My Zoey Girl

I just love this dog!  She has been so patient with the puppy who tortures her on a regular basis.

Macro Monday - Zoey

I was trying to get a pic of Zoey's whiskers and speckles for Sunday Stills but he wouldn't sit still (I had to wait until she was sleeping).  She thought just maybe the camera had treats.

Sunday Stills - Macro Pics

This week's Sunday Stills Challenge is Macro Pics. Ed took pity on those of us living in cold climates and came up with a challenge that can be done indoors.

Shadows and Light

Zoey is one of my favorite subjects to shoot pics of.  She isn't afraid of the camera or flash and will pretty much pose for me (Bandit doesn't really like the camera and will look away when I try to take pics).

Sunday Stills - Pets

This week's Sunday Stills Challenge is Pets.  This was a perfect challenge for me since I had just taken some new pics of Zoey and Bandit, inside while playing around with flash photography.

Zoey - She's so easy to take pics of.  She doesn't mind the flash at all.

Wordless Wednesday - Mid Bark

First Snow of the Season

We had a snow shower on Thanksgiving Day.  It didn't last long and it really didn't stick but it was pretty.  Bandit and Zoey certainly enjoyed it.

Brenda Photo Challenge - Orange

How could I pass up the Brenda Photo Challenge for Orange??  The leaves are changing, the crops are being harvested -  a colorful time of the year.

Frisbee Dogs

Every morning I play frisbee with Bandit and Zoey.  Being Border Collies, they can be pretty obsessive about toys and there is a definite routine that requires two frisbees.  The first frisbee gets thrown for Zoey who chases it.  As soon as that frisbee is thrown, the second frisbee is thrown for Bandit.  Once Bandit catches it, Zoey drops hers and chases him with the frisbee.  And on and on it goes until they get tired.  If you mess up the sequence, nothing works right.  Bandit will let the frisbee hit him in the head if you throw his frisbee before Zoey's.  I wonder who has who trained....

Waiting for the frisbee

Not a care in the world

The orange frisbee is actually Bandit's, Zoey's is pink

T took these pics while I manned the frisbees

Her Favorite Toy

Zoey's favorite toy is a rubber spider that you can stuff with treats. 

She knows the word "spidey" and will seek out the toy and throw it on your lap so you can fill it up.  We routinely play fetch with it and sometimes even tug-o-war although I don't want her to pull Spidey's legs off.  Bandit won't even look at Spidey since he's knows it's Zoey's toy.  Spidey kept her company while she checked out the neighborhood.

Bunny Ears

I'm a little under the weather so I haven't been taking pics or working on my blog posts.  Please bear with me while I catch up.

These Dogs are Thirsty!

Life is never boring with two Border Collies!

Seriously Goofy

Every morning I play frisbee with Bandit and Zoey.  

Zoey loves to steal the frisbees and run off with them.

Sometimes tug-o-war is better

Tug-o-war with the leash is always fun too

Something got her attention

And she's off - probably chasing Bandit

It's been so hot here that we have been hosing the dogs off when we play outside.  That's why she looks like a drowned rat.

Checking out the Scenery

Bandit and Zoey gazing out the front door.

They love to sit and watch what's going on.

Notice how Zoey's ear is starting to stand up - they are like book ends
