The toad..

Norwood, look what we found in our backyard.. We knew you would be proud. Louie is goofy he always has to lick the toad and then he starts drooling all over.. Mom isn't sure if he will ever learn not to mess with them..

More fun at the lake..

As you can see we had fun at the lake the other day. Sure wish we could have fun there again today..
It rained a bit today so it is not nearly as hot as usual..
Mom went to the eye doctor today and the dialed up her eyes so she promises to get around to seeing everyone tomorrow.. She isn't seeing well right now...

Mom is getting new hardwood floors put in so Wednesday we had to stay outside until it was just to hot for us. Mom put us in her room and that Louie he just wouldn't quit barking Mom said something about separation anxiety. What ever that means...
Those men made lots of noise with the sawing and the nail guns going. Of course the 2 Red's didn't hear a thing..
They will be back on Thursday for the sanding

and the first coat of sealer.. We probably will end up in Mom and Dad's room again... Friday they come for the final coat.. Then 24 hours without us walking on it. Now how is that going to work? We will have to wait and see...
Mom tried to get a picture of eat one of us on the floor but once again we were not in the posing mood...

What is she doing?

What is that brat doing now. Does she really think she can take the stick away from me? I got a close eye on her...
We didn't make it to the lake this AM.. Sis came over and her and mom went shopping and they didn't take us with them.. They went to a place called Sam's and Wally World and no treats for us...

More sharing?

Louie here, look she grabs right a hold of my head. What is up with her? I am not liking this mom..
Just wait till she lets me go I will definitely get the better of her...
Still hot here in Texas. Maybe we will have a cool front come through tomorrow? We can only hope..

Where is that stick? I think it is right here.. If I stick my head under the water maybe I can see it..
Gus: Silly girl it is right next to you!!!









Look I, the Blueman can make a really big splash. All Mom's camera picked up on was the flying water...
I can see the stick though. Unlike the little girl...Maybe Mom needs to get her glasses?
106 today on Mom's way home... Will the heat ever end?

Wordless Wednesday..

She's got my ball Mom!

Louie here, can you see that little pest stole my ball again. She even has the nerve to jump on me and show me she has my ball. Mom can you make her give it back, please? Mom I am just smiling for the camera I am NOT happy with this situation..

More herding...

It's all in the cutting.. Callie girl is on her out run turning the sheep back twards Dad. You can't see the sheep since Mom says she is so fast.. She gets away from the camera and the sheep.








This is me turning the sheep. The idea is to not let them get away. Keep them close to Dad.

Another HOT day in Texas.. Mom's bug said 103F on the way home.. Mom says Summer has only just begun so it isn't going to get any cooler any time soon...

Happy Pappy's Day Everyone!

Mom took this picture of us with Dad. Sorry that it isn't a great picture but it was the only one she could find with us and Dad.. As you can see we are good at helping Dad metal detect..
We celebrated this AM by taking Dad to the lake and letting him dig in the dirt for a while. Of course we played in the water..
Thanks for being a great Dad, Dad.. We love you.... Three Happy Heeler's and Mom

Last day of herding for the summer

Louie was really tired after his run with the sheep. Mom wanted to get a picture of his tongue hanging out.. He did really well today. Had a bit of a problem with the neighbors dog scaring the sheep on him..

I always get a lot of loving from Dad after I do my run.. My tongue is really hanging out too. It got hot really fast on us.. I really showed those sheep who was boss.

Callie girl loves her tummy rubs after her turn. She always has to grunt a bit like a pig when she gets her rubs.. She acted like an expert cutting those sheep off.

Wet dogs?

Dry puppy.. More proof that Louie is not a water dog.. As you can see he is pretty dry..

Wet Callie. Callie loves the water and is always sticking her head under looking for treasures.

Me, Gus am happy being soaking wet and shaking all over Mom..

Tomorrow we are going herding for the last time this Summer. Lori said it is getting to hot for us pups and for the sheep so we are done until the Fall. Guess that means more early morning trips to the lake... Now that doesn't break our hearts any...

