Our Easter

Hiya all,

I wanted to tell you a little about our Easter. We went to Grandpaws place on Easter Sunday. 

I was waiting very patiently at the table for my share of the Easter goodies. Zoe was getting ready too by licking her lips!

Mum baked lemon shortbread cookies for us.

***Whaddayamean "NO"!***

Grandpaw and auntie bought us these!

***What! We CAN'T have these either????***

So what is next??

OOhhhh goodie!!! Our dessert is served!!!

***NO!?!  Not THAT either!!!!!!***

***Sheesh!!!!!!!!!***

SCARLET: AAaaaa Rubie - Here is something that I reckon we can get a taste of..... quick -  look cute!

Confit Duck Leg.......

YAY - we dawgs got a taste of that....AND some roast pork....and some carrot and beans!

FINALLY - an Easter treat just FOR US!!

UUuuummmm - mum baked Easter Cookies just for us - Scarlet gives a preliminary sniff to make sure.

They were good my furiends!!!! Didn't last LONG.... but we all got to take some home for later too!

Get those crumbs off your face Zoe !!

Hope you all had a nommy, yummers Easter! I am just SO HAPPY that mum forgot to put those embarrassing Easter Bunny Ears on my furry head! Win to that!!

Happy Easter ( it WAS!)

We went to Grandpaws' place for Easter Sunday. We met my Auntie and Uncie, along with Scarlet and Zoe there.

Me, Scarlet and Zoe - admiring the Easter Table Setting.

If you look close - you can see OUR doggie "easter egg cookies" mum made special for us given we cannot eat chocolate ones. They are this side of centre in little cello bags with gold ribbons. They are "chicken satay with seeds" flavour.

Mum and auntie prepared lunch - they had creamy potato bake, roast pumpkin, roast pork and gravy, duck confit with sour cherry sauce and buttered parsley carrots. It's smelled so yummers!!!

My eyes were firmly on that duck and pork!!!

After peep lunch, and our sampling, we each got a doggie "easter egg" - mum made them all pretty with stickers and stuff.

ZOE:    OOOoooooo peel the eggies auntie!!!!!!!! Quick!

So mum peeled them - one by one (far too slowly for our liking) - and we each got a whole easter egg to nom.

I woofed mine down.

Zoe Zoes was next.

And then Scarlet got hers - see how dainty she takes her pieces. Not like me - mum has to be careful she doesn't lose a finger with my technique!!

All of a sudden - uncie, mum and I went outside - and I suddenly got nervous because there was grooming equipments set up.

So I got my hairs trimmed    :-( 

Mum says I really needed it because I couldn't see through my eyebrows anymore. What would she know!!

I got to play at "half time" with my cousins to blow off some pent up "steam" from standin' on the groomin' table.

See my face not done yet - and my peeps think the "tassle" on the end of my tail is "CUTE" - I pointed to the breed grooming expectation of a mini schnauzer and there is nothing like this goin' on!! My mate Magic's mum will tell ya! It's sooo hard to get good help.

ZOE: Hurry up with your hair cut Rubie - I am waiting for sweets to be served!!! 

The peeps had their sweets (white chocolate and passionfruit mousse) served inside chocolate eggs!!! You can get the full recipe from mum's personal blog (link in my sidebar) - it will go up shortly.

Us doggies had some chicken satay egg cookies - sorry mum was too occupied doin' dishes and stuff to get the pics. Dad dad gave them to us.

When I got home - I just wanted to snooze on my couch with my new Chicken easter Stuffie. 

I just want to say - even with the hair-cut - that was a great day, and I hope your Easter was as Happy as MINE was!!!!! (minus the grooming bit of course!)

Tail Wuggles, Rubie xxx ooo xxx

Get Ready - Easter is almost HERE!

Hiya all,

I participated in this Easter themed photo shoot because I did not see any novelty bunny ears amongst the props mum collected. I thought I was safe.

