Collie snow day ~ 2011
I know that for many across the world snow is no big deal… probably safe to say it is pretty much a PITA,
but here in Southern California is is a treat!!!…. well the first day it is:)

Great photos!!! I love the long horizontal one towards the end. Looks like a pencil drawing I did a long time ago.
I might have to blog it.
I miss the snow in the desert. Really pretty!
Your collies are GORGEOUS. I am smitten with dalmatians, but I think one day I would enjoy owning a smooth coated collie. 🙂
Wonderful and enjoyable pictures!! Collies love snow so much and I’m glad that your gang got a chance to enjoy some! In one picture of the smooths, they look like a pack of wolves on the run!! And I see you have a couple of snow augers too!! I have one of those!!
great pictures Julie!
it is fun to see dogs that never get to see snow…..my guys are pretty much over it now 🙂
Fantastic! I love the close shot of Cole looking down, I can completely visualize him as a sweet pup with those darling puppy eyes. Do you have any Cole baby pics somewhere for me to swoon over? 🙂
Cory also looks really good – but I’m watching him! Hahaha. (Remember how he’d tackle us from behind on the rear?) Always watching! *obscure Monsters, Inc. – Pixar film – reference*
There are a few photos of that litter on my blog.

I had just started my blog so I don’t have a million photos like I do now:)
Cory is even MORE fun when he slams you in the back with wet snow feet :0
Yup… After one day i am over it too.
Thanks.. the smooths remind me of young lions when they are puppies and wolves when they are adults. I love watching all my dogs just out there running to run!
I love my Dals and the Collies are sooooooo EASY!!!!
Really enjoyed the pics…looks like they were having a blast. They seem to make a good pack.
Thanks Ray. They were having sooooo much fun! They are all very easy going and fun dogs together.
You don’t like the papillon puppy photos?? EVEN Diana (who is a bit of a Collie snob) like the Papillon puppy photos:)
they look like they are having a blast! nothing prettier than a bunch of collies running together. I agree with Diane in that one picture they look just like a pack of wolves that spotted their prey. very cool. June Bug looks like such a lady and the smooths are growing up. so pretty!
Yes Ray. You snob.
I’m not very fond of little dogs…it’s kind of a “thing” with me. However, before I got Hudson, I was on your website showing my mother Cole (Hudson’s grandpa) and she thought the Paps were the cutest things she’s ever seen. So…different strokes, for different folks, I guess. I’m glad you and Daneen enjoy them though.
I know snow’s not a huge deal in your area, but do the smoothies do okay in snow and cold weather? I think they probably have more hair than I think they do, and it’s probably a double-coat like the roughies, but comparatively I worry that they’re cold. That’s probably not true though, huh?
P.S. I wouldn’t say I’m a collie “snob,” (I have absolutely NOTHING to be snobby about) but I would say that I’m “collie-centric.” Collies are my first dogs that weren’t mixed-breed pound puppies, so it might be a “you never forget your first” kind of scenario. Though, in general, I would consider myself an all-around dog lover (as long as they’re not too small!).
heehee 🙂
It was REALLY cool watching them all run just for the sheer joy of it.