Fun shakes..

Whole body shake.












Head shake with silly look!














Winking shake.

What is this?

This morning while we were out in the yard with Dad we saw this. Is it a cat? Perhaps another dog? No it has no hair on it's tail.. It was really hissing at me.. Not sure what I did to it but he didn't like it... Dad said it was a Possum. Now what kind of a name is that for a little creature like that?

Tongues

Mom caught the girl and I with our tongues out.. Maybe the lake just tasted bad? Maybe I am just sticking my tongue out at Louie. He did steal my stick as you can see..
Another really HOT day here in Texas. Mom's bug said 97F on the way home.. Seem like Summer has arrived early here..

Look what was in our yard!

Khyra look what was handing out in Mom's Oak tree yesterday while we were sitting in the window seat. Mom was a bit upset with all the barking, barking, baking going on.. Mom went outside and he didn't even move. He was posing for her.. See the little nut he has in his hands...
He was just chewing away ignoring Mom... Maybe next time Mom will let us out to show him who's frontyard it is..

A Special Day..

Mom and Dad had a date this AM.. So we were off to the lake at 7 AM. We stopped at Starbucks and away we went. This is a special day for Mom and Dad since they were married 29 years ago today.. So we thought it was appropriate to take them to the lake for fun with their favorite furkids..
I was considerate of Mom so I didn't shake right next to her but the Red's are fare game.. Louie appears to be telling me to stop and the little one just doesn't know any better so she stayed right in the line of fire..
So that is it for now. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. We hope you have many more. Oh thanks for including us on your special day...

Shaking and Roaching..

There appears to be a whole lot of shaking going on here.. I have to shake to get the water out of my ears... You have to get just the right head twist going. Make sure Mom is really close so she enjoys the water too..







The Little one likes to shake even before she gets out of the water.. Silly girl, what good does that do.. She got the head twist going too..









Of course if you are Louie you don't get very wet. Just the undercarriage so a good roach is all you need to remove the excess water...

Sharing?

There is that Louie again just sitting backing watching the show. He waits till I give up and let the little girl have the stick then he snags it..
Very hot day in Texas today.. Not quite 100+ degrees like Lorenza has been having but pretty close.. We had all that rain yesterday so it is really humid out there. Not even a place Heeler's want to be. We enjoy laying on the floor under the fan..

Thursday Thanks..

Look what we got from Daisy. We participated in her Birthday Friends Forever Contest..
We got some tennis ball, one of our favorites. The neat kong bone and some yummy sausages..
Thank you so much Daisy we are truly friends forever...

Wordless Wednesday

Louie got it..

Ya I caved. I let the big Red have the stick this time.. As you can see he isn't very wet.. He certainly does like to bring the stick to Mom though.. Doesn't he look proud of himself?

You coming Mom?

Louie is always concerned with where Mom is. The little girl and I run off and play and Louie stands and waits for Mom to catch up. He is kind of a Momma's boy.
Hot day in Texas today.. No trips to the lake. It is Monday and Mom and Dad don't have time to take us to the lake. Not that we would want to go as hot as it is..

Where's the stick?

Not only can the pest not hear but it appears she may need glasses.. Can't you see the stick? It is right here. What are you doing diving for it?
We went to the lake today but there were lots of Boy Scouts at our lake.. We had to settle for a long walk with Mom on the leash. We did see some of Khyra's squirrel friends though. Mom had to keep a tight hold on us since you know us heelers wanted to herd them or maybe just chase them..

Who is going to get it?

Gus: Ok Callie there is the stick. Now you just swim out there and get it?
Callie: No way am I going to get it. It is to deep for me..
Gus: What a Sissy girl you are.. You can stick your head underwater but you can't swim and get a stick?
Callie: Your the big brother, I will let you have it!!
Gus: Ok I got it.... You just watch and learn.

Head shots!

Louie
Gus
Callie
