Tay & Rondo!

Iisaw and Carol stopped by on their way down the coast to let Rondo meet a *real* pro: their border collie Tay. I forgot how much Tay would look like Rondo-- quite the resemblence! It was clear who the spaz was: Rondo spent most of the walk living up to his name and circling and barking at Tay (who was a pretty good sport about it all). The first thing they did after meeting was have a manly grass-eating contest. I think only Cody would have beaten them at this...
Tay did love digging in the sand: he would dig after a gopher, sending huge scoops of sand into the air.
Tay: diggin' machine!
Tay digging, while Rondo awaits a mouth full of sand
Rondo takes notes
Tay alertly awaits instructions while Rondo spazzes
Tay gets his orders-- he's off!
Rondo doesn't think Tay looks that fast...
...until he gets run-over by Tay!
Border collie stand-off
In other, non dog-related news, I've been reading the Bleach manga and *really* enjoying it! I feel like I'm experiencing the series for the first time again, getting all the details they weren't able to put into the anime. My only complaint is their name for Kisuka Urahara is "Hat-and-clogs". Sandalhat sounds better.
Also visited the good aquarium store and once again fantasized about a salt water tank. But...considering how much I travel, I think I'd better stick to a Betta or a shrimp-ball.
