Playing in the Rain

When Holly was younger we had a cat named Oscar. Oscar didn't think much of Holly and kept his distance a lot of the time. I remember one rainy evening Holly was outside playing in the rain (she was around 1 year old) and Oscar was sitting at the door watching her. I imagine he was thinking that she was crazy for intentionally being out in the rain.

A Good Day

I think every day is a good day for Holly.

The Artist

Holly has a habit of using that long nose of hers as a paint brush. Every glass surface within her reach gets her artistic touch on it. The windows, the glass door, the mirror in my bedroom, even the windows in the car all end up with streaks of collie snot.

Beware of the Dog

We have a sign on our front gate saying "Beware of the dog" (I think legally we have to have it, not sure), which I sometimes think people see and assume we have a large vicious dog living in our yard. Other times people see the sign and see Holly standing up so she can see over the fence, and they see we actually have a silly fluff-ball living in our yard. She just wants to be everybody's best friend.

Origin Story: The Water Bowl

When Holly was a puppy she would always put a paw into her water bowl while she drank. It was incredibly cute and I wish she hadn't grown out of it. We always joked that she was just making sure her water bowl wasn't going to run away.

That's The Spot

Holly loves a good scratch, particularly on her butt or behind her ears. She will often push against me and angle her head so I get the exact right spot.

Two Timing

I love dogs, so when I'm out and about I will usually say hi to any dogs I meet. Whenever I get home after meeting a new canine friend, Holly feels it is necessary to give me a full all over sniff. I'm not allowed to move until she has thoroughly checked me over for this other dog's scent profile.

The Cat

Holly doesn't have much experience with cats, and there has been a cat hanging around our neighbourhood lately. She doesn't really know how to handle it, so she just barks at it until it leaves. It comes and goes when it wants and doesn't care at all that Holly barks at it.

The Bed Shark

One of Holly's many nicknames is The Bed Shark. She has gotten this nickname because of a morning she will circle our bed, trying to decide which of us need to be woken up.

Living on the Edge

This one was inspired by a picture posted in the group "Rough Collies!" a couple weeks back, it reminded me of a similar experience with Holly. No matter how big her bed is she seems to enjoy sleeping right on the edge, sometimes even with her head hanging off the edge.
