Holling Days - The report....Part 3(final)


Hi everyone! Thankyou for all your kind and generous comments regarding my Holling Day - it's a lot of fun telling you and showing you what a great time we had.


This was the "sleepover night" Scarlet and Zoe had with us.... as you can see a day of "runnin' free" makes for a quiet evening for the peeps!

The next day, after more freedom antics, Scarlet, Zoe and Uncie went home as left us. I was feelin' sad and a little weary for a while.

The sadness didn't last long..... did I tell you that the owners of the B&B are so good to me, that they left me a pile of dry sticks on the verandah to choose from. Very kind don't ya think?!

I spy with my widdle eye, something that starts with S!!!!!!! And something that starts with B!!!! Can you guess?

Sausages!!!!
BBQ!!!!!!!
Wooo Hooooo!

See George (my lad)(I know you will approve)  I score the ends off all the sausages - but no onion! UUmmmm! Yummers!

After our sausage sizzle, the pawrents and I walked around the entire farm, and checked out all the nooks and crannies.

This part of the farm is heritage listed and the owners planted 25,000 trees on it after all animal farming had ended. Notice there is no lead attached to me, I was stayin' nicely with my peeps.

In the evening I stuffed myself between my peeps for comfort and warmth while watchin' TV.

Our last night was COLD and WET, we got lotsa rain.... oh well - we were warm and comfy, and the rain is good for the farmers.

The fog lifted, and the day started to fine up. After packing our stuffs back into the car, I was harnessed and placed back in the car too. I guess that means that we are not going to live here afterall. This is sad - but it looks like I'm coming back in the future!!

So everyone - get your peeps to book into a "pet friendly" Holling Day destination - that way you can get to go along and have a blast too!! Don't let them have all the fun  ;-)

Holling Days - The report...Part 2 "Running Free"

Given it is winter here now - we woke to another lovely day in the Clare Valley (lucky for us).

Now for the mystery to be solved....who is coming today???

Hey!!!!! How did Scarlet, Zoe and Uncie find us here in the country!!! (Look at Zoe in flight - we love this pic because it kinda sums us pups up in one photo!)

And it looks like they are stayin' with us here overnight! Woooo.... a sleepover!

Here we go.... runnin' fast, runnin' free...... hey if we run down this track it leads us out the gates!!

Scarlet the first to return.

Me runnin with little Zoe bringin' up the rear..... check out her "panda" runnin' style!

Zoe and me checkin' out the dry creek bed - lotsa good smells in there!

Me.

Scarlet - open mouth tongue hanging and flappin'!

Scarlet and Zoe - bein' free

Scarlet and me.

Scarlet and Zoe off adventuring!

Another action shot of Scarlet.

Somehow.... I found the farm dam..... and got kinda wet, gritty and mucky. Sorry Ma!!!! These things are bound to happen when pups are f-r-e-e!!!!

Zoe looking all coy over a fallen log.

Scarlet - nice pic mum!

Us on a BIG fallen tree.... lookin' dapper!

Zoe - wondering what she is doin' on a big fallen tree! Oh... the flashy box!!

Nice and convenient shopping grounds for sticks out here - hundreds of them!

In case you haven't seen enough of us runnin' - here's mum's last coupla shots for ya! Scarlet and me.

Zoe and me muckin' about - situation normal for us.

Didn't we have the best time ever! Sorry about all the pics - but mum says it is not everyday that us pups have that much fun and freedom! 

Stay tuned for the third and final Part 3!

Holling Days - The report...Part 1

Hi to all in blogville!!! Did ya miss me???? I'll be round to see you all real soon.

As you know my pawrents took me off on Holling days and all my good furends in Blogville wanted a full report of my adventures.... so mum took thousands of pics for ya - and I will do the report in 3 parts.... here goes:

Getting close to the country town of Clare, South Australia (famous wine growing region) 

The main street of Clare..... where the humans go and buy our doggie treats and stuff

One of the smaller grape vineyards in Clare.... it's just hit winter here now, so the vines are just about bare. In the background of this pic (near the top in the middle - you will need to click on the pic to make it bigger) is a B&B my pawrents stayed at before I came along to enrich their lives. The building to the right of the B&B is a restaurant that my pawrents tried out as well.

A farmhouse with some sheeps (including a chocolate one) in the town outskirts.

The local kangaroos make themselves comfy up in the hills.

Finally, I'm let out the car and have reached our Mud-Brick Cottage (sorry for calling it a stone cottage before- I stand corrected).

After a quick schnoofle over the outside I want to check out our digs. Here I am bursting through the front door and nose to the slate exploring.

Here is the lounge room. Nice sofa.

Kitchen - all mum needs to keep the food comin'!

One of my fav rooms..... dining room!

Mum and dad's room.

2nd Bedroom - I hear a rumour that there might be another peep sleeping in here on night two! I wonder who that would be???

This pic shows my blue bed next to the pot-belly oven....very cozy indeed!

There is a little enclosed yard that you access through french doors from the dining room. That way we doggies can be contained if we need to...but the views are still amazing!

The views from the front verandah are awesome too!

Look at me.........I'm F-R-E-E-E-E!!

LOTS of stuff to sniff, taste and explore.

Having an outdoor cuddle with my ma....... thanks for bringing me along ma!!!!!

This is a lovely place - do we LIVE here now I wonder?

Mum's happy she has a pretty sunset to photograph..... and we snuggle down for the night in our cottage, pot belly warming us.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring????

Stay tuned for Part 2!
