Hurry with his new Dad, Jay.

Aunt Sally's latest

I was taken up to play with Aunt Sally's group this last week and met the neatest little pup. She had called him "Hurry", but my Dad figured it should be "Hurri" after "Hurricane". He's only four months old, but he was herding Aunt Sally's "Derby" and "Flare" like he'd been doing it for years!! (He even tried to herd me, but I ignore pups - they're to playful for me.) Then my Dad e-mailed the man that he got me from and told him all about "Hurry". I heard today that "Hurry" now has a new home on a farm just west of Souris, Manitoba. He should have a fun time as Mr. Jay has a whole bunch of sheep for him to keep him busy. Good luck to you, "Hurry" (or as my Dad calls him, Hurri")

available T-shirts

Hi everybody!! My "boss" (HA!!) asked me to pass along this information to all the Border Collie Moms & Dads out there. He found himself a neat T-shirt with the decal of Border Collies on it. The shirt is available through the web-site: www.BestFriendsPets.net, and then go into "Alphabetical List of Dogs". The Border Collie designs are #FT 376 (of three Border Collies), #D0010 (a single head-on of a Border Collie with the words "Border Collie"), and #6880 (three Border Collies - with one jumping after one of those dumb frisbees, Freckles).

Hi Freckles!!

Hi Freckles!! Hey, maybe you didn't do well with the frizbee, but chasing squirrels is more fun anyway. I scared one real good today up in Little Mountain!! And thanks for teaching me that neat trick about running into the water on the way home. Is my Dad ever choked at me!! :-) He let me swim around for a long time when we first got there, then took me through the trails to dry off. Then on the way back to the car, I pulled your stunt and ducked away to go for another swim. Dad was standing at the top of the hill, yelling for me, but I just stood there in the water and grinned. But he got even with me when we got home. He got out the hose and sprayed me down good. So I shook all over him!! (and he was bent down over me when I did it, too!) Who says we dogs can't get even?!?!

Now I'm REALLY mad!!

Stupid CANADA DAY!! Oh, I like the idea of being able to just laze around with my folks for a day. It's just all those darned fireworks - especially the kids with their fireCRACKERS!! They scare the heck out of me!! When it was time for bed, I didn't even want to go outside into the yard to conduct my private business. Having to be escorted out and watched by Dad is embarrassing.

I'm MAD!!!

Well, maybe, ANGRY!! My Dad took me up to Little Mountain Park for a run today. And he took along my favourite toy, my "Whizzer" (it's a cloth frizzbee). Anyway, after I had chased it a few times, I smelled something really good and dropped it. My Dad picked it up and put it in his pocket. THEN HE LOST IT!! MY FAVOURITE TOY, AND HE GOES AND LOSES IT!! Now, I ask you. What kind of good Dad is that?? If any of you see a pink "Whizzer" on one of the trails, pick it up and hang it on the Bulletin Board at the shack for me. I'm going to make him buy me a new one anyway!! Not only that, but he ran out of treats for everybody!! Now I'm mad and embarrassed!! If I chase him up a tree, don't be surprised. :-(

Watch for this guy!!

Watch for this guy!! I got Mom & Dad to take me over to Little Mountain Park today because the weather was so much nicer. I had a ball, but I have to warn you all. I met up with a brindle-coloured cross-breed that looks like he has some Pit Bull in him.. He's only a pup, but HE PLAYS ROUGH!! It didn't start that way, but Mom & Dad had to pull me away. Then I met up with another Border Collie named "Java". He's a big guy and we got along fine, but when the "pup" came up, he really started knocking Java about. Mom got really worried and I took me to the car. I wasn't going to stay there in case he decided to come after me again. Finally his Dad put a lead on him and took him away, but like I said, he plays rough. Watch out for him.

the weather

I don't know about the rest of you, but I HATE THIS WEATHER!! It's just too darned cold!! It's been so cold that I've been forced to lay there and stare at my Mom until she takes me out into the yard for some exercise. I don't mind the temperature because I already have a nice coat on, but she has to take all sorts of time to put on pants, and boots, and mitts, and a big coat. She did take me over to the off-leash park for a run one day, and ended up looking like an Eskimo with ice formed all around her hood. I was too polite to laugh, but she did look a little funny. My Dad has been busy for the past week and leaving the house long before I get up, so I guess I can forgive him for not taking me out. But NEXT week, I plan to stare at him big time!!
