I knew Lody, our elderly Smooth Collie, hates lawn mowers, but she still surprised me this afternoon. I was cutting the weeds in the dog run. I leave the dogs inside the house when I do this, but forgot and left open the door to the mudroom which has a dog door leading to the dog run. I saw this tri-color streak and I had barely stopped the lawn mower when Lody attacked it, biting one of the tires. She stopped attacking when I cut off the motor. Lody is usually such a laid-back dog that it made her behavior even more surprising. After I put her back in the house she kept barking until I finished.

When I run the vacuum, Rufus runs to hide in the garage for hours until he feels safe to return inside. Sydney, on the other hand, curls up to the vacuum – even while I am running it! Go figure!
Sounds like Lody taught that lawnmower a lesson!
Interesting, I was doing a search for Smooth Collies and came across Lody. I am fairly sure that she is my dog’s mother. How many tri color smooth collies in Colorado can be named Lody? How old is she now? My boy just turned 6 on Sept 11.
