No Joy in Mudville

This was a Saturday photo.

You can see that our river is still very high.

But on Sunday the rain reappeared with a vengeance.

We only made quick business trips outside.

It poured all day.

We did get HER up at 5 a.m. on Monday to make

sure we got in a walk....and we got another one later.

And we did get to the river on Tuesday morning.

We do love each other, but we just love being with our friends.

This morning (Wednesday) we got HER up for another 5 a.m walk.

Good thing we did, because it started raining as soon as we got home!

BUT, that's not the worst news!

This afternoon we go to the kennel again for at least 8 days.

SHE is having a cat-something operation on HER eye

tomorrow at 7 a.m. and says that SHE can't do dog stuff for awhile.

(Good thing we've been training her to get up early.)

See you in October--we want to be back for Taco Day.

Friday

It was not a good start.

Do you see where I am?!

Wearing her Star Collar and Ernie loves Roxy tag.

 However, I got a good report and had lost some weight

because SHE's been starving me.

Had my annual needles and I'm good to go for another year.

Then off to the nearby Sportsground

where inconsiderate people were playing sports.

So we continued north to the other

river walk and Sportsground.

 We haven't been on this track for months, so there was lots to investigate.  Dui remembered the spot where we chased the fox, but there were none to chase.  We had to make do with the cockatoos, and magpies and ducks.

A pit stop isn't going to help you Dui.

 When we got to the Soccer field, it was Game On.

 We had it all to ourselves.

 All to soon we heard 'Get in the Car'.

The Vet visit was forgotten.

This morning (Saturday)  we'll head to the muddy part of the river to play with our friends.)

Hope your weekend will be spectacular!

Rain...rain...

but it seems to have missed us this time.

Unfortunately some of the inhabitants down south have to put up with flooding.

Wordless--but noisy--Wednesday

Turn the volume up.  We thought you'd like to hear the kookaburras.

(Sorry about the wind noise.)

Monday Magpie Mischief....

(Apologies to Kismet.)

Close....

 Closer....

 Charge!

 I love chasing magpies!

(Those scotties are nosing around some trees.)

Soggy Saturday...

Heavy rain during the night. 

You can see that the river is still high.

We stayed on the track, but water is water.....

(Dui prefers to walk around it.)

The river

is back within its bed...(leaving lots of great mud and puddles.)

This morning we found this interesting hole in the road.

 Being Earth dogs, we were very interested in it.

Roxy was more interested in eating the grass.

 One Earth dog, of course, disappeared down the hole.

SHE was going to help him out (after the requisite photo),

but he managed to scramble out by himself.
