I went to my first bar today. Apparently a momentous occasion, although I don't really get it?
Kerry wanted to meet up with her old NZIS workmates for a drink at the Ponsonby Belgian Beer Cafe, and that's their old watering hole I guess.
I should also mention that today I had nasty little fleas biting me. Man they can drive you nuts pretty quick! Anyway, Kerry popped over the road to Animates in Albany and came back with some Advocate to kill them with. I wasn't so keen it at first coz it made them go even crazier, running all over me.
By the next day though they were staring to die off. Ha, ha! Gotcha!
I tell you what else happened though, I went No 2's (outside of course) and a big long worm came out. Yuk! It was as long as spaghetti! I guess it didn't like the Advocate I was given yesterday either, that's why it came out to die.

Auckland again
Back to Auckland again. I sure am getting good at this travelling in the car thing.
The first night we spent at Wharf Road with my mate Pipi. I was really pleased to see her again and hang out. She teaches me heaps of new stuff.
The next day it was off to Nana and Grandand's. I liked it there too. They have a great back yard that I can play in for as long a I want! I met Charlie there too. He's Ross', dog (that's Kerry's bro). I wasn't allowed to play with him yet though. We just had a doggy chat through the window.

Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu
Hard at work in Kerry's office
I was packed up this morning and taken up to work with Kerry at Whakapapa on Mt Ruapehu. I had to hide coz apparently dogs aren’t allowed up on Mt Ruapehu. Apparently kiwis (as in the birds) are pretty scared of us dogs. So they should be, I’ve been practising my best growl! (see DOC publication Saving our kiwi - Threats to kiwi)
I ended up at work with Kerry until Tuesday. I even crashed the end of season staff bbq at LBC! I spent most of the time tucked away asleep inside Kerry's jacket. Every now and then I'd poke my head out to check out the scene and meet new peeps.
I suspect that'll be the end of my trips up the mountain.

Hamilton and my first trip to the Vet in Taumarunui
Back in the cage and we’re off again. No dramas for me today though. I’m one cool customer at riding in the car now.
We stopped in Hamilton to pick up someone called Molly. I’m glad we did coz I liked Molly and she let me sit on her knee or by her feet rather than staying in the cage. I think Molly’s gonna mind me while Kerry’s at work tomorrow. Yay more Molly cuddles (not to be confused with moddley coddling)!
I nearly forgot, we stopped at Taumarunui to meet my vet at the Taumarunui Vet Clinic. She was nice and I was really brave. Injections? I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
I got weighed too - 1.62kg!

Auckland with my new owner, Kerry
I met Kerry today. In fact we went from just meeting to suddenly spending every moment together all in one day!
My mum Tui with some of my siblingsBefore I even got the chance to miss my whanau (mum, dad, bro, step bro and sis) we were winding our way through the Herekino Gorge. That upset my tummy a bit and I cacked. Kerry stopped and cleaned me and my cage up before I got the chance. Didn’t taste too bad the second time around I thought.
It sure did seem a long time in that cage, but I guess it wasn’t so bad. Kerry was playing some great tunes (but not too loud) and I slept most of the way. Coz that’s what puppies do! And, I had Panda with me. I was allowed to take him with me with I left my home.
Me with PandaWe made a quick stop in at Albany to meet my new nana and grandad. I was a bit shy and first and didn’t want to get out of my cage. I was busting though and my urge to go got the better of me very quickly.
No sooner had I done my business, made my mark, whatever you want to call it, I was back in the cage I’d become so familiar with in such a short space of time. Not for long this time though …
Next stop was Wharf Road in Herne Bay. Kerry used to live here so we’re staying the night.
Cool!! I got to meet Pipi. She lives here and was happy for me to come and stay and her house. She had to teach me a few rules first which I guess was fair enough. She taught me to bark too! Although I need a little more practice and growing before I get to sound quite so grown up!
I tried to sleep in my cage on the first night away from my mum but I was a bit scared and cold so I got into bed with Kerry. I do love my cuddles and I think Kerry does too so that’s cool. I get the feeling that Pipi was a miffed about not being allowed to stay on Kerry’s bed that night.
