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!

The Mum’s been taking me to a scary place the last little while, it’s called Ma and Paw’s Dog Bakery. The good thing is whenever we get home we get super yummy treats that we all love. That are home made and great!

Well I’ve been going there just with the Mum and I get scared. I tuck my tail and I try to do scary dog darting out the door. The Mum says she hasn’t seen me get any better… and she hasn’t! I’ve gotten even more scared. Just a little, but not too much.

So today the Mum brought Levi with us. Levi is such a great older brother. He wasn’t scared at all and I followed him around to all the fun stuff and guess what? There is really yummy stuff there! I ate treats for the first time and they were really good. I was able to relax with Levi there and really check stuff out. The Mum is great and all but if she were a dog she’d be better.

Levi even jumped up on the counter and the lady back there gave him a treat ball. He swallowed it whole! Then I got one and I ate it slowly and enjoyed it. There was even a strange man there shopping and guess what? He had Livers! Wow! So I ate some Livers from him and they were good.

Then we got home and the Mum gave us what she bought, some heart shaped valentine dog cookies. Oh boy they were great and all 7 of us got one! I want more!
