The snow has finally arrived!

The collies love snow, and are enjoying their snow day!

Want to come outside and play in the snow with us?

 

 

I would have been happy if the snow had held off until the new year, but it's hard to tell that to this face!



Why are you sighing Mom? Snow is fun!

 

The collies wish you...

Now and throughout the upcoming year!

Wordless Wednesday - Christmas Dreams?

As promised!

Mom promised we will try to get better Christmas pictures tomorrow - so come back soon! BOL!

Our collies...

Since we have been bad about updating, I decided to make a video!

In order of appearance : Holly, Abby, Ryder, Kori, Scarlett and my amazing daughter!

Happy Happy!

We are a day late...but hope all our American friends had a Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to see the painted turkeys this weekend. Which is a tradition in our family, since I was a little girl.  Ryder wasn't sure what to make of them.  They were very curious about him, and they all came running over to him. When he barked they all yelled "gobble, gobble gobble!"  He was astonished!  I wish I had brought a video camera!

A Fall hike with the collies...

Sunday was another beautiful Fall day here in New England. So my daughter and I grabbed the collies and we headed to the small state park in our town. As usual, we had the entire park to ourselves, so it was peaceful and we were able to enjoy our hike undisturbed!

 

Fall in New England...

Wow, it's been a tough month or so. Kia was attacked by the dog, the merger happened at work and I now have new bosses, my niece was killed, Holly had to have her toe amputated...I'm almost afraid to consider what might happen next!

But life goes on, and it's beautiful here in New England. We have been so busy! We attended a Meet The Breeds event.

Another club member brought her two rough collies too. Everyone loved the collies, but Ryder was definitely the star. Adults and children commented on how beautiful he was, and one little boy told his mother to "look at the fancy collie!"

Our club held a herding day, and many different herding breeds attended.

This boy was just too cute!

 

Kori - she did an excellant job on her herding test, just like her mom, Abby!





 

 

Friday, we took a few of the collies for a ride, to take some Fall pictures....

Ryder - I love the way the light in this picture seems to be shining down on him!

We received many compliments on the collies, everyone loved how well-behaved they were. One of the owners of the farm markets said they were better behaved than most children, and could come back anytime! We are hoping for some nice weather this weekend, so we can take the collies on a hike. Thanks everyone for your comments on my previous posts, things are finally getting back to normal!
