Herding Lesson #2

Oh boy, my 2nd herding lesson .

I remember this lady---her name is Susan Rhoades and she's my trainer. She's nice!

Here we go. Look Ma, no leash!

Can you tell that I'm enjoying this?

Ok----I want THAT one.

It's fun to watch the other dogs herd, too.

Oh no you don't! Come back here sheepies.

All done for today. I am kinda tired out.

Good Boy Wolf!!

Spring is in the air !!

Spring is almost here! The grass is turning green and we saw a robin and a woodchuck.

The air is still cool, but I like it like that.

Makes me want to run and play!

Now a little break from the activities.

Did someone say ball??

Here I am with my 14 year old friend Zac, who is throwing the tennis ball for me (you have to look closely to see it----follow my gaze).

Yup, Spring is just around the corner!

Fun at Pawsabilities

We spent Saturday in Harrisburg, PA. at the "Pawsabilites" show.

I had a great time with my other Shiloh buddies Willow and Adirondak. We had a Shiloh booth, and tried to be good ambassadors for our breed.

I met a lot of people and some incredible looking dogs----including 2 Great Danes that I had to look up to (I'm not used to that!).

Most folks who saw me thought I was an over-sized German Shepherd Dog, which gave Mom a chance to help educate them about Shiloh Shepherds.

After all the excitement and activity, I slept all the way home without a peep. Good time!

HERDING LESSONS

Well, today's the day I get to take some actual lessons on how to herd these sheepies.

Dad and I check out the pen.

Gotta wait my turn. If I do well, I won't let it go to my (already big) head.

I want the one with the blue spot on it!

Yep, this is definitely something I like to do. This time the instructor just let me have fun---next time we'll learn some control.

Mom's Favorite Picture

Mom says she loves this shot of me......

Why is it that the first thing a Shiloh does when he gets out in the snow is to make sure he gets some on his nose?

Blizzard of 2009

It's here, it's finally here ! Six inches of white, wonderful snow.

Nice, very nice.

Yippeee, whoo-hoo, can't get enough of it. (Mom got so excited, she accidently put this picture in twice and can't figure out how to delete it.)

Gotta rest a minute.

Yahoo! This is the life.

Winter Dreams of Woolies

It may appear that I am sleeping---but I assure you I'm not.

Nope, see--- I was just resting my eyes.

Actually, I've been just hangin' around day-dreaming.............

..... because one week from today I get to take herding lessons. Yipee---woolies.

Mom says I have to listen up real good and do what the instuctor says so I can continue to play with the sheep. Also, I'd like to get the 2nd leg of my Herding Capability Test. After that---more woolies!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day !!

Just Because.....

Mom says she's posting these new pictures of me just because. I wonder if that'll get me a yummy? A car ride? A walk in the park?

Ice is Not Nice

I think I'll hang out inside for a while. We had sleet and ice and I found out it's not like snow.

Mom says it's fun to slide around when you do it on purpose---like going ice skating. But it's not fun when you don't intend to slide. Even though I have 4 legs, it was really hard to walk. I'm back to wishing for Spring to hurry up and come!
