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!

Checkers

 

Vivisting Suzuki

Hello pups -  I am posting for Checkers this morning as he is off to Western Australia for Tahlia's birthday and a visit with  his love Suzuki -  there is a letter below for the little guy -  but, in the meantime he wanted me to share a couple of photos before he left  .

Here he is getting his luggage packed for the trip.

This is the gang on the plane with Scruff - Scruff was so nice to do this for Tahlia and her brothers and their friends.

Now, here's Checkers' letter I received this morning

Hey Mom - Thanks for letting me "borrow" the I-Phone -  it's the only way I've been able to  keep in touch with my pup pals.    I'm ver busy so I'm hoping you will post this for me.... Suzuki took me surfing today and now we are just spending some quality time on the lounge waiting for her Dad to get home.

Suzi's  Mummy said you can share these photos with my friends if you like because she is not sure when she will be able to post all the photos.  

Suzi's package that we mailed arrived about 5 minutes after we did.   Gives new meaning to the term "snail mail"  - I should have just brought it with me!     I don't think her Mum got any photos of me watching her open it though because I was outside at the time (long flight you know...)  I miss you.

Checkers  - xoxoxoxox

PS - remember to ask people to vote for my wiggle walk at Mason Dixie's Site

Well, pups,  I suppose I will get more later - but it looks like they are certainly having a pawsome time.......I miss my little guy but it's important that he experience the world.

Can You Play KeepAWAY and another award

We aren't doing TRUE COLORS today - rainbow was just too much for us! I'm getting ready to head off to Western Australia for a week-end with my love, Suzuki - I am waiting patiently for the arrival of Scruff - however, yesterday morning I spent a little time playing with daddy -

TANK

Yesterday mom was in one of her moods - crying at almost everything - you know like kodak commercials - She was also busy trying to book entertainment for an upcoming festival in the area so she spent a big part of the day calling alot of the performing artists she used to represent back when she was an important agent. I think that's what got her into her mood - all that reminiscing - Somehow she managed to talk several of her old clients to consider a date in June at drastically reduced fees - so you'd think she would have been happy rather than sad!!!!!!!
here's a little silly video - it's not exciting I'm just protecting my elephant!

Playing Ball Gets You Very Hot and Leaves Your Tongue Hanging

I played ball in the park with daddy - it was a lot of fun and very HOT!!!!

do you think my daddy loves me or what?

look at me run

just plain worn out!!!!!!!!!

now...why not drop by Suzuki's blog and say hello to her mom who is not feeling well and to Scooby who is still bleeding from his man parts!

I told you it was HOT and a little wiggle walk....

Can you guess what made my tongue hang out like that?

stay tuned - video explanation will post tomorrow!

This is my wiggle walk for MASON DIXIE's Wiggle Contest - but mom said daddy I were walking too fast for her to keep up......it's a little grainy

Summer Is On The Way

Summer is definitely on the way - yesterday it was in the 80's. The guest house faces Northwest and it gets VERY warm in here so it's time to get the airconditioning started. The pollen is also VERY bad and mom is having a lot of trouble with headaches so she's been a bit unhappy...she takes her Zyrtec but she is still suffering - maybe she should just try my children's Claritan :-)

We had a short visit to the lake - there weren't a lot of people around when we were there so daddy took my leash off - I sooooo like to get that thing off.
