PhotobucketHello! It has been a furry while but I finally get a chance to dirty Daddy’s keyboard with my expert furry paws typing! I have been very diligent and learning how to use the computer. You wouldn’t believe it but my paws were made for typing! No other dog types as accurately as I do! And while most dogs salivate and wag their tail at the mention of ‘mouse’, I get all excited because I get to spend more time online looking at doggy porn. Woof!

My fetish for cream-coloured poodle crosses had to take a backseat last week when I turned three. This year Mummy and Daddy bought me a large sausage and stuck it into a sweet cupcake. I asked Mummy why couldn’t I have three sausages since I am three years old but Mummy said something about a cupcake that was too small.

Daddy also made the occasion extra special when he introduced me to little plastic doggy toys from Hungry Jacks because that’s how he shows his love – endorsing a special day with fast food giveaways!

But I don’t complain! That’s the beauty of me! I’m so furrily adorabily…me!

And how often do I get to eat on the kitchen counter? Never! Only on birthdays…my birthday!

Oh well I’m getting tired of this little post here. The sun is lovely today and I’m going to go back out the back yard to chase birds and Tom the orange Cat who loves leaving his poopy in the yard for Daddy to clean up. *wags tail* That’s the best thing Tom has done yet!

Until then, woof!

Toby might have a friend? July 10, 2009

PhotobucketToby at home with me just last week. Michele’s been bugging me to get a playmate for him. Poor boy’s lonely and I can see it in his eyes. Michele thinks we can cope, but I don’t know if another dog is a good idea. She sent me a link from the local papers with pictures of a breeder’s litter of Poodle/Cocker Spaniel puppies (below). Argh they are really adorable.

Now I have no idea which puppy Michele wanted, but hey give her a chance I’m sure she’d have taken both.

I really want Toby to have a good friend to wake up to and play with. I guess it’s the thought of cleaning up after two dog’s mess, feeding two dogs, watching out for the needs of…well you know I mean.

The home does get awfully quiet with just three of us at home. Hmmm…

Decisions…

Hello. I hope everyone has been good.

Have you ever had a day where everything and I mean everything just turn on you and nothing seems to be going your way? You know, the kind of classic script that you would have thought sprung out of a ‘It Could Happen To You‘ moment. Just without the beautiful blonde, money and feel good factor.

Pretty shoddy don’t you say? Well I had one of those episodic moments just last week.

Midweek, and Michele had been gone in Cairns for almost a week. As a freshly-scrubbed couple with the nuptial bells still ringing in our heads, I must have let my loneliness get to my head and cloud my judgment.

I didn’t want to leave Toby alone at night while I was gone at work, so I brought him along. Work is pet-friendly, and staff are even encouraged to bring their pets along.

The night went on without much fanfare. Just as I was about to clock off for the day, I did my usual checking of essentials before I left. Toby – Check. Lunchbox – Check. Wallet – Check. Logged off computer – Check. Work keys – Check. House keys…house keys?

And then it hit me. Where are my house keys?
