Bundle Up It’s Gonna Be Cold!

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

The Mum and I were just watching the weather-guesser on the news and he said that it is supposed to be really cold the next few days here in Utah in Salt Lake City where we live. It’s supposed to get down to four degrees on Saturday or Sunday!

And so to show how I get all curled up to stay warm, I thought I’d show you some pictures! This first one is of me. The Mum says me, , and can all curl up really nice. But Lucy and Angel can’t really, they just don’t bend. So the Mum and the Dad put blankets on them and get snuggly beds for them so they can stay warm too.

If you don’t know how to curl up maybe there is a toll free number you can call to learn! It makes my belly super warm, and I put my tail over my nose too, to keep my nose warm.

also knows how to curl up really tight into a ball. Us collies are good at it usually. And border collies, the Mum says, are even better because they are so flexible. But being flexible isn’t all that important… I like being a collie even if we are not as flexible as border collies!  Okay okay… being flexible is kinda important, and for collies me and are pretty flexible and we have pretty good bodies that let us do lots of way fun stuff!

is kinda silly when he is all curled up, because he does it and keeps his eyes open sometimes and peers at the Mum when she is taking pictures. LOL is a silly border collie boy! He can curl up into a teeny tiny ball though, because he’s so small, he makes a very small ball.

Can you curl up into a small ball to keep warm? It’s not really that cold in our house though either… the Mum wants it colder, the Dad wants it warmer. So it changes quite a bit. Oh but the Mum is being sick now and that’s why I haven’t posted much lately anyway because she hasn’t left the laptop on for me to post with. But that’s okay, I have been curling up with her and keeping her warm, too!

Playing or Fighting? Guess!

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

PB094622PB094617

The Mum finally got some pictures of me playing with Chip! kinda started it though… and doesn’t it kinda look like we are fighting instead of playing? Chip likes to show all his teeth when he plays, but I’m not fooled! is the same way, I think I’ve posted about that before. Probably before the Mum went on her European cruises.. and left me behind!

I was able to get him good on his neck, and the Mum snapped a picture just at the right time! It looks like I’m biting him and he’s yelling in pain, and he’s gonna whip around and bite me back! But he didn’t, he just played with me back! And likes playing too. We all have a great time!

PB094616PB094612

He is a fancy sheltie boy with all his long fuzzy hair, kinda like my white sheltie friend Reilly. Fuzzy shelties sure are fun to have around and with! I wish I could with Reilly, too. I just get to with Chip while he is here hanging out with us.

We are all kinda tired now and snoozing after our big fight!

Tatum Muffit Chase

In the trailer, I just wanted to wear my tiara, and and wanted to . And even though looks kinda mean here, he is just being a dork. He plays with all his teeth out! And , as you can see, is a little bit thinking is a dork, too.

kinda tilted my tiara a little bit… which made me mad, but the Mum fixed it for me. Which is good ’cause I don’t want it to fall off. And we played in the trailer ’cause we didn’t have a xbox 360 to fool with.. we just had each other, and no TV either!

The Mum watched a show on the TV that she called Bones last night.. though I didn’t see any chew bones on it, just dogs barking! And every time they barked, I barked too, ’cause I thought they were gonna come out of the TV and get me! And I had to at them to make them go away. The Mum said it was a show that had a lot of things about dogs that aren’t really real, but it did have a good message that people who get dogs need to keep them for ever and ever, even if they get big and they didn’t expect it!

Agility Saturday

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Setup at the TrialThe Mum took me, and to an trial on Saturday. Man we go to these a lot! But the Mum says in the winter we don’t go to as many. We didn’t get to run around much because some hoomans were playing a game called baseball in our regular run around area. Didn’t they know that’s for dogs to run around? I guess it’s set up for hoomans to that ball game, but really it should have been for us.

But me and got to go out and visit people and dogs. And the Mum put me up on a table so I tucked up my tail in case it was going to be scary, and a guy called a judge measured where my shoulders were. But they are always in the same place so not sure what that was about. He said I was twenty inches at the shoulder, and the Mum said that was good, so I guess that was good, whatever!

Then we came home and today we are mostly sleeping… the Mum went to go for a swim at her friend’s house but I didn’t want to go, ’cause I don’t swim! Hrm. But we get to go to practice tonight and that’ll be fun. Though the Mum is fiddling with her tv mount for her big flat TV and that’s scary, we hope she doesn’t drop it!

