It's My Party!

Hello

October 20 is my 3rd birthday! Only 1 more sleep! She's been planning all sorts of surprises, but my nose knows everything... I bet I'm getting roast chicken breast (no skin) for my meals and I think I'm getting a Big Bone to chew all day. She's got me a present, but I don't know what that is yet. And Wilston Vet sent me a Birthday Card! I went to Puppy School there and they always send me one.



I've been pretty busy. Last month, Eric and Elsie got cousin Hamill to come stay. That's him up on the left. Unfortunately, Hamill got fixed at the vet, so he spent a few days recuperating with them. He is still a puppy and wasn't sure of his name. And despite his affliction, he had more energy than Eric and Elsie could handle. So I volunteered to play with him for a couple of mornings to give them a rest, and we had a blast! She tried to teach him to sit, but I cottoned on to that one and got lots of treats for setting a shining example, because he didn't exactly follow...









I also got a haircut in time for sauna. They always say there are only 2 seasons in Brisbane, summer and sauna. We had a scare for a week in early October that sauna was here to stay, but fortunately, its back to summer and I'm a lot happier. My skin itches so when it gets humid. Anyway, She took the opportunity to make fun of me and didn't tell Tegan at Four Paw not to put a bow in my hair. I am So Not a Bow Dog. Luckily for me, Tegan put in a purple bow, so I was content that my regal look would complement my favorite Purple Heart Blankie, from where I rule proceedings...

How are you all going with the bindies on the sidewalks! Ever since it rained for so long and I was dead keen to get out, it got warmer and now there are weeds and bindies everywhere! I will not place my precious pads on any green sidewalk any more, its tarmac or sit-and-sulk-and won't-move for me. No way on the planet I'm walking on bindies. But the good news about the warmer weather is all the Larry's are back! You know, Larry the Lizard. I see them sunbaking in my rock garden (She kindly toiled all day to cut the grasses to neaten it up to expose the rocks so the Larry's would come out and then I can go chase them...) and then She lets me go exploring. I do border patrol round the whole garden, and there are 5 spots I'm likely to get a Larry, but when there's a sighting, I go in nose and paws blazing! Sigh, I'm not Always successful at getting them, but boy, the chase is Fun!

Now, our final Westie Walk is coming up in November on the 18th at 4 pm. I personally prefer mornings in sauna, but She said not everyone seems to like getting up early, so We've decided that because we want a Bumper Turnout, we'll do it in the afternoon. So, book your grooming appointments, because we are going to be putting our best paws forward! You all wanted the Petographer to come and take your pictures, so he is!
