Getting into the Christmas spirit.
A Very Poochy Christmas

Welcome Summer!
Sydney is suddenly tropical. Stinking hot days, followed by days of non-stop rain.
I can’t wait till Christmas this year. After last year’s insanity of planning a wedding, this year is looking calm and relaxed by comparison.
Yayyyy summer!

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!
Woof – The Dogs Settle In
I’m loving having the dogs living with us. They’re settling in more and more and their personalities are coming out again. Kahlua has been extremely happy as well (she can be moody and depressed, so it’s great seeing her so happy all the time). I play games with Kahlua each morning when we get up. She likes playing fetch with her rope – I captured her playing in the little videos below.
The Menagerie
The animals are totally nuts. Some days it feels like I’m living in a bad Cesar Milan episode. If only he would come and sort out the craziness for us … Still, they are super cute.
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.

Dogs – Just Because
Love my girls.
Puppehs!
Just a few pics of the girls.
Wuff Time
I spent the weekend with my girls getting some quality time in. I just love them so much and can’t wait till I can have them with me every day again.
Looking the wrong way and about to bark off a warning to people on the footpath.
Little angels saying, “Don’t go mummy!”.
How can you resist these soulful eyes?
Scratch mah belleh!
Kahlua’s eyes are so human.

Very fluffy and clean.
Puppy Update
Well, not so much of an update just a few pics I took today. Kahlua has had a bad ear infection for several months now, so her ear is constantly yucky looking. The vet thinks we’re finally getting the better of it now though, so hopefully it won’t be much longer till my biggest baby is back to normal.
Buff is the same as always. Silly, nutty and completely adorable.
Tiny tot.
So bored now!
A good shot to show perspective of how tiny the little one really is.
