Speedy dogs video

My first attempt at speeding up some video clips of my dogs ... program used Videopad Video editor

The cutest Toffee pic - ever

Scared little babies , lol

Im sitting here infront of the puter , minding my own business , its quiet cos for once I dont have any music blaring or any dvd on , and the dogs are all lying down nicely having a snooze ....

then BANG , A poor bird smacks into the window (no damage to the window and the bird flew off so hopefully no damage to it either)

suddenly I have two border collies on my knee , or at least trying to get onto my knee (they arent small dogs , lol)

yep , Toffee and Gypsy were soooo startled by the poor bird that they both almost did a sidelong leap onto me to save them

Teddy barely raised his head to look , lol

I dont have 3 dogs , I have one dog and two little scaredy cats :D

Sunny Playtime

We've been having gorgeous weather here lately , so the dogs are definately enjoying themselves on the field , though it does entail their slave (me) dragging along a huuuuge bottle of water for them  :)

Piccies in no particular order

The story

Gypsy - Playfiiiiiight , Ready ... get set ...

Gypsy - Gooooooo

Toffee - Im a lover not a fighter ... Shall we dance tra la la

Gypsy - You stood on my paw ... Grrr Gnash chomp

Toffee - Maybe we should just stick to bird watching
Gypsy - Good idea

been playing in paintshop pro again

pencil sketch effect & Mask (you should click the image to see it full sized , it looks better)
I may print this out and frame it , I really like how it looks

Twofold success

Ive been working extra hard lately with all three dogs and their 'wait' command and also their excitability when the postie is around
Overall we've been doing well ... this morning was excellent :)

I put the three of them in a wait at the top of the stairs this morning , went down , pottered about , put the kettle on , wandered past the stairs , opened the front door & still the dogs stayed put until I waved them down ... so they will now 'wait' for a good 5 minutes even with the front door wide open , success number one

Posties making his rounds , All three dogs are VERY aware he is in the street, I put them in a sit and say 'wait' , not one dog moved a muscle , there was some excited whining but no-one broke the command , well not until I started lavishing praise on them , then I got buried under an avalanche of fluffy border collies all striving to be the first to get a hug , lol , success number two

Its a good day :D

and just cos I can , a piccie of The Amigo's

Oh my gawd YOU STINK !

The Amigos had a great playtime on the field today , lots of running and jumping and chasing and general merriment  ... all the things I love to see
A perfect walk  :)

BUT ....
Toffee found something truly icky just before we were due to come home and had to rub his neck in it , luckily we saw him and stopped him before he managed a full body roll in it .... I think it was fox poo cos OH MY GAWD the smell was horrendous
So far he has had two baths and he still stinks to high heaven , Im gonna have to get the tomato ketchup out I think
Why is it always him , lol

4 border collies

Dont worry , I havent gone and got another dog , lol , this is my lot and a friend of theirs playing in the field

Just some pics from todays walk ... what else , lol

I especially love the pic of Teddy's dilemma ... he has his flying squirrel in his mouth , but a tennis ball is hurtling towards him , should he drop the squirrel and catch the ball or get out of the way of the ball ?
decisions , decisions , lol

Dirty Boy

Toffees walk today was a little wet and muddy , but do you think he cared (he did when he was made to get a bath , lol)

Balls , Frisbees and Squirrels ... Oh My

Today each dog seemed to have their favourite toy out on the field with them
Gypsy had her Tennis ball ... Toffee had his new blue frisbee & Teddy had his flying squirrel

OMG both his ears can stand upright , lol

All he needs is a cape , lol
