Well here’s just a fun picture of me and Jet playing in the back yard.

Me and Jet

I’m glad that Jet is back from going with the Mum and Chase to the place called Grand Junction, Colorado. Chase got to do lots of agility, and Jet got to go just for fun. I wanted to go just for fun too but the Mum said she didn’t have enough room. But I get to do agility in two weeks and that’ll be fun too! Maybe if I got a sales jobs I could go more and buy a new car just for myself!

So the Mum made a really big mess in the yard last weekend. Isn’t it huge! But the fun thing was she let me out to run around the front yard with my neighbor dog Bella. She’s fun! She’s a big silver Weimaraner and I like to play with her. Though the Mum was nervous because sometimes I get distracted and won’t come back. But I was good and listened when I should!

The Mum and her sister then got things all cleaned up and look, there were so many empty bins! The Mum didn’t know she had that much junk! But it’s all gone now, and even though they didn’t sell most of it like they wanted.. they called it a Yard Sale, still they sold some and got rid of the rest to the Deseret Industries store. So now that our house has less garbage in it, we shouldn’t need any NC health insurance because we will be way much more healthy!

Ugh so the Mum is going on a trip again and she’s not taking me! I would like to go too but the Mum says only Jet and Chase get to go this time. They are going to a placed called Grand Junction Colorado and Chase gets to do agility. I didn’t qualify for this agility so I don’t get to go. And Jet… well the Mum still says he’s going to do lots of agility in the future so he gets to go everywhere. I am going to do agility too! So I think the Mum is mean. Mum says there’s not enough room in the van for me too, and aunt Marie and my cousins Dare and Zoe. Hrmph.

So the Mum is going to drive and I hope she is safe and maybe she’ll carry a radar detector with her so she won’t get pulled over for going too fast. Though she doesn’t go very fast really when she drives, she is a safe driver. She says she’s been in too many accidents and we are too important to risk our safety and so she just goes the speed limit anyway.

The Mum will be gone for the whole weekend and I won’t have Jet to play with so I’ll probably have to howl and bug the Dad. That’s fun too!

So the Mum says, since there will be snow soon, and the pretty green grass will be turning brown, that she wanted to get some good pictures of me and Jet in the yard. Oh and the other dogs too but we are the most fun don’t you think?

We run around and play so much that we don’t need any lipozene to lose weight, we just burn it all off by running!

Jet has a cute toy here too that the Mum likes, she says it adds to the pretty pictures. The colors. Which are just fine but toys are kinda weird. I try to play with them sometimes but I don’t really know what to do with them. The Mum says collies don’t like toys quite as much as other breeds unless they are made to be fun when we were little. I never had toys when I was little, or anything else fun. I came from a really bad place that I don’t like to talk about or remember. So I don’t… I just talk about and remember the good fun things where I live now, and where I’m loved!

The Mum took us outside yesterday and took some fun pictures of us. Isn’t this one of me pretty and kinda creative? I like how the light and the dark make me look really pretty.

And I’m kinda looking away from the Mum because I’m annoyed but it looks like I’m posing. LOL I am such a good picture taker… I think I look really nice in pictures!

But that’s just my opinion of myself and not everyone has to share it. Fortunately no one in our house has any malignant Mesothelioma so we are all healthy and happy and having lots of fun. And that’s the best way to be!

This is some of my family! Chase and Muffit, the two border collies, were downstairs with the Dad when the Mum was taking our pictures. Later Chase said that they were getting pizza, which is just rude, because I really like pizza too!

This picture has me (I’m the smooth sable collie if you didn’t know!), my brother Levi and my sister Lucy, who are smooth blue collies. And my brother Jet who is the Danish/Swedish Farmdog. Dang he has a long name! Collie is much shorter!

We were running in the yard and the Mum made us all lay down and do a stay so she could take the picture. We did good but then we didn’t get treats. The Mum says we don’t always get treats… bleh. I think we should! If we get the wrong treats though we might need the http://www.blackheadremoval.org website! But we like treats anyway they are yummy!

I like to post pictures because they are the most fun of all don’t you think? This one is of me and Jet in the sand up in Idaho Falls when we went a couple of months ago… oh wait, it was only last month that we went. So not very too long ago at all.

The sand is kinda dirty and I don’t like being dirty much but it was okay to be with my brother Jet and have some fun walking around. This was when I got my RN, my very first title ever that I got from the AKC. I’m a Rally Novice Collie Girl now!

The Mum says I’m pretty but the Dad says I need to lose a bit of weight so I might have to find the most effective diet pill to use. But then the Mum says I just need to do more agility and I’ll be really slim and fit!

Okay so last time I posted that I was reading my Title from the AKC for my Rally Novice Title that I got. So the Mum said that I should post another picture of me reading a magazine that I really like to do a lot too. This Magazine the Mum gave me for Christmas back in December of 2008 and it was really fun to read. The Mum says I should look at the pictures more but that is kinda boring.

I like getting presents at Christmas because it’s fun and they are usually something I can eat or chew up. And the Mum says I should have a place for christmas keepsakes that I don’t chew up but can keep for a really long time. but I tell her that’s the Hooman’s job because us dogs like to have fun in the present, with the presents, and chew them up!

Us dogs do get fun gifts for Christmases, and we get a Birthday Pizza from Ma and Paws for our Birthdays, and if the Mum doesn’t know our Birthdays, we get one for our Gotcha Days. Mine was on September First so I’ll have to make sure the Mum doesn’t forget to get me that Birthday Pizza she promised me! Though sometimes the Dad makes pizzas too and they are really good but we don’t get pieces all for ourselves like we should!

Okay so here is the paper that came the other day that the Mum is really super excited about. It is my new Title that I got when I was up in Idaho Falls. It’s my very first Title and the Mum is so proud!

My Title Certificate

I think it’s just a weird piece of paper and so I was trying to read it. But the Mum said if I read it then no one else will be able to read it after because I kinda read it so that it gets made into lots of little papers too.

The Mum says if I swallow it after I read it then it might get stuck in my tummy and that’s not good. So she said I don’t want to eat paper, nor do I want to eat ephedrine diet pills because neither of them are good for dogs.

Smooth Collie Rally

So anyway this is me reading my way fun new title!  I’m proud of myself too, that I got a title.  I’m a Rally Novice Collie now!

Yay for snow! I like the snow, and I like to put on my snow boots but the Mum says I don’t have any… how come I don’t have any? I really think I should have some! Then I could chew them up too… if I had any, and that’d be fun.

This is an old picture that the Mum took of me back in December of 2007. That was just after I came to live with the Mum and the Dad and the rest of the pack. That was before Muffit or Jet came to live with us to. You can see Angel in this picture, she’s the smooth blue collie who died this spring and we still all miss her very, very much. And there is also Tony, who came with me on the big jet plane from Houston to find a home here in Utah.  He found one too! I got to stay with the Mum. She says I’m a Foster Failure but I don’t think I’m a Failure of any kind!

So anyway, I hope it snows pretty soon. I like snow and I like running around in the cold. The Mum says she doesn’t want the snow to come or the grass to turn brown.  Can’t we have green grass and white snow at the same time? I would like that a lot.
