![tire[1]](http://starcraving.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/tire1.jpg?w=400&h=386 "tire[1]")
the muffins were so excited they went to jump through it at the same time. fortunately they are smartskies and aborted before they jumped and got stuck in there together.
“may i?”
“certainly cody bear. i insist.”
“why thank you.”

let me just preface by saying…we had agility tonight…and damn pickles was fast…faster than EVER!
11 hours ago:
i came home for lunch, like i usually do. the dogs and i jumped on the couch for our greet, like we usually do. something wasn’t right.
pickles armpits. they were…wet. they were….creamy.
what was that smell?
sunscreen
“mmm. i’ve been busy while you were at work.”
border collie puppies! in their chewing stage, no less!
…
4 hours ago….agility class:
our first run. i’m winded. doesn’t make sense. . . . i’ve been working out.
t says, “wow, pickles is moving faster than those agilty dogs at the trials. like lightening.”
it was true. about 3 weeks ago i had resigned to having the worlds slowest border collie. tonight she was burning up the agility course. apparently the lubricated doggie armpits are the key!
of course, she’s sacked out now…
not only was she fast…she was infallible.
one hour ago….
“but, is she ok?”
no worries cody bear. in 6 hours she will be recharged and ready to romp with you in the back yard.
apparently we’re recharged for agility. all three of us were fading out, but…maybe we’re back?
30 minutes ago…
“it’s on!!!”
welcome back pickles….

about bath day….
while cody bear appreciates the snuggling (with the bubbles), pickles is personally affronted! “how dare you get me wet AND take all my dirt away?”
but the joyous times afterwards! oh my! they romp around the self serve dog wash, playing…and…retail shopping. (really? your dogs…you don’t have money.)
inVIGorating!
i’m gonna get you cody bear…
now you get me!
as long as we’re here….
toys and art!….sigh
chews, treats, kibble!
seriously people. damp, the dogs don’t look like much, but trust me…cody bear is VERY plush when he’s dry…
and pickles? well….she’s never clean for more than an hour.
i’m just sayin’s all….

some of you may have heard that border collies are smart. some of you mayyyy have heard they can be difficult.
well, we had our little angel for a year or so. then, suddenly and with adorable energy, little miss pickles found her inner hooligan.
her agility teacher has called her “perfect pickles”, but last night miss picky pants was sent home early from class.
she is so stubborn. she blows me off. she sasses off to cody bear. then….she pretends to be snuggly and loving.
we’re on to her, aren’t we cody bear?
oh pickles. you’re in for a world of learnin’.

many answers to that:
1. she has been busy at work.
2. she has been busy with friends.
3. she went away for a mini-vacation with the dogs this weekend.
4. she entertained some guests.
5. she has been busy wracking her brain trying to think of something clever to say to a stranger, her new secret crush.
6. she has been struggling to handle her border collie puppy who just decided to work her stubborn streak.
7. she’s been exhausted from the heat.
8. she’s been celebrating cody bear’s good health.
9. she’s been shopping for jeans.
but things are slowing down. temporarily.
tomorrow i plan to tell you about “naughty pickles” and “cody bear’s tender belly”
