The Adventures of (the) Hypo Dog(s): We're Baaaack!!! (Part 1... the trip)

Hey Everyone,
Sorry we didn't post for so long but with our trip to get to our new house, Telstra (phone company) stuffing up the broadband connection and Mum and Dad looking for jobs I haven't been able to get onto blogger to post - but this will be a long post to make up for it ok?

So... On the 21st of April we set off on our trip from our old house. Carbi and I were squished into the back of the car, on top of all the stuff we needed on the trip and in the new house until our furniture arrived. Nana and Pop drove in Pop's car.

We drove to Mittagong and stopped at a park there. Carbi and I wanted to play with the ducks but Mum, Dad, Nana and Pop wouldn't let us!!

We then got into the car again and went to Yass for Lunch. The grass around Yass needed lots of rain... it almost looked grey! There were lots of cow dogs and horse dogs and sheep to look at.

After Yass we got in the car again (can you see the trend yet?), and drove to Gundagai were we saw a dog sitting on a tuckerbox.

It wasn't really that interesting (see Carbi is yawning), but then we went for a walk around and found the dog toilet which WAS interesting!

If you want to know why there is a statue of a dog here... read this poem (you will have to click on the photo to make it bigger to read). It's a bit rude... just warning you!
After thoroughly checking out the doggy toilet we got back in the car again! Before we drove anywhere Dad spotted a kitten and Mum got out to check it was ok. It ran away and she said that there was a house nearby and that it might live there. Carbi and I were yelling at her to catch it for our dinner!!!

~This is the stuff we got to look at most of our trip... not much there!!~

We finally got to the place we were spending the night. It was a town called Holbrook. We stayed in a cabin and we could hear these big thuds against the house every so often. Nana and Pop looked and said it was big moths. In the morning, Mum took me outside to go to the toilet and we had to walk for a while because all the trees were occupied! Look what was around them...

We drove from Holbrook to Woodonga to do a home visit at a mans house. He has applied for a Paws for Diabetics dog and we had to check his house was safe. His house was in Victoria so we went there and then came back to NSW to have lunch with Nana and Pop. We then went back into Victoria and drove to Seymour where we had a break at a park. The park had this man in it. I don't know what has happened to him but he was stuck like this.

We drove more after this ... past more of this....

And into Melbourne... the capital of Victoria. We stayed in a motel in the middle of the city.

The next morning we went on a tram. Mum and Dad had to carry Carbi and me onto the tram cause it was an old tram and the steps were high.

We went to a park and then Carbi and I turned into Giants!!!

~See how big we are and how small that house is! Fe Fi Fo Fum....~

After we turned back to normal size, we went to a cafe and had lunch.

~"Please can I have some food??"~

The cafe had bowls of water for puppies to drink out of. After lunch we got back on the tram and went to an old Gaol. It's called Richmond Gaol. We had our pictures taken in the cells.

After this we got in the car again and drove to pick up another car! The other car was a blue Morris Minor called Daphne and Nana and Pop had gotten it to Melbourne on the back of a truck. We are borrowing it for a while. After that we all drove back to the city and to a funny place Mum called a Wharf. There was a big building there that Mum said was a boat. This is the building/boat.

We drove into the building/boat and parked the car. Mum got our stuff out and we went to meet Dad and Carbi who had driven onto the boat in our other car. We went upstairs and found our room. Mum and Dad watched TV for a while and we went to sleep.

~This is us on the building/boat... it was cold and windy outside~

In the morning Mum and Dad kept telling us that we could go to the toilet in this room...

I haven't gone to the toilet inside for a VERY long time and I wasn't about to start. However, Mum calls me a camel and I can hold on... but Carbi has only just learnt not to go inside and is not very good at holding on yet. By the morning he was very sad. He REALLY needed to go to the toilet but couldn't go inside no matter what Mum and Dad said.

See how sad he was. He was shaking and crying. In the end they let the people who didn't have cars off the building/boat first so Dad took Carbi and walked off to get to a toilet for Carbi. This meant that Mum and I took our car, Pop drove Daphne and Nana drove Pop's car. When we drove off the building/boat we were somewhere different!!! I don't know what happened but we were in Tasmania!! I didn't know that buildings could move!! There was lots of water under this building so maybe that's why we could move!? That or it was magic... I actually think that it was magic but I wonder what everyone else thinks.

We drove into a shed and Mum had to get out and let a man look in the back of our car. I wasn't allowed to get out because there was a dog there working. They look in the cars for fruit. Mum said that they don't want fruit fly to come to Tasmania so they make sure no one brings it in. Nana got a fine because she forgot that she had a tomato and an avocado in the esky and they saw them there.

Then we drove to McDonalds and Nana, Pop, Mum and Dad all had food. Mum and Dad didnt buy anything for us even though we had both been so good and not gone to the toilet inside! They said that it was because it was breakfast time, but I don't understand why that meant we couldn't eat anything!

After eating we drove to our new house!!! Carbi and I ran around exploring everything. I'll show you more photos of the house later but this is one of me, Carbi and a headless Dad in the loungeroom before our furniture came!
