Hello! It is me Chance! The Border Collie you know and love.
Guess what I got for Christmas? I got two things.
Give up? The first thing is a work in progress..it is a bright orange life jacket especially for dogs.
Far Guy puts it on me in the kitchen and then has Far Side holler for me to come. So I do…reluctantly. The first time I had it on..I just laid down and pretended I couldn’t get back up..the darn thing has a handle and wouldn’t ya know it Far Side grabbed the handle and raised me right on up. The life jacket is to keep me from drowning when I go kayaking with Far Guy. It was another one of Far Sides fantabulous ideas.
My other present was a new duck!
I still have my old duck..Far Side says it is pathetic looking without legs.
I like them both..and sometimes I hide them down in the couch so no one else will play with them:)
Chance, I love your ducks. Guard them closely, there are many who moght take them, given an opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSo you don't like your life vest? You look pretty good in it, though. Orange is your color. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking good in your life vest Chance. Love your toy ducks. Miggy got a toy Rabbit that squeeks. Miggy has lots of toys that squeek thanks to Papa lol ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteOh Chance... you quack me up!
ReplyDelete:)
Don't you just adore dogs!!!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your blogs,Chance. You remind me of dogs I know and love.
ReplyDeleteLove your new life jacket Chance! Now no one will worry about you when you're with them out on the big water! Do hide ducky too good, you might forget where they're at?!?!
ReplyDeleteAs for life jacket....Sterling says to tell you he feels your pain! But it is oh so much easier to swim with it!
ReplyDeleteTucker can't figure out why you'd need a life vest while yakking. He says that he yaks all the time (in fact, he's out on the porch yakking at the birds or bunnies or some sort of beasties) and he's never felt the need of something to keep him safe!
ReplyDeleteLove your new ducky!
Jake says he knows how you feel. He would barely move the first time I put a dog coat on him. He'd be happy to help you play with your duck though!
ReplyDeleteDuke says he loves your duck! The life vest, not so much, but he understands the necessity.
ReplyDeleteHehe.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Chance!
Hi Chance:
ReplyDeleteThat is a good looking new duck you have there. What is it about ducks that you like so much? Is it the color, the legs - or what? Do you like other stuffed animals just as much as ducks? Enquiring minds want to know.
I am glad that you have a life vest now. One can't be too careful when on the water.
Well Chance, you look quite handsome in your new life jacket. Kinda Coast Guardish there old pal!!
ReplyDeleteYa sure have been hard on your old duck...hopefully new duck will live a better life...with legs...Heehehehee!!!
You have a great day Chance, rompin' and playin'~~~eatin' and sleepin'!!!
:oD !!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are getting use to the life preserver. It is a good idea and you won't have to worry about getting out of the water, instant elevator lift by dad.
ReplyDeleteChance, don't let my dogs see your duck, they are terrible about tearing up stuffed toys. The first thing that goes are the eyes, and then I find stuffing all over the house.
ReplyDeleteChance, I like your life vest and ducks. You look a lot happier with the ducks though!!!
ReplyDeleteMy niece took her dog to the beach with her last week and tried the booties on him to protect from the sand. He looked a lot like Chance is acting in the life vest!!!
Yes, we do love you Chance. What's not to love. You are smart, loyal, handsome, and a great blogger. Doesn't get much better than that - well all except that little duck mishap thing. But hey, we are entitled to one mistake in life.
ReplyDeleteMy Little Buddy would love to play with you Chance. You need that life vest and it's so good of your papa to make it for you. Maybe you should make money and sell them.
ReplyDeleteNeat. Reminds of the time I encourage my GSD puppy into the deep water. Mrs T (on shore) yelled he doen't know how to swim yet. My reponse was ... he surely knows the dog paddle. :)
ReplyDeleteThose ducks wouldn't last fifteen minutes with Latte. I applaud your restraint.
ReplyDeleteDarn! That lying down thing and pretending you cannot possibly get back up usually puts a big crimp in their plans. Bummer that it has a handle. But the handle will come in very handy if you ever did fall into the lake.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Chance, but I laughed and laughed when I saw your old duck. I know you still love it and will guard it well but it is a mere shadow of its former self. LOL! I can tell you love them both. :):)
I love Chance blogs! Good dog, Chance!

So glad you will be protected while kayaking. Also glad you got a new duck....just in case something happens to old duck. Not that it will for a very long time - did'nt mean to alarm you.
ReplyDeleteAmy says she is jealous of your duck but not of your life jacket.
ReplyDeleteOh Chance - you'll need that lifejacket when you go kayaking! Love your duckie.
ReplyDeleteBoo tried that trick of laying down whenever we put the harness on him. Good thing we have laminate floors here, so he could't dig in and not let go.
ReplyDeleteChance you look good, and I bet Far Side will breath a sigh of relief at not having to worry about you falling overboard. Good idea.

Hooray - - our favorite Border Collie will not drown this summer!!! In fact, you might find you enjoy just floating around in the water while letting the life jacket keep you afloat!
