More herding..

And who said that deaf dogs could't herd.. It appears Louie has everything under control here.
He is so proud when he brings those sheep back to mom..
Oh and look at me! I got those sheep shivering in their hooves.

I got them..

As you can see we went herding again today. This was Callie's second time out and she did awesome. She is a natural at the "outrun" She always keeps all the goats together, covering when one decides to try and escape. Lori says she as lots of natural instincts..
Oh Lori had baby lambs. Actually one was born last night. He is all black with just a tip of white on his tail way to cute..

Look at what we got!

Look at what we got from Three Dogs and a Chick! Don't they look yummy? Each one is heart shaped and it has our names on them. Isn't that wonderful? We are all excited.. Mom says we have to wait to eat them though until Dad comes home. And guess what.. Then we are going to the lake...
We have a beautiful day today, maybe a bit windy but just perfect lake weather....

Queen Callie?

The water is getting quite low at the lake so this big piece of cement was out of the water. Callie thought she would play queen up there on it. She could see me and Louie playing near by..

Mom took this picture just before we left the lake. Isn't it a pretty sunset?

Wordless Wednesday!

Just a blur!

Now who is winning? She is pretty fast for a little girl..

Mom is sorry the picture isn't really clear but she thought it showed how the red ones really play zoomies...

Racing?

I am still the oldest and the fastest among the heeler's as you can see. Callie was off doing her own thing and didn't want to get in on the race. She would have lost anyway. You see I know because I am the biggest brother...

Bloodhounds?

There are all kinds of different smells at the lake. You never know what you might find. From fish bones to perfectly good beef or chicken bones..
We had a great time at the lake on Friday night. Of course Mom and Dad were happy since we took a nap when we got home..

Wait for us!!

Sunset at the lake!

Mom got these pictures while we were at the lake last Friday night. I was a beautiful evening as you can tell. We are hoping that when Dad gets home we will go to the lake again..

A bit of Pee-Mail

Perhaps if we tinkle on the ice it will melt faster..

Well we didn't need Callie and Louie to send this pee-mail to get the ice to melt. It is already like 51 degrees today so all the ice has pretty much disappeared accept in the shadows.. The weatherman is predicting 73 by Saturday..

Not Snow but ice in Texas!

We woke up this morning to this. Well it isn't snow but ice.. It didn't stop us from enjoying the funny white stuff. Us heeler's don't care what it is we just know it is fun to play chase in. A little bit of slipping and sliding but that adds to the fun..

Mom and Dad stayed home today to stay out of the mess that this ice has caused. Many accidents are being reported on the overpasses. The good day to just stay home and enjoy the day with us..

What are you doing Dad?

While Callie was herding the neighbors dog decided to make an appearance. A very large German Shepard, of course that little girl, thinking she was big and bad ruffled up the hair on her back and began to make this really low growl. Well in order to get her mind back on the goats Dad picked one up. Well it worked she didn't know what Dad was doing and again became interested in the goats..

Callie's first time herding!

As you can see the little girl is so proud of herself herding those sheep. At first she thought she should chase the sheep but after a few tries she got the idea.

Later she got her chance with the goats. She was really good at keeping them walking behind Dad. One tried to escape but she moved him right back over with the other ones. Everyone was so proud of how well she did.

I'm Thirsty Mom!

We went for a nice long walk while at the lake so I just had to get a bit wet to cool me off.. Mmm that water is really tasty. Maybe a bit of a fish taste to it..
Today we are off to go herd some sheep again. Lori, the trainer said she would let Callie have a try today. We aren't sure what she will do. Probably bark at them since she thinks she is so big and bad..

Evening at the lake!

We had a great time at the lake last night. The sun was just beginning to set. Mom got this picture of Callie playing by the lake.
We had like 80 degrees last night so it was a great night for playing at the lake.. Today however is a different story. The wind is blowing and it is quite cool outside..

Can I play on the computer?

Callie thinks that she should be doing the blogging. She sits up on Dad's chair checking everything out. She is really good at drinking anything that Dad leaves up there. She really thinks his coffee is great.. Louie and I never drink coffee..

I got my brush!!

Hey you guys! I got my brush come and try and get it.. She is really good at instigating. Teasing us to come and get that brush from her..

We have 80 degrees in Texas today. Hard to believe it is January.. Hope this weather holds up till the weekend..

Wordless Wednesday..

Come on let's play!

