Guest list

I know it hasn't rained much at all during the whole winter. I know that the beginning of spring has been horrendous and hot, and we have had some dramatic bush fires already. So I can understand a lot of people have been praying for rain and wishing for a good down pour.

But really, could that have not been a bit more spread?? I can't even go out for my business lately, without asking mum to hold the umbrella! I've seen the minions empty the pool loads of times (ok lost count on my tootsies, got distracted by a pig's ear...). And the worst is, when it rains daddy keeps adding some nasty stuff in the pool so I can't go and swim :(.

Enough is enough, I'll have to start building an ark soon. Already made a start on a list of entry for the ark:

2 galahs (they can invite galah friends, just for the trip gnehehehe)
2 bush turkeys, oh yeah! not for long :O
2 rabbits, same as the bush turkeys really
2 possums
2 kangaroos
2 cans of tuna
2 lorikeets
2 flies (well I know they are annoying but I like to crush them on the glass with my nose)
2 worms (they are cool to roll into when they start to rot)
2 skinks (crunchy under the tooth)
2 cows or beef, or... yeah one of each, they can bring extra shinbones if they want too :)
2 pixies with big ears....
2 butterflies (they are just cute, euh ahem, that's just for mum, cause she likes them, not for me of course... I'm a big manly dog, ahem....)

So that's just the start of the list, will have to think of some more guests, cause I'm going to make a biiiig ark. Now, where is that hammer I saw dad with...?

 

(found those paws from my mate Jaxon's tweet, they are cute!)

Hard sunday...

Today was exhausting! Dad took me to the beach early to try and make sure I didn't meet a lovely dog that would open my back leg again. Had fun in there, played with some mates and dad got wet cause he didn't check the tide coming in... mwahaha. Then we came back home but it started raining, so I decided to snoozed as the minions were not very captivating. It's nice to snooze. But then I get a bit bored of snoozing, so the minions decided to work on some new tricks...
I've got a new trick myself... instead of listening to what they ask me, I do all the easy tricks in a row very quickly, that should be good enough for a treat, no? But they didn't seem impressed... they are a hard crowd to please! I had to listen and do the thing they wanted or they didn't give me anything, nothing, not a single tiny morsel, even though I busted all those moves, the rats....

Still, I succeeded to extract some pieces of chicken from their hard clutched hands after slaving away.  They seemed happy enough with their "training session". Life is so hard, let's go and chew my blanky to feel better. I do hope the rain will stop a bit tomorrow or they will continue with those tricks. As if I needed to know how to wave my paws to say goodbye!!!

if only.....

MA

Succeeded to get a pic of dad red-handed, relapsing into his addiction: mowing. You can see the grass is nowhere in need of a cut, but he still goes over. I can hear the blades of grass screaming in unison "not him again!". Maybe I should make him go to the MA (the mowers anonymous)? 

Worried about the minions' state

Mummy has been sick since monday. That's pretty easy to see because she's been sniffling, coughing, blowing her nose like a trumpet, sneezing... All day and all night too!! I can't sleep, she's keeping me awake.

So much so that we have started discussing options with daddy. You know you have to take in account the health and quality of life of the minions... you cannot let them continue on and let them suffer... We might have to bring mum to the vet and let her go peacefully... Dad says I am being dramatic and for now dad isn't agreeing with me. But I'm sure he'll come round eventually.

I have been a good boy in the meantime though, stayed next to mum while she was doing a rendition of a sickly dying person in bed, worthy of an oscar if you ask me.

To be fair, I'm also a bit concerned about the mental sate of dad. He's been buying books... So normally I don't mind, it's good for minions to have a bit of literacy, but that latest book's title is something about 101 tricks to teach your dog... What am I? A circus dog????
I take you all as witness of my abuse!

Mawson the cowboy trady

Mum just found pics she took from our last agility training at St Ives. It was sooooo hot. But Paris found a way of keeping cool. She dug herself a little hole where she could just fit in. She nearly disappeared. 

I'm jealous, I want a hole too! But I'm not allowed to dig, or mum is going to tell me off :( 

However, when she turned her back I created an extension to Paris' new house. She wasn't impressed because it was a bit bigger than her afterwards... And mum wasn't impressed either by my construction skills.

All I have to say is that girls are never happy, I was just trying to help... didn't want Paris to dirty her pretty little white paws... Grump, that will teach me to be a gentleman!
