Spring is in the Air - Murph, Oz and Gull Pics and Video

[ParNone]

Ah it's 80 degrees and the flowers are a-blooming, so we spent the day outside yesterday. Since it was nice and hot, I decided Murph could use a lil' bath, so I hauled out the hose. Unfortunately, I managed to plop both of us down in ants. After a few minutes of both of us doing the Texas Fire Ant Dance around the yard, as I urgently tried to spray all the ants off of us, we finished up the bath. After Murph was dry and all nice and poofy, I took a few pics. Upon review, I think I should have given him a lil' trim too. :) I told him he looks like a lil' Maltese. I got the raspberry from him for that lil' comment. ;)

Anywho, here's the pics:

Murph has observed how many treats go the Collie's way for the weave poles, so he's decided he's gonna do'em too. It's all about the hotdog, dontchaknow. :) To see Murph's version of the weaves, check out the video labeled, Murph Doing The Weaves at Music Dog Videos (http://www.musicdogvideos.com).

Also, I'm attaching an Outtake from the Murph Weave video. Oz decides to get in on the hot dog action too. And how does a Collie ask for a treat? By the nose of course. :)

Hummmm... the attachment didn't work. Let me try this, Oz Outtake (http://nothinbuttdogs.com/Spring/OzNosing.wmv)

Having spent the weekend in Houston, I can agree, you have great weather right now!! I wish we had more time, so we could have trtied to meet up with you and the pups, the weekend was very full of wedding events!!

Great pictures of the dogs! It sure looks like they are enjoying the great weather!

[RobiLee]

Woo Hoo!! I'm so happy. You know how much I love your three furkids;). Those ants sounded quite nasty but Mr. Murph sure looks handsome after his bath. Oz and Gully are gorgeous as always. Did Murph get his bit of hot dog after the weave? He did follow along quite nicely :p.

The pictures are great, Par! Thanks for making my evening :)

Great pictures I loved them all :D I also love Murph's versions of the weave poles! Oh, and I am sooo jealous of the 80 :eek: degree weather...

[Toby's my baby]

Great pictures! Your babies are adorable! I sure wish it was 80 degrees here!!

[Alysser]

:D AWESOME pictures! What amazing looking dogs. Murph is so little compared to those two very handsome smooths!

[zoomer]

Beautiful dogs! I love their names, too :) I'm a big fan myself of Smooth Collies. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of these pups!

Thanks everybody! Actually I kind of miss winter. We had tons of sunny, 70 degree days this winter. Twaz nice not being too cold or too sweaty. :)

hiya Amy! Oh I'm sorry I missed ya. We coulda gone out for Mexican or tossed some fajitas on the grill. What part of Houston were you visiting?

hola Robin! Murph did indeedy get his hot dog. He's actually getting it at the same time as Gull. It just ended up out of camera range.

Murph looks soooo adorable after his bath!! I wanna squeeze him! :D

[ParNone]

Thanks y'all!!! The weather's even better today. Not quite so hot and humid this morning. Murph sends y'all Terrier Tail Wags and the Collies send Collie Nose Nudges.

Beautiful pictures Par! Just look at little Murph's coat! :eek: Looks like he's loving the nice weather. I also particularly like the pictures of Oz and Gully by the irises (I just love Irises). And as always, enjoyed the videos!

Oh that couldn't be more true could it?! The hot dog has quite a way of hypnotizing them into doing what you want don't they;)
Ya did great Gull!

OMG! I just loved the outtake! Oz sure knows what to do doesn't he?!

Thanks so much for sharing the pictures and videos, sure made me smile!

I am so in love with your Murph. He is just the cutest little guy, and he looks sooo handsome after his bath. Good job on the weave poles, Murphy, I think you have the right idea. ;)
