Quick Hit!

Heads up! This post comin' at ya hard and fast! My bracket is doing awesome. I started 4 for 4! Check the previous post. I'm dominating.
We just got back from a 2 mile run. Fun stuff. Bikes scare me. Is it gonna pass you? Is it gonna chase you? Is it gonna bunny hop over you? Who knows?!
Don't look now, but Alpha allowed 'the man' to invade my blog! We've partnered with 1800PetMeds to get you free shipping; and with The North Face for a flat shipping rate. Click through the banners, Alpha says I get special treats if you click through and buy stuff, SO DO IT FOR ME HOOMANS!! Momma needs a brand new pair yellows!
Guntersville State Park rocked. I chased the waves in the lake, I got to eat pieces of hamburger, I chewed through my leash, and then chewed through Alpha's kayak strap/backup leash (Don't tie me up and it won't happen, genius!). All around awesomeness. I even started to overcome my fear of things over water (docks, bridges, etc). Pics below. And click through the banners and buy stuff! Support you're favorite bloggin puppy!

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.

Are you ready for some football!!?

So I'm hanging out with Ben this week (one of Alpha's brothers) and he lives near the place he goes to learn new tricks everyday. It's the same place Alpha learned all his tricks too! I hear this strange tap-tap-rata-tat-tap every afternoon. It's very exciting, Alpha says it's a katydid and it means FOOTBALL is here. I have no idea why a grasshopper means football. ::Not katydid, CADENCE. Seriously, pay attention, or I'll make you sit everytime I say something.:: OOOhhhh that makes more sense. I'm still learning about football, but I've figured out the main goal is to get the person with the funny shaped ball (which would be MUCH more exciting if it was YELLOW) and that's a game IWANNAPLAYIWANNAPLAY!! In a related story, Alpha started play soccer again recently. It was very entertaining. He was panting more than I ever have after only 15 minutes of playtime!! And BOY did I have a hard time not chasing after that yellow they had!! Although it was white, so it wasn't completely irresistible to me. I've decided that all hooman sports involve chasing some form of my Yellow or chasing a hooman who has a Yellow!! How exciting!! So many games so little time!!

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!?!? 

Golf and FLASHBANGS

Happy Saturday hooman peoples! Alpha is going to play golf today for the first time ever. If I could laugh I would be laughing very hard. It will be very amoosing to watch.
We went to the park today!! I ranandranandran. There some fish-dogs there, so I stalked them on the bank until they came out and then I POUNCED. I took their yellow too, that made them very unhappy, so I gave it back. There was a Sandlot dog there too, I don't know what that means, it's what Alpha called him and he was BIG. And slobbery. I got muddy. Alpha made me be still when we got back so he could take away my wilderness smells. Hmph.
A few nights ago we had a FLASHBANG storm come thru. It was scary, and Alpha insisted on sitting on the balcony to take pictures. What a moron. He spent hours out there. Apparently he likes FLASHBANGS.
Time to go, hopefully we'll get our new computer soon. ::MY computer you muddy mess, you don't have any income:: FINE. YOUR computer. Didn't your mom teach you about sharing??

Dog Holiday!!

As I'm sure you all know, tomorrow (March 3rd) is What If Dogs and Cats Had Opposable Thumbs Day (check out the link on the right for a list of more doggie days). I wish they'd take the cats out of it, the vile creatures. I digress. I thought it would be fun to imagine a full day if I had thumbs. So, here we go.
My first action would be to let myself out of that den I'm in all day. It seems pretty simple, just grab the lever, lift, slide, and I'm FREEEEEEEEEE. Unfortunately, I can't reach the doorknobs, so I'll have to entertain myself indoors. That is, UNTIL I realize I'm able to open the window.. Hmm this could be fun!! But, woe is me. The window only leads to small roof/overhang type deal. But no matter, I'll sunbathe for a bit. Ok enough of that, I want to PLAY. Now which one of these drawers hides the socks? FOUND IT!! All the socks I could ever want to chew on!! Yippee!! Oh boy, now I found the container of Yellows! Off with your lid! Yellows for everyone!!
Uhoh, I hear Alpha's transport vehicle, back to my den and close the door! Ha, I'm so sneaky. What's that? You want to put my leash on? I don't think so! Unclip that bugger once we're outside and it's OFF TO THE RACES!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Ok now I'm hungry, the foods in the pantry (another doorknob I can't reach), back to Alpha for some kibbles. Ahhh full tummy, back in the den, Alpha leaves and it's out the window to sunbathe for a nap!! Now, about that Screaming Banshee of Death. Screw driver? Check. Hammer? Check! That thing is getting turned into scrap today!! Muahahaha! My day is complete.
My last act of the my day with opposable thumbs will be to stick my thumbs in my ears, point all my fingers straight up, and stick my tongue out at you!!
Good night!!

