Welcoming October
What could be finer than the NorCal coast on a clear October morning?
There was apparently considerable excitement back in camp while I was at work yesterday. My neighbor, who is reroofing my house, witnessed Tiger make the swift, efficient and impressive kill of an extremely large rat, which was walking on the road behind the house. He proceeded to dash it past all the dogs and (sigh) into the house. I am now inclined to believe that the one Coba brought in a little while ago was actually Tiger's. Neighbor, who is not to my knowledge a cat person, is all appreciative of Tiger now. Good kitty; I am so grateful!
On the other hand, with no less than eight fuzzy carnivores sharing this space with me, we had BETTER not have any rodent issues!
My pack. See how dignified they are? If only I'd brought the DSLR and not the point and shoot. When am I going to remember this?
In flight
OK, so there's this amazing thing that happens. You obtain this awkward, excessively snouted and rumpled little pup thing, and nurture the beast for a bit. There is this quasi-miraculous process whereby the creature becomes a collie. I'm still looking for the sleight-of-hand involved.
Isn't he handsome?
In an extremely silly way.
Lovely Jezzie
I love this shot
I like to pose these group shots, and sometimes they come out well. Colliething trio!
Pack hears something
Housefoxen
Young collie
The ones that aren't posed are the best, though.

I am loving watching Chaos grow. He came to me as such a sweetly awkward, hopelessly silly-looking pup. I don't know if I completely believed that he was ever going to be beautiful. But he is growing up awfully lovely...and he has such a kind, reasonable and intelligent personality. He's such a great boy. :) Collies are neat! I made the right decision.
