Let sleeping dog lie

It's been 8 weeks since my surgery. I've spent a lot of time resting and watching the world go by. The highlight of my week was a car ride to the vet for a check up and injection. 

At first I could only go for short, slow walks, which was really dull. Now my leg is improving I can join Taco and Miss T again to patrol the neighbourhood. 

I'm not allowed to run around yet but I keep forgetting and Mum has to remind me by yelling "Stop!".

Getting on with it

It was a challenge but I managed to eat, sleep and poop wearing this thing. 

There was a lot of medication for the first week and I got very smart at chewing up and spitting out the funny tasting pills. 

Mostly I've been sleeping in my private suite that Dad built in the garden.

I can't wait to lose this clown costume. 

Charlie 

Ouch!

Well friends, I haven't been out much lately cos I hurt my stifle (knee) and it made me walk funny.

After lots of visits to the vet and an "eggstray" they said I had torn my cruciate ligament and needed surgery. 

I had to spend 2 days in hospital and then Mum and Dad picked me up. I was so glad to see them that I howled and shrieked to let them know what had happened. They could see for themselves thanks to my big red bandage and lampshade collar. 

I'm feeling a bit sore and grumpy but will write more soon.

Road Trip

Mum and I visited Sam on the South Coast.  They have the best beaches.















We guarded the towels while our mums braved the waves 
















and Sam introduced me to his favourite smells. 

After a day in the sun, there's nothing better than snuggling up for the evening. Sam is the perfect host. 

It was worth the drive even though the winding roads made me a bit sick. I puked into Mum's handbag (she shouldn't have left it next to my bed) but at least she didn't need to wash the seat.  

Mum didn't want any dramas on the way home so she took the scenic route with frequent stops in towns with cute names like Kangaroo Valley. 


















That's the silkiest sand I ever set paw on.

What a pity Charlie and Miss T had to stay home with Dad...

Ice surprise

Strange treats these

 

They didn't come from our fridge either. Apparently they fell from up there.

I'm confused

Miss T

Mermaid

I love the pool!

Miss T

Peace on earth

We hope that all our friends had a safe and peaceful Christmas. 

Miss T declared this the best Christmas ever!  


Happy New Year

My Christmas Wish

A year ago I was feeling sad because my previous people left me at a shelter just before Christmas. 

Thankfully I was rescued by the angels at Claws N Paws who gave me a safe and loving place to stay while I waited for a family of my own. They placed this ad for me.  

Now I believe in Santa Claws N Paws. 

I wish all pups could have a happy forever home.

Cruelty Free Festival

We had a fabulous festival here in Sydney - all about being kind to animals. 

It was fun to mingle with dogs and their humans. So there I was, doing my own thing when I noticed these ladies in police uniform. Was I under suspicion?  

Are they following me?

Trying to look cool

Thinking I may need a lawyer, I ran to the Animal Defenders Office. 

I feel safer around here

They had the best stall with free food samples and dog t-shirts as well helpful advice. I'm now their mascot.

 ADO uses the law to protect animals 

Looking forward to my next festival appearance.

PS Molly and Mea aren't really police dogs but their costumes fooled me!

Helping around the house

I'm sure Mum wanted these pressed flat

It's also a comfy place to sleep

Winter's gone

I'll miss the fire. 

It's just one of the perks of my new home.

Miss T

This is how we roll

It isn't all lazing in the sun, chihuahua-style around here. 

Miss T can be a terrier too.

Charlie

Peas in a pod

Well it sometimes appears that way, but we are really very different.

We'll tell you more about Miss T soon.

Reflecting

I like to look down from the balcony but Mum thinks I'm just looking at myself.

Siesta

It's too hot to play with my new toy, so I've found another use for it. 

Keep cool Aussie pups!

The sweetest mouse

Goodbye dear Tippy

Now you can explore the Rainbow Bridge with Squeaker and we know you will be happier together.   

Rest in peace little brothers.
