INTERnational TACO DAY !!!!!!!!!

Hiya all,

Scarlet and Zoe came over to help me Celebrate the 4th of October!!!!! No it's not the DATE ..... IT'S .....

*** SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF-TOPS!!!!!! ***

INTER-National TACO DAY !!!!!!!!!

OMD!!!!!

You see - Blogville LOST a dear dear Scottie Furiend not that long ago - our sweet JAZZI - and Jazzi always hosted International Taco Day on the 4th October of every year to celebrate the delectable BEAUTY of the HUMBLE TACO. She LOVED them so much.

 Jazzi's Family agreed to continue the Taco Day tradition - so we can honour her and the time she spent doing so much in Blogville. Thank dogness. We have also been asked to share a memory that means so much to us about her and her bloggie.

There is so much to choose from ... but something that was special was around the time of her Birthday in 2012. Jazzi's Mom is very crafty(in the craft sense) and talented in making stuffs. There was a HUGE explosion of Tye-Dye stuffs that Jazzi's Mom made and Jazzi supervised ... and they together decided to give the items away for her Birthday!! I was lucky enough to win a Tye-Dye PLATE (in my favourite colour) - I was so EXCITED!!! In Jazzi's honour I will ONLY eat my TACOS off Jazzi's plate for ever and ever more!

This is a picture of the Plate Pawcel after it arrived at my home back in 2012:

   Flash-Back!

(Hand the Pawcel over and no buddy will get hurt!!)

So I let the "cat out the bag" and told Scarlet and Zoe that we HAD to be very good girls during our PHOTO-SHOOT (Mum wanted some up-dated pics of us togethers) - so we could get into our TACO DINNERS for Jazzi!

Out comes my PLATE .....

First we got a "lite" tortilla - then it got topped with beefs and lentils.

Then Red Capsicum

White cabbage

Finally grated carrot. (I can't have grated cheese anymore because it makes me sickies)

Alfresco eating for TACOS!

Here's to YOU Angel Jazzi!!!! We know you are watching!

We LOVE International TACO day!!

ZOE: OMD!!!!!! These are really really PAWSOME!!

ZOE: SCARLET!!!! I believe THAT TACO SHELL is MINE!! Get it out your mouth NOW!!!

Scarlet and Zoe really enjoyed their TACOS .... but what is going on over at the Peeps Table?????

LOOK!!!!

Even the PEEPS had International TACO DAY!!!! 

On a serious note:

We **LOVED** you JAZZI .... and were VERY SAD to hear you had to go over the Bridge.

Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN!

We KNOW you are eating TACOS 24/7 now.

PKW Hollingday (Port Vincent) Pawt 2 (Fish edition)

Thankyou for all your lovely comments - you feel like you are right with me on my Hollingday don't you!! Here's the second report for you:

Here is me helping uncie K with some early morning fishing. I'm checking his perimeter to make sure there is nothing nice and smelly he is missing.

Some mornings auntie B helped with the fishing.

This is sunrise ..... I know what you are thinking ..... my pawrents are usually being lazy and sleeping through all the sunrises. But mum says this is proof that they can be up early. After all... the pelicans and seagulls are already up and flying around!!

See what my clever aunt and uncie caught! And there were a couple more yellow fin whiting a little later too. If you think you are having a bad day ..... think about what happens to these fish next!!

After lunchtime that day - dad dad, mum and I were walking into town and we walked past the surf club and boat ramp.

We noticed this little boat (whose peeps and beagle are staying in our caravan park) up on the sand and both peeps were huffing and puffing trying to slide the boat lower into the water.

The boat was STUCKS my furiends. So mum, dad dad and I stopped and we helped huff and puff and push the boat in! Well - my furiend the beagle and I didn't do much pushing .... there are limitations you know! Don't you just LOVE his little yellow lifejacket??!!

Anywho the man (The Dutchman) and his wife ( a real nice lady) were very very grateful for all our help.

Whew - eventually we got that boat back in the water and the beagle got lifted in there by lifejacket handle on his back!! His little head is peeking out (look at his mum's left arm area). We waved them off!

There they go...... Happy Fishing!!!!

Later on that afternoon - the Dutchman (and wife and beagle) came back and see that wire bucket he is holding? .... It contains freshly cooked blue swimmer crabs. They turn red when cooked and he was going down to the shoreline to clean the gunk outa them.

Guess what the nice Dutchman brought us!!?? Yep he brought us some yummers crabs (cooked and cleaned) .... and .....

some fish (snook) fillets - all caught because my peeps helped push their boat in the water!!! As you can see my peeps wasted NO TIME in arranging the FISH FEAST that very night. Mum fried up the snook in butter and oil ....

And, auntie B fried her fish (salmon, yellow fin and Tommy ruffs) too. Dad dad made potato cakes on the BBQ and mum tossed a mixed french salad.

Can you see me trying to bust in on the FISH action!! Uncie K was trying to sit down but I had other ideas!!! He he!

My peeps thought they were "King of the Castle" my furiends. Eating fresh caught fish while over looking the ocean. "Heaven" they said. And I can confirm ...... the fish was yummers indeed!! (*winks*)

Later on in our stay .... auntie B caught this squid off the town jetty. It's very black because it hasn't squirted out all it's black ink yet. That happened after our photo.

Here I am in the van doorway - practising my "High Fives" with my mum ..... I really like doing this. Mum thinks it's time to trim my nails when she saw this picture! 

To finish off my "Fish Edition" post ..... here is a picture of our Fish and Chips dinner another night which we ate at the Town Gazebo overlooking the swimming bay. (I will be swimming here later - post to come!!)

And of course - here I am doing my QA on the fish (after mum picked off the batter of course!) She looks after my figure!!

So stay tuned my furiends..... more action packed Holliday reports to come!!

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!!!!
