on the stones of the patio. And the Mum, inside, was making loud noises she called vacuuming, and soft noises she called dusting, and scratchy noises she called mopping.

So us collies stayed outside on the beds and let her do all the work! But we didn’t even get any bones, because the Mum says Lucy isn’t feeling well and she has to eat her food like every half hour through the day. Man… I want some of that food too, but the Mum doesn’t let any of us have any except Lucy. But Lucy seems to be feeling better ’cause she still won’t let me be boss girl. But I do so want to be boss girl sometimes! I like being boss! But the Mum the Dad and Lucy are all bosses so far. Oh well. I’ll get them to let me be boss someday!

I just made a guestbook and I’d love if you signed and put up your picture! Yay for pictures! The Mum put it over there on the sidebar so you can see it easy!

This weekend the Mum took me, Muffit and Chase to an agility trial. Chase was the only one who got to do agility, but me and Muffit got to eat treats and walk around. And I got to run and play with Chase. It was fun. And when we were running around yesterday I saw this lady and thought maybe she’d have some treats, so went to check her out. The Mum got all excited because I went to someone on my own. Well duh, maybe she had treats! And I know humans have been kinda scary in the past but they usually have treats now and I like treats!

The Mum had me step into this box thing in front of her and get treats. And she’d say Front, which I guess is what that means. It was pretty easy though at first I didn’t like the box much. Then she threw this toy thing around and I wanted to go after it a little… when I found out it had treats in it! Way cool! But when the Mum let Chase out too today and we both ran after it… Chase doesn’t play fair ’cause he gets it every time, so I went off to sniff instead ’cause it was way hot and there were lots of smells to check out.

But the grass was nice even though I didn’t get to say hi to as many dogs as I would have liked. I said hi to some people and they had treats too and so that was good. The lady by the car had treats I’d never tried before so I pushed them onto the ground with my nose so I could smell them. I wasn’t sure what they were so I didn’t eat them much. I always have to test out treats before I’ll eat them, you just never know if the Mum or Dad is sneaking in a dumb apple thing or carrot, and those are not food!

I am tired now and am going to take a big long nap as it was a hot tiring weekend!

The Mum took me and Chase on another trip for Chase to do flyball. It was fun… and really hot. The Mum said it got up to 103 degrees outside. We were inside so we were okay, but the Mum got nervous a bit and was pouring water on both me and Chase and YUCK that part sucked! But then it did feel kinda good because I perked up my tail after I got wet and the breeze in my wet coat wasn’t so bad.

I also got a couple of massages from a really nice lady. And whenever the Mum and I walked by her place I ran over and stood on her mat. Because mats are cool and her’s was comfy and she was a really nice lady. I liked her massages though I didn’t want to really let her know too much because I’m juts that way.

This picture is of me sleeping in the hotel room. The hotel room was nice and cool and comfy. We went to St. George Utah and Chase got another flyball title, called his Top Flight Executive. The Mum says I can do flyball one day when I learn not to run around and play with the other dogs and don’t have the zoomies so much… but what fun is that?

The Mum took me and Chase to Colorado just a couple of weeks ago… it was fun, but scary… but fun too! I got to meet Kiwi and Cor and play with them… ’round and ’round we chased each other they are super nice. They are both Australian Shepherds and very friendly and fun! The Mum didn’t get any pictures of them, though. She shoulda!

We got to walk around a nature park and see lots of ground hogs as they were warning each other about us scary dogs.. and Chase got to swim in the water. I didn’t want to swim, so I played with Kiwi, but then I got kinda nervous and really wanted to find my crate. And so I left.. and the Mum came with me but I didn’t really want to go to her… I like her, but sometimes I get in a mode where I just want to hide and I don’t want to be around any humans at all. So I went looking for my crate, and the Mum said I went right through the agility ring! But Ringo was running, a springer friend of mine, so that was okay. And then I followed the Mum to my crate and I felt lots better.

The Mum says I still get stressed and I kinda shut down… and that’s when I want to make Lucy and Angel know I’m boss, too. I guess I take it out on them, but the Mum says she’s gonna teach me how to deal with my stress in other ways. And hopefully it’ll go away completely someday!

Well yeah, I do! So I made the Mum change the colors on my blog so that they are pink, too. I look pretty in pink, and I like to look at pink, so pink we are!

I also made the Mum put Muffit on the dogster badge to the left. ‘Cause she hadn’t yet and I like Muffit!

I’m kinda stressed now so this is a short post… but I’ll write more later!

Yeah.. so the Mum went into a store without me and bought this bed and it’s just too small. But it’s comfy and I wish I fit in it better. I like the raised sides and sometimes let my head flop over because it’s very comfortable.

The Mum took me and Chase to a place called Colorado last weekend. It took a really long time to get there, and a really long time to get home, so I was kinda stressed. Plus, I got to play with Kiwi and Cor, my Aussie friends from there! They were so much fun! I wish the Mum would have taken a picture of me playing with them… we ran around and around and around and around and around… until I get tired and stressed and wandered through an agility course looking for my crate.

I wouldn’t go to the Mum.. I got kinda in my old fearful mode that someone would catch me and hurt me.. so I trotted around, but I followed her to the crate area then slipped inside, I was happy to be back in my crate, in this tiny bed!
