A Beardie Bounce

Saturday, my friend Pat and I went to a Beardie Bounce - a party with more than a dozen Bearded Collies, hosted by another mutual friend.  The last one we attended, when puppies were involved, was two years ago.  You'll find the photos from that one here and here - and some of those same pups were at this year's event. 

Why a Bounce you may ask?  Because that is what Beardies do.  They are happy, bouncy, busy dogs who love to bounce all over the furniture and each other.
