Something about the beach makes people (and dogs) want to dig a hole.





Yea, Ruby is RIPPED because of all that gymnastics.

Lily is pure mutt! Still can't figure out all her mixes.

We have a California King bed, it is HUGE and tall, at least 2 and a half feet high. It accommodates varying sleep hours/patterns for all members of the family (human and otherwise). Last night I was sleeping with Jaki quietly curled up next to my head (his favorite spot, though a bummer for me since he steals a lot of pillow space) and Lily at the other end of the bed. Lily learned by herself that the feet area was the appropriate space to be for a growing dog. And as soon as Ruby wakes up at some point in the night and crawls next to me Lily is there at the end of the California King to protect her young human ward from whatever evil might befall her.

Some watch dog, Lily started sleeping so soundly that BOOM CRASH BANG she falls off the high bed. Humiliated she just crawls into her crate nearby (is it a "crate" when you take the door off?). Jaki next to me suddenly starts purring contentedly. I think that was Jaki way of giggling "tee hee, the dog fell off the bed. Stupid dog."

You'd think they spent the morning chasing mice and herding sheep.

So many butts, so little time. Lily runs with a new friend.



Best thing: Ruby & Lily's relationship. She is a girl and her dog.

As seen on red_silk_robe 's diary:

AMAZING dog talent:



I wonder if Lily is going to be about that size or bigger as whatever else she is mixed with.  The shelter says Border Collie size, the vet says otherwise.  Who do I believe?  People that rescue border collie mixes or vets that have seen it all???  Does it really matter?  No, just curious.

A face even a dog-hater has to love.



( one more, just one )

We got a puppy! A 10 week old Border Collie mix we named Lily:




I'm sure they will all be friends. You can't accuse me of being a speciest.

More "pictures of Lily" later.
