The boldest mouse

Goodbye dear Squeaker

You have left a hole much bigger than anyone could imagine. 

Tippy, Taco & Charlie

Yappy Christmas!

We've been looking out for Santa's sleigh

 We've heard he's on his way 

Last chance to be good...

Sleep tight pups everywhere!

Howloween

Mum transformed into a vampire for the night and we became her accessories. Always thought she was batty. 

Nothing to eat here

Did you say "treat"?

After an evening in the company of marauding, hyped-up kids, I celebrated Dia de los Muertos with a quiet nap. 

Taco

El loco

Mum got this hoodie from The Sophisticated Pet for our winter trip to Canberra. 

It kept me as warm as toast in the sun outside a cafe!

Australian Capital Territory

This is our first visit to Canberra. So many things to discover...

Grand parliament buildings 

Enchanting wildlife

Icy waters

Labradors love to swim.

Chihuahuas don't even like getting their feet wet.

As usual I did a bit of bed stealing. I’m not sure whether Ralph was happy with the swap.

We stopped at the Big Merino on our way home. As motorway services go, it's a bit different. 

That was adventure with a capital 'A'!

Camels on the beach

We saw strange and wonderful sights on our camping trip to Stockton Dunes.

Not one for braving the cold, Mum insisted on having a powered site so she could use a heater and kettle. Camping in the winter has its perks as we all slept in the same tent, although we dogs were required to stay in our own beds (most of the time).

Guess who sneaked into big brother's sleeping bag? I gather I’m “too hairy” to be allowed inside a human sleeping bag. Pffft!

Charlie

Seeing double

We met this handsome chihuahua and his name happened to be Charlie. 

He looks a lot like me, doesn't he?  

Taco

Tumble dry

 Wash day still happens in the middle of winter. Grrr  

We have to endure the shower but then we get to dry off in the garden and restore our natural dogliness.  

Adding the finishing touches.

Thankfully Mum picked a warm day for it!

Bye for now 

Taco

Tobler-mouse

Do you think they left us any?

Never mind, the box will be perfect for hiding in!

Surf lesson

Look no hands (unlike Taco)!

To the lighthouse and back

At last I can tell you about our trip to the Central Coast. 

 

We were lucky to have the beach to ourselves and just look at the waves!  

I tried to follow Dad into the surf but it was a bit daunting. I’m not bad on the boogie board though (more on that another time).

Checking out the surf



Sinking in the sand

After scrambling over sand dunes and chasing waves, we didn't mind a bit of time chilling back at base. The campsite said it welcomes dogs but they weren't all that welcoming because they insisted we had to be on a leash. At least they didn’t specify the length of the rope. We were too pooped to run around in any case.

What's this leash nonsense?

At the end of my tether

When we packed up to leave we found this little rat hiding underneath the tent. He ran towards Mum and then tried to stow away in the car! He might be someone’s pet who got lost. Mum set him free in the bushes to find a new home. 

Good luck little friend!

Hiding in the car wheel

It’s too cold for camping now (according to Mum) so we’re mooching around at home and waiting for spring.

Remind me to tell you about my surfing lesson next time…

Rainy days

 

Pretending we live in the tropics and it’s monsoon season.

Happy Australia Day

Taco in mid air

Life's a beach!
