What's been happening down under

G'day blogging pals

As you probably know it's springtime down under. We've got a pretty big garden but it's not your usual Aussie garden. Ours is full of foreign plants and they make our garden look beautiful, especially in Spring and Autumn.We thought we'd share some of the photos Bryan took earlier this month. Hope you like em!

Hi Tessy.

The path up to the front door.

Our front gate and sign.

The front yard.

You can see the front of the house in this piccie.

As much as we love springtime, it's done nothing but rain lately then last Saturday it actually snowed all day. Now that was a surprise!

tailwags,

Crikey, we've been gone for ages....

Oh errr, just let me clean myself up before I get started..... Ahhh that's better.

Now, you're probably wondering who the hell I am hehe. Ok ok, yes we kind of disappeared for a while. Clearly not my fault !!!!!

What have we been doing since we last posted sometime last century.....well let's see. We've been eating.

Resting, snoozing and slowly making our way back onto the couch from which we've been banned for sometime.

And generally being cute.

Lucy is quite put out because I didnt include her photo in this post. I would have, truly Lucy but I cant figure out how to move the photos from the top to the bottom so you miss out.....

ps. hopefully D will help us post and more importantly visit your blogs more often !

Noah & the girls trying to relax

The Pinkies and their new camera are just plain annoying.

Meeting two special friends

Oh my, we've had a bit of a gap posting on our trip to the USA.

After visiting our maties in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Boston we continued further north to see Willow's almost twin Putter and her family. We had already met up with Putters mum in Northford but Putter wasnt there so we called in on our way through and met Putter's little human brothers and her dad too.

It was a very hot day and Putter was exhausted after showing us all around her front yard.

She's a very fast runner and loves her ball.

We hadnt really planned the next part of our holiday but a last minute change of plans found us in Montreal Canada. Well we all know who lives in Montreal. Yep our mate Sophie and her mum.

Sophie showed us all around the mountain in the heart of Montreal. We walked all over and enjoyed the great views of the city.

Sophie was a great tour guide.

This restaurant was great. We tried some delicious smoked meat and it tasted fantastic. Of course we ate way too much everywhere we went hehe. Good thing we did a lot of walking.....phew!

Thanks Sophie & Sherry for showing us around Montreal and thanks to Kate for the tour of Newberryport.

We really had the best time in the States. We met so many great people and their wonderful dogs.

Thanks everyone!

ps. Noah's ear is healing well. The eardrum is growing back slowly but his hearing is much improved. Tess is still beautiful even with a missing toofie. Her blood works are fine so all is well. Thanks for the good wishes everyone. We hope to get to all blogs soon.

Tess & the case of the missing tooth

Hi hi everyone, it's me Tess.

I didn't expect to come back from the vet today with one less tooth but that's what happened. I thought I was there to hold Noah's paw who was back at the vet for a check up on his ear. Well, I'd better tell you what happened. During the week I cracked a major tooth at the back of my mouth. No, not a molar but still a pretty big tooth. The nerves were exposed so it had to come out.

I'm a beautiful airegirl and now I have a missing tooth...................sigh.

The only problem with this is my mouth is bleeding. D just found some big blobs of blood on my doona and the floor.

The vet did some tests on me too. My urea levels were raised and a little higher than the vet would like so back I go next week (with my brother).

Please keep your paws crossed for me for next week.

My poorly ear by Noah

G'day maties,
It's me Noah. I've been in the wars lately. I've always had ear issues but this time it's worse than ever. I've even managed to rupture my eardrum.

I have been to see my vet 3 weeks in a row and I have another appointment this Wednesday. Last week I was put under anaesthetic to have my ear cleaned out as the yucky muck was quite bad. There was also some bacteria in there from an infection. I have to admit, it was a bit painful and I did have a little cry when the vet took a deep look in my right ear.

Now I have to have medication syringed into my ear twice a day. Megan being a vet nurse has been given this job. I really dont like it much. I cant hear very well as only one ear is working. D hopes my hearing comes back soon.

