Lucy, Gertie and lots of news

G'day maties

As you can tell from this video, Lucy is most eager to get hold of our new stuffie Gertie. This has been Lucy's plan ever since Gert arrived.

Now we have something very exciting to tell you all.

Last week some people came to our house. They have written 2 books about Dogs that reside at Bed & Breakfasts. They've done one book on the UK and the other on New Zealand. Can you guess what we're about to tell you????????

Yes that's correct!!!!

They are doing one on Australia and yes we are going to feature in it!

They came to take our photo which they decided should be on the front verandah of our B&B.

There was only one small incident which happened after the photo shoot. Tess, Willow & Lucy all took off and our front yard isn't fenced! I remained behind and had more photos taken while Bryan went looking for the girls. Thankfully they didn't get far and all was well. I think they went looking for chickens.

We also have another bit of news. Yesterday our friend Malcolm the airedale, who lives in Denver Colorado, was stolen from his daddy's car. This happened while they were out running some errands. Malcolm's dad was absolutely frantic as you can well imagine but someone saw Malcolm being dumped from a car at 3am the following morning so they caught him and he was taken to a doggy rescue place where his daddy was contacted. We are so thankful that Malcolm is home with his dad and dale sissies. We were so worried and are just so happy it has ended so well.

Now you all have a good weekend.

Meet the 5th Leura dale

G'day maties,

What's this you're asking......a 5th Leura dale? Well it's kinda true. There is a 5th dale living here now but she's rather silent. Meet Gertie, yes Gertrude Torney we've named her in your honour because we think you're so sweet and Gertie the stuffy is sweet too.

Here is Tess introducing herself.

Let me explain how Gertie came to live with us. Well a few weeks ago D saw that Gertie was being auctioned over in the UK. The money was being raised for Airedale Rescue and naturally D thought this was an excellent cause. So she bid and you guessed it....we won!!!!

Now Gertie is no ordinary stuffie. Our pals in the UK, airedales Barney & Storm have a very talented mum who spins airedale fur. The fur on Gertie came from the fur she clipped from Barney & Storm. How good is that. That means Gertie is a real airedale through and through.

We didn't think that Gertie was going to make through Australian Customs but she came through just fine.

And just to finish off, here is the pizza D cooked the other night. If you're wondering if we got any the answer is NO.....typical. Oh she didn't make the base, just the topping.
