Updates!

So, yes, I am a horrible Blogger. Just so many things always going on. Hard to keep track of Everything.
But we have been haveing some real fun lately. Lilo is coming along great in our agility training, i made a jump from PVC pipes, baught a new tunnel(Elle distroyed the old one) and this week we have been learning the weave poles with Lilo. So, yes, consider it a bussy few weeks. lol. Also, I know no one care, but I only have two days left of work and them I'm off for a whole month before we move back to Cali, yay. Just means LOTS more time for training Lilo on agility, and Elle on everything elts. lol.
And means I will have time to get my butt back into shape, going to start running again, going to the gym, and eating good food(aka NOT papa john's pizza, that where I work at the moment lol). So all exciteing news, I would think anyways.

well here are some pics...=)
She is such an amazing dog....<3

Lilo haveing a GREAT time.

Elle also gave it a go.


I have a feeling, She'll be my next star. =)
 and just some lazy dogs.... lol.....

Lilo's idea of comfertable.

Elle's idea of comfertable. lol.
Also, please check out our youtube page for some new videos recently posted. I will soon (in a week or so) have another video up of Lilo's weave work and full course work.
I must say I am soooo impressed by her weave, its only been a week sence we started working with the weave poles and she is already doing six poles in a straight line.
We learned useing the 2x2 method, which I HIGHLY recommend!

I will try my best to keep this updated as much as postible, It would be a little more motivating if I had more followers, but I guess thats just the way the cookie crumbles. But, I will still ask, Please follow, and if your on YouTube, please subscribe(most active on youtube).
Thanks!!!
Have a GREAT night all.

P.S.
Elle is now 7 months old as of Sep, 24.
and Lilo will be 2 years old on Oct, 11. =)

Today was a good day tho, got up at 7am, hubby made breakfast =), tired the dogs out a bit, and then off to work. Work was slow however and so they sent me home early, which was great cause I came home and played with my girls, hung out with the neighbor, made dinner, AND found some awesome plans to make my own agility equipment. =)
So now just have to get threw the rest of the week of work tell my only day off on Sunday, and go get all the stuff I'll need.

Oh and I think I may have found my girls new Herding Trainer, just waiting for a call back. ugh I so hate waiting. lol.

Sooo, Lilo and I have been working on her Standing up and holding it, and turning around on que, and a few more things. So tomarrow I will be hopeing to have a video made and HOPING I can get it up on our YouTube page. We will see. lol.
Elle and I have been working on Fetch! Can you believe it? I have never had such a hard time getting a dog motivated to fetch. She would much rather just herd Lilo around lol. But I did figure out how to get her interested and will being adding that to the video aswell. She is also working on her weave threw my legs and her stay. Which she is amazing at so far! =)

Well, for now that is it, it's getting late and Girls want to go for there walk now. =)

Introducing...

Well I suppose I should start this Blog off by introducing you to my two furry friends that this blog was intended for...
So first there's Lilo... Well I could probley go on forever about her, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet =). Lilo is a Border Collie/Heeler Cross, I basically rescued her when she was about 5 weeks old, almost lost her due to sickness many times as a pup, but she pulled through, and is healthy as can be now. However she is very accident prone, I wont go into details just yet but I will say our Vet knows us a little too well. he he he...
Lilo has been my P.I.C. (partner in crime) for almost two years now. I can hardly believe it. Lilo has been by my side through it all, literualy... She has taught me a lot about myself and about life. We have learned a lot of things together, includeing many cool tricks. you can check out our youtube page for the videos(link on page).


Now it's Elle's turn...

Well, Elle was basically a very well thought out and planed puppy. I just couldnt go threw all the heart aches, scares and near death experiences that I went threw with Lilo, not to mention the vet bills. So I did my research and found a wonderful lady, who just happend to have a prego Australian Shepherd. Well months later I brought her home, and her and Lilo hit it off.
Elle is still a puppy so I still have much to teach her and her teach me. Elle just hit the 5 month mark today. She is a very smart, energetic, average puppy. Although she is very smart I would like to say she is a kind of clueless-smart. lol. But she is catching on quickly to her training, and is growing like a weed.

Although, I hate to say, that Elle and I don't have that bond yet like Lilo and I. However, Lilo and I had a lot more one on one time. And I have been makeing it a point latley to have that one on one time with her. Lilo is never too happy about it, but it is something that needs to be astablished at an early age.
Elle sure is a character, she is very sweet and loveing. A very cuddly puppy for sure. She gives her all in everything she does, which I love most. Not to mention she turns head where ever we go. =)


Lilo and Elle

This bloging thing may take me some time to perfect...
But my whole idea for this blog is to keep stories about my week to week, if not day to day, life with my two wonderful dogs, Lilo and Elle.
