Guess what?

Callie is one year old today. As you can see she still hasn't grown into those huge ears of hers. Dad says they are big but she has no network since she is deaf.

Happy Birthday Sister!!

I got to herd sheep too!

This is me doing an awesome job herding those sheep. I was doing my fetch. Dad was in front of the sheep so you can't see him but I am right where I was supposed to be. We were practicing my outrun but it kind of confused me. I didn't know why Dad kept telling me to go out?? I was supposed to go around to the front of the sheep and turn them..

Callie is doing it!

We had a great time herding today. Callie had a go at it. As you can see she is one fast heeler! We need to get a bit more control out of her but she has really good instinct. It seemed she knew what to do better than Dad did.
We had a beautiful day. The sun was shinning and none of that nasty wind..

Water fun..

Sure wish we were at the lake today but no that nasty Mother Nature has decided to put Spring on the back burner. We have like 40 degrees out and the wind is blowing. Of course we don't mind but Mom and Dad think it is cold for some reason. Where are their fur coats?
No herding today perhaps tomorrow. We sure hope it warms up a bit or at least the wind dies down..

Louie got the stick!

Louie jacked the stick from me again. As you can see I let him have it. He thought he was somebody.. Mom laughs because he jacks it and runs way up on the beach with it and drops it. She has to chase after him to get it to throw it for me again..
It got cold here again in Texas. We have heard that the snow is blowing in other places in the US. Guess Spring really isn't in the air yet..

Whole lot of shaking going on!

That pup doesn't even wait until she gets out of the water to start shaking.. She really likes the water as you can tell..
It was rainy again today.. Still threatening more rain right now..
We have some exciting news though. We get to go herding on Saturday. Oh ya sheep. Lori got rid of all her goats but she has lots of lambs. Of course we can't herd them yet..

Wordless Wednesday!

Water sports!

Both Callie and I were after the stick. Mom thought we looked like a couple of submarines here. As you can see I got a whole body length on her. I am afraid that someday really soon she will be just as fast as I am..
It threatened rain again today but by the time mom got home we had a beautiful day. No rain for Dad's small garden..

We're flying!

The little pup is at it again.. I got it though and she doesn't have a chance..
We have kind of an overcast day today and very windy. Not sure if it will rain but it sure looks like it...

Smelling the Flowers!

It is beginning to look like Spring here in Texas. Louie found some pretty flowers to smell while we were at the lake yesterday. Of course he wasn't really smelling flowers, as he was looking for some tasty bones.. We do manage to find a few each time we are there. Of course mom follows us saying "yuck"

She's a pest!

Callie was continually trying to take the stick away from me last night. Louie just looks on waiting to see who will snatch it. She still isn't quite big enough to jack it from me though..
Not sure if we will make it to the lake today. It is really nice outside and when that is the case everyone is at the lake. Just no place for 3 wild heeler's to run.

One Wet Blue Man!

Yepper we made it to the lake when Mom got home. We were a bit disappointed at first. There was humans all over fishing.. Mom took us for a long walk trying to wear us out. Finally some of those humans left so our spot was empty. We played in the water for quite some time. Mom says mission accomplished again. We are all napping now although it is just about supper time... We promise not to close our eyes..

Callie the pest!

I went out to get the stick that mom threw and look at what the pest did! She wasn't going to let me get it.. Does anyone want this cute little pest? Don't tell mom I am trying to get rid of her!!! Ok I am just kidding. She certainly does keep things interesting..

Wordless Wednesday!

I got it!!

We had a beautiful day. We went to the lake.. As you can see we got to play in the water.. Callie is so proud she got the stick away from me. Little pest..
It sure was a nice surprise when mom came home. She got out the leashes and off we went..
Right now we are all napping. Mom says it worked. Not sure what she means by that??

What is it?

While at the lake Mom let us play in some really tall weeds. I of course saw something.. I kept running in and out of the weeds trying to find it again.. I never did find it but not for the lack of trying..
We have a beautiful day today. Finally we have some sun to dry out the backyard..
Dad is busy mowing the yard for the first time of the season. Of course we are all parked on the window seat making sure he does it right...

