We had some wonderful news as we flew into New York. Buffy was found! The little scamp had gone wolf in the bush for two weeks. She had made a den in some used car parts down the back of the pet sitter’s property. The son saw her and tried to catch her, but because she tried tried to bite him (!!!) he had to trap her. Unbelievable. She’s looking pretty good for two weeks in the wild. She’s lost 1.5kgs (from under 5kgs anyway!) but is otherwise fine. Miracle!!

RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2010
My favourite day of the year isn’t my birthday, it isn’t Christmas, and, despite what Alec thinks, it’s not the chocolate holiday otherwise known as Easter. It’s actually the annual RSPCA Million Paws Walk.
I’ve attended the walk for the past six or so years since Kahlua came to live with us. I’m not sure how much the dogs actually enjoy going and being around thousands of other dogs and people, but it’s one of my highlights every year because it’s the one day where you get to see so many animals lovers en masse.
I am a huge supporter of the RSPCA and have a difficult time hearing about how cruel people can be to animals and the numbers that are dumped and put to an early death every year. This one day is the day that restores my belief that there are also a lot of people out there like me and Alec who really love animals. This year the walk is at Homebush again, starting at the Olympic Cauldron.
Go pooches, go!
This tiny pug was smaller than Alec’s hand.
Well, it has paws …
Kahlua hitches a ride.
The girls walk in tandem.
I’m a sucker for the cute, funny-looking dogs.
Buffy wants to be picked up!
Happy Million Paws Walk Day everyone!
The Pooches Are Here!
The doggies moved in on the weekend – cue sleepless nights and animal chaos!
The girls went a bit nuts for a few hours, then Kahlua settled down, and Buffy continued to go nuts. Once she discovered the cat, she wouldn’t settle. She was determined that they would be BFFs. Xenia however is completely traumatised and wants nothing to do with the dogs. Hopefully they will eventually sort it out among themselves. The good thing is none of them want to hurt each other, so that gives me hope for a successful animal integration.
Kahlua snoozes through our West Wing marathon.
Oh hai, Dad!

Dogs – Just Because
Love my girls.
Dad’s Birthday
We went out west today to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Our original plans of driving down the coast were halted due to the extreme heat. It was about 40 degrees out west and my doggies weren’t coping at all.
The birthday boy cuts his cake!
With my very hot little Buffy.
Kahlua is so hot she is barely awake.
Adriano Zumbo – The Wonder Years
Back again for more food! This time Lisa and Matt came with us, as did Buffy and Kahlua.
We decided finally to order proper food at the Chocolat Cafe, and it was fabulous!
Buffy drove us there. She is an excellent driver.
Ricotta pancakes. Yuuum!
Matt and multiple quiches.
My bircher muesli. Awesome!
Lisa ordered the Paris.
A little cuddle from Dad.
Buffers loves the attention.
They make awesome coffee.
Hulk hug!
I am trying one new dessert each time we visit. This time it was The Wonder Years.
It arrived in a kidney dish!
Interactive dessert!
Molten chocolate! Yuuum!
Puppies Galore
I miss my babies and wish I could see them more often. The naughty pair came over for visit this weekend and did cause some havoc, but isn’t that what puppies are for?
Buffy likes to burrow into the cushions – as captured below. The girls liked to cuddle up to their dad as well. Alec calls them “stalker dogs” because they don’t like us to be out of their sight. If I get off the couch to go to the kitchen, I turn around and there is one or both of them, at my heels looking up expectantly. Somewhat disturbing, somewhat cute. It’s hard to decide.
I met up with my parents to hand over my babies again. I really like walking the dogs here on a nice day like today.
Mum with baby Buffy. She is such a little micro dog.
Kahlua – my soul mate in doggy form.
Puppy Power!
I just realised that I still call my dogs “puppies”, even though they are all grown up! I think it’s because they’re so small and act like puppies. Particularly Buffy, she’s such a midget and makes the cutest baby noises.
I had the girls over on the weekend for some quality puppy time.
On the couch, Buffy likes to wedge herself under the pillows. Yawn!
Kahlua tries to lick Alec.
Buffy tries it on too.
We took the girls to a dog exercise park nearby to enjoy the sunshine.
Snuggled up to Dad.
So TIRING being so cute!
Whatcha looking at, huh?
Oh, me!
I know I’m cute …
Kahlua explores …
This pointer wanted us to play with him. He dropped his slobbery ball at my feet until I threw it for him. Which he fetched …. again, and again, and again …
This other big doggy adopted us. He was huge and friendly, but Buffy didn’t like him encroaching on her territory and growled at him. She was lucky she didn’t get eaten in return.
It was so great having my girls over – they are such sweet babies, and were amazingly well-behaved. I can’t wait to have them with us full-time.
Callala Beach Getaway
Alec surprised me with a beach weekend down south at Callala beach. He rented a dog-friendly house and spirited me away after work on Friday night for a lovely weekend.
Beach!
Buffy’s first time on sand.
Kahlua has a bad hair day.
Freedom! First time off leash in public.
