Paddys Pad

Im Back!

Gosh--- its been a while since Ive pawed in my diary. Had my yappy 5th Birthday last month celebrating with fish & chips in the park.Im a lucky boy--I got a knew kong for power chewers & a snuggly soft cushion for my pad.-----Its now Winter here down under--still can go for a run on the beach but too cold for swimming--just a paddle.Princess our foal has gone to another town to be trained as a harness racer. Stargirl her Mum will be having another foal in October so I will have a new pal to talk to through the fence. Dad takes me for a little bush walk in the mornings up the back of our property--in the summer we sometimes see a snake but now they have gone to sleep for the winter.Mum says thank goodness the lizards & frogs have also gone underground cos I go a bit crazy when theyre around--just being a good Jack Russell! I hope my city cousin Monet will visit again soon--havent seen him for awhile & hes such good fun. ---How are all my Dogster pals?---hope to hear from you soon B.O.L.----Woofs from Paddy Pumpkin---Thats my name--hunting for food is my game!!

Unwelcome Visitors

The other night it was pouring with rain all night---Mum & Dad let me sleep indoors on my little bed in the loungeroom cos my pad on the verandah was getting wet! Yippee I like sleeping indoors--I had to check on Mum & Dad ---sooo jumped on their bed about 4a.m. & gave them some nice licks--Mum wasnt very happy so had to go back to my little bed---OK! Anyway about 6.30a.m. I could smell some unwelcome visitors outside so had to let Mum & Dad know--they let me out & I barked my scary watchdog bark----would you believe there were the 2 biiiig Rotties from up the lane in my backyard---Igave them a piece of my mind---luckily there was a fence between us or they might have been cactus!! Dad eventually shooed them home-- I think they just wanted to play- but I had todo my security work like a good Jack Russell should --BOL.

My 4th Birthday

Yippee-- Today Im 4 ( or is it really 28 in ourworld ). I got lots of tickles & rubs from Mum today cos she didnt have to go to work. Also a new blue collar & leash for my Birthday outing----first we drove to the beach where I can have a good run & sniff---I love to roll in the wet sand ---the water is getting too cold for swimming but I had a little paddle! Then we drove to tne park for Fish & chips--Have a look at my photo --such good manners for a piece of fish---Dads cool --he lets me have a couple of chips. Thanks Mum & Dad for a great birthday treat.....Yappy Birthday to me.
