Three Heeler's Wild

Sheep Herding Saturday..

2011-03-26T16:06:00.004-05:00

Louie, Look Mom put me in Jail!! Just kidding I am in the pen with the sheep...
Callie, Just resting after my turn with those sheep..
Gus, Now this is how you relax after herding!!!
Louie, I know there are sheep behind this tree...
Gus, Look I am a real sheep dog..
Gus, Mom thought this was a cool picture..
Louie, Hey I got them all..
Callie, What Mom? See how I can put my brakes on!!
Callie, I got them all Mom...
Mom here, I know we said we were done but we thought you all would enjoy some pictures of us herding. It has been really dry here in Texas as you can see from all the dust in the pictures.. The Red's did exceptional well today considering that they haven't been herding in over a month. Gus acted a little rusty. Him and that Mr. Ram were constantly trying to dual it out.. All in all we had a great day. Hopefully everyone will enjoy these. We will probably post again when we have something exciting to share..

1530 post Mom is hanging it up..

2011-03-03T15:52:00.002-06:00

Gus, enjoying the sunshine with a good roach...
Callie are you hiding in the weeds?
Louie just watching the action.
Well Mom has been posting almost everyday since 2006, 1530 posts in all. She has decided that maybe she needs a break.. Everyone has watched Louie and Callie grow up to be awesome deaf adults with great herding skills and wild antics. Gus has watched over them the entire time.
We love all of you that have followed us along the way. Thanks so much for being our friends. If you want to catch up a bit we will post a bit on Facebook's Dogs with blogs..
Mom will leave the blog up for a while if you wish to review our lives.. Thanks again for everyones wonderful comments and friendship.. I have an email address gus0003@gmail(dot)com if any of you want to stay in touch.. Who knows Mom may change her mind at sometime..

Do not look!!

2011-03-01T16:13:00.002-06:00

Callie, just enjoying this tasty stick. Mom I am not looking at you...
Louie, there has to be a squirrel in that tree. Mom do you see it?
Gus, Mom put that flashie beast away.. I am not going to look..
We have a nice sun shinny day today.. Temps in the low 70's perfect weather here in Texas..

Happy dogs..

2011-02-28T16:01:00.002-06:00

Louie is is my turn again? Gus do you need any help out there?
Callie, Mom can we go home now. I am just totally pooped out..
Gus, nothing but butts...
The heeler's thought you wouldn't mind a few more pictures of herding. The Red's are busy watching me, the Blueman showing them how it is done...

More Herding...

2011-02-27T15:11:00.003-06:00

Gus, here Mr. Ram come play with me..
Callie working her outrun... Girl your supposed to have your feet on the ground..
Louie heading off a run away... Go Louie go..
Gus is the official Mr. Ram herder these day. He appears to be the only pup that isn't afraid of the rams antics. He decided to try and head butt Gus once and Gus didn't back down since then Gus always gets the herd with that ram..

Saturday Herding

2011-02-26T16:18:00.002-06:00

Gus, I got you Mr. Ram.. I don't want to hear any complaints out of you..
Gus, How is this Dad?
Louie, Ok Dad lets talk about this. I go one way and you go the other..
Louie wanting to see just how fast that sheep is... Keep your ears back for maximum wind resistance.
Callie just happy to be out here with the sheep..
Callie ready Mom open that gate! Time to see the girl work...
We had a great day herding today. Mom says that since we are all napping now. No zoomies left in us..

Callie Caves

2011-02-24T18:47:00.001-06:00

Well, dad did it again, played the belly rub card to get the heeler's fired up and zooming.

*Sigh*

Louie Caved

2011-02-22T18:34:00.003-06:00

Yup, that is right, we were still giving Dad the silent treatment until Louie caved. But it wasn't all his fault, Dad was giving him a back rub and he couldn't help himself, just had to tuck his tail and run.