Callie is usually the one that wants to play bittie face but she wasn't to excited about playing with me. Perhaps it is because I throw her on the ground.. She usually gives up wrestling with me and goes and picks on Louie. Poor Louie he always gets picked on..

Tow-Mator?

Toph found this picture while traveling a couple of weeks ago. We thought it was pretty cool..

What's over there?

I always have to check out what is going on on the other side of the fence. There is a little biped over there that has one of those little jeeps that he drives around.. That noise just drives me crazy..
Of course the red's can't hear a thing so it doesn't seem to bother them..
We didn't make it to the lake today. It is a nice day but Toph took the Heelermobile to go shooting with his friends.. We need to have a talk with him!!

Innocent?

I think not. She is just recharging her batteries..
We better rest while she is.
We had a beautiful day to day but Mom and Dad were out so we didn't get to the lake. Mom says maybe tomorrow if it is a nice day...

I got a secret!

Those 2 are telling secrets again! I bet they are fixin to gang up on me. What do you think?
We sure hope it warms up so we can have spend some time outside tomorrow. Mom is a bit of a baby when it comes to cold weather. She doesn't like to stay out for very long..

The Blue Man!

Mom got a close up of me. Ain't I one handsome devil?
We had a chilly morning but not nearly as bad as our friends in the North. They are registering below zero temps. Hope everyone is safe and staying warm..

Flying Heeler?

Wordless Wednesday. Need we say more?

Bittie Face!!

All of us got into the action today. That Callie is getting so big that she doesn't even back down anymore. She used to cower and give up but not anymore..

What's in here Dad?

Dad brought home some sheep treats to put in the pots for this Springs planting. Mom wants to grow some onions and some tomatoes and the treats are supposed to very good fertilizer. It sure smells like treats to Callie though..

I got them Dad!

It just seemed to click for me today. The idea is to have the sheep follow Dad and for me to follow along behind. As you can see I got it. When one tries to sneak away I am to cover and bring it back. Everyone was so proud of me today. I got the gold star for the day... Oh and I didn't do the excessive barking that I usually do..

Two Reds!

We took that little monster over to Sis's last night. Man we had a quiet evening. hehe
This AM the wind is blowing and it is chilly out there. Well the people in Whitesboro called and said that is was too windy for their sheep. I guess they get skiddish in the wind. Well we are going over to Lori's later to herd her sheep without the little girl..
So we may not get to herd those skiddish sheep but we do get to herd sheep... Ya..

I'm not in your shrub Dad!

I am just laying here chewing on this stick. No where near your shrub.. Oh darn Mom caught me red heeler handed!!

Tomorrow we are off the Whitesboro, Texas. We get to herd some different sheep. Callie has to stay with Sis. Sis is excited but Callie isn't talking. We sure hope she doesn't leave any pee-mail at her apartment..

Sniffing our treasures..

One of the best things to do at the lake is to see what kind of treasures we can find. We usually find some perfectly good bones that humans have discarded. Of course there is also the occasional fish bones that Mom is not to keen on.. We don't understand the "Whew, that is gross!"
We have a beautiful day today. It is like 64 and the sun is shinning. What a great time to play zoomies in the backyard since Dad won't be home in time for the lake..

Wordless Wednesday!

Wait for me guys!!

Callie spends most of her time at the lake trying to keep up with us. Zooming around after each one of us playing bittie face. We are teaching her well. She loves the lake as much as we do..

Rin-Tin-Louie?

Check out this pose. We aren't really sure what Louie is looking at probably Callie being goofy or something. Notice he is dripping but we didn't go in the water.
Today we have a nasty rainy day with a bit of freezing rain. It would have been a good day for Mom and Dad to stay home with us again..

Look at the stick I found!

This stick just didn't want to be thrown. I tried and tried to drag it out of the water but it just kept fighting back.. Mom just stood there and laughed at me. I was so determined that this was the one...

Will you throw this Mom?

Look at what I found at the lake. You got it a flippie. Mom wouldn't throw it for me though. You know that stuff about cold water... It wasn't for lack of me trying though...
I carried that flippie around for what seemed like forever but Mom didn't give in...

Can you see us?

Callie and Louie are being silly again. I think they are stalking each other.. Mom thought it was a cute picture since Callie always has that tail up...
We had a beautiful day today but Dad had to go to work so mom was doing that boring painting thing again.

What's the plan?

Happy New Year everyone. We are getting together to try and figure out what the plan is for this coming year.. Callie has some good ideas as does Louie but I think we should go to the lake every chance we get.. And don't forget about herding that has to be on our list...
