We had a tornado hit our airforce community yesterday.

I've have been dog-sitting for friends while they themselves are also displaced.

Is that Cowboy or Rexy?

Big storm here tonight - huge lightning strike just outside the house - power went out and doggies bolted to the bathroom with Winkipop hiding under the sink and Billabong sitting on the bath mat right next to her.

All systems back to normal now. Our city utilities crew are awesome - the bucket truck was here in less than 1/2 hour and power restored shortly afterwards. I never even call 'em - they just show up. :)

I'm teleworking today. I look out the window and I see this. The ONE opportunity my cattle dog would have to test out his skills and he's asleep in the crate because the dogs were bugging me by wrestling.

Ha! Winkipop is enjoying a stint in her crate due to a bit too much barking at the outside cats this morning as I was leaving!

Normally very obedient but they are known to push the envelope at times!

that's rexy.

cowboy is indifferent at best to most other dogs. want to get him a hot psycho girlfriend one third his age for christmas.

Yeah, but how often do you find cows in your front yard?!!


I was at the trainer today with Lex and he said cattle dogs are the only breed they train at 12 weeks. He said that at 6 weeks, they take them a 1/2 mile from home and the ones that find their way back are the ones they train for cattle work. I have no idea if it's true or not.

Don't know how much exposure these dogs are getting overseas but its a brilliant idea. They've been on the kiwi talkshows the last few weeks.

Well, there is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Just waiting for Summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James

Help Find The Scumbag Who Stole This Land Cruiser With A Dog Inside
Patrick George
Okay, Jalops. Time to put your crime-fighting hats on once again. This time it's not just a car owner who needs our help, but a pup named Lexy.

Over at the Pirate 4x4 forums, user heavytic reported that on Thursday night, his 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser was stolen from a South Carolina Wal-Mart parking lot. That would suck enough for anyone, but the worst part by far is that his 6-month-old German short-haired pointer Lexy was in the truck when it got stolen, and now she's gone too.

Needless to say, the OP is a wreck. He says he's filed a police report and notified his local news stations, but as of Saturday neither Lexy nor the Land Cruiser have been recovered.

I'm a dog owner myself and I can't even imagine how awful this must be. My heart goes out to you, man.

Be on the lookout for this car, folks, and hopefully this pooch will get reunited with her person sooner rather than later. And that the thief will get what's coming to him.

Thanks for the tips everyone! Help Find The Scumbag Who Stole This Land Cruiser With A Dog Inside

Went and adopted Rexy. Will post photos later.

Thanks for posting this - you beat me to it - a nice tribute to "Winston" - a most faithful companion!

CONGRATULATIONS and well done Varmint! SmileWavy

Another 2 Heeler family!

Pics are most welcome! :D

Hope Lexy is found at some point. Nothing worse than liars and thieves.

I've left my girls in the truck a few times when weather was not an issue and with windows down a few inches and I can guarantee if anyone tried to come inside the barking alone would scare them off. They don't suffer intruders! :eek:

Daisy's a beauty Art! Please give her a head scritch from the girls. :)

here she is curled up on the office couch. so far have learned that she likes to chase ravens and is scared of the snow blower. minor personality conflicts with cowboy. am working on that.

crap, bad photo.

here's what she looks like with lighting.

good looking dog!

So is his favorite toy the stuffed toy or the Labatts?;)

He has three stuffed toys (his "babies").....the Labatt can he knocked down from the rest of the recycle stuff. :)

She's a beauty! What usually happens is Rexy...the new pack member...has to fall in behind Cowboy - the Alpha.

That's the dynamic here...Billabong is Winkipop's little shadow. :)

Winkipop just cracked open 2 Pistachios and ate the nuts inside - leaving the shells.

I thought only my Cockatoo was that smart!

my aussie will do that too when i drop them by mistake. but too worried about choking hazard to make it a regular trick/treat of his. peanuts are his fav though and will eat them the same way.
