New Drawings

Also, in the time I've not been posting I've drawn two new drawings:

Declan:

And Max:

Hello Again

Well it seems that I haven't posted in ages...... I'm not going to do a gigantic post of everything that's happened, I'll just post the whole thing in a big load of photos. So, here's what I did...

Went to my friend's house and saw Max.. 

..and Rusty

Tried Dusty off leash in the paddock

And he discovered a snake.... Lovely...

That he was obsessed with, unfortunately

Had Christmas

Played with our toys a lot

Went to the same friend's house again, who has an awesome doormat

Went to the beach with Dusty, who hates waves

Lucy loved it though

And Jock

Around this time I got an underwater camera.... 

Went swimming in the river

Played with more toys

Went to the river again

Dusty got brave in the water.. He looks like he's drowning :P

Taught Dusty to bow

Had a visitor

Lazed around

Played with sticks

Took silly close ups of Dusty

Discovered the culprit of the mysterious hole in the backyard

Got flooded (it's up to 8m by the way)

Found a bat inside

Made Dusty obsessed with bubbles! :D

So that's pretty much it.... Sorry again for not posting for ages, it just got to that stage where I was scared to post because it had been so long.. :P

Walkies in the Paddock

Today we went for a little walk in the paddock with the dogs. I was thinking that Dusty was getting a bit better with sticking close to us, so I tried having him running semi-free. That is, the leash still attached but I'm not holding it. He did very well!
This meant that I could get better pictures of him and the other dogs. There's still the lead in the photos, but at least I can see his face, not just his butt! Here are a few of the doggies:

Jock had fun playing with sticks the whole time, as usual :)

I got a beautiful photo of him. It's probably the best photo I've ever taken of Jock. He looks like a real farm dog, with the cows in the background :)

And to finish up, before and after photos of Lucy Boosy.

Before (clean):

After (MUDDY!!):

It isn't the muddiest that she was on the walk. She dried off a bit before I took the photo.

Dusty's Stripped!

I didn't realise how long it's been since my last post until today. I was a bit disappointed in myself, so I hope now I'll be back and blogging regularly again. I will try and get to all of your blogs and comment soon, too.

So summer is upon us. It would be a bit mean to leave Dusty in his winter coat, because of the temperatures it can get to in summer. So I've stripped him. He looks so different!

Before:

After:

In the 'after' photo, his leg isn't quite done yet, but you can see the massive difference! He looks so tiny now, compared to before. He had a very fluffy butt for a while, but I eventually finished it off and he looks nice and smooth now.

I'm on holiday for a few days, in Hobart, Tasmania. So nothing exciting with the dogs is going to be happening in the next couple of days.
