Freckles is a male... (though collies are like elves, they all look like girls ;~D).

His coat coloring is called blue merle. Show people like it because it's 'different'. I like the classic lassie sable color like the new pup best, call me a traditionalist.. Lisa's other male is a mahonany-sable, and he's gorgeous too I think.

This is him.

Hello! Once again I've missed so many posts that I don't think I'll even TRY to catch up. Anything super important?

Pretty dogs! We had a collie for most of the afternoon at Friday...there's an elderly male that lives just down the road, and every so often he gets lonely and wanders up to the campus. I have a feeling he doesn't have the greatest home, just judging from the condition of his coat at times and the fact that he's loose. Granted, collie coats take a LOT of work, but...still. He found us since we were one of the few places that had the door open and people hanging around, and came in and laid down...stayed most of the afternoon being coddled and petted and then left a little before we did. The guys said sometimes when he does that they call the owner and they eventually come get him...but he wasn't doing any harm and the owners know where he goes, so we just enjoyed his company. ;-)

*sigh* Almost Monday. But I'll enjoy the evening as much as I can considering I gots ta do laundry! I have a big pot o' chili simmering on the stove and a coupla books to read while I'm waiting for it to finish and the laundry to dry, so life is pretty good.