I am the boss of Muffit

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Flyball Practice 2This evening me, , and took the Mum to practice. Well, she drove, but I wanted to. She made us all sit in seat belts the whole way. She used to just have us in seat belts on the freeway but since her car accident on Friday she is making us always seatbelted in. But I guess we are safer so that’s okay.

Flyball Practice 1We had fun and I got to bunny hop over some fun jumps. The Mum says I’m supposed to run over them but it’s more fun to bunny hop over them! And got to show off how well he’s doing on the box! He did great! But then when the Mum took his leash off he just wanted to go with Oreo and not go over jumps. and me both like other dogs a lot. , he just likes and tugging a lot.

The Mum didn’t bring her good camera so she took these with her cell phone. Her cell phone takes dumb pictures but they are better than nothing. And then the Mum went to the bathroom at the and said the bathroom fixtures were really icky so she wouldn’t bring me in. Oh well, it probably smelled bad anyway!

So while the Mum was off doing stuff without me and , we got to stay in the pen. And I decided that I’m boss of . So I kept him away from having any water, and if I had to tell him I was boss so I’d jump on his back and growl at him. :) He heheee… I am so smart and tough! The other hoomans at the practice said that the Mum has created a monster (me? a Monster? no way!) and spoiled me too much. But hey, I’m a smooth sable collie girl and I’m the smartest and the bossiest! Though Lucy still thinks she’s boss here at home. I now for sure I am boss of and I sure let him know!

Anyway.. time to get to sleep now. I’m tired from running around and bunny hopping and eating lots of treats. It was fun though!

I Barked in the Park

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Tatum StandToday the Mum took me, and to a where we got to . I didn’t much, though. She said it was a get together thing called in the . barked a lot! barked a little. And I barked some too when we were all in our crates in our shade tent and people walked by. ‘Cause when and I have to too, I can’t let them more than me!

Tatum Head ShotThere were lots of fun dogs there, and a pond where got to go swimming. I don’t really like to swim, I just like to wade, so the Mum had me wait in the crate while got to swim.

The Mum tried to get me to stay in one spot for pictures, but I like to move. She says someday soon I’ll learn that staying is the best, and I’ll get treats for it… but now I kinda get a little nervous still and so I wiggle and stand up and move. And there was no mat for me to sit on and so I didn’t know where I should stay.

But in these pictures you can see the tents behind me and all the people. There were lots of people with treats too, and me, and got to run around a little bit, but not too much. got to do and he got to do obedience work with the Mum. I got to walk around and eat treats, and got to walk around too, and the Mum tried to get to watch her instead of everything going on. But he likes to watch everything going on. But he gets really nervous about it so the Mum says it would be better if he watched her instead.

Anyway, it was a fun day and it’s nap time, now, ’cause I’m tired! It took the Mum a long time to up all our crates and the tent and gear and stuff. She needs some custom boxes to load everything in to put it in the car. Us three got to wait and in the car while she was packing, that was fun too!

We Like to Run

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Tatum Muffit Chase 02The Mum took me, , and to an trial last weekend. It was fun! Friday and Saturday weren’t as fun as Sunday, though. This was Sunday and we got to run around! stayed home on Sunday ’cause he didn’t want to do , and the Mum wanted to make sure he was okay and healthy so he stayed home. So it was just me and the border collies on Sunday.

Tatum Muffit Chase and Me like to . goes running off after that frisbee thing, and and I don’t care much about it, but we love to run after !

The Mum had lots of treats, too, which we all like so we go to her after we run and get some. She gives us lots, every time we go to her, so that is fun! Though sometimes I like to sniff around and check other things out, which are really interesting and more so than treats. The Mum says she needs to get me other treats too, because she wants me to think coming to her is more fun and interesting than anything else in the world. and like to go to the Mum, but me and like to run off and sniff stuff sometimes. But the Mum says we’ll realize, soon, that she is the best thing ever. Well, she’s not so bad, but I wouldn’t let her know that I really like her… I have to make sure it’s kinda a secret!

Tatum Chase Muffit 03

It was pretty hot that day and we didn’t run too long, afterward we went into our crates and had big drinks of water and then took a bit of a nap. It’s really fun to go to trials. I used to be kinda afraid of them, but everyone has Livers, and we can run, and say hi to other dogs, and it’s lots of fun so I like to go!
