Welcoming October

[summer_jackel]

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

Young collie


The ones that aren't posed are the best, though.

Beautiful. :)

Do collies come in the non-tri blue-merle colouration?

You have a fantastic bunch of dogs, I'll say that. I miss your pack of fuzzballs, and heck, in their strange, doglike ways, maybe one or two of them even miss me. Rogue certainly got her bread buttered alot when I was around!

Such beautiful doggies... (happy sigh)

Great shots! Your big rough-boy is just amazing. The bigger he gets, the more I'm loving him!

My parents cannot take their chocolate lab to the beach because he drinks the water.

Lovely photos. You have very poofy dogs

I want to snuggle up and fall asleep in the middle of your pack.

Whither went the aardcollie?
He was just a pup!
Whither went the aardcollie?
The nose...it's all growed up!
Whither went the aardcollie?
The speckle-ly nose...it fits!
All salute the aardcollie,
for now adult he is!

Wonderful piccys, by the way. Thank you for sharing!