Oh how WRONG I was. (*sigh*)

This photo shoot is goin' to cost you a bucket load of Liver Treats mum ....... Just sayin'!

Yes - I can keep my "ears" on while lying down...

Ooooooo...... you say I can't have any of the chocolate stuffs, but the chicken stuffie is ALL MINE !!!! Woo Hooo !!! 

Ah Ha!!! The catch is I can't have it till SUNDAY??!! Story of my day ma!!! (*Humph*)

Hey DAD DAD !!!!!! Save ME!!! Surely ma had a BAZILLION photos of me already!!! It's time for my walk isn't it!!!!!!!!!

NOW THIS is what I think of Novelty Bunny Ears......and ma.... I'm a SCHNAUZER, that's a dog, NOT a Bunny Rabbit!!!!

We are going to Grandpaws' for Easter on Sunday - and there are going to be treats on offer for Scarlet , Zoe and me. I can't wait. I'll post the pictures.

Have a GREAT EASTER everyone !!!!!!!!

PeeS: I want to send a special HAPPY EASTER to my beautiful peep relatives in Sweden - they'll be readin' this post!!!! xxxx ooooo xxxx

Easter Sunday

Hey everyone.....today is Easter Sunday and we went to Grandpaws' for the day. It's a very special Easter because it is also my mum's Birthday!!!  I gave my mum a very special gift and she got all choked up when she opened my card..... I'll show you!

The envelope

Front of Card

Inside the Card.... My dad helped with the production of my card - I don't know how to use photo paper yet!

I'm very pleased that she liked it!          Back to Easter at Grandpaws':

This is MY Easter haul, mum promised me eggs - and I also got bunny cookies, and a yoghurt and a carob bunny!! All the bunnies were from "The Woofery" my favourite doggie bakery. Can't wait to get stuck in!

While waiting for Scarlet, Zoe and uncie to arrive - I got some quality time in with my auntie. A little more scritchin' to the left, auntie!!

Guess who burst in!!?

Once my cousins arrived, we got beefs ribs bones to nom on. This is Scarlet with hers.

Zoe gettin' amongst it.

Yummers.....

We were not the only critters havin' a feed outside.... check out these birdies that were nomming on Grandpaws' palm tree! See how pretty they are!

Ohhh..... lunch is served!!! Whadaya mean it's not FOR US!!!

OK - we will wait nicely for our turns at eating! Humph!!

Now it's our turn...... mum's peelin' our yellow eggies. As you can see I'm tryin' to speed the process along.... PEEL WOMAN!!!!!! We had to sit through all your duck and pork and stuff!!!

Zoe doin' quality assurance of our eggies!

ZOE: Ummm, yummers - keep peelin' auntie!

Yea finally - we all got to eat the eggies..... and it was my first ever boiled egg!

OMD........CAN YOU BELIEVE YOUR EYES????!!!! This is mum's Birthday Cake! She wishes to share with you this close up:

Taaaaa Daaaaa! Three layer almond meringue, with lemon curd, mango slices and vanilla thick cream. Oh - and she wants me to tell you there is almond praline on the top. She a clever mum - making her own Birthday Cake! Now hand some over!!!!!!!

Well - if we can't have some cake..... let's crack into those bunny cookies then!!

Here I am again - showing extreme patience and helping mum take it out of the cello bag.

YUMMERS - WE APPROVE OF THESE!!!!!!

So that was my first Easter, and the first Easter that ever fell on my mum's birthday - she hopes it doesn't happen again. Grandpaw felt a bit sorry for her having to do all the cooking and stuff today - so we are all going out to a Thai Restaurant on Wednesday! We furry girls just have to find a way to sneak in with the humans!!!!

Wherever you are, if you celebrate Easter - make sure you have a GREAT ONE! 

Pee S: My FIRST Barkday is VERY SOON.... and I can't wait to eat MY CAKE!!!!
