I can't sleep!!

Hi everyone,
I know we said that we wouldn't be posting but I can't sleep because it's noisy here. I was asleep until the neighbours came home...

Anyways, I was awake and so I got out Mum's laptop to play a game and then discovered that I can connect wirelessly to the internet here!!!! I was so excited! Quietly excited cause I didn't want Mum to wake up and use it instead.

Today has been a long day, and guess what?? Mum remembered the camera - but not the memory card!! So she has got a cheap camera that she put a weird round memory card in and that I can't see photos on when they are taken. Mum also said that we have to take the photos somewhere to be "developed". I'm not sure why I can't just stick that weird round memory card into the computer like I do the other one we have... maybe we don't have the right slot for it or something? Anyway, since I don't have my own photos I will use ones I find in google!!

This morning we drove for ages. I had a big sleep and when I woke up I looked out the window
and saw some of these...

I wanted to bark at them but there were lots of them and they were bigger than me so I didn't make a noise. Doesn't it look vicious?? Mum called them cow-dogs.

Then we saw some of these...

Mum called these ones horse-dogs

And last but not least, we saw some....

goat-dogs.

Then we got to the caravan and all had a sleep. In the afternoon we woke up and went to the beach.

We were walking along the edge of the water and then all of a sudden a wave came. Dad and I managed to run away from it but Mum got wet and Aramis got a bit wet cause he ran a bit away. THEN Aramis started to panic cause he wanted to get out of the water right away! But cause he was trying and there was water and wet sand he fell over and got covered in sand and water. He had sand all over his face and all down one side. I laughed and laughed - because it didn't happen to me!! You know what's even funnier than that?? Aramis had to have a shower to get some of the sand out!!!

Well... I'm feeling tired now, it's quiet again and I have a hard day tomorrow - I have to help Mum interview people to go and teach english in China.

I'll post again tomorrow if I'm not to tired.

We're all going on a Summer Holiday

It's not a long holiday... but it is a holiday.

MTLH has to go to Nowra (on the South Coast of NSW) for work and Dad, Carbi and I are going with her. We are going to get to go to the beach and have lots of fun. We are leaving when Carbi and Dad get home from work in the morning and then coming back on Wednesday. Then MTLH has to go to the Central Coast for work and I'm going with her. Dad and Carbi have to stay home and go to work.

We'll post when we can!

Dogs MTLH loved

It's been really hot today. We went out to look at a car - MTLH pretends to want to buy stuff and they pay her for it... not really sure why. Anyway, it was hot and still is and I can't think. MTLH has been putting Nana and Pop's photos onto the computer for her and I saw this photo....
She got really excited about seeing it. This dog is Harry (and the man with him is Pop - well MTLH says that's Pop, I'm not sure if I should believe her). Harry was a Labrador. He was the first dog that MTLH ever loved. He lived with Nana and Pop before MTLH was even born. MTLH and Aunty Lou used to ride him around the backyard like a horse - he was THAT big. MTLH said that all her friends were scared of him because of how big he was but that he wouldn't hurt a fly.

The next puppy that MTLH loved was Cara.

She was Nannan's dog. She was a cocker spaniel and she stopped Nannan's house from being robbed one day when someone went to climb over the back fence.

Next in our line up is Gizmo the Labrador.

This photo is one of Aunty Lou, Gizmo and MTLH. Gizmo was the first of three puppy's that MTLH had that went to Guide Dog University after they had grown up. Gizmo didn't make it as a guide dog and had a short career as a pets as therapy dog before he went to live with a family as a pet dog.

The second guide dog puppy was Connor the golden retriever
This is Connor as a baby - he looks too big to be a baby to me. Then again, this is him all grown up...

MTLH said that she loved Connor so much and she still misses him but that he is a pets as therapy dog.

Next up was Ulah, another golden retriever...

Ulah was a bit of a naughty puppy MTLH says and she went straight to being a pet dog when she failed the Guide Dog U exams.

Then there was Carbi


and then ME!!!

PS. MTLH said that the man in the photo with Harry was Pop...

I don't think that this man...

And this man....

Are the same person. Do you?

Here I come to save the day....

This morning MTLH started to prepare food for dinner. She has to cook rice and let it cool so she put a big pot of water on the stove and turned it on to boil. She then went and sat in the air conditioned loungeroom to wait for it to boil.

I could smell something funny so I barked and barked and ran into the kitchen and back to MTLH telling her to get up and HURRY!!

MTLH came in and could see black stuff coming out from around the bottom of the pot and so she picked it up and then yelled to Dad that there was a FIRE!!!

Dad ran in and blew it out! He was able to do this because I told them early and it wasn't big!! MTLH said that something had fallen into the element and caught on fire.

I got lots of loving after that!!

Aramis.

Bad day (but some good)

Today has been a bit of a bad day... it all started at 10.30 last night actually...
Dad went to work and left me at home!!! I had a little cut on my foot and he didn't want me to step in anything yucky (we work in a nursing home). I cried and cried and cried. I didn't like Mum because she held me and stopped me from going with Dad. I talked to Pop for a while but he had to go to bed so I went to my bed and cried and howled until about 2am! Then I was tired so I went to sleep.

This morning I got up when Pop did and was talking to him. Then he went out to the car and didn't tell me to wait at the door. I ran out the door and ran away. Pop yelled at me but I ran next door to where our car is normally parked but it wasn't there so I couldn't go and find him. Then Mum tricked me by running away from me and making me chase her and somehow I ended up inside.

Dad came home soon after that and we all had another snooze because we didn't get much sleep last night (for some strange reason).

When we got up we had a play and then Mum made us both have a bath.







The good stuff that happened today was that training started again and we all got to go. I was really good!

I'm tired now.
