There's a fluffy man in my bed

Lance's nephew, Kaz, is visiting for a week or so!

I'll never get over that white streak across his nose. It's not a natural marking. It's because he got his nose stuck in the ex-pen as a puppy and had to be rescued.

Always makes me think of this dude lol

#Kaz #rough collie #also pictured #Lance's feet lol #Kaz was my favourite puppy out of all the litters I helped with #at 8 weeks old he'd follow me around the house #and any time I stopped moving #he'd immediately sit and just watch and wait #he actually stuck around for a few more weeks after the rest of the litters left #(we had two going born two weeks apart)#cause his person needed some extra time to come get him #any time this lad got bored he'd go find a toy #then bring it back to where I was #and just sit nearby and play with it on his own #I'm so used to being around service dogs #or pets owned by experienced trainers #that when I'm around a collie owned by an average pet owner #man is the difference ever noticeably!#Kaz is a great little dude #but he's also a little neurotic #new situations aren't super comfortable for him #and he'll just pace endlessly #he charges up stairs like they're trying to eat him #things that are 100% a result of his upbringing #and not his temperament #it's just fascinating to me #what a difference exposure training can make #for instance #in creating a dog that can take new situations in stride #anyway I love this fluffy little man