Silent treatment

2011-02-21T18:33:00.006-06:00

We are giving dad the silent treatment for trading off mom for a gallon of milk. Every time he brings out his camera to capture us zooming, we just stop and look at him as if to say "What." walk away, lay down, then stare at him with our evil eyes ................

She did it again

2011-02-20T17:12:00.003-06:00

Yep, that is right, mom went back to Vancouver, training she said, we think Dad just traded her for a gallon of milk.

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..
Louie watching the backyard.. What is there?
Gus, Blue-ing in the sunshine watching the Pest..
Callie girl, Are you watching Louie or trying to start something...
We have a lovely day today upper 70's and lots of sunshine.. Just the right weather for playing in the backyard.. Hopefully the weather will hold out all weekend long...

Helping Mom..

2011-02-17T16:16:00.007-06:00

How you help Mom work from home!
First you make sure she is on a conference call. Then you start barking, chasing your tail and playing zoomies in the house. All of this so everyone on the call can hear.
Next you make sure Mom starts yelling at the deaf dogs still while on the conference call! Dah Mom deaf dogs we don't hear you..
Then to top it all off you go to the backdoor and start barking again as if you have to go out to do your business only to go out once Mom gets up and opens the door and turn right back around as if to say "I am just kidding Mom"
After Mom hangs up from said call you do this!!

Thanks for a wonderful day Mom!!!
After this we would really like to wish Dad and Auntie Carrie a very Happy Birthday.. We can't tell you how old they are for fear being deprived of treats but lets say they are older than dirt..
Oh Dad would want us to be sure and say that Auntie Carrie is 7 minutes older than he is..

Another sunny day..

2011-02-15T15:41:00.002-06:00

Now what is the Pest doing?
Gus, A great day for roaching...
Louie, Does anyone want to play ball?
Yes we have another nice day here in Texas unlike last week. Temps in the upper 70's. A great day for playing outside..

Checking things out..

2011-02-14T15:50:00.002-06:00

Callie, These things are pretty tasty Mom. I don't understand why Dad doesn't like me eating them.
Louie, How do you like my sheep dog pose?
Gus, Mom when are we going to plant something in this garden? It must be time for something as nice as the weather is these days..
Yes Gus we are having really nice weather these days. The temps are in the 70's again today. We haven't heard what the weatherman has to say about it but we sure hope it is good...

Saturday..

2011-02-12T16:28:00.003-06:00

Callie watching the boys...

The boys checking out the neighbors yard..
As you can see all our snow is gone. It was quite warm today. Probably in the 60's. Of course along with the snow leaving comes the mud. Mom and Dad have been busy vacuuming up fur and washing the footprints off the floors.. We sure don't know were those footprints came from or that fur.. Dad also thinks he vacuumed up another heeler. Dad where did that come from. Mom says she sure is glad she has no carpet in the house..

2011-02-11T16:20:00.002-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...
What do you see little girl?
Attention Louie...
Gus such a happy boy...
Well all the snow is gone now. Good news is we are supposed to have temps in the 70's this weekend. Maybe we can have some Heeler' Time for a change...

More fun in the snow..

2011-02-10T16:11:00.003-06:00

Callie flying through the snow...
The Red's telling secrets again?
Louie getting after the Pest..
Callie demonstrating her escape move... Talk to the tail Gus..
Gus I can turn on a dime Little Girl..
It was cold this am 15 degrees but the sun has been out all day and the snow is beginning to melt now. All our fun white stuff will surely be gone tomorrow..

More Snow Wordless Wednesday..

2011-02-09T16:42:00.000-06:00

Random pic's..

2011-02-08T16:11:00.002-06:00

Callie in stalking mode.. I don't look fat do I?
Louie, I am a happy dog with my ball..
Gus, Just looking blue today..
That weatherman is still saying we will get more freezing rain tonight. 70% chance of precipitation tonight and 80% tomorrow.. Right now there is not a cloud in the sky so perhaps that weatherman is wrong. Mom has already told us she is working from home tomorrow no matter what the weatherman says. Ya mom will be home with us all day..

