I had my annual review yesterday. And I was given a raise, which is always welcome! And to have a job where everyone appreciates your work, and believes you are a valuable member of the department, is a good thing. Of course the collies wanted to know what this meant for them...
Ryder: “Mom, does this raise mean there will be new toys in my future?”
Scarlet: “Don’t be silly Ryder, it means more cow hooves for me! I am the Princess after all!”
Kori: “You are both wrong, a raise means Mom can buy more pink, bouncy balls! I will not rest until all the shiny, pink balls are mine!”
Holly: “You pups are so silly, I already have plans for that new money, and it doesn’t involve any of you youngsters. Mom’s raise means more gas money, so more trips to the dog park for me!”
Abby: “Yawn, all this arguing is making me tired. I need another nap!”
"coexist" everyone has a different viewpoint; what lovely dogs. And how do YOU plan to spend your money?
ReplyDelete:) It will most likely go to dog show entry fees. The upcoming collie specialty season begins in a couple months.
DeleteThank you for visiting our blog and for your very nice compliment. We think your dogs are all beautiful too. Mom used to have a Sheltie, not quite the same as your.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you on your great review. Now we hope you will be able to meet each of the pups' requests:)

Thank you! I'm sure no matter how the money is spent...it will be dog related! lol We will be going to dog shows soon, no doubt the money will go to entry fees and travel costs.
DeleteYou collies are so silly. You know your mom is going to have to go on a budget now. That budget will have three items in it. Toys, treats, and trips (to the dog park).
ReplyDeletethey agree with you Bongo, 100%. But they have so many dog toys now we had to buy a second toy box. (spoiled collies!)
DeleteI'm new here but I look forward to reading your blog. I've always loved Collies ever since I was a child with watching the TV series Lassie and then reading any and all dog books that I could check out at the library. I never had a collie but fell in love with Shelties...and Goldens and really I love all dogs.
ReplyDeleteExtra $$$$ = extra goodies and good times!
We had a golden too, they are such sweet dogs! Some day, I'd love to have another, but my house is full at the moment! :)
ReplyDeleteI lived the Lassie movies growing up, and Albert Payson Terhune's books. Have you read any of the Sunnybank stories?
Congrats on your raise. Dont let your dogs spend it all. LOL
