Watch Me While I Sit On My Sister's Head

I was lucky to have the camera with me to capture another ridiculous lunch-time antic.  We had let the Collie sisters, Soba and Noodle, out of Kelly's Cottage to wobble around at mid-day.  Noodle is the girl with the white blaze on her face; she is much more compromised than her sister, but has just as much spunk and get-up-and-go (never in a straight line, though).  They are the best of friends and are always roughhousing with each other.  I saw Soba start to move in on Noodle and realized she had something in mind for her sister, so I started shooting with the camera. 

Sure enough, she wanted to walk right over Noodle and then finally sit down on top of her.  (Rude!)  But Noodle is one tough gal and managed to dump her sister off in the end.

Here's the sequence of photos ... in these first few shots you can see Soba is closing in on Noodle:

In this next shot I think this look on Noodle's face says, "I just hate it when she does this to me!":

Here she seems to be saying, "Uh oh, I know what's coming next":

You can tell Soba is just delighted to have her sister right where she wants her:

And down she sits, like a hen on an egg:

But not for long, because Noodle -- in one swift move -- pulls herself back underneath her sister to launch the big heave-ho:

And off she goes!

Soba was quite pleased with the events but I can't say that Noodle seems to share her enthusiasm:

Seems the animals at the ranch are happy in every photo I have seen. These two are really cute. Watching them at play is a treat.

When I'm having a rough morning at work, all I need to do is come to your website. I was to the point where I felt like no one loved animals the way I do, but you guys are truly amazing! I strive to one day accomplish what you have!

Great pictures!!! and love the excitement they seem to have.

You are awesome - your love for the animals - your kindness and love - all very evident. The Holy Spirit is working within you each and every day. I wish I could send tons of donations your way but I help when I can. May God Bless you always - Nancy from California.

Enjoy your blog break, as you really deserve it. Those noodle sisters are so funny. It's great that they get along so well.
Warm hugs to all,

That's hilarious! Sibling rivalry, gotta love it!

So nice to see the sisters interact with such joy and playfulness! Ok, maybe more joy on Soba's part. Our part of the country now looks like yours -- we got a good dumping of snow in the Northeast last night. But, ours will be gone soon! I look forward to more posts when you return. Enjoy a well deserved week off.

I have the sister to these girls and she loved her brother the same way. I sure miss him. All the pups from that litter are LARGE on personality. I'm happy they have you to care for them, and they are beautiful.

I look forward to your blog every day. The antics of the animals always start out my day with a laugh and a smile!

Such playful and beautiful girls! Didn't see too much of Noodle in the photos but I know how beautiful she is.
This progression of photos were great!

Got to love the antics of these two!! Great way to start the week. You can tell these two love each other. Their coloring is so beautiful and I love Soba's tail, and they both have beautiful faces. Enjoy your Spring break!

Enjoy your week off. I'll miss the daily updates, but that's just selfishness on my part...

And that set of photos? Priceless.