Looking for our snow..

2011-02-07T16:01:00.002-06:00

Gus, where did all the snow go Mom?
Callie trying to sniff it out!
Louie, it was here yesterday...
Yepper our temps warmed up so all the snow is gone. Mostly we have mud out there.. Of course the weatherman is saying more sleep on Wednesday..
We are Happy Heeler's today.. The Packer's hung in there and won the Superbowl. What a great game..

Sniffin out a Packer Win...

2011-02-06T14:48:00.004-06:00

The Heeler's are sniffing out a Packer win today. Packer's and Steeler's in Superbowl 45. GoPack from the Heeler Cheeseheads!!!

More Snow today..

2011-02-04T16:37:00.002-06:00

Callie, What is this stuff Mom? It is stuck to my nose...
Gus, I got you by the collar Pest..
The boys must see something in all this snow. Louie do you have a cold foot?
Gus, this stuff is fun to play in..
We woke to about 3 inches of snow this am and it continued most of the day.. We ended up with about 6 inches.. Now the sun is out and it all is melting away. We need to get Mom out there to play some more before it is all gone..

We still have snow..

2011-02-03T16:48:00.003-06:00

Come on Gus lets play..
Ok maybe you want to play to rough...
Louie, I just like to feel this stuff between my toes...
We had a trying day yesterday. The power went out about 7 AM and didn't come back on until 9:30. Of course they called it rolling blackouts because of all the power consumption with the freezing temperatures.. We were told that it would last about 15 minutes. Well they lied. 2.5 hours of course the temp in the house dropped to 63 degrees. Mom was bundled up in quilts and we were doing our best to keep her warm.. After the power did come on we had no cable so Mom and Dad's attempt to work from home didn't work. More blackouts occurred every few hours during the day.. The cable did not return until 10:30 last night..
Tonight we are supposed to get more snow so Mom and Dad will probably attempt to work from home again since the roads are still quite icy..

Rain, sleet, snow and COLD..

2011-02-01T16:51:00.005-06:00

Alert!! Please go to Ben the Rotti's blog and get the news on a missing boy in the UK. We need the power of the paws to help find this young man..

Louie this snow can be fun. Come on Gus run so I can chase you..
Callie always ready for a good run cold or not..
Gus, Come on Pest go for it!!
Yepper we had rain which turned into sleet about 3:00 AM. The sleet was almost like hail so us Heeler's were not so keen on that stuff hitting us while we were out trying to do our business..
Then later it turned into snow fun for us.. Of course the temps are only like 18 degree's with wind blowing about 40 to 50 mph. That weatherman say it might even be below zero in the morning. Now this is NOT Texas weather..

Zooming for Mom...

2011-01-31T16:09:00.002-06:00

Callie, look at me Mom. We sure have missed you. Sure glad you are home so we have some one to show off for..
Louie even getting into the zooming and playing.. Callie decides to let the boys play..
Now who is chasing who here?
Yepper Mom got home late on Friday night. We were so excited. Lots of jumping and wiggling..
It was nice having Dad home to ourselves but there is nothing like having Mom home to follow around..
Mom had rain almost every day she was in Vancouver. Luckily we had a nice weekend with warm temps are sunshine. Of course tomorrow we are supposed to get freezing rain. Mom has already told us she would stay home with us if that happens..

The Reds

2011-01-28T18:08:00.006-06:00

The reds were at it again, Callie making sure Louie knows she is in charge while mom is out and about.

and one final video, Dad caught on tape the illusive "big scratch, scratch" by Louie, and as always, Louie is a bit unique

Off to get mom, happy dogs tonight

Some zooming

2011-01-27T18:12:00.002-06:00

The heelers did manage some zooming today, still pretty subdued for this bunch. Louie was in the Louie zone today, not much phases him, just kind of stands or moves a bit while the world flies by ..............

