BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS

Hey Angus & Milo here. Last week we had a very exciting day. We took our human down to the blessing of the animals at our local church. It started at 2: 30pm in the afternoon what ever that means. So once our human had grabbed our leads we headed off down to the blessing of the animals. Our human always love to walk us down as it means we aren't as excited when we arrive and can relax when the humans have to do their part.

This is the church it's held in every year. Isn't it cute? So we had arrived just in time for the blessing to start so Ros quickly found an empty spot down the back to sit and the humans began to do the blessing. We tried to join in when the humans started to sing, barking in the background. It was the blessing for the animals so should the animals not help? But unfortunately we were told to stop as we were not so much in the back ground as we thought we were. But everyone thought it was quite funny. Our human didn't get any photos of the actual blessing as she didn't have time to grab the camrea before we went in but we made sure she got a photo so you can see where we were sitting.

This is where we were sitting. So after the blessing was over we went outside to say hello to everyone else who had come. There were lots of people and doggies this time; the most that had ever been ros thought. We made sure ros got photos of everyone. There were also a few different animals there to, like a strange little furry creature that was bigger than a rat but smaller than a rabbit. Ros said they were called guinea pigs.































Aren't they so cute looking ? Also there was a cat there. Then Ros decided it was our turn for phot's so we did our best to look good.

So after we had finished having our photos taken ros decided it was time to get photos of all the other doggies that had come. There were lots there, pure and crosses alike.

Aren't they also cute? We had been there for a while and everyone was starting to head home again so Ros decided it was time for us to leave as well but not before we got a family photo.

We had a fantastic time at the blessing of the animals this year and we can't wait for next year's one.

SPRING WALK

Hi Angus & Milo here ! Today was a beautiful day so we went for a lovely walk down to the river for a lovely run. We headed on our walk and as soon as we had arrived at the park Ros let us off. We had a great time exploring as we hadn't been there in a long time so there were so many new smells to check out.

Oh, this smells interesting, Angus. I wonder who it was? After having a quick sniff we went to catch up with Ros.

Once we caught up with Ros we headed off to the river which is right across the road from the park. Arriving at the river we had to sit down before we were allowed to start exploring.

Waiting to be told we can start to explore. The river looked lovely today as we've had a bit of rain lately. The grass was fresh and long at the side of the paths so we had fun running through it.

Doesn't it look beautiful? After we heard we were allowed to start exploring off we went with Ros leading the way. First though we stopped to read the peemail to find out who else had been here lately. There was so much to read that we spent a good five minutes sniffing the post.

After we had finished reading the local news we took after Ros. We headed on our walk down to the river stopping occasionally to explore and smell things.

Then we would run to catch up with Ros.

Then Ros wanted to get some more shots of us modelling and if we say so ourselves we did a very good job.

After the modelling was finished Ros decided it was time to go home as we had been there a long time and we were getting tired and hot. We turned around and headed home. Arriving home we decided to have a swim in one of our ponds that we have out the front. We had so much fun we splashed and ran around in the water for a full ten mintues.

We had a fantastic walk and once we had dried off we were allowed back inside and we fell asleep straight away dreaming of our river adventure.

US AND MAX

HI Milo & Angus here! Yesterday we met a new friend called Max. He was a thirteen week old Maltese x Shitzu that belonged to one of Ros' friends. She has just got a new puppy and this is the first week he has been allowed to meet other doggies. So after our early introductions we all headed into the loungeroom to begin playing.

This is Max. Isn't he so cute? At first Max was a bit scared of us because we are a lot bigger than him and I can be quite boisterous when i first meet new doggies so for the first little while Ros put a lead on me so I wouldn't overwhelm Max.

Here we are saying hello to max. Very soon though max became much braver and started jumping around so I was let off my leash and the fun began. We began with bitey face. First I started with explaning the rules of biteyface. Max was very attentive.

So after explaning the rules the game began. Max caught on very fast and I think because of my great play style max now loves bitey face.

So after playing biteface for a little while ros went and got a toy from her room so we could play tug of war together.

Max had a strange fascination with our tails and paws. It was quite funny.

So Max had been at our house for a good hour and he was starting to get quite tired so his owner decided it was time to take him home. We were sad to see him go but we know we will see him again soon as he only lives a few houses away. So we should see Max again soon. We heard ros and Max's owner talking about going for walks together when Max gets older. We can't wait.

FUN IN THE SUN

HI! Angus and Milo here. Yesterday was a great day so at lunchtime we saw Ros grabbing our toys and leashes so we knew we were about to go on a walk. We jumped up ready for our walk and headed to the oval.

Soon we had arrived and we could not wait to start exploring. We hadn't been to the oval in quite a while so there were lots of new smells to sniff.

Oh, this smells interesting ! So after have a sniff around we headed off to do a lap around the oval with me leading the way.

After doing a lap of the oval Ros bought out the toys she had brought with us and the games began. First we played soccer a game I'm very good at.

Waiting for the fun to start. I had a great time chasing after the ball. I'm very clever and can use my nose, teeth and paws to move the ball around. Ros and I played keep away and I had to use all my skills to try to keep the ball away from Ros.

We were having so much fun then I began to notice that the ball was getting smaller. Ros came over and looked at it and discovered that I had accidentally popped the ball.

See how it has shrunk a little bit? Well we had been at the oval for a while so Ros decided it was time for us to have a drink. Ros filled up the bucket we had brought with us so we could have a drink.

So after having a drink we suddenly noticed that someone else had arrived so we went over to say hello. Once we said hello to each other we all walked around the oval togther and we all had fun playing with our new freind.

After a little more exploring our friend had to go home and Ros decided it was time for us to go home too as we had been at the oval a longtime and we were both very tired. After all our exploring we had had a fantastic time. We have our paws crossed the weather will now start to get nice again so we can start going on regular walks with Ros and have many more great adventures.
