So I got on the Dad’s computer to post! And look, here is another fun park picture… you can see my tail! It’s on the right side in the back. There are two brown tails in this picture but mine is cuter! We had fun at the park and I want to go again. I’m going to tell the Dad to take us. Even if the Mum isn’t home, he could take us!

I miss the Mum, I hope she comes back soon.

Well the Mum leaves tomorrow, so I gotta get some posting in before she goes! And I thought I’d post some fun pictures of me because I’m cute and so very happy! This picture is of me at the park when we went this summer. My tongue is out and I’m being a happy girl. Chewing up bar faucets was fun too.. though mostly we chewed up sticks and stuff! And chased other dogs!

I used to be unhappy.. well, I wasn’t truely unhappy, because I am just a collie girl and I try to be happy wherever I am. But now that I live with the Mum and the Dad all all my brothers and sisters, and I get to do all the fun stuff I do… I know that I wasn’t really happy back then. I am much more happy now!

Especially because I don’t have any more acne, and I get to go to the dog park (like from this picture, I even got my feet wet!) and I get to do fun agilities and stuff. I wish everydog had a life as good as mine!

Well, okay, I think all you everydogs that come and read my blog, and whose blogs I read, are as lucky and happy as me too! It’s great to see so many happy dogs! I don’t like seeing sad dogs, especially ones chained up in their yards or dogs that don’t ever get to go inside to snuggle with their hoomans and other dogs. Those are sad dogs… so I want to think of all the happy dogs, and the Mum and me we do what we can for the sad dogs that need homes too.

I’m just so glad to see all the everydogs that have happy dog blogs!!!

We went to the dog park today! And the Dad even came with. Me, Muffit, Levi and Angel got to go. The Mum said Chase doesn’t like the other dogs too much, and Lucy can’t eat treats anymore, so it was just us four. Plus, there are only supposed to be two dogs per person so it worked out well!

There was water to walk in, and there were lots of other dogs to play with! I went off with some other hooman guy and his dogs because they were fun, and the Mum and Dad said they were worried about me just a little bit. But I like dogs so much, that I stick around them for sure!

The Mum says this is her favorite dog park. It’s a long way to the lake at the end, and then a long way back. There’s lots of shade and lots of room to run and run and run. And I have to check out all the dogs, and sometimes I forget that the Mum and the Dad and the rest of my pack is there, because I get to excited. But the Dad says that my brother Levi used to be the same way when he was young.

Every time I came back to the Mum she gave me yummy treats and told me I was a good girl for going back to her. So once in a while I’d hang out with her. She said this is how she taught Levi and Lucy and Chase to come back to her… at the Tanner Parley’s dog park, so she wants to start taking me, too.

Yay! I love the dog park! It really tired me out, too. After I got to sleep on my comfy baby bedding that is snuggly and soft. And that’s fun too.

I love the dog park!

We are all tired today, and me included, so I haven’t replied to any comments, but I will in a couple days! The Mum was building jumps in the back yard and it was hot… and, the yuckiest thing happened, I got a bath! I hate baths and I try to get out and keep my feet on the edge of the tub. But there is a sliding glass door and the Mum lathers me up and it’s awful but I can’t get out. ugh.

But I dried quick. And Muffit had a bath too, and he also dried quick. Since it’s the desert here and hot and dry, we dry quick so that’s good! Not like back in Houston, where I used to live, where it was icky and humid all the time.

Anyway, so we laid around a lot and goofed out in the back yard and didn’t need any diet pills because yesterday we did a lot. And we ate a lot today too and the Dad fed us and he feeds us more than the Mum so we like that!

Now I’m gonna go sleep some more to get rested up so I can do some butt biting in the morning!

Today the Mum took me, Chase and Muffit to a park where we got to bark. I didn’t bark much, though. She said it was a get together thing called Bark in the Park. Muffit barked a lot! Chase 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 Muffit and Chase bark I have to bark too, I can’t let them bark more than me!

There were lots of fun dogs there, and a pond where Chase 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 Chase 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, Muffit and Chase got to run around a little bit, but not too much. Chase got to do flyball and he got to do obedience work with the Mum. I got to walk around and eat treats, and Muffit got to walk around too, and the Mum tried to get Muffit 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 pack 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 bark in the car while she was packing, that was fun too!
