Took Maybee to the creek near my house this afternoon for some fun.

The smoke cleared out and we had a bluebird afternoon. She herds moving water in typical border collie fashion. When we go to a pond or lake she will fetch a toys but at the creek she’s a working girl. She came home tired…at least for the moment.

1. Thanks for the pics!

They grow up so fast! 🙂

[MontanaMama]

6. For sure!

I think she’s done growing…she’s 10 months but has been 34 lbs for at least a month. Our motto in this house is “3 plays a day keeps Maybee’s demons at bay.” So, we have three big plays a day…or two plays and a hike. It’s a must. It keeps me moving so I love it.

8. Yes!

For those approx. 10 months (in almost my entire life!) when we didn't have a dog or dogs it was much harder to motivate to hike!

MM 😀

2. My border collie, Laddie, from several years ago

loved water. Whenever we took him out for a run in the country, if there was a creek nearby, he would dive into it. We tossed sticks in and he brought them back.

We also took him to a beach on Lake Erie and he loved going into the Lake.

At home, he turned on the faucet in the tub to splash in the water.

4. Tired at least for the moment!!

Bwhaaaa!! everytime I think my Border Paxx is tired he never ceases to remind me he IS NOT!!

9. I've always had border collies my whole life.

I think I have an affinity with them. Intense focus then, squirrel! My husband would often tell our marriage counselor that I had a border collie brain….blessing and a curse to be sure.

5. Aww! She sure enjoys the water! Lil sweetie.

Nothing like swimming to get them tired out.

What a pretty setting, too. Thank you for sharing!

7. LOL!! She herds water!

[MontanaMama]

10. If it moves.

Maybee herds it. She’s 10 month old and she herds me. I’ve tripped over her with a laundry basket full of clothes more times than I can count. She can’t be in the back yard when I trim and mow the lawn because she herds that stuff too and I can’t get anything done.
