Google Maps Photobomb and Amazing Collie Coat!

Last weekend I went down to the Irvine Animal Shelter adoption event to drop something off to the BCR group. One of the dogs at Collie rescue really caught my eye:

fascinating collie coat!

He looks like someone stuck a Lassie head onto a Samoyed body! Sweet boy, and apparently his ears/hearing and eyes/sight are just fine!

Also, while checking something on Google Maps, I discovered I managed to (sort of) photobomb the street view shot:

Somehow I managed to miss a car with the google rig strapped to the roof tooling around the street. But that's definitely me standing by my car. In a geeky way, this is almost as neat as when the satellite shot caught Frieda (my old husky) on the driveway.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Dog Know-It-All here! The collie is a lovely example of the colour phase known a "white." I had a collie when I was a 'teen who was a sable like Lassie (his name was Seaside Sunny Bonnie Prince Laddie.) They also come in tri-color and merle.

Sometimes I think I want a CHW (color-headed white) collie, and then I think about how often I have to wash my black ones. Nope nope nope.
