Chance: Up North

Of course I got to go along Up North, Miney (that is short for Hermione) lives there. I practically know the way..it is a really good two hour nap in the car. After two hours I get anxious and start to drool.. I know once we go over the railroad tracks we are almost there. Then I start to whine..Miney must hear me coming, she meets me at the door, we are best friends.

Miney has it pretty good for a "town" dog, she has a doggie door and a fenced yard. She also has a Football Field.. perfect for herding a ball. We take turns, I am a gentleman and always let her have a turn first.

I think Miney may be putting on some weight, but we don't want to say anything..maybe she is just a little extra fluffy. She is a beautiful fluffy anyway.

When she gets tired we have to wait until she gets rested up. Far Guy says "Poor Miney, you don't have to run every time." But she does..I am a Border Collie..so I wait and rest during her turn. I am pretty smart.

See everyone is resting, at least she didn't take her ball and go home. My Sister says that sometimes she just takes her ball and goes home when she is too tired to play.

I got the ball now..my turn!! I am so happy!

Anticipation..when and where will he throw that ball next.. is it my turn or not? I had a ball playing ball on that football field. It was perfectly mowed, there are no trees or rocks to run into..and no brush for the ball to get lost in. Miney was a gracious hostess, she shared her food bowl and water dish, however she did fall asleep in a heap against the wall a few times.. my sister said "Look at Miney.. Chance, you have exhausted her." :)