Mom arrives tomorrow night, bet dad has plenty of room on his side of the bed ...........hahahahahahaha

Tail thing again

2011-01-26T17:34:00.003-06:00

Actually, Dad thinks it is part of a conspiracy,

Louie was in the corner doing his tail thing while Dad was eating, Dad was thinking "chasing the tail in the corner = catching tail / less room for the tail to get away." makes sense to him ................

quick grab the camera to document the catch !!!

HOWEVER, as Dad was moving the camera around he found Callie sneaking up on his supper, now judge for yourself, Dad doesn't think a dog in the world would like his sandmichs ............ but he doesn't know all dogs tastes.

Asta, I set this weeks video's to public but did not re-embed them in the post.

The distraction:

In an attempt to get his

Louie - Court Jester

2011-01-25T19:21:00.002-06:00

Dad learned from last night he needs to "wait" for his video to be processed, before he decides to post, he is a bit impatient at times.

Any who, Louie always seems to know when to act the "clown," never when expected, but always brings a smile to ones face. As you can see, it is the "Tail" thing again, it was "following" him ............. excuse the "lighting" it was early this morning and Dad hadn't had his coffee yet ...........

enjoy

Busy Dogs

2011-01-24T18:21:00.005-06:00

Dad was home late, does he not understand we have our needs as well !?!?!

Callie was up to her old tricks again, Dad caught part of the pestering, she thinks she is in charge after reading yesterdays comments ..................

Enjoy

Mom left us

2011-01-23T11:33:00.004-06:00

Mom is off to Vancouver again leaving us stuck with Dad.

She was pretending nothing was going on but we knew better when the backpack came out of the closet. So in attempt to guilt her into staying home, we made sure to sleep tight to her letting her know exactly what she would be missing while off on business .............

So all of our blogging friends are stuck with dad for the week, maybe a video or two coming ................

Enjoying the weather..

2011-01-22T17:53:00.001-06:00

Callie loves these kind of days.. Sunny and temps in the 50's. What a great day for zooming..
Hope everyone is having a great weekend...

Callie watching the boys..
The boys watching for those squirrels...
We had that really cool morning. 24 degrees this am but luckily no wind so it didn't feel that cold. Of course it warmed up into the 40's this afternoon so we could get a bit of watching and zooming in...

Helping Mom work from home..

2011-01-20T15:09:00.002-06:00

Louie..
Gus...
Callie..
Mom worked from home today and as you can see we were hard at work too..
Mom here this was about 7:00 this AM morning. I was busy working and the Heelers were all on the couch at the same time. Each had their own spot scoped out..
We have a cold day, 37 degree but the wind is blowing 35 mph so it feels a lot colder. There was even rain early but now the sun has decided to show its face but the wind has not quit. The weatherman says 20 degrees in the AM. That is cold for Texas..

Wordless Wednesday..

2011-01-19T16:00:00.000-06:00

Zooming fun..

2011-01-18T16:32:00.002-06:00

Gus, You better run faster little girl I am right behind you...
Callie, I can sense you back there Gus.. I am still pretty fast..
Louie just watching the show...
We have a beautiful day today. Just perfect weather for playing zoomies...

Monday Fun..

2011-01-17T15:59:00.001-06:00

Louie what a nice day we have for playing ball. Sure glad the Pest doesn't want to play I get Mom all to myself..
Hope everyone had a great Monday I sure did...

Working Hard...

2011-01-16T17:52:00.003-06:00

Callie sacked..
Gus the couch potato.
We did go herding yesterday but no picture. It was rainy and yucky out there. Mom didn't think it was good weather for her camera.. We had a great time as you can see it tired us out.. Oh Mom wasn't able to get a picture of Louie since Momma's boy sleeps in her lap...
After herding Mom and Dad watched football again. How boring can they be...

