Tennis, Anyone?

2008-10-13T04:28:00.000-07:00

Mum brought out the big tennis ball for me to play with. Once I chased it around the big room for a while, I was able to really sink my teeth in and have a good play.

Mum says I ran around with it for ages. I was really disappointed that it didn't fit through my doggy door so I couldn't take it outside to play with on the grass.

As Mum says, it's exhausting being fabulous.

I like it when we have overnight visitors

Last week Nana and Grandad went away, so Auntie Sasa (Mum's sister) came to visit. She decided to sleep on the couch, because I'm not allowed in her room just yet.

One morning Dad woke up to find us asleep like this.

Obviously, I'm irresistable.

Notes on People Management.

I've been thinking for a while that I should open a class in Owner/People Management, seeing as how I'm an expert.

So consider this to be a free first lesson. Pay attention, fellow dogs. Owners, skip this post.

Step 1: Find parent
Step 2: Look adorable (natural to most of us)
Step 3: Roll on back next to parent's foot
Step 4: Nudge parent's foot with paw
Step 5: Lie back and enjoy.

So far, it's a runaway success with Mum. Now to train Dad...

Exercise, anyone?

2008-10-13T04:08:00.000-07:00

Last week I sprung Mum sitting at her computer again. She faces the treadmill every time she's on it, so I thought I'd remind her that the treadmill is around, and what it's used for.

Of course, being Mum, she got snap-happy.

Mum! Too many photos!

More family!

Late last month, we went to visit my other family. This is us arriving (I'm on the right) and being greeted. We had a great time visiting!

A little family advice and some kisses from my other Mum got doled out under the table. The other two girls are with us, and we had the best fun rolling around and playing on the grass.

Mum says we can go back to play again another day. I like playing with other doggies.

Nobody told me about bones before...

2008-10-13T03:39:00.000-07:00

I have to say, this rates up there as one of the best things I've ever done. Mum took me shopping a couple of weeks ago, and I was such a good dog, and wagged my tail really hard while she was in the butchers, so she got me my first bone. The nice lady at the butcher shop went out the back to get me a really special one when she heard it was the first one.

I was really excited! It tasted so good, and it's in a special hiding spot in the garden, just in case Dad gets any funny ideas about taking it away from me.

Holes!

Hi Fans!
I have lots to update you on, it's been a busy three weeks. First off, I got into a little trouble the day after my wash and pretty-up. I'd had a drink of water, and I thought I'd go into the garden and continue my escape plot by digging in the garden. Unfortunately, Dad saw me when I came inside.

So I tried the usual standby of looking cute.

Yeap, still got it. Whew!

Meeting Family

2008-10-01T06:37:00.001-07:00

I'm so famous that family is flying in from interstate to meet me! This is my cousin Philly, and she's good fun. She patted me lots, and gave me a rub, and called me cute.

Everyone thinks I'm a stud.

Grey Sweep = Excursion. Cool!

Mummy decided that I needed to visit her friend because I was getting grey. So we got into the car, sat in the car, got out of the car and were somewhere else! We went inside a door and there were dog smells everywhere. Mummy left me there for a while and I got to play with all the dogs, and someone gave me a bath and a brush. I didn't like the bath at all, but I got biscuits afterwards. I must have complained loudly enough.

Then we went back home, and Daddy got out the camera. He wasn't happy about my ribbon, but Mummy took it off me after the pictures.

It was kinda cool, Mummy and I were in the backyard, and she was holding me, and Daddy was talking to me.

But it very quickly lost it's cool. Mummy's kinda annoying when she gets affectionate.

Still. I reckon I'm a stud.

Moving in / Sleeping

2008-09-22T20:47:00.000-07:00

So Mummy and Daddy brought me to their house. It's funny how we have different ideas of what I should be doing, but they're slowly coming around to my way of thinking.

For example, sleeping. I think I should sleep wherever I feel tired, but usually wherever they are. They're pretty cool about sleeping on the floor, or in my crate, or in my bed... but Mummy seems to have this thing about couches. She sits on it, so I don't see why I can't. After I played by her rules for a while, so she'd think I'd given in, I was allowed to stay out of my crate overnight. Unfortunately, I didn't wake up early enough in the morning.

Sprung!

Good thing I'm cute.

In The Beginning

2008-08-29T06:42:00.000-07:00

In the beginning, there were five of us, all together. We had fun climbing all over each other.

But I wasn't happy with being confined to a backyard. So with the help of my siblings, we planned our escape.

But before we could escape, Mummy and Daddy came to pick me up. Rats! Another plan foiled.
