Guest (Cousin) Post: Meet Our Friend Hattie!

Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling particularly lazy unmotivated today...so I'm going to hand over my bloggie to my cousins, Scarlet and Zoe. They want to introduce you to their furend.

Don't make fun of my "bed head" ....oh...I mean "bed woozle"!

Scarlet: Hi Ya! Meet our furend Hattie! She's an Airedale Terrier - look how big she is!!

Hattie: How Ya doing?? Pleased to meet you!! 

Scarlet: We are over at her digs, because my dad dad has packed the buzzy clipper thingy, and Hattie is gonna "cop it" He He He........

Hattie: UUUUrrrrcccchhhh..............(*mental note to self*) : should have locked the front gates today. 

Scarlet: This is Hattie after enduring HOURS of the buzzy clipper thingy!!

Hattie: It's OK for you girls.....you got to chew bones on the grass while I was being tortured!! But hey, don't I look slimmer with my winter furs off!! Pretty No??

Zoe: Isn't it hard to get a good picture of all three of us together? Here you can see uncie M's knee and foot, he's Hattie's dad dad! 

Hattie: Check out my yellow ball - it is showing evidence of my "jaws of steel"!!!   :-)

Scarlet: Here we are trotting through the "toy infected" family room - Hattie has a baby peep sister who plays with lots of colourful things...... a bit like us really!

Hattie: That's when she is not playing with me!

Hattie: Do you like this angle??

Zoe and Scarlet: Yes we do - so where are all the "good girl" treats for making it through the buzzy clipper thingy!!??

Hattie: Scarlet - you already got into the bread that we were saving for the ducks!!

Scarlet: Well I was hungry.... and it was........ reachable!! (*licks chops*)

Hattie: Listen up, we need to try and bust through the little gate to get to the food room..... are you in??

Scarlet: Let's give it a go!

Zoe: Ok everyone, we are going to go and get our treat rewards now.....Hattie says there are foodables on the other side of the little white gate!

Hattie, Scarlet and Zoe: Let us in, Let us in!!!! We want treats!! We want treats!!

Scarlet: Geez, service is slow around here!

Scarlet: If I sit here looking all cute..... do you think the magic gate will open???

Hattie: I hope so! If I can get in there I can reach anything that is on top of those counters, and can even reach into quite a few shelves in that there pantry cupboard.....(*winks*)

Scarlet: Now I would like to be able to do that!! Being short is sometimes a DRAG!!

Thanks for that post Scarlet and Zoe...........and it was lovely meeting Hattie. I need to meet her in the fur one day! Now all I have to say is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!

Play-Day.... the good and the B-A-D!!!

Another Monday, Wooo-Hoooo! Cousins Scarlet and Zoe and my uncie came over yesterday.

First, I will share with you some of the GOOD stuff:

Mum gives all of us some good Yummo chews to chew on, Nom Nom.

We get stuck into games and lots of bitey face, especially me and Zoe.

Uncie then picked me up and brought me into the swirling water box room, and brought out his toolbox, and soon there was buzzing and tickling noises on my ear...... HANG ON! I'm GETTING A HAIRCUTS!!!!  BAD, VERY BAD!!

More BAD - the cutting gets into full swing :-(

Apparently the humans now think I'm the new improved model of Rubie! I must say, the world is clearer now that I don't have hair blocking my vision.

Scarlet: I felt for ya mate when dad pulled hunks of hair out of your inner ears.....oooowwwwccchhh! I was helpless to assist! You took it like a trooper but.

Zoe: Hey Rubie, it wasn't just you, yesterday our dad cut Scarlet and I - and then - my beard got a shorter trim just after you were finished!! So I had two shots with the buzzy thing!!!!

Scarlet: I hate haircuts too! Dad reckons we get too hot and gather too many sticky stuffs in our furs in the warmer weather, so our hairs get cut fairly severely.....(sigh) (NB: see my new dagwood dog toy romping outside in Scarlet's photo.)

This is a photo of us at the end.... waiting for our "good girl" treats to cushion the blow of such hair cutting trauma. We do look good, don't we!! (Dagwood dog getting back into the shot)

Zoe: Well there is someone who doesn't look too good anymore - Rubie's new squeaky dagwood dog toy got somehow outside and rolled himself in the garden mulch - I'm sure we had NOTHING to do with it! 

Mum loves this photo of me though...... I am kinda gorgeous - even if they did chop off my hairs!!! Whadayareckon??
