Collieween 2014

Well cyber-paw pals Dad had an exciting collieween.  He went through 14 bags of candy and there were all kinds of little hooomans running around.  I unfortunately had to stay in the bedroom because I got really barky.

Don't Know the Pups, but Love the Pawtograph

Best of all Tonks' & Kiana's hoooman Mom, Dad and Sister stopped by to help Dad.  They were the hit of the block.  They were making swords, dogs, flowers and other things out of balloons.  Dad thinks we were the collies bark this Collieween.

Hope every paw had a safe and fun Collieween.

Visitor From North Florida

It was a grrrreat surprise cyber paw pals.  One of Dad's friends from North Florida came to visit and her collies have a dog blog too.  Dad thought she was bringing one of her collies.  When I found out they weren't coming, I was upset.  As soon as she came by the door, I was doing my happy dance and barking.

I Sure Like Dad's Visitor

You may remember seeing her pawtograph before.  She was the Dog Mom to Lady I and Lady II, who have crossed the rainbow bridge.  She now has two collies, one named Gracie and the other one Loki.  She promised that at least one of them will come down to see me next time she visits.  Her last visit she put butterfly wings on me, this time she took me to the groomers.  She told Dad that I was a real trooper and handled it well.  Then of course Grrrreat Auntie taught me how to be a brave collie.

She Visited Us Back In October 2011

She Made Me Wear Butterfly Wings

I enjoyed the extra walks and having someone around the house.  Sure hope Dad gets more visitors.

As for a puppy, we are waiting for one to be born.  Dad already has a name in mind too.

Waiting On A Surprise

Well cyber-paw pals, Dad told me to expect a surprise tomorrow.  I wonder what it will be.

I've been seeing more pups at Angel Paws and need to make sure Dad takes his Camera.  The batteries died in the camera, so I had to get after Dad.

Pawtographs and Memories

Dad has been in a melon collie mood today.  It would have been Grrrreat Auntie Essex 11th Barkday.  I've kept in in good spirit with my best antics, but Grrreat Auntie went through a lot of significant events with Dad.  He smiles at me, but he remembers his little girl.  He will be okay tomorrow, he only gets misty eye when he thinks of Essex or Deacon.  The picture below was taken after a morning walk.  There was a steady rain and they both got very wet.

Me and Essex Playing

Essex with us last night, I think she help the Cardinals with that walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth.  I didn't post about it yesterday because the game wasn't over when I posted.  When our friend Jake mentioned El Birdos, it made Dog Dad think of being in Grade School.  He thought of Orlando Cepeda, Lou Brock, Tim McCarver, Roger Maris, Steve Carlton and Bob Gibson.  Dad loved the fiery nature of Gibson.  He remembers being in school and the teacher wheeling out the TV set and the entire class watching the World Series on school time.  Then there was the time one of his classmates got in trouble for having in an earpiece and listening to the game during class.   There were times when he got home from school and the World Series was on.  My how things have changed.  Now Dad is lucky if he can stay awake for the end of the game.

El Birdos Sherman

On the puppy front we have had no luck.  Three litters but no tri-color girls.  Dad has his heart set on a tri-color girl.  When that pup is born there will be a huge celebration.  In the meanwhile we will go to Angel Paws Dog Park early today.  The spirit of Grrreat Auntie will be there, and it where she would want to be on her Barkday.

Beware Of The Elf

Dad has been in a good mood today.  First our Brooke and Sidney are doing fine.  They weathered the typhoon.  We were worried about them.

Next the Cleveland Browns won.  That put Dog Dad in a really good mood.  I wore a Cleveland Browns hat for Dad.  All I can say is "Beware of the Elf!"  I wonder if the Spirit of Grrreat Auntie Essex had any role in the win.  It is pawsible.

Bowsers, The Other Team Had This Look In Their Eyes

Did The Spirit Of Essex Help Cleveland?

Then Dad mowed the yard and took me to Angel Paws.  Much to my delight, my pal Karma showed up.  We played a bunch and that made our hooomans smile.

Praying For My Pals Brooke & Sidney

Folks, Dog Dad and I are keeping our pals Brooke and Sidney in our prayers because their pack moved to Okinawa.  If you have been following the news, Okinawa had one typhoon and now are dealing with Typhoon Vongfong.  The winds from Typhoon Vongfong are 70 mph now and are forecast to reach 117 miles per hour.  Dad told me they are due to have winds over 70 mph for over 36 hours.  I can't imagine not going to the bathroom for that long.

Their entire pack is in our thoughts and prayers.  We hope the Great Dane watches over them and keep them safe.

Dog Speed.
