Duckie 2

Happiness is a new toy.

Since I was so upset over the terrible destruction of my duck, Mom and Dad got me a new one.

Throw it, Dad!

I'm gonna get it!

Got it! The crowd goes wild! What?

Boring!

Mom has been pretty slack this week. Not only has she not been helping me update my blog regularly, but I haven't been provided with nearly enough excitement either.

I've been looking like this... Mom...pay attention to me...

Mom...stop studying and take me someplace...Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

We did get to go on a walk to a different place today. It was all very exciting because there were so many different smells. We saw a kangaroo so Mom had to stop and watch it. I was terribly unimpressed and upset no one was paying attention to me so decided to eat some dirt instead. That got them moving along. Luckily Mom didn't have her camera or we would have spent even longer just standing there! Geez!

Photo Shoot

Mom got a new camera so she has been taking a lot of photos of me lately, to try it out.

And some of the Fluffies too I guess

Today I got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's. This is me in the car going "C'mon, C'mon, why aren't we there yet?!"
I had a great time and got to play with Molly. Mom got annoyed though because everytime she went to take a photo of us we'd stop playing. HA HA! Gotta be quicker!

A Week in Review

Thanks for the welcome!

Finally this week my mom was able to get photographic evidence of the dog that lives in the tv cabinet. He has been there ever since I came here to live. He is not always in the tv cabinet though. Sometimes I see him in these things they call mirrors.

When I was little I would try to get him to play with me, but now that I am older I think he is up to something (obviously, since he would never play). I growl and bark at him to make sure he knows he is not welcome, but he just growls and barks back. The hide! Can you see him there laughing at me?? Grr...

Also this week I managed to chew the other window out of my doghouse and pull out some more irrigation. I also trimmed the palms and dug up a brick. No photographic evidence though as Mom was too cranky.

Yesterday when I was out for my daily walk a young cat jumped out of the bushes and ran towards me, like he wanted to play! He did stop a few feet away though as he may not have realised how much bigger I am. It still filled me with hope. Maybe one day the Fluffies will play with me. I have showed them my new squeaky beaver toy in the hopes that they might think it's fun too, but Dad says that me charging at them with a VERY noisy toy probably isn't their idea of play. I don't understand?

New Toys!

They make comfy pillows as well

Duckie!!! Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!

A terrible, terrible thing has happened to Duckie! I don't know how to describe it...inhumane! Tragic...very very tragic...

I don't know what happened. Dad was holding one end and I was quite calmly holding the other and it just fell apart!

Another toy taken away!

It's so very unfair.

Sigh...

Bank Holiday!

Mom didn't have to go to work today. So after a sleep in (boring!) and doing the Happy Happy Joy Joy Dance, she took me to the beach.

There were lots of dogs there. It was all very exciting. Unfortunately Mom wouldn't let me off my leash to play with them BECAUSE SHE IS A BIG MEANIE! She claims I can't be trusted because when there are other dogs around I forget who she is. Rude.

So many smells...my nose was working overtime

I don't know if you can see it, but there is a big bird there. Mom said it was a heron. I don't care what it is, I just wanted to eat it. When we walked by I gave it my most ferocious bark and growl.

Hamish, you left out the bit about how it flew away and you had to hide behind your mommy.

I don't know what you are talking about. Get out of my blog.

The best part of the day was one lady thought I was so cute that she wanted her picture taken with me. I wanted to show my appreciation by drowning her in kisses. Mom was embarrassed.

After a long walk we went home. Mom decided that I needed a shower as I was sandy and salty. I took it in my usual passive aggressive way.

But when it was done I flew out of the bathroom and hit the back door so hard it magically opened. Freedom! I raced around the backyard and rolled around in the grass. Muddy goodness!

Mom came outside to see what happened and I thought her head would explode! She picked me up and put me back into the shower. A second shower?! What the stuff?!

Anyways...lots of excitement for one day. Think I'm going to have to have a nap now.

Destructo Dog

Another busy week. I have taken upon myself to do some more landscaping. Those palms have got to go!

I have done some remodelling to my doggie house...

Mom felt the need to point out the damage. In my defence it has been a work in progress over several months. She is just upset because one of the windows magically came out...all on its own...honest...

I also got some new toys this week.

Sadly the hippo didn't make it...it stopped squeaking in less than 30 minutes and in less than two hours he had lost an ear. At this point Dad said I wasn't allowed to play with him anymore.

I also watched some nature documentaries

And of course I did some napping in MY chair. Oh yeah, that's a comfy chair.
