A trip to the beach always guarantees new adventures.

Sunday we went with Max and Pekoe down to Barwon Head's 13th Beach, our preferred gathering place for public mongreling-around sessions.

So we came across this tree, kinda like One Tree Hill but without the Hill. Kinda like One Tree Beach.

Of course, since it was a recent addition to the otherwise familiar landscape, we felt it was our duty to baptise the thing...



So everyone had a lift of the ole leg (not too many photos here as it was a rather private moment) and we think we even spotted Isabelle wanting in on the action...



Anyways...



Hey, Tim!



Yes, Molly?


Molly: What are you carrying in your right hand there? I think you have something in that bag that once belonged to me...I've told you many times, you've gotta kick that habit of yours, it's not right...Strange behaviour, Pinkie!


Tim: You wait, I'll chase you, cheeky Mongrel...


Molly: Too bad we're running the other way, Pinkie. Watch the contents of that bag, wouldn't want anything to spill on yourself...hehe...

Do your Pinkies have strange customs, too?? Sometimes I wonder if this is the only reason they keep us (other than to collect our fuzz).

We certainly have better things to do...



Love yas & leave yas...

Are we too late for Wordless Wednesday?

Time flies when you're having fun

Hi all

It's been crazy here at the ranch. We've been having so much fun, we forgot all about posting about it! Can you believe it??


Well, let's go back a couple of weekends...

Max and Pekoe came to our house for a Dale swap. One of those crazy ideas the pinkies had. We went and stayed with Maree and her family at Max and Pekoe's house and M&P stayed with our pinkies for the night.

The following day we returned home and spent the rest of the weekend with our guests at our place, the beach, walkies around town...

Then Sunday, #5 arrived: Winnie came back once more! So the house was well and truly full of Dales which we hear is a (quote) bliss and seems to lead certain pinkies to believe that they're in heaven. Mind you, it was all fun for us, too. The more, the merrier.

Everydoggie got an Airecut, too so we're all a bunch of trimmed fuzz butts again.

There's been one problem though. Pinkie "lost" the charger for her camera battery so there are no photos at all. None. Zilch....


The following weekend 9last weekend) we spent time with our dale pal Lili Lambert. Guess what, she has a baby brother now!! Oscar is soooo much fun!! He's six months old an very handsome. Of course we showed him who's boss but not without much resistance from his side.

So we've been rather pooped for the last couple of days, with all that Dales activity.

However, we've had since time to put our noses to work and found the battery charger for the camera so the next post will be full of black and tan imagery again.

Hasta la vista!

Inky and Molly

We're back!

Hey all.

We are pleased to report that The Sickness has left town!
We finally have our computer back as well and the world is how it should be.

AGES ago, our friend Africa tagged us to post about the things we LURVE.

It's Molly first...

Well, I (Molly) LURVE going crazy like a banana, especially on the beach.
When my family got me 2 years ago, I was less than an unhappy pile of fuzz.

These days...well, let me give you a hint: I have I changed! These days I am a loon on the loose but I will let the pictures do the talking...











And if you haven't gotten the picture yet, you can biggify this one...



Now it's over to Inky.

Well, I (Inky) LURVE the after-bath and occasional in-between treat, SCHWEINEÖHRCHEN aka the golden pig's ear...



















Happy times!!

INKY and MOLLY

Sickness

Hi all, it's Inky here.

Well I have been one sick puppy!



Here I am with my coat and neck warmer. I've had pneumonia. It all started with a cough and within a few days I had high fever and was shivering, looking rather wilted and I was off my food (could you believe it!).

I got taken to the vet and they shoved you know what up my almighty. Then they listened to my chest while prodding an poking me- all not very nice.
Next up were needles and some horribly yuck tasting tabbies.

I am still on the tabbies, but I haven't been coughing again for a few days now.
But the most important thing is (obviously) that I am keen (very keen) on food again, so all is well, thanks for asking.

We are still trying to work out how I got it because I am vaccinated regularly against just about anything and everything that's in the book. Anyway, the vet says, these things just happen. Well, I guess that's where the saying "as sick as a dog" comes from. I really was quite ill.

I have spent the week in the confinement of our home. BORING to say the least.
But mum found me a sunny spot in her studio



and she even pulled the blinds up so I could look out and observe the neighbour's cat - my favourite toy.

I probably have put on a few pounds over the last couple of days, too, because the pinkie has served ALL my favourite treats multiple times a day.

Because I haven't been able to walk or run or chase, my family has been taking me for drives around the place to "stimulate my mind" as is necessary for every Airedale.

My dad has also been quite sick and he's been sneezing and coughing his noggin' off, too.

Mum's computer has also been sick and had in fact go to the doctor himself.
She uses her computer for work (and to help us blog of course) and having to spread her work between two other (older) computers that are WAY slower has been driving her nuts. Honestly, I think I'll be taking her for drives next, just to stimulate her mind positively which is necessary with every pinkie.

Finally, the pinkie has fallen ill herself. As I am writing this, she is begging me to tuck her in for the night as she's had enough. So I guess, I had better return the favour and look after her this time.



Hey, because I have spent all this time bored at home I had time to be creative.
I have set up my very own shop (call me a business woman) at cafepress.
You can buy some terrific black and tan merchandise there so come on by!!

Hasta la vista,

INKY

Birthday madness continued...

So the word was, that there would be some more presents hidden in the sand.

So off we got to work...





We really are a good team these days when it comes to digging, but had I told you how tired I was by that stage? I tried to have a micro sleep and let Inky do all the hard work...





But the lass came up with little more than an Airehead full of sand...



So I got myself up again do have a look for myself (you can biggify this just to see how deep in I really am)...



Yep, up to the ears!! And little Inky Pup tried to push in again. Puppy, you had your chance!







Well, I made a complete mess of myself...




And guess what, after all that, it turns out that there were no presents hidden in the sand at all. Thanks, dad. I am glad you got a laugh out of that!

Ha, I sure gave them the look of death so they decided it was time to make up to us and take us to the cafe for lunch. Roo sticks for the Birthday Girl...






And all is forgiven...



I share my birthday with my Aussie grandad...



Here he is celebrating at a restaurant in Melbourne together with our pinkies.
For some unknown reason we were not allowed to come but instead stayed at fellow Dales Max and Pekoe's place down the road.

We have no photographic evidence of what we got up to at Mama Maree's place but by the time the pinkies got to pick us up the next day, there was not much left of us...



This is us at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, absolutely mashed...




Ahhhh, what a birthday bash weekend. Looking forward to next year. Same again?!!

Love,

MOLLY
