Someone was not as good as usual on our walk today, but I get it. Nature is a HUGE distraction.

Joni and the Sheep

Years ago we took Joni on a few sheep herding sessions to see how she would take to it. As you see, she enjoyed it. We didn't continue with the lessons, though, deciding to stick with frisbees and balls instead. And now she herds cats, which is much more of a challenge. And she can do it in the house.

A very wet, muddy black and white border collie is running along in a muddy field at the front of the frame, with a group of black, brown and white sheep moving beside her. Another border collie is in the background.

This was Joni 2, our first border collie, second Joni. Make sense of that if you will. She was a special dog, kinder than most, less obsessive, more devoted than some and very obedient. And so beautiful, as you see. We lost her in October 2012. She left big shoes to fill.

Happy Monday, all.

As the summer is winding down there are still some mornings that look like this. Joni was quite young in this photograph, but the intensity never wanes.
Make it as good a day as you can!

A young black and white border collie is sitting to attention looking alert, head slightly cocked. She is looking intently to the left of the frame and surrounded by grasses and greenery in a sunny setting.

I was photographing forget-me-nots in the garden and a very young Joni followed me, standing there, full of curiosity as you can see!
Enjoy your Friday, FediFriends.

A young black and white border collie is looking at the camera with her head and ears cocked as if curious about the click of the shutter. There is green background.

apparently it is #bleptember and Bree is here for it. On the left: wet Bree mid-swimming. On the right: dry Bree mid-lying around. #dogsofmastodon #bordercolliesofMastodon #bordercollie

A black and white border collie with golden eyes faces the camera but is looking down, at the ball held by the camera person. The border collie has floofy ears, a very Sandy, diggy nose, wet fur, and a fine dusting of sand.

A black and white border collie stares at the camera, eyes lowered, ears folded. Her paws are stretched in front of her. Her tongue is partway out and she is panting gently.

Happy #Fursday everyone!

Because... everyone needs a border collie pup photo sometimes. Joni was about 3 months old in this photo and she had a brand new toy. Blue is her favourite colour (blue and yellow are the colours they see best, apparently). Have a great day/evening, friends.

A black and white border collie pup with a white streak down her nose is standing looking at us with a blue corduroy toy in her mouth. She is in front of a brick wall.

and now, about to embark on their BarkWorld Tour: presenting The Dögz. Clockwise from front left: rhythm guitar, lead guitar, keyboards, drums, and frontcollie (Bree, who lives at my place.) P/c Penny the dog hiker. #dogsofmastodon #bordercolliesofMastodon #dogs

Five dogs sit in a circle on a gravel trail at the start of their mountain hike. (We know it’s the start because the dogs are still quite clean and floofy instead of looking like mud-crusted swamp creatures.) Clockwise left to right: small brown lab-terrier mix, yawning yellow lab cross, black, brown and white Aussie shepherd x border collie, large grey Weimaraner smiling in a blue harness, black and white border collie with hysterical golden eyes and her tongue hanging out. All dogs are sitting politely.

Joni and the Frisbee

Joni's favourite game is to tease us with her frisbee (or ball or rubber ring) by standing just out of reach with it held temptingly in front of us.
For #TongueOutTuesday #JoniTheBorderCollie #BorderColliesOfMastodon #Dogs @dogsofmastodon #blep #DogsOfMastodon #Joni #StevenKPosts

A young border collie is facing us directly, with her fluffy ears up and a frisbee hanging out of her mouth. Her rather dirty tongue is holding the frisbee underneath and her eyes are teasing the viewer to take the frisbee from her.

Joni Waiting for the Blue Ball

In the field behind the house, in the evening light, the intensity of Joni's gaze as she waits for the blue ball is typically border collie.

We made it to #FidoFriday which means it's soon the weekend. And maybe some sun. Which must be good.

#JoniTheBorderCollie #BorderCollie #Dogs #Dog #BorderColliesOfMastodon @dogsofmastodon #StevenKPosts

A black and white border collie is standing in a field, facing just off centre, with her mouth open and ears up in anticipation. The light is golden.

wishing everyone the pleasure and joy of an off-leash border collie in a seaside meadow #bordercolliesofMastodon #bordercollie #dogs #Monday

A black and white border collie in a pink waterproof collar and multicoloured harness rolls joyously on patched grass before picking herself up and shaking vigorously with a sound like canvas under full sail.

my dog has been away at my fella’s place for two days. Here’s her greeting on coming home for a couple of hours. #dogsofmastodon #bordercolliesofmastodon #bordercollie #sheepdog

A black and white border collie lies on a brown and cream wool rug at the foot of a flight of stairs. She rests her head partly on the first stair and partly on the leg of a person sitting on the second stair, on whose feet she is lying. The person is wearing black shorts and jazz shoes that were London Olympics 2012 surplus and have a Union flag on them.
