The Dale Quartet...for your ears only, only for you!

G'day maties,

First of all we have a couple of thank you's to make.

Before we went away we were honoured with this cool award by Momo & Pinot

Thanks Momo & Pinot. We love your blog too and think it's very cool.

Then when we returned from the kennel we were thrilled to receive another award from our buddies in Japan Jazz & Dixie.

We know many of our friends have received these awards already but that's ok. We would like to pass the coolest blog Butterfly Award onto our cool bud Ludo and his little brother Otto and the second award Sharing the Love to our buddy in the UK Finni.

I'd also like to thank Asta for the lovely card she sent me for my barkday. I love it.

Not forgetting my buddies Molly & Taffy who sent me a very sweet e-card. Sadly D is a puter moron and doesn't know how to get it onto our blog. Molly & Taffy's mum knows how hopeless D is with the computer.........hmmm.

This weekend D & B are off to New Zealand to visit Bryan's mum. She is still in hospital after suffering a stroke last month but is on the improve with lots of rehab. There is going to be a big family pre-xmas celebration on Sunday but do you think we get to go to that....nooooooo...instead we have the delight of another visit to our favourite kennel. Luckily we don't mind the place as we seem to be spending a bit too much time there lately.

So that you don't forget us we thought we'd leave you with this lovely song we put together. Willow takes centre stage with her lovely singing voice and Tess is back up singer. Lucy and I are just back up singers.

Hope you enjoy it and sorry about B's harmonica playing. He really has no idea.....

We won't be around for the next week so stay safe and have a great week.

tailwags,

Airecuts, Spring weather & awards

It's really starting to warm up here so D & B decided it was time for an airecut. Thank goodness I say. My fur is so thick (like sheeps wool) I really feel the heat. Our groomer Thea clipped us nice and short.

Here I am in my kennel:

Tess looking stunning: Lucy sunning herself outside:

Princess Willow relaxing on the lounge:

The smell of Spring flowers is everywhere and D took some pics of the flowering plants in our garden.

But here is the most precious flower of all..........awwwwwww

We've received some great awards this week.

First of all our friends Abby & Happy gave us this is a very cool Portuguese Award and it means this blog invests in and believes that blogging makes us close. Proximidade translated to English means vicinity, or neighbourhood. I will pass this one on to: Agatha & Archie...and... Butchy & Snickers.

Then we received another very cool award from our maties Gus, Louie & Callie.

We'd like to pass this award onto Neko who recently underwent an operation and Petey who we think is an excellent and talented movie maker.

We received this award from Mango the Maltese, thanks matie.

We' like to pass this onto our matie Bogart and beautiful friend Faya & her little brother Dyos.

Lastly I would like to thank all of you who showed great concern for my ordeal of last weekend. I've recovered from being left out in the cold all night long ( it was still cold then ). Since D's return from Melbourne I've been very well looked after. B can't help it, once his head hits the sofa it zzzz zzzzz zzzzz !! Poor man.

Gifts & awards

G'day maties,
Well we've been back home for a week now and it's been really busy. Pinkies are back at waking up at 3.45am and taking us to the station to see D off. They look shocking when they wake up at that Godforsaken hour.


Lots has happened this week. First of all we had some lovely guests staying at our B&B from Brazil. They even looked at Thor's Blog and translated some stuff for us....how cool is that!!! They were really lovely people and they told us lots about Brazil.


We were also given 2 awards by our friends Agatha & Archie, Gus & Louie, Hammer, Ludo, Bogart, Penny & Poppy and my girl Ellie. Thanks so much guys, it's such an honour to receive these awards.


Our Award from Gus & Louie, Hammer, Ludo , Bogart, Penny & Poppy and Ellie:

This award is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland. The rules are to pass the award along to up to 10 people (we'd actually like to pass it to all our maties).
This is such a great award to receive. We're going to pass this award onto Butchy & Snickers, Alf & Mindy, Scruffy, Lacie & Babystan, Pacco, Jackson and Faya.

Our Award from Agatha & Archie: This is another super award which we'd like to pass onto Simba who is a little sweetheart.

We also received a surprise package during the week from Miss Sunshade and Jaffa. We didn't expect this at all and we just love it. Thanks Sunshade and Jaffa!!!!!

These strips go on our leads and they glow in the dark so when we walk to the station early in the morning we can be seen.


We feel like we've slipped behind in visiting all your blogs lately but we're going to make a real effort this weekend to catch up. It would be so much better if the pinkies didn't have to work.

This weekend there is a big dinner pawty happening at our place cause it's Pinkie B's birthday. He is so old we wonder how he can walk the four of us on his own.

Here is a piccie of B and I having a moment together:
Lastly and this is very serious, I Noah am going to be spending the day at the vet on Monday to have a little lump removed from my belly. I'm a bit nervous about it but the pinkies told me not to worry. It's possible that it's an apocirne sweat gland cyst or a fillicular cyst but whatever it is it's yuckie and has to go. So maties, keep your paws crossed that all goes well.




Hugs and tail wags,
Noah

Chrissie cards

G'day everyone,

If we didn't have such bulky paws we'd be able to open the laptop for ourselves but since D has been busy these last few days we haven't been able to blog till now.

First of all we'd like to thank River for our Best Friend award and Keeley for our Golden Rose award, thanks you two.

We'd like to pass the Best Friend award to our best girl friend Ellie who has been very sad since her sister Harley has gone over the rainbow bridge.

It's been really hectic around here lately. The Chrissy shopping is finally over. We've got boxes of pressies everywhere. Tess keeps sticking her big black nose into all the boxes and getting told off. The Christmas card exchange has been great fun. We put them up in our lounge room so we can look at them everyday.

Willow checking out the cards:

It's been great fun getting all the cards. Then yesterday we got some really neat bling from our friends Molly and Gertrude from England.
See aren't they great. We got one each with our names on them. Mine is a sparkley bone. They're supposed to go on the tree but we can't see the tree as it's in the guest area and we're not supposed to go out there so they're with all our cards and we can look at them everyday.

Hugs and tail wags

Noah
