A little privacy please!

When you're a puppy in the winter, the only place where the snow isn't over your head is under the trees. So that's where Joni went to find a bit of privacy. But so cute... how could I resist?

Happy MonDog!

A black and white puppy is crouched in the snow under an evergreen with snow-covered branches. She is gazing into the distance.

What's more fun than a border collie puppy in the snow?

Enjoy your Thursday, friends!

A black and white 2 month old border collie puppy is standing under some evergreen branches. She is covered in fine snow, on her face and rear end and looking towards the camera. The ground has some snow on it, but dried pine needles poke through as it's not deep.

That typical border collie intense look. "Throw the ball!"

A late evening light gives a lovely glow to this scene and the eyes of the dog in the photo. A black and white border collie with freckles on her nose and a very intense stare is staring off to the left of the camera, waiting for her ball to be thrown. Her ears are half erect. She is standing in a field of yellowish brown grass lit by the evening sun.

Ancestral Portrait for the Castle

Joni was so cute when she was a puppy and before she got obsessed with herding the cats.
We wish you all both a happy #WhiskerWednesday and #WoofWednesday , whatever you are doing.

A black and white border collie puppy, with head and shoulders only, facing the camera. She is looking very serious, almost like an ancestral portrait you might see hanging in a castle.

Joni is eloquent asking to play with her second favourite toy (after the blue ball). This is her red spikey. She also has a red ring, which is the same except that it's smooth, with no spikes and she knows the difference. She knows all her toys by name and will search until she finds exactly the right toy for the occasion.
She wishes you a happy Woof Wednesday

#WoofWednesday #StevenKPosts #dog #pets #BorderCollie #JoniTheBorderCollie #animal

A black and white border collie is lying on a patterned blanket on her bed next to a brick wall, with a red spiked rubber ring in her mouth. She has a pleading look in her eyes with her head slightly to the side. She is missing one front bottom tooth and has a couple of freckles on her nose and a white streak up her forehead.

Jon says this is the best way to prepare for a coming storm. And to hide from everything. I think I might join her.
Have a great Wednesday, everyone!

A black and white border collie is lying on her back with her feet in the air. She is in a little cubbyhole in a brick arch, on a brown dog bed. Her head is hanging over the edge of the cushion with her chin and slightly open lips. She is obviously fast asleep.

I had a parcel I was waiting for yesterday and was really annoyed to find it just sitting on the lawn with no delivery notification. It was barely visible from the house as it's down a bit of a dip and we might have missed it.
I was going to complain to the delivery company... Then I saw the proof of delivery photograph I eventually got. Explains everything.

Happy Saturday everyone!

The photo showing proof of delivery has a long drive leading up to a house. In the grass in the front of the photo is the parcel with a happy looking black and white border collie standing over it.

And now we see the effects of Cumin on a dog. *

*she was just playing, there was nothing wrong with her.

A black and white border collie is lying on her back with her paws folded up, on a brown looped mat that's inside a brick arched cubby hole.

That look

The one your dog gives you when you put Cumin in her dinner instead of ginger.

a black and white border collie is lying on a brown looped mat, with mostly her head visible. She has a rather miserable expression in her eye that we see.

Joni and the First Blue Ball
It’s a day for a puppy photograph. Thinking about it, though, most days are good days to see a puppy pic. This was Joni when she was about 10 weeks old, with her first blue ball. She was a terrible chewer, as you can see, and was on her way to destroying this, but was able to spare a few seconds to glance up at me. Have a lovely day, friends.

A black and white border collie pup is lying on some old beige floor lino. She has a blue ball between her white paws and has her mouth over it, chewing it. She is looking up at the camera sideways, with her lovely brown collie eyes.

WOT? No frisbee?

Some young dogs are so demanding. There is never enough playtime to completely satisfy a border collie. This was taken when Joni was 4 months old and we used to tease her that she had a broken ear.
Have a great Friday, friends.

A dog is standing behind a low concrete wall with her chin resting on it, looking directly at the camera. Her face is black with a white stripe down from her forehead widening, with a few grey patches on it around her black nose. One of her ears is cocked half up, the other is down. Behind her is a grey patch of ground.

Joni and the Blue Ball
This was the start of the love affair with blue balls. This had belonged to her predecessor, but she loved it from the moment she saw it. We are several blue balls further on now, she is a chewer.
Enjoy your Monday, #fedifriends

A black and white border collie puppy is looking soulfully at the camera as she lies on the flour. Her pays are stretched out in front of her and her chin is almost on one. A chewed blue ball is lying by her elbow.

I think I must be trying to make myself feel better about approaching winter. Joni loves walks on the beach in the winter and I admit that I do as well, when I can push myself to go there. She looks a bit miserable here, though, probably because it was over and we were on the way home.
Have as good a Monday as you can make it, friends.

A black and white collie dog covered in snow is looking at the camera. Her golden eyes and the gold lights on the dashboard are the only colour in an otherwise grey and black and white toned scene.

Preparing for the storm

Joni has her own pack to carry, with her food (and the food for the cats, but don't tell her), collapsible food bowl, papers and, on the top, to be added at the last minute in a net, her blue ball. She's a great help in emergencies.
Happy Friday, all. Stay safe.

A black and white border collie dog is standing sideways on to us on a woodland path, looking directly at the camera. Her mouth is open and she has her ears up in anticipation. She has a red and black carrying pack over her back.

Joni and the Sheep

Years ago we took Joni on a few sheep herding sessions to see how she would take to it. As you see, she enjoyed it. We didn't continue with the lessons, though, deciding to stick with frisbees and balls instead. And now she herds cats, which is much more of a challenge. And she can do it in the house.

A very wet, muddy black and white border collie is running along in a muddy field at the front of the frame, with a group of black, brown and white sheep moving beside her. Another border collie is in the background.

This was Joni 2, our first border collie, second Joni. Make sense of that if you will. She was a special dog, kinder than most, less obsessive, more devoted than some and very obedient. And so beautiful, as you see. We lost her in October 2012. She left big shoes to fill.

An alert and dignified looking long haired border collie is standing in a wooded area. She is black and white and looking directly at us.

Happy Monday, all.

As the summer is winding down there are still some mornings that look like this. Joni was quite young in this photograph, but the intensity never wanes.
Make it as good a day as you can!

A young black and white border collie is sitting to attention looking alert, head slightly cocked. She is looking intently to the left of the frame and surrounded by grasses and greenery in a sunny setting.

I was photographing forget-me-nots in the garden and a very young Joni followed me, standing there, full of curiosity as you can see!
Enjoy your Friday, FediFriends.

A young black and white border collie is looking at the camera with her head and ears cocked as if curious about the click of the shutter. There is green background.

Happy #Fursday everyone!

Because... everyone needs a border collie pup photo sometimes. Joni was about 3 months old in this photo and she had a brand new toy. Blue is her favourite colour (blue and yellow are the colours they see best, apparently). Have a great day/evening, friends.

A black and white border collie pup with a white streak down her nose is standing looking at us with a blue corduroy toy in her mouth. She is in front of a brick wall.

Joni and the Frisbee

Joni's favourite game is to tease us with her frisbee (or ball or rubber ring) by standing just out of reach with it held temptingly in front of us.
