Depressed Puppies

WOW, talk about subdued dogs, I have two depressed puppies on my hand. No zooming, following Dad everywhere, continually running to the window looking for Mom & Gus, no barking when the cars go by, we have folks walking their dogs without a peep from the red's.

Dad is not use to a quiet house, and he hates it !!!

Video for our blogging friends ..............

A few more herding pictures..

Callie, Mom what are you saying. I am trying to read your lips.. Perhaps this sit isn't good enough? You want me to slow down? What is it?
Gus, Dad I am slowing down just like you said.. See I can do this...
Louie, Dad quit wagging that finger at me. I know what I am doing those sheep were trying to escape honest.. Now can we get back to work here?
Gus and Mom are off to Austin tomorrow to visit Uncle Bill and Jamie. Mom said I, the Blueman, can go along to keep her safe. We will turn the blog over to Dad for the next few days..

More Herding fun..

Gus, hey Dad can we take this one home?
Gus, Come on Dad no blocking me. I am calm... Can't you see I have them all lined up...


Louie, Is this a good enough down Dad? I am kind of bored with it..
Louie, Look I have them all moving calmly...
Callie, Wow those sheep are fast but I am faster...
Callie, Mom I am going to hide right here behind your leg. Those sheep are kind of big...
You might have to bigify this one to see the Pest peeking...

Heeler's Herding..

Callie, I got them Mom. You just wait where you are while I bring them back...
Louie showing off his lightning speed.. Here sheep, sheep..
Gus, Look Dad I am going slow..
We had a great day at herding today. All three dogs did a great job.. We are sleeping now.
Mom and Dad watched Wisconsin win over Northwestern.. We are hoping for a Rose Bowl game on New Years Day...

Zooming - Live

Mom forgot her camera, but dad had his phone, it takes two boys to keep up with this little red heeler !!!

Happy Turkey Day...

Happy Turkey Day from 3 wild Heeler's.

Wordless Wednesday...

Playing...

Gus, I see you Callie girl.. Maybe if I peek from behind the chair she won't see me...
Louie, I am just ignoring you girl.. You can tease all you want but I am not falling for it...
Here she is again trying to tease me.. What a Pest.. Go play with the Blueman and let me be..

This and that Monday...

Louie are you trying to start things today?
No lake today but the Pest managed to find a stick to chew on...
Gus rounding up the little one or is the girl rounding him up?
We have nice day today.. Probably upper 70's. That weatherman is saying cooler weather for Turkey Day. Looks like a few of you out there are in for some snow.. Oh won't that be fun..

Three Happy Heeler's..

This is the closest Mom can get to a picture with all of us.. Not to bad Mom but not all of us are looking at you!! Oh ya we aren't supposed to look.. Well the Blueman fails this time..
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.....

Instigator?

She sure looks like she is up to something.. What a mischievous look...
Callie teasing.. Come on boys lets play!!
Can you say gang up on the Pest?

Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend.....

Gus, heading her off...
Callie, are you boys ganging up on me?
Callie, Come on boys try to catch me if you can...
Gus, Run now Pest.. I am right behind you!!
Another cool day in Texas. Great day for playing zoomies in the backyard.. No frost yet but it is getting closer everyday.. 42 degrees this am..

Wordless Wednesday..

More Herding...

Callie, I am tired can we go home now. I am all worn out from chasing those sheep..
Gus, Dad move I need to head these sheep off...
Louie, you only think you are going to out run me Ms. Sheep.. I have an other gear you haven't seen yet..
We are still enjoying our cool weather. We did get a cold rain this AM but the sun is shinning more.. More great weather for zooming...

Help and scritches..

Callie, hey can I get a little help here? How am I supposed to herd sheep all tied up like this..
No worries everyone we did rescue Callie.. We in fact dropped the leash. She isn't much of a threat to those cute little sheep..
Louie, oh ya Dad that is the spot. More, more, more please...
Gus, Thanks Dad so much for taking us herding. We all had such a great time. We promise we will be good so we can come again real soon....
Mom has quite a few pictures of us herding so we sure hope no one is bored with them yet...

More herding..

Callie, Look Mom isn't this a good down and stay?
Louie, Look at me I am just one of the sheep!!!
Gus, Red's look this is how it is supposed to be done..
We thought you might enjoy a few more pictures of us Cattle Dogs working.. Mom says we need a job. We aren't sure what she means by that???

Sheep Herding Saturday!

Callie, let me at them Mom. I can do this...
Louie, I got this one Dad. You wait there and I will bring her to you...
Gus, Ok Mr. Ram you do not scare me one bit...
We had a very productive day herding today. Callie is learning to slow down a bit while working her out runs. She does have a tendency to stick to Mom like glue but zooms after the sheep when she thinks the time is right.
Louie did really good on his out run. Very slow and calm. He didn't scatter the sheep to much today... He enjoyed it every minute of this. He seemed to be smiling the entire time.
Gus, had a slight altercation with the Ram as you can see. Of course the Blueman came out ahead. Gus did awesome today. He looked like a real cattle dog bringing the sheep back when instructed to look back. He even managed to pen them out in the middle of the arena. We are so proud of all of them..
