Ready for camping

We're going to go camping soon, cause I'm going to do plenty of jumping at another trial. I pawed the place in on google, it's far! I won't be able to trot there and back overnight, we're going for a full weekend. So daddy and me will go camping! Ok mum you can tag along but just stay on this spot and don't disturb my daddy and me... We all prepared and the minions found a big tent for all of us. They looked how to put it up. Luckily I was there to help as they are pretty poorly coordinated. 

Now it's all good but there is only barely space for me and my bed, so I don't know where the minions will stay!? At least it's better than their previous lightweight two men tent, cause that was squishy and hot even in full winter in Orange, so we wouldn't have survived in "spring".

MY tent

We are all ready for some more fun adventures, yehaaaa, just need to find a teddy to scare the night monsters away....

Nawwww!

I'm away from my pup for the first time ever and I'm missing my trip hazard monster. I know it's sad, it's only a few days but we have our little routine together. Now I need to trust Martin to do my Rally-O training and other fun evening stuffs, :( sniff. To console myself, I had a look at some old pics and look what I found!

Look at that little baby Mawson's face, could you resist giving him a hug... Nawww

0:)

ps: they do have little vampire teeth in that cute little mouth at that age....

Neighbourhood watch

Let's check out what the neighbours are doing... I thought I heard some noise! Nope, not there, mmm better stay vigilant, never know what they are doing... 

And now I need to keep an eye on the other side's neighbours too. They are new and they are doing all sorts of things.... Maybe I should convince mum to go and see them? No! I won't growl at them... ok maybe just a little... ok ok I won't! Pffff, kill joy.

Car wash

I tried to help daddy wash the car today, but he didn't seem to appreciate the help! Don't know why, he can be so ungrateful sometimes.... I thought I was doing a good job pointing out the bits he had missed. I think he just can't take criticism. Yes, that's it!

It's still dirty there!

What The Friday?

Sometimes I despair a bit… Martin and I are both research scientist and right now, it's pretty hard to get grant fundings. Applications are lengthy and difficult, and the level of success is quite low, even if your submission quality is very good. But that's not the point here… or maybe it is a bit…
This morning while browsing the various "fine" journalistic efforts Australia has to offer (I can't decide on a paper I like so I browse a few…), I found an interesting feature relating the outcome of a certainly diligent and expensive piece of  scientific research. It certainly follows a previous effort that explains why you have recently seen people yawning in front of their dogs repeatedly…

Such fascinating topics make me wonder why I did so many years of study. They also make me rethink my choice of research topic… Maybe I got an idea for our next grant submission… *need to talk to my boss*
Mawson in any case was left unmoved….

Definitely anxious wouldn't you say?
