Not AGAIN!

I truly love my dog - she came from That'll Do Border Collie Rescue in Vancouver http://www.bcbordercollies.com/ and they work with you to make sure that the match is going to work for both the human and the furry one.  
Well it IS a great match and like I said I love her BUT
the first day she was with me she rolled in a dead seal.
The second day she rolled in a dead deer, 
the third day I don't even want to know.  
Now nine months in we average about twice a week.  
Basically anytime she is out of sight for more than 3 minutes I know someone is getting a bath later that day. 
What I don't understand is - Why only her?  
I mean I usually have between 8 and 12 dogs on the walk and her houndiness is usually the only one who comes back stinking.  
In a way that is a Good thing - better her than having to give a dog back at the end of the day " He had a GREAT day - sorry about the stink!" 
Regardless she's great and maybe she'll grow out of it??????


Since last week I've made two new friends.  This is Fido - he came for a visit from Vancouver ....
And had so much fun with HIS new friends that he's going to stay on the island in a forever home!

He had a great time out with the group and I'm hoping that we'll see more of him!
 
Today I also had Loula....
She is awesome- what a powerhouse!!! - tonnes of fun and up for anything - trouble is she is so fast all the other photos are just a blur of legs and tail - oh well!
 
And then I couldn't resist sharing this photo of Carrie and Barney!
Happy Fall Everyone!

Happy Monday!

Today was HOT - it was awesome!  And I figured that these dogs are TOUGH - they can take the heat!




So we went checked out the views because nothings beats a clear day on Quadra.  
Unfortunately the pups were only interested in having a contest to see who has the longest tongue!
Clancy is a pretty competitive guy!
Russell gave it his best shot
Really - is that the best you two can do?
You and me babe - bring it on!!!!
Just because Bailey had a blog spotlight doesn't mean she's the only star!!

And an honorary mention to Barn-Dog for being a good sport!

Forgive Me if I Don't Believe Him

This is Max - he comes out with the pack pretty frequently....
 He always tries to hide when I come to pick him up for the walks....
Forgive me if I ignore his shy looks because his days go something like this..

Talking to his friend Kayla - if I ignore Mokey she'll just go away and ...

Hey beautiful - come here often?

And he's a team player...

With PLENTY of friends...


Likes his girls especially!
Not intimidated by his buddy Cash!
No wonder he is a tired guy at the end of his days...
 
Is there anyone out there who thinks he really doesn't want to come out with the pack??? 
Really Max!  You make me look bad!

Other images to make you smile!
