The Naughty Birthday Girl

It's me everybody Willow. Tomorrow is my 5th birthday. I share my birthday this week with my almost twinny Putter the airegirl in America.

D was so excited about my birthday and then I went and did something very very silly with Lucy's help of course.............we escaped from the yard and were missing for 2 hours. D drove around and around Leura trying to find us. She was very upset and when she came back home Bryan took the car out and began looking for us.

Time passed and D was sure we were gone for ever. She thought we may get hit by a car or perhaps someone might take us. Noah & Tess tried to comfort her but she was too upset.

Then she had a phone call saying we were spotted close to Leura Village. She called B and he after a while he eventually found us........phew.........D was so happy but cranky with us for making her so upset.

Anyway, Lucy and I had a pretty good adventure and now we're exhausted and sleeping happily in our baskets.

I've attached a few photos all of ME starting from when I was a wee puppy . Wasn't I a cutie pie.

Oh and there is another thing and it's to do with D's obssession with Wire Foxies. She thinks I look like a large Wire....what do you think? See my slightly longer snout and almond shaped eyes?? Do you agree with D....just a little bit????

Signing off,

Willow the birthday girl!!!!!!

The Million Paws Walk 2009

G'day blogging maties,

Today we joined thousands of other dogs and humans on the 2009 Million Paws Walk down in Sydney. It is a fund raising event for the RSPCA. What a stunning day it was, not a cloud in the sky. As you can see from the piccies, they had a huge turn out.

You'll never guess what the pinkies decided we should do first..........

A bath!! There were about 8 mobile dog washes there and all the money they received went to the RSPCA....how good is that!!!! We all had a turn getting washed and dried. Willow was a little freaked out but I was really good.

Here's Willow being bathed.

Look at Lucy would ya....hehe.

Tess thought she could exit out the side!

We organised to meet up with D's niece and her dog (our cousin) Alvin the beagle boy.

After a big count down we all set off on the walk. It got a bit squishy in parts but we just love being part of it. All the dogs are so good and the pinkies were glad that we didn't disgrace ourselves hehe.

Willow's saying come on, pick up the pace!!!!!

We met 4 other airedales today. This dale in the piccie below, we met on last years walk.

Look....we saw a Boston Terrier just like Mack, Petra, Joey and Tanner. Naturally D took a photo !!

When we got back we had some lunch and chatted to some fellow walkers.

And then it was time to head back up the mountain and home.

We did a pretty good job with the fund raising too so thanks pals. It was very much appreciated. D said we raised $360 so woo hoo for the Leuradales!!!!! We made it in the top 20 fund raisers.

We're all so pooped after our day out. Can't wait until next year!!
