Hi Mom - I'm Coming Home

Found this email from Checkers when I got up this morning - 

Hey Mom -  I wanted to get this off to you before the plane takes off - not sure if I'll get service in the air!!!!!

Rambo, Lady and I are headed back to the states...... we've had a blast!  But Rambo and I have a bit of a hangover - hope you don't mind!  Those Aussies like their beer!

Lady has been obsessed with Scooby's illness so I'm not sure if she had such a great time pawting as we did, but she sure was happy to be with Scooby.   She was by his side 24/7 - going to the vet and keeping a close eye on his bleeding.   Apparently he will have to have come changes in his diet!  But I'm sure his loving mom will keep a close watch on that just as you do for me.   He is wearing a  collar to keep from licking himself - poor guy -  so it was hard for him to kiss Lady -  but she is very understanding.

This surfing is incredible.  Suzi is magnificent -  I bet she could win a contest doing this.  She said I was a natural but I think it was probably just "love talk"  -   But, just in case I really am a good,  can I get a boogie board when I get home?

Talia was so excited -  she was bouncing off the walls and keeping the neighbors and their dogs up.  
BOL -  Rambo thought that was hilarious and egged her on...even chimed in occasionally.    You'll be glad to know that Suzuki and I behaved and did NOT encourage their bad behavior...we were too busy being in love.   Miss Shannon finally got them to settle down by putting them to bed -  TOGETHER - and they got to go to the big human bed.  Cool huh?

Miss Shannon was quite the chef - The menu for the evening was:

Dinner:
A serving of biscuits each
A hamburger from Hungry Jacks each (known as Burger King in the USA)  - yes I ate the beef - but I'm doing okay!
Ice Cream Cake (one slice each)
and a large variety of treats throughout the evening
Breakfast:
Toast
Bacon
Eggs
Tahlia also had a side dish of mouse  - I'm not sure why they served mouse as I never saw any cats!

Rambo  was checking things out and saw what Midget was posting -  he was not thrilled that she was "taking over"   so I would advise her to hide away for a bit upon his return.   

This kangaroo came up trying to tease Scooby since he was "indisposed"  - 
 But don't worry, Rambo and I took care of him   - this is a picture of him after the encounter!

I understand that TANK  has doubts about our visit -  tell him we will talk upon my return -  I'll try to Tweet him in a bit.

All in all it was a delightful week-end - although I think that Miss Shannon is totally  "pupped out" -  She probably did way too much with that bad back

I will have more pics for you when I get home and I'm sure Miss Shannon will send you some too.

See  you later.....love you much!   Give daddy and Livy some licks for me!

  10. Hello my love
    Please let me know when you arrive safely. Oh, and Mum said she found some "drunken pics" of you and Rambo. Something about Kanaroo races? I must have been asleep.
    Big licks to you