Who's got who?

We made it to the lake today as you can see. Louie and Callie were playing their usual game of grab the lease only Callie and Louie both have Callie's leash..
We had a bit of excitement while we were working our way to our favorite spot on the other side of the dam. Louie and Callie went ahead and they spotted a little boy and his dad. Well the little boy decided to run when he saw them and of course they thought he wanted to play. Mom quickly yelled at the kid not to run. What good would it do for mom to yell at the 2 deaf reds.. I had a good sniff of their tackle box and left a little pee-mail. Mom quickly gathered us all up and left.. Sure hope that little bi-ped didn't leave any pee-mail of his won..

On wet pup!

Mom got this picture of Callie after she had been playing in the water. She looks like she is trying to think of what to do next.. Perhaps jack my stick again? Now that is one wet dog..

Bird hunting!

Mom look at the bird! Can we take him home? Hey you reds you have to catch him first! We tried are hardest to catch that bird but he was just to fast. He had an advantage, he could fly. Heeler's don't fly..
We are on our 3rd day of rain today. Dad the house husband has been trying to clean the floor all day but he finally just gave up.. To many heeler footprints.

Who's got the stick now?

See how deep in the water I am? Those reds won't dare come out this far. They just stand in the shallow water and wait for me. They are both pests..

Wordless Wednesday!

Finally a front shot!

This is the same hill I was going down when Mom took that nasty butt shot of me. Don't you like this one a lot better? As you can see I have already been swimming. I am a bit damp! Oh the deaf red heelers, I think I have escaped from them... They are still up on the hill trying to figure out how to get down all the rocks to where Dad is.. Dah we aren't mountain goats!

Can we go in the weeds mom?

Look at all the tall grass we found while at the lake..
There has to be some really good treasures in there. Maybe we should go get Dad and his metal detector?? Callie that metal detector won't find bones!!

Water Sports!

We got to play in the water yesterday at the lake. Same thing going on, I get the stick and the reds try to jack it from me.. Come on you two I just want to get the stick myself...

I got her!

While at the lake Callie decided to chase a few birds. Well it looked like the perfect time to play zoomies through the water to me.. She is pretty fast but I caught her.. We did manage to get a bit muddy and really wet.
We have a nice day again today. Perhaps we will get to the lake later.. Dad is still digging in the dirt hoping for some real treasure besides just coins.. Of course we don't mind anything to get to the lake.

Three Happy Heeler's!

Ya Mom got her puter back and we got to go to the lake. Mom thought this was a cute picture of all our tails! As you can see Louie is making sure that Callie stays in line..
Mom is sorry she hasn't been around to everyones blogs. She will try and get there real soon..

Well ............

Dad is still working on mom's computer, we are getting close to being up and running full speed again. Dad said something about moving 60 gigs worth of photos onto DVD's so if the repair fails Mom won't loose our baby pictures, so bare with us, Mom should have new photos tomorrow as dad said something about the lake.

Big and Bad !?!?!

No photo Tuesday

Dad hosed mom's computer again !!!

He is busy off loading all of mom's photos before he tries a repair. Hopefully tomorrow we will be back and uploading photos of our adventures !!!

Mountain dogs?

We found this nifty hill to climb on while at the lake yesterday.. We checked it for all the usually smells and I left a little bit of pee-mail there.. Nothing to exciting was found.

Almost Perfect Pets

Dad is making the post today, so go easy on him.

Dad has made an acquaintance on another forum he frequents, Mary Shafer is an author of a book called "Almost Perfect Pets."

Her book and blog revolve around folks who have adopted Special Needs or Handicapped pets. Some heart touching stories in her book, we are not sure whether to laugh or cry at times, so if you get a chance, go on over and give Mary a visit and a "HOWDY" at:

http://almostperfectpets.blogspot.com/

Thank You Mary !!!

for caring about our "fur-friends" that society has deemed "unacceptable." We need more people in the world like you !!!

I like the water!