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..
Callie, she has to be up to something. Looks like attack mode to us...
Louie, just watching for Gus to make a move..
Gus, the happy dog watching the Pest and laughing to himself. Go ahead Pest make my day..
Looks like rain outside today. We have had temps in the 40's all day and overcast. Of course that weatherman is saying rain this weekend. Why can't it rain during the week?

This and that..

2011-01-13T15:45:00.003-06:00

Callie tasting the white stuff...
Mr. Cardinal enjoying the cool weather..
This is what Mom found the other day when Mom came home. Usually just one of the pillows is laying on the floor but on this day there were 2 pillows and a blanket. Mom says that Louie was having a slumber party while she was at work. To bad she didn't get a picture of him sleeping!!

2011-01-12T15:15:00.000-06:00

Not much snow left..

2011-01-11T16:01:00.002-06:00

Callie and Gus playing standoff. Who will move first?
Louie wants a little of this..
Gus trying to maintain order among the Red's..
We still have a just a little bit of snow left. We had 24 degrees this AM with lots of wind. Mom wasn't to keen on staying outside with us when she got home. Something about her not having a fur coat like us.. We did manage to play a bit of zoomies in spite of her complaints..

Still playing in the snow..

2011-01-10T16:03:00.002-06:00

Gus entertaining the Pest...
Callie zooming threw what is left of the snow... Go Callie go..
Louie still trying to figure out this cold stuff. It sure doesn't have much taste..
Yepper it is still cold out there today. The snow started to melt yesterday but the temps turned colder over the night and today so we still have some snow to play in.. To bad this stuff couldn't last a while longer..

We got snow....

2011-01-09T14:47:00.003-06:00

Louie, hey Heeler's look at this stuff..
Callie, This stuff is pretty fun...
Gus, Come on Pest chase me...
Callie, This stuff makes me fly...
Louie want to play little girl? What do you think of my snow covered coat?
Well Khyra you are going to be so jealous, we got snow today. It began with huge flake so it sure didn't take long to get our backsand the ground white.. Iit started around11:30 and now at 2:30 it is already beginning to melt off the trees. We are sure enjoying it while we can though..

Happy Dogs!!

2011-01-08T14:04:00.002-06:00

Callie..
Louie and his ball..
The Blueman...
WE have a very nice day today.. The weather is supposed to turn cold and rainy tomorrow so Mom and Dad have been out getting all their errands done this AM. Now Mom is busy watching football. It is so hard to believe that Football Season is almost over. Maybe when it is over she will spend more time with us?

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...

2011-01-07T16:10:00.003-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..
Ok who is watching who here? Callie put that tongue back in your mouth..
Louie just in the "Louie Zone" We never know what he is looking at..
We are sure glad that Friday is finally here.. This week seemed unusually long with Mom working since she spent the entire week with us last week.. Mom when can you retire with us pups...

Xooming

2011-01-06T16:13:00.002-06:00

Run girl I am after you...
Come on Louie don't you want to run a bit so I can chase you too?
We had a nice day for playing zoomies today.. Lots of sunshine and just the right temps for this.. Of course the weatherman is saying it is going to turn colder this weekend. Mom you better get your woolies ready since us heeler's really like playing zoomies in colder weather..

Wordless Wednesday..

2011-01-05T15:53:00.000-06:00

Do not look at Mom...

2011-01-04T16:16:00.001-06:00

Callie, how am I doing guys?
You are doing pretty good Pest but us boys got this all figured out..
We have a nice day today. Great day for playing in the backyard avoiding that flashie beast..

Tired pups...

2011-01-03T16:44:00.002-06:00

Callie, can we go home now Mom? I am tired of herding. It is time for my napper..
Gus, I am such a proud pup after my run but I must agree I am a bit tired...
Louie, come on you 2 I am not tired. I want to herd some more sheep..
The Heeler's did nap the rest of the afternoon after we got home from herding. Guess herding makes the Heeler's really well behaved dogs..

