Watch the birdies....
There are usually lots of birds at the Sports Ground.
These are Galahs.
Roxy always stalks them.
She moves in very slowly.....
She pretends she isn't interested in them.....
Then moves closer.....
And finally she makes her move!
But sometimes,
just as she's ready to pounce,
Bella or I charge passed her and make the birds fly away!
 |
| Daisy races in to chase the birds! |
She hates that!
(evil laugh...)

Our Weekend
We hope you had a fantastic weekend. We did.
The temperatures were lower so we were able to be outside most of the day.
Saturday morning we went to the Devil's Elbow, as usual.
 |
| Hurry up, the others might already be there! |
We always walk the loop so SHE gets some exercise, too.
It was a beautiful day.
 |
| Flash, Buddy, Roxy, Daisy and Bella |
A new girl came. She's a 4 month old Kelpie/Border Collie mix.
She was a bit nervous at first.....probably because eight of us mobbed her when she arrived.
 |
| Flash, Roxy, Kelly and Pi (her dad's a mathematics teacher) |
Roxy became so excited that she had to sit quietly on the lead for awhile...BOL!
Soon, Pi was racing around with everyone.
Sunday morning we went to the other part of the river. We hadn't been there since the hot weather--snake season--began.
The sun was just coming up and everything had that beautiful morning light.
We looked for the 'roos, but they weren't out, or at least we couldn't see them.
Then we walked down to 'our beach'.
We haven't been there since last November.
We checked it all out. There isn't much beach because the river has been high.
That's so the farmers can take water out to irrigate their crops.
We walked up to the Sports Ground for a run but Someone forgot to recharge the camera battery so there are no pictures.
We didn't get a long run because Someone noticed one of our leads was missing. We found it back on our beach.
This morning we went to see the sheep. We wondered if there might be another lamb, but on closer inspection,
we think the others are wethers (castrated rams.)
After our long walk around the 'hood, we had another run at the Sports Ground.
Then we came home and slept through the Superbowl.
Even Bella was too tired to watch it.

A message from your CFATDU..
That's your Commissioners for all things Down Under.
(In case you forgot.)
Our friends Stella and Rory have suggested that we the CFATDU have a few posts about language differences.
 |
| Rory (the lapdog BOL) and Stella |
We thought it was a good suggestion.
As this is Superbowl Weekend in the USA,
We decided that it was the ideal time to tell you about one difference, well two.
First of all American Football is called Gridiron here to distinguish it from our football codes. We have Australian Rules, Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer.
We also 'barrack' for our teams (Loudly).
You see, friends, in Australian slang, the word 'root' means the same as 'screw' in American slang.
Down here, we're getting a whole other mental picture!
Have a great day, if you're like our relatives there will be much shouting and giving advice to the coaches......but enjoy.
And root to hearts content.....BOL~
May both teams play well.
Nothing worse than a game that is over in the first half.

February 1st
This morning SHE changed the calendar and
Bella has spent the day.
Watching...
Growling at or trying to attack the new scottie.
Crazy!

This afternoon we thought we received a VERY late
Christmas card.
But on closer inspection it was for Roxy!

From ERNIE!
And when we opened it....... It was a Valentine's card. LOOK!
A sock monkey with one of those heart candies that says 'SWEEEET'!
Check out how he wrote the 'o's'!!
We think Ernie's got it BAD!
Thanks, Ernie, Love ya LOTS!
Here's 87 gazillion kisses!