Please keep your paws crossed that my ear is improving.

Thanks maties.

NSW Airedale Fun Day

Hello everyone,

It's me Willow. I hardly ever get to post anything because Noah & Tess usually hog the puter and Lucy just beats me up if I get too close to it but I asked D if I could tell you all about our dale day out yesterday and she said yes.

Yesterday Noah and I went to the NSW Airedale Association fun day and had the best time ever. I like being with my big brother and not Lucy haha Lucy you stayed home with Tess.

Megan came along with us. Here she is in the pink holding onto me and Noah.

This is our friend Major. He is the same age as Noah (9) but he is nearly blind now. He did really well on the agility course unlike my brother who can see but still balls it up hehe.

This is Benson. We havent met him before but he was a nice boy. He has a very sweet little sister called Penny. I'll introduce you to her later.

This is Ripley. He is a show dog and is very handsome.

Some of you know our matie Fozzie. He is Gracie's sister and Ruby's son. He is a lovely boy with a big thirst.

Here is Gracie. She is so pretty.

And this is our friend Teddy. Isnt he a sweetie.

Diesel is doing a bit of butt sniffing. I think Ruby is going to get cranky !!!

Here is Teddy again with Noah looking on.

This is little Penny. She is adorable. I thought D was going to take her home with us.

Now you're all in for a treat. Noah doing something physical. Well done Noah. You impressed us even though you came last .

D and I took part in the soccer competition. Our team did pretty well.

Well that was our day. Thanks for visiting.

Come see us play

G'day blogging maties.

Thought we'd give you a break from our travel pics.

We took this video a couple of weeks ago.

Seeing the sights of Boston with Agatha & Archie

Can you tell where we are...............
Another great US city with wonderful tour guides. The famous A&A !!!!!

And their pinkies pl1 and pl2. Here we are outside their home. Archie insisted on showing us the footpath he meticulously cleaned for our arrival.

Agatha and Archie both fussed over us. Here they are with flat me showing me the infamous bomb shelter.

Agatha and Archie are such awesome hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed. Aggie sharing some girlie secrets with flat Tess.

Here we are in Archie's basket feeling right at home.

We all hung out in the apartment while the pl's and Riley & Toffee's mum showed my pinkies the sights of Boston. Wow, what glorious weather we had. It got quite hot on the second day but they still managed to walk just about all over the city.

At the Granary Cemetery the pinkies saw Paul Reveres Gravestone.

This is where they had their very first Lobster Roll.....the first of many hehe. Hey B what's that behind pl2's head........hmmmm

Here's Toffee & Riley with their mum and pl2.

And this is the stunning Boston Public Garden. So pretty.

Finally we would like to thank our fantastic tour guides. We learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Boston.

ps. D really liked shopping on Newbury St too hehehehe.

Visiting with Maggie & Mitch

After leaving New York City D & B headed north to visit their pals Maggie, Mitch and their pinkies. They were made very welcome and absolutely loved their wonderful property. Maggie and Mitch were waiting at the door to welcome their visitors.

Mitch decided to soak up some Aussieness by eating some vegemite. He must be an Aussie at heart cause he loved it.

Maggie had lots to say to her visitors.

Maggie & Mitch's pinkies took Putter's mum and my pinkies to a great winery for dinner.

Here is a photo of the best garden ever. It's huge and wonderful and there is lots to look at and many areas to explore. There are even snapping turtles that live in the pond.

Mitch and his pinkies took Putter's mum and the pinkies for a walk up Sleeping Giant. The view at the top was awesome and they could see all the way to the Long Island Sound.

This swan and the Canadian Geese (we think that's what they are) also live in Maggie & Mitch's garden... I mean why wouldnt they, it has its own lake .... awesome !!

There are neat things to look at everywhere including this airedale weather vane.

Pinkies even got to meet Autumn

Thanks Maggie Mitch Sue & George for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our time at your lovely home.