More herding...

2011-01-02T15:02:00.002-06:00

Gus, Are you watching Red's, this is the way you herd sheep..
Louie, Blueman I don't think I am doing to bad..
Callie, Hey boys look at me, I put them in the pen.. Mom quick shut the gate..
Kind of a boring day today. You all know this is the last week of the regular football season so Mom is being boring watching.. We are still a bit tired from all the running yesterday so we are content to lay next to her on the couch and snooze..

Herding Saturday...

2011-01-01T19:38:00.003-06:00

Gus, Mr. Ram you better get a move on. I am right on your tail....
Louie, Dad I am really confused here, how do you get those sheep over there? They sure are some sneaky ones...
Callie doing her "donkey from Shrek routine" "pick me, pick me!" Callie seems to think that jumping is much more fun than chasing sheep at times. She was a bit wound up today. We did settle her down in our second run when Lori kept her on lead to keep her from just following Mom around.
We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We had a great 2010 and we are so thankful for all our wonderful blogger friends.. Everyone be healthy and safe in the upcoming year..

2010-12-31T14:01:00.002-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...
Callie, just wondering when I can take a nap. I am so sleepy...
Louie, Trying to figure out what Gus sees or hears...
Gus on patrol for those little squirrels...
Happy New Year's Eve everyone. Everyone be safe out there..

Where's Dad?

2010-12-30T14:42:00.003-06:00

Dad where are you going? Come back here...
Gus, what are your magic ear powers telling you this time? Is Dad there?
I don't know about you 2 boys but I don't hear anything!
Dad came home early today only to leave to go to the Human Toffer Vet. Mom took us outside and away he went. How rude is that!!!

Scritches....

2010-12-28T14:32:00.001-06:00

Callie, Oh Toph that feels so good..
Louie, A bit more to the left Toph. Oh ya that is the spot...
We have a misty rain today. Nope not snow just rain. Pretty boring day. We have been doing a lot of napping on the couch...

Looking for Toph...

2010-12-27T14:54:00.002-06:00

Callie, Toph where are you?
Gus, Toph we miss you. Come back real soon...
Louie, Toph I have been trying to track you. Notice the mud on my nose?
We have a nice sunny day today. We have been checking out Toph's room but no Toph. Callie even did a bit of roaching in the bed so if he doesn't come back he will know she had been there. Just a few puppy hairs I promise Mom...

Toph and his Girl..

2010-12-26T18:29:00.001-06:00

As you can see Callie loves Toph. She was a bit upset when we came home from the airport without him. We are sure she thinks we traded Toph for beer.. he he

Merry Christmas...

2010-12-25T16:17:00.003-06:00

Merry Christmas from The Three Wild Heeler's..
Mom's Christmas present.. Thanks for coming the Texas Toph. Mom and Dad and us Heeler's love you....

Wisconsin and Mom's Christmas Surprise...

2010-12-24T18:57:00.004-06:00

Mom had a wonderful surprise today.. Brother Toph said her present would be delivered on the 24th. Well it certainly was. Well it goes like this..
First he sent a picture text of Dad's present then he sent a picture text of Mom's present. Well it was the front of the house.. Mom was so happy she cried and gave him huge hugs.. She says it was the best present she had ever gotten for Christmas.. Maybe tomorrow she will actually get a picture of Toph and us to share...
Merry Christmas Eve everyone. Mom hopes your Christmas is as good as hers..
P.S. The picture is one she downloaded off Toph's camera. MeMaw and Grandpa's farm in Wisconisn...

The First Day of Winter..

Yes this is the first day of Winter. As you can see it sure doesn't look like it in Texas...
Callie escaping from the boys. She sure has figure out how to avert the boys...
Gus, run Callie I am right behind you...
Louie is even getting into the zooming. What beautiful weather for this...

Zooming on a beautiful day..