Callie has to make sure she gets her time in the water when we are at the lake. Her favorite pastime is playing zoomies then running into the lake for a drink. Louie thinks she just has something wrong in the head. Maybe she should have been a setter?
We have a cool windy day today so it doesn't look like we will make it to the lake. Darn, maybe tomorrow...

What is it?

We always find something at the lake. Callie just couldn't figure out what I had found. There was some tasty bones under there, but I got them before she had a chance..
We didn't make it to the lake. It is trying to rain out there so we stayed home. Maybe tomorrow!

Can you see us?

We thought we would play the Bae Bae game today. Hiding at the lake.

We have 91 degrees today. It is almost as if Summer is here already. We sure hope it holds out till tomorrow so we can get to the lake after mom comes home..

Wordless Wednesday!

Mom that is embarrassing!

Mom got this picture of me at the lake and she just had to post it. Can you believe it? She got a picture of my backside!! Mom my front side is much more handsome..

How about this stick?

Mom can we take this stick home? It would look nice in the backyard!! Gus come on over here and help. We just need to get it to the truck. There is lots of room in the back..

Can I have this Stick Mom?

Louie didn't like the sticks on the beach so he decided that he should go get his own in the water. He spent quite a bit of time trying to pull this one out of the water..

Water zooming?

Callie isn't the only one that likes the water. She is trying to keep up with me as I cool my feet.. You need to be a little faster Girl!!
Oh it was beautiful at the lake last night. Just a perfect evening for playing in the water and hunting for treasures. Today although the sun is shinning it is a bit cool and that nasty wind is really blowing out there..

We got her!

Louie you hold her and I will take her down!!! We had a great time at the like tonight. As you can see we ganged up on the little pest just a bit.. It was all in fun..

Something is tasty1

Mom caught me licking my lips at the lake. I had just finished some yummy bones that some stupid human had left behind.. What is wrong with them leaving perfectly good bones behind?
Dad says when Mom gets home tomorrow we might get to go back to the lake. We sure hope it doesn't rain..

Syncronize Jump!

Callie and Louie appear to be practicing for the paw-lympics again. They both seem to be going the same way together again!
We have beautiful weather outside again. It is in the 60's and the sun is shinning. Hopefully it will hold up till this weekend and we can go to the lake again..

Ya I passed!

I went with Dad to a herding trial yesterday. This isn't a picture from yesterday but Mom thought she needed to post a picture of me with sheep since that is what I was doing. It was a very long day since I was the last one to do my run. Also I was the only Cattle dog in the competition. Well I did a great run and I passed. Woo Hoo.. The judges were really impressed with me. I did and actual controlled run! I also must point out that I was NOT on a lead in the trial..

I got her Mom!

Louie is always keeping his eyes on his sister while we are at the lake. He thinks that if he has her by the leash she won't get to far..
Dad and Gus are off doing a P.T. trial today. We are just waiting around to see how he did. We sure hope they get back soon. Don't tell Gus but we really do miss them..

Hey Wait for me!

That little girl is always off doing her own thing. Then she is busy trying to catch up. What are we going to do with her? As you can see she should have been a lab or a setter. She loves the water no mater how deep..

Three Happy Heeler's

Still looking!

We are still busy looking for Dad a job. We think that a job at the lake would be just the best. Then we can all go to work..
Well we made it to Friday. Not a big weekend planned. Mom has to work so it probably will be quite boring waiting for her to come home..

What is it?

Callie and Louie spotted some some ducks on the lake and of course being "duck dogs" NOT they thought they should chase them.. They tried but they just weren't fast enough. " Hey Callie perhaps we can find Dad a job chasing ducks?" "Louie maybe they will pay Dad to dig in the dirt? He likes doing that."

Wordless Wednesday..

I want a taste..

Dad put it down. I want to taste that goat!! Does he taste like the goat treats??

We have a cloudy day today. Warm but it is trying to muster up some rain..

The sun is setting on our fun..

Mom and Dad let us stay at the lake Friday night until the sun decided to set. We didn't mind anytime at the lake is a good time..
