Hi Everydoggie!  We had a fun day today. First we went to the Tanner Dog Park and we had lots of fun in the snow!

It was just me and Muffit today, and we got to run and run and play with other dogs and it was really cool fun. The Mum wanted me to post up these pictures so you can see how pretty it was at the park. But I would have posted more me pictures!

The paths are fun and there is lots of snow on the trees.  It snowed all yesterday and we got lots of really fun snow, I like the snow! So instead of New York Yankees tickets we had a great day at the park.

Then we went for a really looooong drive and guess what guess what?  We got another foster sister! The Mum is calling her Lily and she is a rough sable collie and she was was found on Friday night by a nice guy who took her in and kept her warm. Because it’s way too super cold outside. She has no microchip and she had no tags on, so we’ll see if we can find her home. But if not, she’s our foster sister for a bit! The Mum posted about her too on Tip Tail about Lily!

Today we went and visited Sasha! I haven’t told you guys yet but my foster sister Sasha went to live with another foster family and brothers and sister. And she is really happy there. The Mum says she cried a little bit when she dropped Sasha off at the new family, but they are a super nice family and they have three rough collies there already, and Sasha is way happy there!

And I got to play with Sasha’s foster brothers and foster sister! They are super fun and pretty collies and we had a really good time. I like Bonnie, she’s the tricolored girl who likes to run and play with me!  The Mum came too and took these fun pictures of us when we played in the snow.

One of the boy collie’s names is Fletcher, and dangit now I can’t remember the other boy collie’s name! Hrmph! The Mum says she isn’t remembering either oh well I guess we will have to ask again. I just know that they were both fun to play with and chase around!

The Mum thinks that Bonnie is really a pretty girl too! The Mum says she usually doesn’t like the black tris as much as the sables and blues and whites but Bonnie is super pretty! But of course I was the prettiest one of them all!

The Mum and I came home and loaded up these fun pictures on our laptop so we can share them with everyone. Sasha is happy too, and that makes me happy too, and the Mum too. Monday night Sasha is gonna come stay with us again because Tuesday she is going to the doggie doctor to get her teeths cleaned up and find out what the stuff on her nose is. Hrmph well then we get to play some more, yay!

The Mum is telling me that Sasha’s medical bills might get higher after we go into the doggie doctor to find out what she has. And the Mum is afraid that Utah Collie Rescue doesn’t have enough money in their bank account to pay for what she needs done. So she set up this way cool donation widget thingy so everyone can help! And if you want to see it about her you can go to Utah Collie Rescue’s Sasha Post!

If you can help out even a small amount for Sasha, maybe $10.00 even, that would be so super nice! If you can’t… maybe you could post about her and ask other people to come by and help? Utah Collie Rescue is a 501c3 (whatever that means) official snazzy rescue so all contributions are tax deductible!

Thanks everydoggie and everykitty and everyrattie and everyother fuzzy and non fuzzy!

It finally snowed! I love the snow, ’cause it’s nice and cool and I can run and run and not get too hot and stinky! Though I never really get stinky I just get hot and my tongue hangs out a bit but it’s okay I’m cute and so is my tongue!

So check out these fun pictures of the snow yesterday.  I really wanted Sasha to play with me and she did! She didn’t run around too much. The Mum says she probably doesn’t have too much energies because she still isn’t feeling well and she’s too skinny too.  But I think with more time she’ll run with me even more!

Isn’t Sasha pretty! Though the Mum and Dad say that she might go stay with another family instead of us. I would be sad because I like her a lot. But if she gets another foster family who can spend more hooman time with her, I guess that’d be okay for her. But I’d miss her I think she is super fun.

We had some good fun running in the snow. There’s lots more snow now… but the Mum hasn’t taken more pictures of us yet. She better soon.  We have fun and like to run and run and chase and run!

Here is my big yawn too that the Mum took when I was looking over Lucy’s dinner. LOL I wanted her dinner!  But the Mum didn’t give me any of her dinner. Oh well. Maybe I’ll sneak some today! I want food but I don’t really want any Phentermine!

The Mum says that next Friday we are gonna go to a place called Ogden for some super fun agility training too. I can’t wait! I like agility training!

I hope everydog is having a good weekend!

So this is Sasha! I like her a lot! Yesterday she came to stay with us for a while, last night after it go dark, and she went out into our back yard and it was dark and she did lots of potties out there, so the Mum thinks she is smart and knows not to potty in the house already! So we don’t have to go clear to the Outer Banks to get her to potty!

When we were outside last night I tried to play bow to her and dart in and out and play play but she didn’t really want to yet. The Mum told me later that she’s probably nervous for coming to live here with us and it will take her a few days to settle in and relax. My Dad is going to take her to the doggie doctor today and get her all checked out.

Her poor nose is covered with scabs so hopefully the vet can help with that. She is a sweet girl and, like me, likes to rub her face and nose on hoomans. But the Mum says maybe she does that to itch her scabby nose and that might be bad ’cause it really needs to heal up.

Sasha’s teeth are really super icky too and she has bad breath so she will need a teeth cleaning.  But she doesn’t smell all that bad really, but with her silly long fur (smoothies are so much easier like me!) she’s starting to get some mats so the Mum is asking Aunt Laurie if she’ll groom her and bathe her.   So the Mum didn’t give out any baths last night yay!

