Mornings With Moula

The rain continues  but not heavy- just misty and gloomy all day. We are all missing the sun. But we make due with what we are given each day. Carnaby chats with Dusty to keep her busy. Raven is always very good with the youngest in the house. She is very tolerant. Napping takes precedence on gloomy days like these. Lots of napping. Dad was outside trying to figure out which hen is a Roo.... Mum knows it's  Berrie...... He will have to leave us asap. Dusty always wants to be where Dad is- even when he is busy doing his exercises. We all want to be where Mum and Dad are. We after all, are one big family. Mama Mia gives up her chewing bone to daughter Dusty. Even though it is her favourite  bone. She is always the caring Mama. It is what we do as mothers and what needs to be done while we wait for the sun to return. Ciao for now my friends...  

It was a special morning for sure. Mum sang happy birthday (the cockney version) to Mama Mia for her sixth birthday. We were all very happy because that meant we got presents and special toys and CHICKEN for dinner! Mia proudly wore the hat a scarf that we all get to wear on our birthdays and she got to check out her birthday box. Everyone could smell the lovely chicken that mother cooked for us all. And Mia had special time with Mum while she prepared for the celebration. Dad returned home and Mia was allowed to supervise the giving of the chicken. Of course she got the biggest pieces. Dad gave out the birthday presents. Of course Mia got a giant chewing bone which she took away to the bedroom immediately while we waited for our  toys. We all love getting new toys. Mia was so happy to have her chewing bone all to herself. And we each got our own special little chewing bone to top of the celebration. Ciao for now my friends...

From the crunchy grass to the dust and dirt everywhere, we were so glad to finally have some rain after almost a month of no rain. Mum went to school so we spent the day and into the  evening inside the house. Dusty occupied herself the best she could. We all tried to keep her entertained. Izzy found a nice comfy spot on the sofa. And we waited for Dad to return so we could have our dinner. Before we knew it, it was night time again. Ciao for now my friends...  

The mornings are much darker now. I know the cold and snowy weather can't be far behind. It was a slow start because Mum had to teach a lesson in the morning. But then Margot and her mother came and even though it was too cold for them to go into the pool (I think they need  more fur on their bodies. But we went into the pool. It was chilly but lovely. Auntie kept us busy with all the pool toys. Margot had a wonderful time! We al had a wonderful time. I will miss these days in the pool. We thanked Auntie for coming over again and told her to come back very soon before the pool gets closed. Ciao for now my friends...
