Staycation!

The Boston Terrier Made of Honor decided to go out of town for awhile, so I get a mini staycation! There's supposed to be more stuffing tonight, maybe Alpha won't have to go on his hunt tomorrow and we can pay in it!! ::Lilo, you know it's called snow, you talked about it last time:: Yeah, but stuffing sounds more fun! Stuffing stuffing stuffing!!

Beta's cheeseburgerhead friend is super excited about the Packer's going to the superbowl, and I've decided to root for them because I don't want the burglars to win. ::Ok wow, that needs some translating. Beta is Ashley, cheseburgerhead friend is Cheryl, I guess cheeseburgers are more appealing than cheese, and the burglars are the Steelers (steal-ers... What a moron):: Stop infiltrating my blog you fiend!! People like deciphering my language. Go buy me some yellows, all mine are under the couch.

Snow, Alabama style!!

Hey snow hoomans!! Alabama had a blizzard this weekend. TEN FEET !!! ::Lilo, you should tell them we got ten of YOUR feet:: Ooh fine. We got about seven human inches, and it is AMAZING. Alabama has to improvise when it comes to sledding, so Alpha modified a wakeboard to be a snowboard, and he taught us how to snowyak! (That's using a kayak as a sled.) We also used a snow ramp to get a little air. As the Boston Terrier Made of a Honor says, it was totally wicked!! Alpha didn't have to go on his hunt today, and neither did Alpha #2, that's Ashley. (Alpha won't let me call her Beta, he said it's not politically correct). She had a couple major wipeouts in the kayak, only one of which was Alpha's fault. Luckily he took the brunt of the damage then. Enjoy the video of me snowyaking!

Time to cheer for the SEC. I hate Ducks, they're so taunting...

Ahh the weekend!

Happy fall hoomans!

Alpha and I were finally able to snag the computer from Ashley for a few minutes to give you an update. We found a new dog park close to our our home! There's always lots of friends there to chase. I usually end of being the one chased because I just like to run, so I tire all the other dogs out. One dog is mean and bites me, his alpha is more like a beta and doesn't have much control over him. Most dogs are nice they. Alpha is teaching me to drop what I'm doing when I hear a whistle and run to his side, I'm getting pretty good at it.
We also play hide and seek inside. I follow him everywhere, but sometimes I lose him and he hides in a dark closet until I find him. Sometimes he even scares me!

Our Boston Terrier that's made of honor ::LILO, call her Nessa, you're grasp of the English language isn't what you think it is:: FINE. I'll be BORING like you :p  Alpha and Ashley's friend NESSA (boring title, I like mine better) will be here in less than a week! This is an exciting event. I'm hearing many many fun things are planned and I can't wait!
AND Alpha's pack mate, Danel is returning from Colorado where he has been hunting prey since April! More excitement!!!! Alpha says he's been hunting prey that are under the water; water is scary! I don't go near it without my PFD. I bet we get to go hiking and camping lots more with Ben and Danel!!

Ok, time to watch more College Gameday. Why don't any teams have an Aussie mascot?? Alpha added more pics to my slideshow on the right side of my blog. Click on it to watch more!! Here's a sample:

That's me when I get myself stuck on a rock ledge.. I knew I shouldn't have been rock climbing.

Me and Ben in the mountains in Pisgah, NC! More in my slideshow!

Time for some perspective

Hello petters. My name is Koda, I'm Ashley's master. I act all cute and cuddly and she melts. I can't be resisted. I demand they feed me the good food. None of that crunchy dog stuff. Gimme the people food. That nuisance of a hair ball Lilo has invaded my domain yet again. My pack of Mo and Molly are organizing a sneak attack as we speak. Lilo's Alpha gets in the way. We must obey him, as he is the Alpha. He hypnotizes me somehow and convinces me to pretend to be dead. He finds that amusing. Someone has taken my squeaker; time to go break some knees. HEY! Step away from that bone or you'll lose that paw... I need to be pet, are you people just gonna sit around and read this or pet me? Right behind the ears please.

Left to right: Me (Koda), Molly, Mo.
Enough of this nonsense. It's time a boss dog set the record straight. We're not all excitable herding dogs. Some of us like to rule you humans.
::KODA! Get off my computer! Play dead!:: Can't.. resist.. must.. act.. dead...

I know you missed me.

I'm back hoomans!!