2010-12-20T16:06:00.002-06:00

Louie roaching Callie antagonizing...
Synchronized zooming?
The boys trying to get that Pest.. My what big teeth you have little girl!!
We have a really nice day today.. Nice sunshine and 77 degrees.. The trees will think that it is Spring if the weather keeps this up...

Talk to the Tail Mom...

2010-12-19T14:59:00.002-06:00

Callie...
Gus....
Louie...
We have a pretty day today. Lots of sunshine and a nice breeze.. Mom and Dad are being boring watching Football..
Mom did get busy yesterday and made all kinds of cookies for people at work. We did get to snack on a few crumbs.. Of course Mom caught the Pest in the middle of the kitchen table cleaning up.. Yepper Mom yelled and dah the Pest didn't hear her.. Consensus is Mom's cookies are pretty yummy...

Just Enjoying the day...

2010-12-18T16:08:00.000-06:00

A good roach...
A good stick...
A great ball...

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...

2010-12-17T16:22:00.001-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...
The Louie Zone..
Checking the trees for those silly squirrels..
Keeping an eye on the boys....

Heeler's at play..

2010-12-16T16:09:00.002-06:00

Louie, leave me alone Pest.. You go play with Gus I am busy keeping an eye on the backyard..
Gus, come on Pest lets play.. Looks like a stand off to me.. You sure you aren't part cat?
We had a cool windy day today.. Lots of sunshine though..

Wordless Wednesday...

2010-12-15T16:39:00.002-06:00

More zooming fun...

2010-12-14T15:58:00.002-06:00

Callie, come on Louie lets play...
The great escape.. Look out boys I am zooming here..
Gus, I am going to get you Pest.. You better run fast.
Another nice day for zooming here in Texas. Mom got a text from Sis today, -1 degrees in Wisconsin. Luckily Sis said she had her long underwear on.. With those cool temps their 10 to 12 inches of snow is not going to go away anytime soon...

Heeler's at play on a cool day..

2010-12-13T16:53:00.002-06:00

Callie teasing again.. Come on Louie chase me...
Gus, I am going to get you little Pest..
Louie I am sure this "girl" is up to no good..
Gus, how mean you look little girl.. Those are some sharp looking teeth...
We had 32 degrees this am with no wind so it really didn't feel that cold. It was perfect weather for heeler's to play zoomies when Mom got home..

Rewards...

2010-12-12T17:48:00.004-06:00

Louie getting lots of scratches from Dad after a good session wit the sheep. Oh Dad that feels to good. Just a little bit to the right please..
Callie rewarding Gus after his last session. Quit it Pest, you are embarrassing me..

Sheep Herding Saturday..

2010-12-11T15:07:00.002-06:00

Gus, Look Mom at all the sheep I have. I got them all, no worries..
Callie, I will just stick by you Mom.. As you can see it was quite cold this am. Mom is all bundled up.. What is up with her doesn't she have her own fur coat like I do?
Louie, Mom I have the pretty white one.. She is a bit stubborn and doesn't want to stay with the herd but I will show her the right way..
Yes Mom is right it was a bit cold this am. Over cast and the wind was blowing. The weather man is saying even colder this afternoon with the lows in the 30's by tomorrow morning. Then on Sunday evening even colder with the 20's on Monday morning. Mom better get that fur coat ready...

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..

2010-12-10T16:15:00.002-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday...
Callie, Watching the boys, wondering how she can possible pester them..
Louie just sniffing out what backyard..
Gus, watching and listening for those squirrels. I know they have to be around her somewhere.

Miss Cluckie..

2010-12-09T15:59:00.002-06:00

The other day Mom came home from work to see Miss Cluckie on the other side of the street. Mom told her not to cross the street it was quite dangerous but she did. She actually came right up to Mom and let her pat on her. Mom went into the house and she actually thought she was going to follow her in.. Silly bird..
Norwood has these 2 legged birds in his neighborhood too so we thought we should share. Not sure if his Mom has ever gotten a chance to pat on them..
Now what is the Secret this time. Are they talking about Louie?
Louie, I am going to hide here behind the tree. I think there is a plot brewing against me..

