First Saturday of April.....

means the Farmers' Market.

We always stop off at our favourite stall on the way to the river....well, SHE does, we have to stay in the car.

 Today we got some beef tendons, kangaroo tail, and billy's willies.

You've heard of Bully Sticks, well these come from goats.

 SHE says not as many calories in them.

 

 These pups' peeps own the stall.

How lucky are they.......

We had the roo tails when we got home.....yum!

 

Fun on Friday....morning.

SHE says we need some rain!

I don't like.....

Vacula...

..and brooms....and mops...and lawnmowers.

Our Easter Weekend

We had four days of gettin' down and dirty!

Four river mornings with our friends.

Bella spent a total of 6 hours standing IN the river.

Every once in awhile someone would feel sorry for her and throw her rock for a minute or so.

Just before Easter, SHE came home to find a package addressed to Bella and HERself.

 It was from Sweet William and Lee.

 Mostly, it had treats for HER:  Peeps and a Peep stuffie, sugar egg with a scene inside, Reece's pieces carrot, Godiva chocolate, Sweet William calendars, a scottie card, and for Bella a little spatula  and

Bunny cookie cutter.

SHE made Peanut Butter Bunnies for us.

We shared them with our friends at the river.

THANKS, SWEET WILLIAM!

We had a fantastic weekend and Easter.

And guarded our front yard from the Front Yard Cats.

We'd also like to point out that HER package wasn't opened or deemed a Bio-security hazard.

Successful Saturday......(and Sunday)

The new 'blue rock' that Frankie and Ernie sent Bella has been a HUGE success!

Sometimes she just chews on it before putting it back down

to be thrown again.

Here are some pictures of her in action.

She can catch it and not break her teeth.  She loves grabbing it off the bottom before it floats to the top;  snorkeling, we call it.

We thank FnE for such a great, thoughtful present!

Snicker Thursday....

Well....SHE repaired the treat pocket in the dog-walking pants,

using a sock...

that some pup chewed..

It is larger than before, and can hold many treats,

Until Dui goes through the laundry basket again.

Also Happy St Patrick's Day!

The only wearing of the green here,

was the grass.

It rained most of the day-----between walks.

Some St Pat's humour...

Have a great day!

Snicker Wednesday....A Postal Story

Several weeks ago, Frankie and Ernie emailed to say they were sending a pretend 'rock' for Bella.

We were on the look out for it.

Then a large (Chewy box) arrived and we opened it.

That was Roxy's Easter parcel.

We emailed F n E to say it arrived, and they said 

there was another on the way for Roxy for Easter.

(Are you following this?)

The original package hadn't arrived.

Yesterday, we found it in our letter box

with a sticker on it!

 Inside was a leaflet stating....

 And it contained a letter to explain that the plastic 'rock' would float, so maybe Bella 

play with it at the river instead of real rocks.

They felt sorry that she had to wait for someone to throw

rocks for her.

 They said it would float, and it does.

 We'll try it out on Saturday in the river, in a calm part where

 the current won't take it.

Bella checked it out.

We're not sure what the result will be as Bella

is very particular about the size of rock and

where it lands, but we'll let you know.

Thanks guys!

(We think our name might be on record

 on the Customs computers.)