I would ask if you all missed me but everybody misses me when I'm gone so I won't even bother asking a question we all know the answer to. I've been staying with Ashley and BOY is she stingy with her communication devices! Something about my excessive amount of slobberiness, I'm not really sure, I wasn't listening.
I had a grand idea for this "i'm back" blog post: I would use every conceivable cliche about being back. You know, lyrics from Back in Black, screaming I'm back like the guy at the end of Independence Day, maybe even breaking into Rihanna's "Baby I'm Back" song. ::What DID you do at Ashley's? SERIOUSLY.:: 
Alpha nixed that idea. He said cliches are corny. He should know what corny is. ::I'M RIGHT HERE!!!:: HAHAHA, I made a funny.
OHOHOH I met Vanessa and she was hyper like me and i wanted to keep playing but Alpha made us stop and he called her Yankee Doodle but she said she's not a Yankee, she's a Red Sox and i LOVE the Red Sox but only when they aren't playing the Braves who are doing AWESOME right now and leading the NL East and I have a new favorite toy it's a bunny slipper that was in Ashley's garage and I took it and play with it all the time ::Seriously, take a breath:: Ok sorry. Whoa.
Anywho, I'm back with Alpha now and he leaves the World Cup on for me and it's SOOO fun. Although those vuvuzelas (definition HERE) get on my nerves. They just never stop!! ::Gee, who does THAT remind you of??:: I dunno, who? ::nevermind:: Fine, I think Australia will win. Alpha calls me a homer for that, but I don't really get it. He picked Spain to beat Portugal in the final. I think he's nuts. I hate Spaniels. They think they're so cute. They're just lazy Australian Shepherd wannabes!
Ok, that's enough for today. Here's some pictures of me more grown up now. I don't know what that crazy thing on my neck is, but it's NOT staying there. It's BLUE!! That's such a boy color. Alpha's gonna find that in my poo later. MUAHAHA.

Where is my home??

Hi hooman-woomans. Does anyone know where my home is? I'm all over the place. Alpha is in a place far, far away ::stop watching Star Wars; and I'm only in Huntsville:: and I have to stay with Ashley. Alpha's temporary den doesn't allow dogs. How absurd! So I'm stuck staying with his goofy future mate for a few weeks. She blows in my face. I'll bite her once. I keep missing. I'll bite that little stinker eventually. Like a piranha. chomp chomp.


OH OH OH! We went to Ben's play game tonight!! ::PlayOFF game, not play game:: yea yea yea. Play game sounds more fun! They wouldn't let me play :( they had a giant white version of my Yellow, all the hoomans were chasing it, and they were all getting away!!! They all needed to be in a neat little circle with the (white) Yellow in the middle, but Alpha and Ashley would not let me fix it! But on the bright side, I got to meet all kinds of hoomans! Everyone loved me (of course), I got to see the pack Alpha 's patriarch and matriarch, and his matriarch's patriach ::Can't you just say Pappaw? Or grandfather? Isn't that easier??:: Grandfather? Like the clock? No that isn't easier. I got to see Alpha's brudders, who say I'm very pretty, and his crabby sister, who seemed very pleasant to me. ::You're gonna get me in trouble!! Stop repeating what you hear from me!!:: You need some fries for your wahburger. I saw Steve (I call him the ear scratcher, he knows the right spot) and met Calub and Muhkenzeee, I didn't catch how they relate, but they love me. I saw TONS of other people and made them all pet me because they really wanted to anyway. I finally broke the leash Ashley had me on, I can't be contained!!! Alpha snagged me before I could make a break for it though. Poo.

Oh, and Ben won his play game. Doesn't everyone win when you play? I ALWAYS win when I play.

BRAVES UPDATE: They make me sad. They never score more then those other evil teams. Maybe I should go try out, I'll go get my glove.

::Sorry to anyone Lilo left out tonight, she did remarkably well remembering the ones she did. Maybe she's getting the doggie ADD under control. Doubtful, but we can all hope.::

We're MOVING!

Lot's to update you hooman people on today so I'm gonna do what I do best and run through this wide open.
Alpha got a new job in Huntsville so we're moving in a week and I get to see Ashley more and I got a new computer ::it's MY computer!!:: FINE don't slow me down! and I helped Alpha dig in the dirt and chased all the rocks he and Ashley threw away and they even hit me in the head with some because I wasn't paying attention but I didn't care because the rocks were escaping and I had to catch them and now there are other plants where they dug but I'm not allowed to eat them because they look pretty and that's no fun at all because they taste yummy and there's a new friend next door named Haley and she attacked me because I wanted to play with her Yellow but she didn't want me to but it was ok because we played in the street later when there were no cars coming and then I saw another hooman with a teeny tiny hooman with her and I went over to play with the teeny tiny hooman because she looked fun but she started making crying noises and water came out of her eyes when I jumped on her and Alpha got mad at me and put me in a time out, I hate time outs because they are not fun and you can't runrunrunrunrunrunrun and will somebody PLEEEAASSE throw my Yellow now!?!? 

