Ollie facts!
OLLIE FACTS:
1) he is a Smooth Collie! They're like Lassie but with short hair. They still shed a LOT
2) he goes to doggy daycare twice a week and pretty much sleeps the rest of the time
3) he hansom
4) he is a HUGE CHICKEN. He's too scared to jump in the car or go down our staircase on his own
5) he LOVES LOUD NOISES. It's really weird. If a big truck goes by, or there's someone using a jackhammer, etc, he is SUPER INTO IT
6) he has a SENSITIVE STOMACH. If he eats pretty much anything other than one specific kind of dog food (a fish and rice blend) and a small amount of treats (bread, dog treats, etc) he gets awful poops. We live in the city, which means he occasionally finds STREET FOOD and it leads to PROBLEMS
7) he LOVES CATS. He does not understand why the neighborhood cats don't love him back :(
8) his feet smell like popcorn
9) we didn't realize "Ollie" was part of "collie" until several weeks after we had named him, lol
10) he loves it when other dogs come visit, but if he sees me petting any dog who is not him, he will shove them out of the way because HE is the only person who I am supposed to pet
11) sometimes he farts and startles himself

ad 5) Metal or Industrial Dawg?
Much of this is relatable but especially #11
please tell Ollie i love him!!
I was under the impression that Ollie stands for 'Oll Leg'
He farts and startles himself? So he gets fartled?
I would die for Ollie
Jeph, thank you for taking time during your vacation to share! Ollie is awesome! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and an amazing New Year!
Ollie is a dreamboat.
Great Ollie Facts. On the dietary one, my Labrador has a similar issue which appeared to be a food allergy. After multiple attempts, we found a brand made of salmon and ancient grains that had no chicken by products and no corn (not even as filler or stabilizer) and that was the magic that made him have normal poop consistency and no more goopy eyes. The downside is that it's one of the more expensive brands...but it's the price I'm willing to pay for dietary harmony.
Don't all dogs feet smell like popcorn?
I'm here for this!

<3 what a good boy! I know I am a child but I can't stop laughing at "sometimes he farts and startles himself"
12) He is a good boy <3
Very Good Boy <3
lol
The best long boi
I once had a cat whose paws smelled like ginger biscuits.
I love this long boy
I mean... Same on 11.
That is a pointyface's pointyface.
When we first met, my partner would startle at her own snores ...
Awe, what a good boy.
If your staircase is smooth (like wood or stone) many dogs get scared of that because they slip. My dog once slipped hard on our linoleum and after that he wouldn't walk on it, he needed to have rugs put in.
My dog used to slip on my (fake) wood floors and refused to walk on them without an escort (he needs to walk across a wood floor to go out to the back yard). I tried rugs, but he refused to walk on those too. Then my vet told me about toe grips (the brand I use is Dr. Buzby's). My boy hasn't slipped once since we started using toe grips and is no longer afraid of walking across the floor.
baby
We had labs! Their paws smelled like Fritos! Maybe oily snack foods is a common thread?
Hello, Ollie! Our dog is often startled by her farts, too.
Had no idea that Ollie was a smooth collie--for some reason (maybe the angle of some of his pics?) I thought that he was a greyhound or part greyhound.
Bark woof woof woof bark woof
Except for the loud noises part, you’ve described my dog too 😂 What a good boy!
Now this is the content I signed up for! :D
Always amused when my dogs would scare themselves from farts. Literally wake themselves up from a fart to a barking fit searching for what came out of their butts
My family had a dog who may have been a smooth collie. She would wake up and stare at her back end if she farted. If she farted a second time, she'd bolt. She was afraid of just about anything it was possible to be afraid of, including dolls, statues, loud sounds, soft sounds, insects, and birds. She wasn't afraid of cats though and would try to befriend them, usually unsuccessfully.
This may be my new favorite post.
Is he scared of the stairs; or whats at the bottom? 😞
1. You’ve been struck by... A smooth collie criminal 3. Yes, yes he is. 4. and 6. Are these typical of the breed? Or just to your doggo in particular? 10. "Thou shalt have no other dogs before me, for I am a jealous dog".
Hey, we named one of our cats Abby before we realized what "tabby" referred to.
What a beautiful pointi boi!
He is the best boi <3
Hey, my cat's feet also smell like popcorn
This is the best list I’ve ever read! <3 popcorn feet!
<3
Startle farts are a real thing! (our doggo does that all the time too)
Awww. Our dog Pete also gets startle farts, and his feet smell like Fritos. I love Ollie lore!
this is the deep Ollie lore that I crave
Yay! Good Doggo!
Aww yes, that's the good deep Ollie lore ...
Left the best fact until last! Well done.
<3 such a good dog. deserves all the pets.
That is adorable and absolutely made my day.
Also re #6 we discovered that random-chicken-bones-on-the-sidewalk-season started today 😒
Do you have wood/hard surface stairs? Our pupper was terrified of going down the stairs until we put little carpet treads on them
Awww, he's gorgeous! Doggos are the best.
Ollie I would commit murder on your behalf
Excellent! I see some dog things I am aware of others not. I like learning about other dogs. Dogs are the best
Friends had a mastiff. The dog was allergic to meat protein. It wasn’t pretty when he detoured from his diet. Very expensive, dog specific, rice puffs were his main diet.
Fartles himself!
OLLIE FACTS!!!!!!!!!!! 💛💛🐶💛💛
11. Fartles
I love him even more now.
#11 ONE OF US... ONE OF US...
Oh my!
I love him he's perfect
12) We all love Ollie very much, thank you.
I grew up next door to a collie who was best friends with a cat. I wonder if it's a general feature of collies?
Ollie is beautiful and sounds like a lot of fun!
That last one. 😂👏
This made my night, thank you ☺️
Our dog can only eat Just Food For Dogs...if he eats anything else it's horrible
Smooth collie. Now I'm hearing Michael Jackson in my head.
Your heart's been struck by // your heart's been hit by // a smooth collie boi :D
These are excellent facts
I feel like 11 is true for all dogs, and some people.
I know it is for me. Err, I mean, for my dog. >.>
Dog toe beans always smell like popcorn 😭❤️
For a long time, one of mine had feet that smelled like cookies,though it seems to have settled in her old age to corn chips. We still call her Cookiefoot sometimes.
You forgot fact 12; He's the goodest boy.
11 made me laugh. Hard.
And. He is a Good Boy.
You forgot: He is a very good boi!! Wonder if he and Cosmo would be friends.
As long as Jeph didn’t cheat on him and give Cosmo any pets.