I’ll keep ya’ll posted on how Sasha is doing because she is sweet and wonderful and really needs a super great awesome forever home!

So the Mum calls me from work (okay she really called the Dad but I listened in) and told us that we are going to get a foster sister! Her name is Sasha and her people couldn’t keep her anymore and so dropped her off at the Utah Humane Society. I don’t know if Sasha was a very happy girl or not… the Humane Society people said that her nose is all scarred from her rubbing it on a chain link fence. And that is just kinda super sad. So she might have had to live outdoors instead of inside with a loving family. And the family that left her didn’t leave any information about her… but the nice lady at HSU said that she might not know to potty outside instead of inside (but sometimes I forget to do that too) and that’s okay at our house.

The Mum says we might need some wholesale shampoo because when long fuzzy haired rough collies come to us right from a shelter, they can be matted and even stinky.  So the Mum says tonight she is gonna probably be giving brushes and baths. So I better hide in case the Mum decides that I need a bath too. I don’t like baths but I like when our foster brothers and sisters smell better!

I’ll let you know tomorrow how Sasha is and if she will play with me. I just have to tell my brother Chase to be nice to her because the HSU is not a fun place to have to stay… my brother Muffit stayed there for a while and he got super sick and he says it wasn’t fun at all, a home is a much better place.  So I’m excited to meet Sasha!

Oh my my oh gosh! I have two brothers too and they are named Quinn and Major! The Mum has said for ever that she wants to name a boy dog Quinn sometime. So I said why don’t we bring Major and Quinn to us and live here in our home? The Mum says we can’t, we have six of us dogs already and only two hoomans and we need more hoomans and not so many dogs? No that is not what the Mum meant! But we are a lot of dogs and even though the Mum would love more dogs to love she says she doesn’t have time or enough money. I don’t know what money is but but there is never enough time to play!

While we all need exit signs to make sure we get out of scary situations, what we need most of all is to be brave. And the Mum has been teaching me how to be brave. And sometimes she says now I’m too brave when I bite her in the butt! But she laughs and giggles and so I know it’s okay. And I wish my brothers would find great wonderful homes soon. I’ve been in my home now for over a year. That is a lot of time! And I’m sad that Major and Quinn have not been in a home of their own yet. That is super sad. Though they do have a loving foster home but still, forever homes are better than foster homes.

So if you want to adopt a wonderful smooth collie boy please consider Major and Quinn! They are here on this website at South West Collie Rescue.

I love my brothers Major and Quinn and I still wish they could come live with us. But the Mum says when she does rescue, and especially when she rescues us collies, that she just can’t help falling in love with us. And I know what she means ’cause I am so lovable! And fun and spunky and cute! So hopefully someone will give Quinn and Major forever homes soon. The Mum here is crying because she can’t bring them here to live with us… Ooo no crying Mum!

I got back from our flyball trip to Laramie, Wyoming today. It was a fun trip. I went with the Mum, Muffit, Chase, the nail-trimming flyball captain lady (who isn’t too evil really) and her Jack Russel Terrier, Chase Me. He was cute and I wanted to play with him. I kept play bowing in the hotel but he didn’t want to play! He is weird! And I did bite the lady on the but and that was fun and we all laughed!

This first picture is of me being really pretty outside. My Aunt Mimi from Colorado, she took some pictures of me. She has a new baby puppy too, a little aussie girl named Cue, and I wanted to play with her too! I will see about posting some of her pictures too. She is puppy baby so didn’t need adult diaper, but she could have used puppy ones!

The flyball tournament was loud and noisy too. But we were inside and this picture on the right is me in my crate that was on top of my brother Chase’s crate. Chase is the only one who knows how to do flyball yet. Me and Muffit don’t, but we are gonna learn and have fun and run around and hop like bunnies! Well okay maybe just I hop like a bunny but it’s fun anyway.

Then this picture to the left is of me in front of the flyball racing lanes. There were lots of dogs barking and making noise and loud sounds behind me so I wanted to keep my ears back to listen to them instead of pose for the camera. But usually I like to pose for the camera.

We had fun though… out back of the hotel there was this really big field and the Mum let me and Muffit off the leashes! Chase always gets off the leashes, but me and Muffit kinda get distracted so she likes to keep us close. But we got to play with Kibu, a fun black dog on our flyball team. And run around and run around in the weeds. And there was this super fun stream back there too, and we all went and splashed in the water! The Mum said YUCK when we came out because… well, my front legs were covered with back goo. We laughed! But then we didn’t laugh when we had to have a bath when we got home. Yuck! The Mum said we stank!

It was a long drive home, about six hours, and we slept. I pushed Muffit and Chase out of the way in the back seat of the car and got most of the room myself, since that is how collie girls are supposed to be. And border collie boys are just supposed to let us. So they did.

And this last picture is of me sleeping… though I’m kinda giving the Mum the evil eye ’cause she is snapping a picture instead of letting me sleep. I like to sleep in the afternoons. But not in the mornings. I got the Mum and the nail-trimming lady up nice and early this morning, with nice big yaps and plays!

But now I’m tired and I’m going to go to sleep. If you want to know more about the tournament you’ll have to check out my Mum’s blog, Tip Tail, tomorrow. ‘Cause we are all tired and going to bed. Good Night!
