I was lucky to have the camera with me to capture another ridiculous lunch-time antic. We had let the Collie sisters, Soba and Noodle, out of Kelly's Cottage to wobble around at mid-day. Noodle is the girl with the white blaze on her face; she is much more compromised than her sister, but has just as much spunk and get-up-and-go (never in a straight line, though). They are the best of friends and are always roughhousing with each other. I saw Soba start to move in on Noodle and realized she had something in mind for her sister, so I started shooting with the camera.
Sure enough, she wanted to walk right over Noodle and then finally sit down on top of her. (Rude!) But Noodle is one tough gal and managed to dump her sister off in the end.
Here's the sequence of photos … in these first few shots you can see Soba is closing in on Noodle:
In this next shot I think this look on Noodle's face says, "I just hate it when she does this to me!":
Here she seems to be saying, "Uh oh, I know what's coming next":
You can tell Soba is just delighted to have her sister right where she wants her:
And down she sits, like a hen on an egg:
But not for long, because Noodle — in one swift move — pulls herself back underneath her sister to launch the big heave-ho:
And off she goes!
Soba was quite pleased with the events but I can't say that Noodle seems to share her enthusiasm:
