Sunday Morning (28/12/08) Walk

The dogs always look forward to an adventure on Sunday mornings. So we pack them into the car and take them to an isolated bush spot somewhere and off we go. With the wet starting, there are fewer places that are not under a foot or more of water and therefore a crocodile playground, but we always manage to find a trail. Notice how green the bush is now compared to a few weeks ago when all was brown and gold.

Also the pics show a scene we never thought we would see, the Red dog trotting happily along OFF LEAD!!!! He doesn't really listen very much better than he ever did in so far as coming when he is called. The major difference now is that he is 77 and I am only 64 so I can out run him, hehehehe!!!





The Town Dog is as gorgeous as ever! Before she came to live with us, the Aboriginal kids called her "Barbie Girl" and by golly, she is as glamorous as Barbie, except when she is rolling in a mud hole which is one of her favorite things to do.



Here I am doing my best Cesar Millan imitation, running with my pack!



But, truth be told, here is the real leader of the pack!

Merry Christmas 2008

This is our 10th Christmas together, it is hard to believe! So in honor of the occasion I have scanned the 1998 pic (pre-my-digital days) and this years. The first was taken on the deck of our little house in Parramatta and this one in the back yard in Jabiru. There is a monsoon hanging about so the sky is overcast and a bit dreary, not to mention the humidity of about 95 and temps to match! I notice Ian's beard and Bird's muzzle are different colors these days, I of course haven't aged a day, heheeh!!! Rooey was there in 1998 but was sitting at my feet so we missed him in the photo so I will attach one of him from Parramatta as well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FROM KAKADU NATIONAL PARK
IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA!!!

Town Dog at Work

I hate to admit it, but this new pup is always the center of attention these days. Here she is, hard at work!
