I had to consult the dogs. ...Oh, this was so hard!! I had to consult the dogs. Tansy just snortled at all of them. Skye's head has swollen from all the attention - she's prancing around, wiggling her butt, and I swear the funny squeaky growling she's doing sounds like the rhythm of 'I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky lucky..."<br /><br />All the captions are fantastic and had me laughing! Special honourable mentions to Sue Mackay for 'What small kennel?'; to Kylie Griffin for 'Tansy, I said put the cushion AGAINST the couch, AGAINST THE COUCH!!!! Next time you backflip off it and I'll position the cushion!!!'; and to GW for his cheeky, 'Oh no, not the missionary position again!'<br /><br />And the winner... Jenny Schwartz for pinning Skye's cheeky nature and acting skills in "I'm dead! I'm dead! Stop writing, Bron. I'm dead!!!!" <br /><br />Jenny, if you email your address to me at bronwyn at bronwynparry dot com , I'll post your signed book out to you on Monday.<br /><br />Thank you so much for playing with me and the puppies, everyone! And big thanks to Sharon and all the LoveCats for inviting us to visit.

My sister has had three at her place, one at a time, over the years. <br /><br />I love going to sheep dog trials.

The dogs are having a great time :-) <br /><br />bn100, I'm sure sometimes Skye's tummy does feel stuffed - she's currently on a soft diet, which means we soak her dry biscuits in water, and they swell up. Tansy's a bit miffed that Skye's food bowl is fuller than hers!<br /><br />Jenny and Valerie and Rachel - she's definitely a little actress, our Skylie. She's excellent at The Innocent, The Orphan at the Gate, It Wasn't Me I was Fast Asleep, and she also has perfect comic timing. But when she really is fast asleep, she sure can snore!<br /><br />I'm loving all the captions - keep them coming! We'll decide on a winner tomorrow afternoon, so there's plenty of time left.<br /><br />Nikki, I do appreciate the cushions they let me sit on! And they both do love their tummy rubs.<br /><br />Kelsey and Zeus, I think my two would love to form the Romance Doggies of Australia with you, and go to doggie conferences. You could invite the LoveCats, too, but you'd probably have to promise not to chase them. <br /><br />Thank you, everyone, of joining in the fun - I'm really enjoying your comments! Border collies are lovely dogs, and I'm so glad we have ours to enrich our lives.Bron Parryhttp://bronwynparry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-82043245172163642612012-05-02T21:34:59.780+10:002012-05-02T21:34:59.780+10:00Love the post, Tansy and Skye!

Of course we know Border Collies are the best, but that's supposed to be our little secret! I'm not so good on the 'o'clocks' (except for home o'clock - when Mum finishes at that school place - and food o'clock (well, d'uh!) But I'm awesome at spelling - especially w-a-l-k-i-e-s, and b-a-l-l, and even sentences like g-o-f-o-r-a-r-i-d-e-i-n-t-h-e-c-a-r. <br /><br />Once Mum and Dad were going to leave me at home without them,(holiday, I think they called it) so I rounded up all my tennis balls, especilly the squeaky one, and my best soft toy, Doggie, and put them in the suitcase. Can you believe they took them out and then left me with the young humans???<br />Anyway, nice to meet you - always happy to get to know new paw pals. Maybe we can peemail each other along with Rachel's wuffly two??? Sounds like you've well-trained your human very well and have a super-duper kennelly place. You chose well!<br /><br />Licks and snuffles, Kelsey (NZ) <br />PS - No caption because that is simply a demeaning and degrading photo.

Why are you staring at the people like that?<br /><br />Tansy: I'm going to round them up, herd them into a comfy corner of the lounge, and train them all to rub my back.<br /><br />Skye: Ooh!
