LAST ONES STANDING

Image
There is quite a chill in the air these mornings and Mum and Dad have nearly cleared all the growing and non growing plants out of the front and back gardens. There are only a few plants left standing as they thrive in this kind of weather. We of course love this weather too.   We forage in the grass - thick from a summer of rainfalls. And leaves have already started their annual fall. The sun sinks ever lower on the horizon and Raven wonders if she will get one more swim before the boys cover the pool for the long winter nights. Inside it is much quieter and a lot cooler than usual because the birds are gone. Mia loves to play on the rug where they once were. And Ble has found a new dragon friend that once belonged to Moula. Things are slowing down again. I feel it in my bones and in the air. And wonder too which plant will be the last one standing.  Ciao for now my friends...

THE HIGHLAND COW

Image
Mum and Dad brought home this Highland cow for Blueberry weeks ago but they did not know that it would become her favourite toy. Oh she loves the squeaky pig too but the cow is the one she will get off the top of her crate first. The rest of us are more practical. we love the new soft rug even though we miss Robyn and Carnaby. Of course, Blue loves chatting with her  Mama too. But a comfy sofa corner- Or a lovely soft bed is just fine. So far though, Blue treats her cow like her best friend. And she treats me with gentle respect that I deserve as her great Grandmama. All in all I must say this little Blueberry is turing out to be a wonderful young lady. Ciao for now my friends...  

YUCKY WET

Image
We sighed again when the morning came and the clouds looked unhappily grey. Even so, Dad sent us out with chewing bones. Blueberry is allowed to go out with the all blacks but not with Mama Dusty. When Dusty is in her crate, even Izzy gets to play with the big highland cow. Even though it is Blueberry;'s favourite. Blue does get to play with her Mama when Mum and Dad are watching them play. Blue has learned to jump up on the sofa all by herself. Even Raven likes to get into the action. But the Yucky Rain just makes us want to nap away the day. Mum says the sun will return again soon. Ciao for now my friends...  

BUSY BUSY

It was a busy day here  for sure and the sun was out all da for a change. We hung out inside while Mum cut all the garden plants outside and Dad mowed the grass. Then to everyone's dismay, Mum and Dad started putting the pool stuff away and getting ready to close the pool once more. Mia kept her grand daughter company. Both Blueberry and Dusty Went to the vet early in the morning. Dusty was not scheduled but the Doctor took care of her anyway! Dusty alwas kept watch over her Blueberry. And Blue is now 44.5 pounds!   Ciao for now my friends...

FAVOURITES

Image
Blue has her favourite toys that she now gets off the top of her crate. They are kept there because Dusty the destroyer will make quick work of them all. Blue's absolute favourite toy is the highland cow. She treats him like a friend. And of course when the big girls go outside, she gets the whole kitchen to herself. And when Dusty is on the other side of the gate, Blue even gets a teething bone. I don't think Dusty minds. The rest of us rather nap then play too much. I think we earned that right. Ciao for now my friends..  

TWENTY WEEKS

Image
Now that Blueberry is twenty weeks old, she still wants to be a puppy but now she wants to do things on her own too. She has taken to digging holes that Dad has to fill in again. And taking garden ornaments down again and again. She really likes to torment her Mama and her Grand mama. And has discovered the joys of the honking piggy. WE are tolerant of her antics knowing it is only going to get worse before it gets better since we all lived through it. Some of us are still in it..... All in all having Blueberry in our lives is a breath of fresh air. Ciao for now my friends...
