Look what SHE'S done now!

 Do you notice anything in this picture?  Nothing, you say.  Well that's the point!

Saturday afternoon we were locked up confined to a bedroom,  with pigs' ears,  and strangers came to the house. When we were let out, all of our furniture was gone!  Well, not HER special chair, but the couch and chairs that we sleep on, and have slept on for eleven years--completely gone.  What do you think about that?

Our Long, Long Walk

 Now that the summer heat has come, we get up early and go for long walks.  This was one of the longest we've had so far.  Our river has lots of places to walk along, but this is our favourite.  Mostly we get to run free!  Firstly, we park our little car and check out the picnic area.

Not much today.

 Then we head down the cycleway to the first bridge.  That's Bella in front.  She's no longer frightened of the bridge.

 Then we continue, taking time out to check pee-mail and chase birds of course, until we come to the second bridge.  That's where OUR beach is.  We usually stop right there, but this time we walked over the second bridge, up the hill and started walking along the opposite of the river.

That's OUR beach on the opposite side (and you can see the bridge)

 The river is now on our left and sports fields on our right.

 Lots to sniff and look at.  Then we reached Sandy Beach.......

That's Bella, banana tail, in the front.

 And had a paddle in the water.  We are actually across the river from the picnic area.  Then we walked ALL the way back to our car.  We were very tired, and the sun was getting higher.  It was a wonderful walk.  We were wet and dirty.  And yes, we had to have a B-A-T-H.

Oooooops!

But then, so did the car!!!!

Our Hill

 This our hill down by the river.  We love to run up and down that hill.

Bella

Oh, that's not a spaceship on the top.  It is the club house of the local Lawn Bowls Club.  Well, the last few times we've gone to OUR hill for a run, there have been humans using it.  They try to do zoomies up and down.  But they are sooooo slow.  No way would it pass for zoomies. 

 When they get to the bottom, they lie down and try to sit up again.  Sometimes it takes them about 87 times to actually get back up.  Then they do it all over again!

We'd love to demonstrate proper zoomies--but we aren't allowed to run free.  Guess they'll never get the hang of it.  Believe me, they are pathetic!

It's Friday, and time for friends.  We've met a few more dogs in Blogville and thought we'd let you know about them.  We're sure they'd love a visit.

Firstly, is Spur , he's a Beauceron.  We'd never heard of those, but pop over and learn more.

Then there's Rubie the Schnauzer who lives here in Australia.  And finally is a little guy named Bowie.  Just click on the link and go make them welcome.
Avagoodweekend! 

Unfair!

Daisy

This morning we went for a walk by the river.  It has been hot--over 100 for a few days--so we go for a very long walk early in the morning.  This morning when we got to the picnic area, I found a whole slice of bread.  Someone must have left it for the birds.  Well, I found it.  It was mine!  AND SHE pulled it right out of my mouth.  Just grabbed it and ripped it right out!  I was so surprised I didn't even chomp down and save a bit of crust.  So I got nothin'.  Then SHE threw it away!  How unfair is that?!!!

(And she can stop calling me Kegs--short for keg on legs. It's mostly fur.)

Wordless Wednesday--Australia Day

Daisy, Kendra and Bella show FG some nationalism.

Duck Pond

 We went for FOUR walks today!  One was to the duck pond.  SHE forgot the camera......AGAIN! So this is just an old picture to remind you of what it looks like.

Kendra (left) and Me, Daisy

 The pond water was much clearer today and there were loads of ducks.  They must have thought we were going to feed them because they followed us around.  There were four tiny ducklings that Bella kept trying to get.  But Kendra was the more excited by them.  She ran back and forth acting like a puppy.  She even fell in and had to be pulled out.  She really wanted one of those ducklings. The duck pond is Kendra's favourite walk.

There were also three swans.  We've never seen them before.  Did you know Australian swans are black? 

 Well you do now.  We had to get this off the Internet because of the NO CAMERA!

When we got home, Kendra even managed a short zoomie around the house.  Then she found a comfortable(?) place to sleep......

She was using the tile as a pillow.  She is allowed to sleep wherever she chooses and this is it!

Think she's dreaming of ducklings?
