I will not be showing these pics to my dogs...they think dogs are not allowed on the couch(s). I'd have a serious revolt on my hands. They get new cedar fluffy dog beds every 6 months but I know they'd much prefer the couch! You have such cute pups!! :-D

PS. I have that exact same blanket that Betty does...

We went out today to play some frisbee the other day. Chloe and Nell had fun, but Chloe froze up a little in her paws and started limping and bleeding a little, so we went back to the car and went home. She's ok, was just a small scratch from the freezing ice between her toes. But while we were out there, we also met another person with her 2 dogs. After playing a little, one of her dogs had seen an injured duck. And there were no other ducks around as well. The duck would have never survived where it was, and her dog chased it a little, but then turned back. My dogs caught wind of it also and started towards it. The duck tried getting away and Nell circled it to the front, and layed down, and chloe went up along side of it and stayed. I was going up to Nell and the duck started going towards the fence and Chloe and Nell stopped it again, staying about 2 feet from it and planted themselves again. The gal asked if the duck was ok and I told her it was hurt. So she took it to take care of it, she has ducks and guinea hens of her own that she raises. So it's going to be ok. It was pretty cool that she was able to care for it and nurse it back to health. I think it had an injured wing and couldn't fly. It was also nice to see Nell and Chloe work, and not attack the duck. And whenever Nell stopped the duck, she planted herself on her belly, like you see BC's do when herding sheep. Wished I would have gotten pics, but I was more interested in keeping the duck from getting further injured.

Well, when out playing, I did get a few more pics.

Frisbee and car rides, where my Border Collies favorite things to do! Amazing how much behavior is breed into those dogs! She was so gentle with all other animals. Once had a friends parakeet land on her head. She just stood as still as she could, looking up at me, like what do I do. Your dog has that same intese expression my dog always had when she was doing something fun. Beatiful pictures!

Your dogs are beautiful! I think they wanted to help the duck. I'm glad someone took it and is going to take care of it. I have a special place in my heart for ducks. We had one when I was about 10 years old. We lived in Germany and my Dad found it on his way home from work one day and brought her home. She was the best pet! We had to give her up when we moved back to the States.