Weekend Update

Happy Tuesday Hoomans! (Or Mardi Grass for you New Orleans hoomans)

Alpha and I are back from our wilderness expedition to the mountains! We went with his mate Ashley, her sire and dame, ::Lilo, the human title is parents, not sire and dame. Silly dog -Adam:: and their pack: Molly, Mo, and my evil arch nemesis: KODA. grrr.
We left after his hunt and picked up the rest of our temporary pack on Thursday, we spent 9 hours in Alpha's transport. Saying I had pent up energy is an understatement. We made it in the wee hours of the morning Friday, and I smelled a predator when we got out. It wasn't around then but I knew it had. Alpha said that's because it was hibernating. Thought tangent: How do bears sleep for MONTHS?! I'm ready to runrunrunrun after a 2 hour sleep. Tangent over.
There was LOTS of stuffing in the mountains. Most of it was near the tops, but we had some to play in and stare at (hoomans are weird are stare at it instead of eating it).
The next days the yellow escaped a few times, but I heroically captured it again for my pack leader. That night Alpha spotted some prey: deer! I wanted to catch one but I wasn't allowed too. That makes me lower my ears and make big eyes. I sniffed after them the next day just to be sure I couldn't catch up.
The hoomans left us in our dens Sunday to go to hooman only places. We protected the dwelling very well until they returned.
And just like that it was time to leave. Alpha shunned me for trying to capture prey escaping into the ground, he said something about red mud and his transport, but I wasn't listening.
The hoomans wanted to stare at more things so we went the long way back. That evil tyrant pretending to be a dog named Koda gets grumpy in the transport on long trips. Apparently I'm not allowed in his personal bubble so he attacked me and tried to take my ear for his own. Alpha rescued me and the hoomans made me feel better until I quit whimpering. I hope Koda has to meet the screaming banshee of death... While the hoomans are giving him a dunking in the white pool of water.
Alpha and I made it back safely eventually, even with all the stuffing hiding the roads from us. He's waiting on a new power thing for his computer and says he'll add pictures when it gets here. Blogging from a Blackberry is tuff. And makes me hungry.

Prey and Wilderness and Hunts!

Oh boy am I excited! This morning when Master took me out I spotted the prey in the wilderness behind our den!! Alpha did not see it so I sat still like a statue and stared it down until he did! He said that it was a fox and if that fence had not been there I would have chased it!
AND he brought me along on his daily hunt today, I am hiding in his transport vehicle so the prey does not see me.
He said we are going to the mountain wilderness in east tennysee this weekend where I can chase all kinds of prey!! I also get to see Ashley and Sef and the rest of their pack.
I am blogging from a Blackberry today, these button thingies are very difficult to push with my paws.

Alpha's computer cord exploded so he can't use it until he orders a new one, so I guess I'll have to learn this Blackberry thing.. It sounds like it would be tasty but it is not.

I will update you next week on my wilderness exploration!!!

About ME!!

Hello again dog blog readers! So my last post I told you about my pack, now it's time for ME!! I'm an Australian Shepherd, Alpha tells me it's becauz I herd Sheps.. I'm not really sure what that means. He and Ashley named me Lilo, but they say I act more like Stitch. I think they're telling me I'm mischievous...


I just wee'd on Master's floor. He is not happy with me but I love him.


He brought home some prey today from his hunt. He leaves me to hunt everyday. Most days he only brings back a Yellow.. It is always escaping from him, but I run and get it and bring it back everytime. ::Adam here, Lilo calls tennis balls "Yellows"::

He let me have the prey, and I guarded it all day long. I put it under my bed so that it would not escape. Here is a picture of the prey:

I think I was supposed to tell you about myself today... My attention span isn't very long. Pack leader needs his computer now. I will make another post next..... YELLOOOOOOOOOW!!!

Welcome!

G'day! My name is Lilo! I am an Australian Shepherd and this is my blog. I hope to update it at least once a week so that everywon can keep up with my (mis)adventures! For my first post I thought I would introduce you to everywon that I hang out with.
First of all is my Owner: Adam. I'll probably refer to him in the blog as Alpha, Pack Leader, or Master. He may occasionally interject in the blog to clarify what I mean.
Next, we have Ashley. She is the one who saved me from a barn, but then promply got rid of me by giving me to Alpha. Her loss. Everytime I see her now she getsreallyexcitedandtalksinafunnyvoiceandigetHYPER. Whoa, deep breath, Alpha is looking at me funny.... Anyway, I think she wants to have Master's puppies, she's got the hots for him.
From a the same litter as Ashley came Sef. He steps on me all the time becauz he hasn't figured out I'm always under the hoomans paws. Otherwise he's fun to sleep on.
They share their den with another pack, Molly, Mo, and Koda, that look like fuzzy hotdogs. Molly is old and cranky, and doesn't like it when I take her spot on the couch, but we get along OK. Mo is my buddy! He'll alwayz play with me (unless he's eating, he's got a big belly) and we make lots of noise that the hoomans fuss about. Koda is my nemesis. He attacks me if I get to close, and then the hoomans have to rescue me (I instigate it by taking his toys, but don't tell on me).

Welp, that's the people that I'm around most, so I'll probly talk about them in most of my posts. Please forgive all my typos, these keyboards aren't made for my paws. I'll tell you a little about myself in my next post. Time for bed!!
