Trading Places

Matt and I joke that we should send Holly to work in our place and we could do dog things for a day. I can just imagine Holly sitting at my desk at work trying to figure out what in the world is going on.

Crumb Catcher

In our house, sometimes when you sit at the dining table you might feel a small amount of weight come to rest on your leg underneath the table. It's just Holly resting her chin on your thigh, letting you know that she is there, ready and waiting to clean up any stray crumbs that fall.

Comfort is an Art

Holly is a comfort connoisseur, comfort is an art form to her. She will do that circling thing dogs do on her bed for 5 minutes to get it just right to lay on. It's hilarious and adorable to watch. But when she wants to lay on the floor she will just flop down anywhere.

Moving House

This week was a big week for the Goldsworthy family - we moved! Recently we sold our first house and now we have moved in with Holly's Nanny & Poppy (Poppy is her most favourite person ever) while our new house is being built. It is a big change for Holly, as our old house was the only home she has ever known. She is settling in well at Matt's parents (who have a HUGE backyard that she loves) and will get to see her cousins even more now.

First Year

1 year ago today I published my first comic on this page, wow a year can sure go by quickly! Thanks everyone for your support over the last year, I'd especially like to thank those special people that encouraged me in the beginning, I wouldn't have done any of this without you. 

 Thank you all once again, and don't forget I put up new comics every Friday night Australian time so come back tomorrow for another new one.

Mat Hog

As you know, Holly is the Bathroom Lifeguard in our house (check out 
http://hollythecolliecartoon.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/bathroom-lifeguard.html if you don't know what I'm on about). This means that she likes to be included in all of our bathroom activities including making sure we don't get washed down the drain in the shower. She likes to lay on the bath mat and wait, and she is not a fan of giving up the bath mat when we're are done.

Plain as the Nose on Your Face

This one is a bit of a weird one...
Holly's nose is her second most commented on feature (her fur being first), and I often wonder if she likes her nose, do you think she ever wonders what it would be like to have a pug nose, or maybe a husky nose? It got me thinking. Do you remember that remember that 80's movie Roxanne, the one where Steve Martin is the fire chief with the really long nose. I watched that movie a fair few times as a kid and always loved it, it's sort of about embracing who you are. But there is a scene where he goes to the doctor's office and looks at the nose cards in the mirror, dreaming about having a "normal" nose. Collie noses are fairly unique (there are a few breeds that are similar) but there is just something about their noses that suits them perfectly.

Gotta Catch 'Em All

I think Holly is sick of walks. Matt & I both got Pokemon Go as soon as it came out and have been walking Holly a lot in an attempt to fill our Pokedex. We have loved Pokemon since we were kids, and the new game is just so much fun and is fulfilling our childhood dreams of being Pokemon masters. But I think Holly is getting a little tired of it.

Nosy Holly

Holly is a very nosy dog (both figuratively and literally), she always needs to know what is going on and what we are doing. I guess it comes naturally when you have a nose like hers.
