Black Dog and Andy's for lunch

Today went to Black Dog and Andy's house for lunch. It was good to go for a long walk (it's a long way for a little dog) and Black Dog let me share his water bowl once we got there. It's such a big bowl, I could just about swim in it!

There were a lot of fun toys to play with there too. I think they mostly belonged to the cat - who, strangely enough, didn't show it's face while we were there.

Big Stick, Little Dog

You should have seen me today! Remember Black Dog's Visit last week? Well I was chasing AND fetching that very same stick today. Kerry tried to get footage but I was too fast and kept running into the camera - whoops!

Anyway, I was a pretty thirsty dog after all that stick chasing and was happy to be filmed whilst having a nice cool drink of water.

What paparazzi?

Strutting the Streets of National Park

I'm now a big dog! I can walk on my lead to the Post Office with Kerry.

It such a long way and there's just so much to look at. Sometimes Kerry has to carry me home though coz I get tired.

The Creek at Mooney's

I've just come back from the most wicked time next door. I found the creek in Mooney's back yard. It was so dirty down there that I had to go straight home for a bath.

Kerry says, "what a shame the camera wasn't handy".  I think I looked pretty shabby.

Check out my pose this morning though. I was playing with sheepskin from Nana. Apparently it's my Santa impersonation.  Whoever he is?

Taumarunui to the Vet

I went to the vet for my second time today.

First I had to climb on this big machine to get weighed (no problem for a big  guy like me).  Boy have I come a long way from my first trip to the vet! I now weigh a wopping 2.5kg!

The next part wasn't so much fun though.  I had to get another jab.  Not so happy about that!!  I cried :(

Black Dog's Visit

Today Black Dog and her owner, Andy, came to visit.

We had fun in the sun and Black Dog taught me how to chase a stick!  I had to hide a few times though.

My Drinking / Swimming Bowl

Today I realised just how much fun my water bowl can be!

Learning to Stay Home Alone

Over the last few days I've had to stay home for a while on my own. Usually I wait by the front window waiting to see Kerry's car pull up.

I don't really like it but I guess I'll get used to it. Kerry says I'll have to.

Home for a Spot of Gardening

Kerry wanted to do some gardening today so we headed to Ohakune to get plants.

I was allowed to help with the planting for a while. Until I started digging up yumming bits from the compost to eat that is!

Anyway, we now have a herb garden plus tomatoes, capsicum, lettuce and spinach on the go.

Home in the Bath / Shower

I had my first bath today. I'd already discovered the shower - not too sure while it's running but love getting in there afterward to drink the water on the bottom.

Anyway, back to the bath. What a hoot! Kerry got in with me so it wasn't too scary. I had my first swimming lesson - I think I'm getting the gist. I had a piece of polystyrene to float too.

Kirk Street - the big move

Kerry sure did have a lot to do today. She still managed to stop for cuddles and play though which I was happy about.

I really like our new house. My favourite thing is that it has windows that go nearly down to the floor which means I can see outside. That makes a big difference to a wee puppy's day I can tell you!

Vanda's for dinner

We're moving into Vanda and Roger's house in Kirk Street tomorrow so tonight we went to have dinner with them. I think I'm gonna like living there but I wish Vanda was staying coz she gives me lots of cuddles. Roger's cool too. He has great tasting feet!

Raurimu for Lou's birthday

Today was Louisa's birthday so we went to a bbq at her house in Raurimu.

I met a new doggie friend, Donnie, there. We had heaps of fun running around on the deck together. Donnie wasn't allowed inside which was a bit stink for him, but I wasn't allowed to got out off the deck to meet the other farm animals and he was so I guess we're even.

Some of the guys let off fireworks later. I wasn't too sure about those things. Some were quite loud and made me look. Lou's horses weren't too happy with the fireworks so they stopped lighting them and saved them for another day.

Taumarunui

Actually, I didn't go to Taumarunui. Kerry did! Man did that suck!

She put me in my pen with toys, food, water and even my bed! But it still sucked coz I wanted to go with her. Well actually, I just didn't want to be left alone.

By the time she got back I was crying so loud I'm sure the whole of National Park could probably hear me.

I got big cuddles and gave big licks in return then all was well again.

How could you leave this face?

National Park

We spent the day chilling at Nana's before heading back home to National Park.

We stopped in Remuera for Kerry to pick up a laptop she'd bought. I DID NOT like being left in the car!

Sandringham Market Day

We headed out the door early this morning and went to the Sandringham Market Day. Eva Williams was singing there with her school. She's got a good voice and it was fun to play around on the grass in the sun watching.

Next we went to the Simpson's place around the corner to play with Chloe. I had a really fun time with her. I got really wet while she and her daddy were washing Kerry's car then I hid in the garden and came out real muddy. Digging in dirt must be one of my all time favourite things to do I reckon!

I didn't want to leave Chloe but we were going to see her again in a few hours at Theo's 7th birthday party in Beachhaven. He was having a luau. That's what they call a party in Hawaii.

It was good to see Chloe again. And I met her big sister Sophie too! There were so many kids at that party I didn't know which toes to go after first. Kerry ended up putting my in my puppy pen so she could relax for a bit.

The Smiths for Sarah's 21st

Apparently I'm becoming quite the socialite. Whatever that means? Anyway, it has something to do with the fact that we went to Sarah's 21st tonight (that's Kerry's neice).

Not only did I meet the rest of the Wakelins, there were Attwoods and Smiths to meet as well. There sure are a lot of them and I was exhausted by the time Kerry took me home. All that playing and meeting new peeps sure does make a wee puppy sleepy.
