Fun at the Park (by Luna)

Oooh another post by me!! Kaya is being nice to me this week!

This afternoon we went for a walk down the road to our local park. There's lots of open space where we can run run RUN as much as we like! Usually Mum walks along one side and Dad walks along the other, and me and Kaya have races between them! She usually wins...

But I am getting faster all the time!

Img_6026

Sometimes we can't decide which way to go...

Img_6018

When we're running we just let it all hang out - tongues, lips, ears - Mum gets some pretty funny photos! Hehe Kaya looks so silly here...

Img_6021

Ok, ok, I'll admit I look a bit weird too!

Img_6029

There's HEAPS of good smells in the park, especially after it's been raining. We stop and check them out for a break from the running...

Img_6043

Img_6048

YIKES! Here comes Kaya! Looks like we're running again!

Img_6056

Oh no, she's beating me!

Img_6074

Back the other way - now I'm beating her!

Img_6079

When we're not running or sniffing, I have a little thing I like to do called 'doggy dancin'...

Img_6086

I basically just throw my legs around in every direction, prance around and jump sideways a lot, it might not look very co-ordinated to you but I know the latest doggy dance steps. Other dogs recognise my moves! Even if the humans think I'm acting like fool.

Img_6002

I tried to teach Dad but I don't think he gets it...

Img_6088

Oh well. Back to racing Kaya again - look, we're neck and neck!

Img_6133

Did someone say something about sneaky tactics? It wasn't me, Kaya started it!

Img_6141

Once we'd had enough running it was time to go home. Mum sneaked off and hid behind the toilet block! But we knew she was there and spotted her straight away!

Img_6152

Running at the park with Kaya is so fun. One day I am going to get big enough and fast enough to beat her! Just you wait Kaya...

An Adventure with Mum

Very early this morning Dad and Luna drove off in the van, Mum said that they would be gone all day and we should do something special, just me and her! Just like old times! I was all up for that.

We decided to go for a drive in the mountains to try and find somewhere interesting. Mum put my red bed in the back of the Jeep...

Img_5513

It fits in perfectly! There is just the right amount of room in the Jeep for just me, but when Luna gets it too it gets a bit crowded and we sit on each other and get annoyed. So I was glad it was just me this time!

Img_5515

We drove to the mountains and went around lots of windy roads and up and down steep hills. Mum said she'd like us to live out that way someday. This is one of the roads we went on...

Img_5519

I was a good girl in the back. I got up whenever we stopped but mostly I just lay down and looked out the window.

Img_5524

We finally found what looked like a good place to stop for a look. It was a nice green paddock next to some horses and cows. They were pretty interesting but I found something even better!

Img_5527

It was a creek! A cute little babbling creek. It was so pretty!

Img_5532

It was SUCH a good place to explore. So many cool new things to smell!

Img_5544

I saw some even cooler looking stuff on the other side of the creek!

Img_5553

So I decided to cross...

Img_5557

Ooh! It was a bit cold! Not nearly as warm as the water at the beach. Mum says that's because it comes down from the mountains.

It was really rocky under the water so I had to concentrate hard to keep my balance...

Img_5558

Yay! Made it to the other side...

Img_5560

I walked up the other side a bit until I found a little waterfall...

Img_5573

I was going to try and cross back here but the water was going pretty fast and I didn't want to fall over! That would just be embarrassing!

Img_5575

I went back down further and crossed back.

Img_5577

But there was a deep bit!

Img_5600

It's cool, I know how to swim! I went in anyway and had a drink while I was there. Mmmm the water was so fresh and cool! Much better than the garden tap water at home even!

Img_5603

Then it was time for us to go - lucky Mum brought a towel cos I got pretty wet! I had a fun time with Mum, we should do this stuff more often! I think she agrees. Now, how to get rid of Dad and Luna for a day again.....?

At the 'Spectacular Petacular'

This weekend, Mum had a stall for her puppy photos at a big pet expo up in the place called Brisbane. Dad and us stayed around home for most of the weekend and did fun stuff like go to the beach, but he brought us up to make an appearance at Mum's stall both days.

So here we are, making our star appearance! We were a big drawcard for Mum's stall, lots of people came over and said hello to us. We were such good girls laying down nicely!

Grandpa's Place II - Beating up Kaya (by Luna)

Hi it's me Luna again! Kaya let me have another post - wow how lucky am I. Kaya posted last about our visit to Grandpa's place. She missed out the best part though, our awesome play fight that we had in the long grass. I know why though, it's cos I beat her! Muhahaha...

Anyways it started off when we found the long green grass in the paddock. I saw Kaya stalking me out of the corner of my eye...

Img_2998

She lunged! I ran away!

Img_3002

Face first into the long green grass.

Img_3003

But then I turned around and got Kaya a beauty!

Img_3010

Threw her into the grass...

Img_3012

But she got away! I chased her!

Img_3019

She's still a bit faster than me, cos she's bigger, but I gave it my best...

Img_3020

She got ahead of me...

Img_3021

Round and round we went!

Img_3024

We ran so fast...

Img_3035

Img_3036

But I finally caught up with her!

Img_3031

And jumped on her...

Img_3027

Uh oh! She got me this time!

Img_3139

But I recovered and jumped on her again! I won, I won!

Img_3169

I'm so good at play fighting with Kaya. We have lots of fun together, running and playing and exploring.

Img_3172

I might give her a hard time, but I really do love my big sister Kaya!

Grandpa's Place

We went for a big drive today up to see Dad's Dad and his family at their place in the country. It's an interesting place to visit, he has lots of 'stuff'! Sometimes called 'junk', but apparently it's all useful 'stuff'. Depends you who ask. Anyway, I like it cos there is lots to smell and investigate!

Img_2927

We were looking around and then noticed that Mum had gone missing! I looked everywhere and finally found her in an old caravan.

Img_2823

She had found something very interesting! They were tiny little mewling things in a box. Kind of like little baby puppies but different...

Img_2949

Mum called them 'kittens'. They were so little and helpless looking!

Img_2828

We were a bit concerned about them, but Mum said that their mummy would be back soon and we should leave them be. So we went off exploring again!


Img_2971

Mum called us back though cos there was a big cow in the paddock she didn't want me to say hello to. I like cows, but they don't like me much. I'm not sure why.

Img_2967

We went and had a look in the other paddock instead. It was kind of dry and barren, Mum and Dad said it was because they'd taken all the 'topsoil' off for the new 'housing estate' close by. Not sure what all the means, but I think it's something to do with all the houses I could see close by. I don't think they were there last time we visited!

Img_2938

We liked running around in the paddocks! So much space and so much to smell and look at!

Img_2981

I don't really understand why Grandpa has so much stuff. But I really like it! It's such an interesting place, I like visiting Grandpa!
