Collie guarding the babies **pics**

Are you sure that isn't drool at the corner of her mouth?

Could be! She does kinda 'nose' 'em and lick 'em while they're in my hands. I can't wait for a few months from now when she's asleep in the yard with little blond chickens all over her...

LOL my Lab lays outside the run with that exact same expression..... given a chance he will have chicken for dinner. Hope your dog is different!

 

[noodleroo]

Yep, she's kinda different. She is pretty well trained and knows what is 'hers' and what is 'mine'. She is 2 yrs. old and seems to love all other animals and people (so far). We had a really wonderful black lab that we had to put down last year; I'm afratid that we would have had to supervise her a little closer with the chicks, but Patsy-not so much. Just a reminder; everybody should supervise their chicks with other creatures; its just best to avoid the possibility of a tragedy.

Aww. My pit bull gets sad if I don't let him say hi to the chicks, so when I'm holding one he waits until I tell him its okay and ever so gentley he'll sniff then lick every baby chick. Just one lick each and then he's waiting for the next one. If I didn't know better I'd think he's counting them or checking that they're all there.

I'm a sucker for the baby chicks too!

Your collie deserves an award, the Lassie good-companion award!

Thank you! I'll inform her of her winning the honors when I get home! She'll be so proud...
