These are the original, New Hampshire-based Mohan family dogs, Mick and Josie.
We are currently renovating the family farmhouse, and my mom, who's in the States preparing to reenter the American workforce in the fall, has been sending photos of the demolition and progress to those "remote" members of the clan. The latest set ended with these two pictures. Note the very nice birch (I think it's birch) floor in my Gram's section of the house.
This is one of the great things about our family. Any time someone's at home, pictures are taken of the dogs so the rest of us can see how they're doing. As you can tell, they're pretty content, now that the shock of moving from downstairs to upstairs has worn off.
In true Border Collie fashion, they are as smart as they are handsome. Creepily smart, actually. They can spell. We used to talk to one another about going for a walk, and the two of them would freak out and go to the door and we couldn't bear to see their disappointed faces if the plan fell through. So, we started to say "go for a W-A-L-K," but they got hip to that pretty quick. They really really like walks.
They also have jobs. Mick vigilantly looks after my grandmother and her cat. And Josie vigilantly ignores said cat. She pays close attention to Gram when toast crusts or ear-scratching is involved.
So, what do we think will happen when the smart-people-trapped-in-dogs'-bodies meet the little Chihuahua who doesn't understand fetch?
