A HOT play-day!

Yesterday my cousins, Scarlet and Zoe (and their dad, my "uncie") came over. It was 43 degrees C (that's 109 F) and outside was melting! However, it just meant we had to get up to some good mischief inside together, not zoomies in the garden!

Here we are, a little hot, having just done a few "schnauzer blur" circuits of the family room.

Scarlet doing the "coy look" while modelling her summer stripy look. (For those readers who don't know, Scarlet had a little surgical procedure on her back on Friday - and she is wearing T-Shirts to protect the wound for a little while). She told me it is getting itchy!

ZOE: Rubie and I just did a garden zoomies and it is confirmed - we are stayin' inside today - the paving is hot enough to fry an egg! 

See how our tongues are hot!

SCARLET: Lucky auntie has bought us beef tendons for quality chewing! Nom Noms!

On a couple of occasions we ventured outside to bring in some sticks and mulches to chew on and decorate the family room. Mum wasn't crazy about that.

 These two photos show us after dinner, in the evening. As you can see we are EXHAUSTED! We certainly burn a lot of calories on Mondays. But the heat was ridiculous! 

I never get bored with Play-Day Monday

My cousins, Scarlet and Zoe came over again yesterday to play with me.

My mum bought me a new toy from the pet food store that morning - Lenny the Leopard cub. However, he makes a FUNNY sound when I squeeze him, and it scares me. When my cousins came over they helped me get over my fears, and we were playing with him lots.....but I'm still a little afraid of his noises.

Lenny the Leopard cub..... he kinda makes this weird muffled quacking sound!

Here's us playing "Hide your Face"! The flashy box is so tiresome sometimes....

Scarlet: My auntie provides us with the best chewy noms for our Mondays - she's so thoughtful!!

Zoe: (chew, chew, nom, nom, yummy!)

Mum thinks while we are chewing, we are not being naughty in her garden! But we fool her..... we do BOTH!!! Ha!

Uncie / dad has just gone out the front door and we are fixated on the fact. We wonder when he will return, and what he will bring us!

Zoe got bored with waiting, while Scarlet gets comfy and I continue to wait - coz he's my dad!

Oh oooh, here he comes - and we are getting excited even though he's not got anything for us - other than pats!

My uncie put me on the breakfast bar and I hung over into the kitchen - naughty but FUN! All in all another great play day. It's going to be super hot tomorrow, so I'll have the perfect excuse to sleep it off then! 

Mum will be "busy" watching the Australian Open tennis - so she's not doin' much either! 

Me and my Cousins

ZOE: Hey there, guess what day it is??? You got it! MONDAY PLAY DAY!!!! Scarlet and I just got here. Let the fun begin!

I love Mondays when my cousins come over - here we are having a three way schnauzer play with some of my toy basket stuff.

Then Zoe and I decided to get some organic grass matter from the garden, bring it in and tug and chew on bits of it together.....

Scarlet: I'd quit doin' that if I were you - you know auntie gets lines between her eyebrows when she sees you do that! Something about having to vacuum, clean... yadda yadda !

Ok then, let's take the fun outside - I'll race you to the stone steps Scarlet.... just check out my aerodynamic ear positions!

Scarlet: Very impressive, Rubie!

And when Zoe least expects it......I get ready to POUNCE on her!

And after a bit of "bitey face" we ponder what to do next. More garden stuff me thinks.

Zoe: Here is us doing our synchronised recliner snooze positions! We saw Sasha and Rupert doing this on their blog!

Scarlet: And we approve of Auntie's new crazy sheepskin patchwork thingys on the chairs - very comfy!

Scarlet: Hmmm, this chair has toys on it.....also good!

After dark, the humans and us went to the lounge room with the BIG flat screen for some TV viewing. My uncie is here contemplating eating a lemon shortbread cookie. I am also contemplating this...... and I SAY - LET'S EAT IT!!!!!!!!
