The south easter messes up hair

We got our afternoon walk at dusk yesterday, which made a nice change because we saw the sun set over the ocean. We'd been patiently waiting for our walk all day so we were both hyper and a touch manic when we saw the leashes come out! We just LOVE our walks!

When we got to the beach the sand was blowing everywhere because of the wind. It's a bit annoying really. It blows onto our faces and into our hair. When we get home after windy walks we take half the beach with us which is nice because it reminds of us walks. Why do the humans keep sweeping the sand away and spoiling our fun?

My leash is red, Babette's in green.

What does this taste like?

This yellow thing that you see on top of the door also arrived to sleep over with the humans and Babette.  Can you believe I didn't realise the thing in the big cage made squeaky noises and can fly! It's a bit like the wood pigeons that come down and eat our kibble except it's a hypnotising yellow colour...

Sleeping over at Mia's, sleep 2

My sister Babette just makes herself at home on my bed. Just look at her all sprawled up with me squashed in the corner.

Babette washing Mia's face

Nothing like an early morning face wash from your big sister!

Flash! Flash! Paparazzi alert! Flash!

These pesky humans that insist on whipping out those cameras with little or no warning. I mean, one minute I'm busy playing with 'Big Beer', my toy of the moment and then "flash flash flash". It's blinding and somewhat disorienting. Not that is detracts too much from play but c'mon humans! If you must take pictures of Poodles, we need hair, wardrobe, make-up and a dedicated air-conditioned Winnebago. OK?

Evening photo

This was taken this evening on the beach near my home. I'm posing next to my walking human. We chased each other around the sand and grass for a bit after I had a wee.

Then, we walked past the busy restaurants so everyone could see and adore me. I then had to poo in the flower bed opposite the stationers. My walking human is obsessed with picking up my poo in what the humans call a 'poobag'. Humans are very strange.

Is it a bird? Is it a flying metal thingy for humans?

We often see these funny buzzy noisy bird things with weird colourful wings. They buzz up and down our beach when there is little wind. It looks there are humans underneath those bird things. Perhaps the humans have been caught by mutant eagles and are being taken back to the nest to feed baby mutant eagles?

The next time one of the caught humans waves at us we should bark and bark and bark to get someone to try and help us free them!

Parlour day at Wags and Whiskers

It's easy for us to tell when it's parlour day because we get put in the back of the human's work car. Being Poodles, we really prefer being ferried around in a 2 or 4 door family car but at least the van is made in Europe (possibly in France even!).

Today, we went to a different parlour from the usual one. This time we got dropped off at Wags and Whiskers in Parklands. It's quite nice and spacious and the humans there are very friendly.

Poodles coming back from the parlour really need the correct accessories around to complement the radiant Poodleness we exude, so next time we hope that we get dropped off in the van but collected in the Mercedes so that everyone behind us on the road can see just how happy and pretty we are!

Me and my Ouma!

This is a photo that my Ouma, (Mia's human) took with her phone camera on our beach walk this afternoon. I think it's a lovely self portrait of me and Ouma, capturing the essence of Poodleness adoring a human.

Mia sleeps over

Mia's human mom and dad went away for the weekend. Last time they went away we all went to Mia's house but last night she came and stayed with us!

I was a bit irritated having her in my space at first but I was reminded that I spend most of my day at Mia's home which she happily shares with me. Eventually I came round and we spent the night together on her comfy bed that she brought with.

Now we're happy as two Poodles in a parlour and this photo of the two of us on MY couch shows how much my little sister means to me.
