Walks...

The River means a 'dirty walk'.
Dui tries to get Pi to bite his neck.
 The mud at the river seems to be clay and will not brush out. 
 It requires a dunking.
Our neighbourhood walks are 'clean walks.'
 
Notice Spring flowers!

We do like both walks.....but a 'dirty' walk is our favourite!
These photos were taken between 6:15 and 6:30 a.m.
The sun is coming up earlier.

Friday Fracas...

You might have guessed from the title that there would have been a cat involved.
This is Roy--mocking us through the window.

 He's one of the Front Yard Cats....from Across the Street!
He usually hides out in the stormwater drain.
Come out, Roy.  Here kitty, kitty.
 This morning was Roxy's turn to go to the vet's.
 We all went, so we could have a run afterwards.
Roxy's way ahead on the left.


 Anyway, just as were jumping into the car to head to the vet's 
(gate open) who should race by across the street.  
Yep, it was that sneaky Roy.
We were off!
We chased him through several yards and treed him!
 This is the tree!  You'll have imagine three savage dogs barking and jumping and racing around the base.
When SHE was finally  able to subdue us (with treats)
and put leads on us, we headed to the vet's and the park.
After all that time, who should STILL be sitting in that tree?!


Yep, that sassy cat, Roy!
Dogs rule!
 (Oh, and Roxy is healthy, with great teeth, clean skin and ears!
Also, inoculated against the nasty diseases for another year.)

Wednesday Water Monster...

When the river level is high, the Water Monster appears...
 Sometimes he looks quite spooky, coming out of the water.
 He watches us play.
 We're not afraid of him.
Dui

Actually, he doesn't scare anyone.

Nearly No Gizzards!


Yep....SHE forgot to take the chicken gizzards out of the freezer this morning before we went to the river.
 We always have gizzards with gravy on our kibble on weekends.

And you know why? 

Because we got TWO packages, both addressed
to Dui, but for HER.

Books!
And this beautiful card.
The second, did have a present for Dui.
A pheasant that sounds a bit like a burping duck.
He's missing those white feet at the moment.
They came all the way from England from Princess Leah!
(and her mum.)
Princess Leah

They're about Chatsworth House--the site of Princess Leah's personal Tower.
 

Because SHE was finishing off another book, SHE had to wait until today to start them.  SHE started with the smaller and will move on to the other....
 It was a gorgeous, sunny day, so as soon as we returned from the river, SHE sat outside, read and
nearly didn't make our gizzards!

Bedtime Treats for the Week...

We ran out of peanut butter.

Rabbie Burns Treats



"The best laid schemes o' Mice and Man
Gang aft agley."

SHE was making us some more peanut butter treats.
SHE usually melts the peanut butter in the microwave.
As there was enough left in the plastic jar,  SHE got the bright idea of just melting it IN the jar.
However, the jar melted.

Luckily, SHE noticed it before the PB got plastic in it.
 The treats came out all right anyway.
And we don't care anyway.
So that's one scheme that won't be repeated.
