They wear it well

Border Collies! You've gotta admit they look their best wet and covered in muck!! They simply wear it well! Maybe part of why they wear it so well is that usually if they're covered in mud, stock poop, bits of straw and grass it means they've been doing something they greatly enjoyed! Be it doing a job that needed to be done regardless of the weather that would keep a lesser dog sleeping in late on sofa, or a play session that took place regardless of the icky weather and terrain. Real Border Collies not just tolerate situations like that, they enjoy them. The above pictures are Gwen and Jim. Yesterday after a 4 wheeler run just around the yard, Gwen got in the stock tank to cool off then promotly had a great roll in the grass. Happy dog! The photo of Jim is from this morning. I played with them for an hour in the rain this morning. He looks so glamorous due to the wrestling matches with Ivy.
