Guess what happened exactly six years ago today??? I was born!
Betcha didn’t know that..well neither did Far Guy or Far Side until I picked out Far Guy the day after Christmas in 2004. 
Okay! You can all say AWWWW all together now..I was really cute!!
Fast forward six years…One of my favorite games next to playing ball is jumping for water in the lake..
Far Guy splashes water into the air and I try to catch it in my mouth. It is a really fun game and I like to play it until my tongue is hanging in the water. Far Side took these photographs last summer and was saving them for a special day.
I am a very happy dog. I have lots of balls in all colors, I play ball many times a day…it is my job. Border Collies need jobs! I sleep indoors every night where it is safe and warm. I get brushed and my teeth get cleaned. I chase squirrels and chipmunks out of the yard but I hardly ever bark, I am a silent stalker. If I bark either I want something or I am announcing to the neighborhood that I am outside and I am on duty and something is out there. I go on adventures almost everyday even if it is only a walk to the mailbox. My food dish is never empty, but I only eat when everyone else eats their supper..cause I am just a tad spoiled. Far Guy gives me special treats, but not too many of them because Far Side says I have a sensitive stomach. He is not allowed to sneak me any extra treats..and I do not eat table scraps..unless of course it is spaghetti squash or French fries..I bet I get some French fries today:)
Here are some of my other birthday blogs.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Chance the water loving dog. I couldn't keep my Chesapeakes out of the watereither. Baron the GSD likes to fetch and swim but runs away in terror at the sight of a garden hose
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with Chance!!!! This is the first time I have visited your blog, but it won't be the last. Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chance. I don't let Button and Barney blog because they leave mud on the keyboard, but if I had, they would have been wishing you a happy birthday too. I know your jobs are good ones and I know there is no one else out there in your family to do those jobs, so you are a very important person in that family. I enjoy your blogs and I hope you got some good doggie treats for you day.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment yesterday but we have had some internet problems. Your previous posts are as precious as this current one. It was fun to learn the story of how you claimed Far Guy - - - too precious and obviously a match that has been heaven on earth. That relationship in itself is the best gift you could receive every year!
