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 wanted to show you this cute picture of me and my sister Lucy. Lucy is the pack marm though I really want to be. I usually respect her place but sometimes I want to push her around and I try really really hard to listen to the Mum and not push her around but.. it can be hard.

Lucy doesn’t let me push her around, though, she growls and snarls and doesn’t let me. Gah! It’s frustrating. But I do like Lucy a lot, and the Mum says she’s sick and might have cancer and might not be with us very much longer. But for now Lucy is still boss and I have to listen to what she says!