Wordless Wednesday..

2010-12-08T16:49:00.000-06:00

Ball Fun..

2010-12-07T16:14:00.002-06:00

Gus, I got the ball and I am not giving it up.. Louie I see you just ignoring me..
Sorry Gus, it is my ball now..
Callie, you know if I just drop this ball here you two boys will come and chase me.. Gus, I have my eye on that ball Pest...
We have a weird day today. It was cooler this AM then the sun came out and warmed things up. Now we have overcast if we were farther North we would be sure there was snow flurries in the forecast..

Look away Monday..

2010-12-06T16:02:00.003-06:00

Callie, I am not watching you Mom.. I am trying to see what those Boy's are up to..
Louie, I am pretty good at this. I don't hear you...
Gus, Now Red's this is the proper way to look away.. You need to at least tease a bit then look away..
We have a cooler day today in Texas.. Perfect Heeler weather for zooming in the yard and NOT looking at Mom and that flashie beast..

The Pest

2010-12-05T17:05:00.002-06:00

Sure glad she is bothering Dad, we have a chance to relax, notice her eyes as she becomes the "devil dog"

Dad was playing again

2010-12-04T16:33:00.003-06:00

Yup, the pack is whole again, Callie finds out sometimes things stink.

Mom and Dad did the old "wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey" thing this morning, but when it comes to pre-washing they aren't the best .........

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..

2010-12-03T15:32:00.003-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday.....
Callie, Louie you are not going to get this ball... I am watching you...
Louie not watching the Pest....
Gus, waiting for Mom to toss the ball...
Mom and I got home about 7:30AM this AM. Yepper we left Austin about 3:30 AM. We had an uneventful ride. The Red's were pretty excited to see us. We had to play a little round of zoomies right away.. I am guessing they did miss us....

Louis

2010-12-02T18:16:00.003-06:00

Not sure what we are going to do with Louie, just something about that tail that needs to be chased. As one can see at the end of the video, Callie just hangs out wondering what is wrong with her brother .............

Typically, this is how "chase in the house" gets started, first Louie chases his tail then a full fledged hockey game breaks out. Guess the reds are still missing the blue man.

Signs of life

2010-12-01T18:08:00.002-06:00

Well, Louie tired to lighten the mood around the house this evening, a bit more of what Dad is use to seeing when he arrives home in the evening.

I think the Red's have figured out dad's phone is a flashy beast in disguise, then tend to avoid him when he pulls the box out of his pocket ............

Did hear from Mom & Gus today, everyone is doing well, looking forward to coming home and sleeping in their own bed .

Depressed Puppies

2010-11-30T18:07:00.003-06:00

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..

2010-11-29T16:44:00.002-06:00

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..

2010-11-28T16:16:00.003-06:00

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..

2010-11-27T18:00:00.002-06:00

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

2010-11-26T16:46:00.003-06:00

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

Happy Turkey Day...

2010-11-25T16:33:00.000-06:00

Playing...

2010-11-23T16:17:00.003-06:00

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...

2010-11-22T16:05:00.002-06:00

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..

2010-11-21T15:58:00.003-06:00

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?

2010-11-20T15:39:00.001-06:00

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?

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..

2010-11-19T16:13:00.002-06:00

Norwood's Eyewatch Friday..
The Red's watching each other.. Louie get a away Pest I am meditating here..
Gus, I am going to get you little girl..
Louie, I can't hear you Gus. What are you saying? I have been practicing my lip reading..
Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend.....

Zoom Zoom..

2010-11-18T16:33:00.002-06:00

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..

2010-11-17T15:57:00.000-06:00

More Herding...

2010-11-16T16:11:00.002-06:00

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...