I'm a mini-me!!

Happy Monday Hoomans!!

I had an exciting weekend! Saturday, Alpha had to put on fancy clothes that I'm not allowed to be around (but I do anyway and act like I don't know better) and go somewhere I couldn't be, so I stayed with his litter mate Ben! That hooman has more hair than me!! I got to play with his sizable pack, I can't even remember all their names. They kicked a large version of a yellow around and I did my best to keep it from escaping.

Sunday I got to go play with ROXIE. For those of you who don't know Roxie, Alpha was her pack leader a few years ago before he moved away and wasn't able to take her. She became a part of his future aunt and uncle-in-law's (Tammy and Kipp) pack (Look at me! I used your hooman family words!) She's somewhat obsessed with flying discs... And I can see why! Those things are fun! Anywho, she looks just like me, or maybe I look just like her. She taught me a few things about flying disc chasing, I hope I can catch one as good as her one day; WOW she can fly! Here's us playing:



There's lots more pictures in my slideshow on the right; just click on it to see more!! (They're also on Alhpa's facebook page.)

Oh, that evil, demon possessed weenie dog named Koda attacked me again. He got me pretty good.. Maybe when my teeth get bigger I can get him back. Aarf! GRRR.

Weekend Update

I understand why us doggies hate mailmen; they're never on time! Alpha's energy generating wire thing for his computer still isn't here, and using this Blackberry makes me really want to eat fruit.....
The weather has been excellent for you non-fur-coated hoomans (it's always excellent for me), so Alpha took me to the park to PLAY with the HUGE pack of dogs that's always there. Some of them I was playing with were trying to drown themselves!! They would run haphazardly into the water, flail about and come back. I decided to try it once, but decided I enjoy my life of yellows and hoomans too much to commit suicide and came back.
I was finally able rid my clean scent! There was mud everywhere and I made good use of it! But it's back now, Master forced me into his indoor Drowning Pond and scrubbed all the wilderness smells off. Just wait till he takes me out again......
On a separate note I lost a tooth today. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Do I need thoseIs this normalWhy is Alpha talking about denturesAre there dog tooth fiariesWill I find treats under my bed???? I better research this....

I CAUGHT IT!!!!!

Alpha came home from his hunt to feed me and the Yellow tried to escape by flying over my head but it wasn't fast enough!! I leapt with all puppy power and snatched it right out of the air!! And the tasty blogging Blackberry device captured my heroics!! Oh boy Master was happy!! That sneaky Yellow will escape me no more!!

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.

Another Stuffing Day!!

HOORAAAY!! More stuffing is on the ground! Master doesn't have to go on his hunt! We went into the wilderness instead, he built a small, white person out of the stuffing. I crashed through it before he could take a picture. It was very fun!!
I met another pack of 2 dogs while we were there, they liked to run so I chased them and chased them until they gave up. Their master liked me, he said I saved him from having to run the energy out of them but I still have plenty of energy left!!!!!

Here are two videos of me chasing the Yellow in the stuffing:





And here is one picture of me pretending to be majestic:


On a separate note, yesterday we watched the most exciting sports event of the year: Puppy Bowl VI on Animal Planet!! It was very exciting. I wish I could have played!!

We have more fun things to do, enjoy the stuffing everyone!!

It's STUFFING!!

::I'm gonna go ahead and give you a heads up, Lilo is pretty wired right now. "stuffing" is snow. Apparently that makes her hyper. Hyper enough that she almost snagged a bird out of mid-air at the park just now. As in it flew by, she jumped, missed catching the bird but hit it and then tore off after hit. Luckily it never hit the ground or I'd be pulling feathers out of her mouth::

Alpha stayed home today! He said his hunt was canceled because of all the stuffing falling out of the sky!! But that means more fun for MMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! WEEEEEEEEEE!!!
::Runs in circles::
We went to the park! We chased Yellows!! I almost catched a bird!! I chased hoomans that were sliding down the hill! RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUUUNNNNNNNN!!!
Here is me with the Yellow.


Time to PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

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!!!
