I DO know how to herd!

I FINALLY GOT TO DO WHAT I'M MADE FOR! I herded!! It was awesome!! Alpha took me to his Pappaw's house, he has horses, a cow, a donkey, some chickens, etc. the cow is still a baby, and the donkey is some miniature breed. At first I just chased, but then I figured out Alpha was trying to make them go certain directions and I helped!! It was awesome. No pictures this time, it was just training and Alpha had his hands full. The donkey got bold and tried chasing me but I escaped. I can't wait to do it again!!

Alabama Tornado

It's been a crazy few days. The worst tornado outbreak in history rolled thru Alabama Wednesday. Alpha and I were lucky; the really bad ones missed us by a couple miles. It was close enough that we hid in the bathtub. I even got to wear my life jacket! Alpha thought it would give me extra protection from debris, and make me more noticeable if the worst happened. Luckily we didn't have to find out.
His hometown of cullman took a direct hit. All his family is safe, but the destruction is really bad. Him and Beta have been volunteering to help get trees off people's houses, they need more help. If you can donate food, water or time, cullman high school is volunteer headquarters. People with chainsaws are also in need.
We just found out Casting Crowns is hosting a benefit concert tonight (Sunday) at the cullman county fairgrounds at 7 pm.  IT'S FREE! They are asking for donations. Help spread the word!
Alpha also wanted to say thanks to everyone from all the country who has been sending support! It's more appreciated than you could ever know!!!
We Are Alabama!

Beware

I've discovered I have laser vision. My first act will be to melt the Screaming Banshee of Death. My second action will to burn Alpha's restraining rope. Be warned hoomans. I have my evil laser eyes set on world domination.

Rain, March Madness, Thunder

Alpha is insane. He's lost it. He took me to Monte Sano State Park Friday to camp. Fun, right? What he failed to mention was that the forecast was for THUNDERSTORMS. He said he wanted to test his rain fly for the hammock he sleeps in, I think he wants certifiable. Because there was no one else there (most hoomans DON'T camp in storms) I did get a lot of off-leash time. I spooked a pair of owls so Alpha could take their picture. They make funny noises.
Back to the storm. Alpha parked me under his hammock and rain fly. I love getting wet, but that thunder stuff? I'll pass. We stayed dry, but I finally convinced Alpha it was time to leave when the thunder got extreme around 7 am. He's starting to understand my whimpers.
In March Madness news, I've correctly picked 2 of the Final Four teams (Butler Bulldogs and UConn Huskies). My bracket is currently beating Alpha and 2.5 million other hoomans according to ESPN's Tournament Challenge. It's all about the dogs. We rule. If there were any Australian Shepherds in the tourney, they would win easily.
Oh dear, Alpha is getting out the Screaming Banshee of Death, time for me to go hide!
