The Insanity of it All

As it gets colder our play here at the Meadow transforms.  We do much more running since we have to stay warm somehow.  I throw all the toys that get thrown and after Lad’s ball flies I run across the yard behind him with all the collies chasing me!!!  Well, today I had to stop for it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen.

In front of me was Branwen running around with her bat, Walter with his football, Lad with his ball while I was running up to them with Ginger hanging on one leg, Hallie hanging from a arm and Mick running next to me grinning like a fool and barking ceaselessly!  Then, next wasEllie clinging to Skylight who was chasing us barking loudly.  Last came Rutherford dragging a big long L branch from a tree that was three times the length of his body!!!

Then, Lad, Branwen and Walter would run back with their toys with Lad joining them and I would throw Rutherford’s limb with the others in various stages of clinging to me and barking wildly.  Then, back I would toss their toys and it would start all over again with similar results except Ginger might grab a toy and Mick also proudly carrying them to one end of the yard and back again so we could start all over again.

It was a rather weird site with you would have to admit. What made it even more funny was the looks of glee on their faces…..what a motley bunch we were to see! The funniest was coming up behind with Rutherford dragging that huge limb grinning like a fool!  Ah, just another insane day at the Meadow!  The major question is who is more insane the crazy collies inmates or the crazy human caretaker?  On second thought… dont answer that….
