Purdy's Home Page

Hi. My name is Purdy and I'm a Border Collie. I was born in March of 2002 and adopted by Jessie in May, 2002. I live with Jessie's "Pop" until we get a place that allows dogs. I like playing chase (you have to catch me) and running around the back yard playing. I really like to go for rides in the car and for walks. Here are some pictures that Pop took of me when I was a puppy, and some of the poems that he says I wrote.

This is me with my master and best friend, Jessie

Jessie knew right away I needed my belly rubbed

Puppies get tired too
 
Here is a little of my haiku poetry
Everything is calm.
We have noisy neighbors, thus
I bark at midnight
I must defend us
from the evil little birds
I chase them away
I have many toys
Balls, and bones, and newspapers
You can't have any
I lie on my back
Knowing you need to rub me on
my cute pink belly.
I sound the alarm
the squirrels have come to kill us
Bark bark bark bark bark
I know you like it
and I really need to be
On top of the pile
There is evil here
It is underground, I know
I will dig it out
I love my frisby
but it needs to hide from Pop
I will bury it
How do they expect
me to eat my pizza with
no pepperoni
I love the parrot
sometimes it barks back at me
Can I have it now?

Here are some of the fun things my humans laugh at
Sometimes, when I'm running, I see something else I want to look at and I turn my head and run into things. I don't get hurt, but it's embarassing
I think it's fun to stick my nose all the way to the bottom of my water bowl and blow bubbles.
Sometimes, when I have my nose at the bottom of my water bowl, I like to pull my head up real fast and try to catch the water in the air.
