Investigating

 What's that?!!

Kendra sees it first

Bella has a look

A caterpillar!

It's important to investigate every little thing.

Monday Musings

 INNER PEACE

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without alcohol,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then you are probably..................

The Family Dog!!!

B-O-L!!!

(Arrived via e-mail, so we can't give credit where it's due.)

Our Friends

 Hi Everyone,  we've been trying to catch up on blogs this morning because we've been very busy!

Bella         Daisy      and Millie

 We've visited our friend Millie.

 Poor Kendra didn't have much of a chance fetching the ball with that whirlwind Millie as competiton.

 Millie is crazy wild.....but loads of fun!

She taught us how to get inside her house through the dog door.  We've given the peeps a few surprises....

Sometimes when we go for walks down by the river we run into our friend Gwen Stefani.  (Her breeder names all puppies after singers.) 

Gwen is a retired Champion Bull Terrier.  She's the mother of champions, too.  She is a very happy and gentle lady--even when Bella bedevils her.  But, you know what?  Other people are afraid of her and won't let their dogs play with her.  Just because of her looks!  And Gwen loves everyone......even cats!

For Holly....

 because she wanted some possum recipes!!!!!  BOL!!!

Wordless Wednesday--found in our Recipe Book

Another holiday!

Bella and Daisy enjoy walking along the 'beach' after a dip.

And before you ask-- it was worth a bath.

(Tuesday was a holiday because ANZAC Day fell on Easter Monday which was a public holiday.)

ANZAC Day

 Hi Everyone,  Today was ANZAC Day.  ANZAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp.  Every year on April 25, Australia and NZ have their day of rememberance of all the service men and women who have given their lives.....and/or served our countries in war. 

 In addition to dawn services and parades in nearly every town in Australia, there were dawn services at ANZAC cove Gallipoli (where it all began), Villers-Bretonneux, France and Long Tan, Vietnam.

It is not a glorification of war, but rather just a time to reflect, and remember those who have had to fight.

 Rosemary is worn in rememberance.
The ANZAC ode:

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the gowing down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.
