"Rein-DAWGS!!"

There I was..... minding my OWN biddiness yesterday afternoon... when my peeps started unloading the shed and bringin' up boxes and surrounding my napping spot on the couch with them. How's a dawg supposed to get quality naps around here??

Then dad dad opened a huge big box which he got all brand spankers new from the shops. His old tree was over 35 years old so mum and him thought it was time to get a new one. Mum started putting her pretty stuff on it. I was snoopervisin watchin' from the couch.

Then these three came out the boxes and mum lined them up so I could have a nice "Paws-Off" "familiarisation session." (Did your peeps have too much university Psychology trainin' too??...Geeezz) 

It wasn't "Paws-Off" for too long....

This little Christmas pengy was a little tempting for me....

Mum: NO.....RUBIE...... They are NOT YOURS...... you are not allowed to touch them...... if you do Santy Paws will see.... and you know what THAT means!!! So you have to show Santy Paws just how good you can be.....alright??

Crikey!!! I'm gonna have to watch my moves my furiends.... maybe try and control my stuffie urges until the 25th?!?! That's a LONG time!! This is gonna test me fur sure!

Mum says they are stuck put at the base of the tree.... to guard the presents..... like I guard the house.... HEY!!!! This tree is BLOCKING some of my watch-zone in front of the house!! Can you move it a little to the right ma?????

Cripes!! Just what do you call these mum????

Mum: They are called "Reindeers" Rubie. Aren't they cute??

They look more like "Rein-Dawgs" to me..... are they gonna be able to play with my tennis balls????

I knew it....... more useless tat decorations that just won't do much!

They won't even kick my ball ma!! What kinda dawgs do you call yourselves??!!

I'm just gonna sit here - and not CHEW ANYTHING..... until I see the mountains of presents that Santy Paws brings me.

How many sleeps to go??

Maiden Voyage in the "PKW" - Part 2 (final)

Hiya all,

Oh how I laughed at your clever comments...... I SHOULD have made my peeps sleep in the patio.... but we all squeezed onto the double bed in the end. I have, however, caused a little ruckus ..... I have made my peeps sleep "head to toe" because of mum's claw-stra-fobia! He he he..... 

Anywho, here is the low-down of Part 2 of our hollingday..... hope you enjoy it:

Here is my first dinner - made full use of George's gift to me....did I mention it is a pop-out bowl and made of silly-cone....no slips!

All this fresh air has boosted my appetite!

The walk-way on the beach esplanade was lovely.

We hit the beach with my black and white ball. I promised mum I wouldn't get wet and sandy.

Oooopsie!

I loved runnin' in and out of the shallows with my ball.

I enjoyed afternoon naps on my patio furniture.

Hey..... I think the neighbours are having snacks.... what should we partake in mum????

Oh yes, I am up for sharing some of what you got ma.....

Herby cream cheese on crackers......yum...... and those bits of Fritz are for me I hope??!!

(For those of you who do not know what Fritz is.....it's kinda a South Australian thing. The other states call it Devon..... but it's a processed cold meat...made out of mainly porky bits munched up! My mates Stella and Rory would know all about it!)

Don't mind if I do ma.......... I love camping!

We walked to the end of the river to watch the Sunset over the water. This lady is two vans up and she couldn't resist giving me some pats. She had just had her doggie leave for rainbow bridge so I made her a little sad.

OOoooo it's starting to look pretty!

Mum loves the lighting for her photos this time of the late afternoon.

That's me and dad dad.....in the middle ...

We went onto the beach for sunset..... I thought I could improve the pictures with my presence. Can you see me??

Pretty pink fluffy clouds.

This was the last day - I had to stay dry for this beach romp....

I met more furiends on the boardwalk. Mum didn't get a shot of this ones brother who was a labrador - he jumped into the river pretty quick!! BOL!

This was me in the car....and dad dad driving us home. The PKW was following close behind.

When can we do this again...... I LOVED camping!

Except on night two when it was windy..... and there was flapping noises from the patio..... but I settled down after a bit!

Sarge's Nickname Game

Hi all,


This is me crawling outa bed - suddenly realising that I've almost been caught napping instead of playing the "Nickname Game" that Sarge, Chief of Blogville Pawlice, has organised for us!


I have to fix my schnauzer brows and participate:

Is it morning already????

Sarge has kindly asked us to list our "nicknames" used most often by our peeps for us (who don't seem to be able to use the names THEY gave us!!). You then need to vote on which one you like the best, and our peeps have to use that name exclusively for us for a whole week!


Here's my list (in no particular order):


1. Boo - Boo :  Mum's favourite


2. Sausage:  Dad dad's favourite


3. Saus:  when he can't be bothered sayin' the whole word!


4. Sausage-Chops: you see the pattern?


5. Muffin-Head


6. Boo-Boo Bum-Bum (??!!)


7. Boop-a-choop


8. Woofa


9. Rubina !!! : This is the one where you get caught doin' stuff WRONG, or just bein' BAD!


10. Muffin-chops


11. Crocodillus: Given to me while snapping sharply at their fingers while they're giving me peep noms from the dinner table.




Please take a moment to pick which Nickname appeals to you the best and leave a quick comment.


Check out Sarge's blog to get all the details to this event, if you enter you need to get goin' - all posts need to be done by the 18th! If you are really LUCKY - you might just win a prize!!

Now that that's done......I could just crawl back under the covers!!! Ssssshhhhhhh!
