Yes everypup, there's a new game on the block, invented by none other than ME!!!! It's a combination of soccer and snooker, and here's what you do (with one or both of your pawrents as your opponent/team mate - doesn't matter which, cos I treat 'em the same anyways, bol!): you have a shiny, hard little ball around the same size as a tennis ball. Babble balls are perfect for this purpose. Now, you roll it around the house (the soccer part) so that it bangs into walls and doors, ricocheting off said doors and walls (the snooker part) and so heading off in another, longer and satisfying direction. Occasionally you nudge it to your pawrent/s so they feel included and will kick it for you. Hours and hours of fun!!! We play it all over the house every evening after dinner. It's hilarious, addictive and most of all, you and your pawrent/s get to interact in a great, fun manner, bol!
A year ago today, Australia, and in particular the areas of Kinglake and surrounding towns in Victoria, experienced the worst bushfires in Australia's recorded history in terms of lives lost. In the space of a single dreadful Saturday afternoon, over 170 people, including entire families, their pets at their sides, and countless other furred and winged animals died in an inferno that no one could have foreseen.
Today we here in Australia are having a national day of mourning to remember all the lives lost and to honour them and the indescribably courageous work of our Country Fire Associations who worked (and continue to work) in conditions and against odds that are terrifying.
We also celebrate the miracles of that horrific day - and there were some, in spite of the inferno that swept away so many lives. Today we stand with pets and people like Sheeba and her amazing mum and family. Sheeba somehow survived that inferno - and only she will ever know the horror, terror and Heaven knows what else that dear pup faced, as did her wonderful mum and her family who came very close to being in the midst of it all.
Today we remember. We mourn the lost, and we celebrate and embrace those like Sheeba who survived and were saved.
So from around 5ish this morning until the alarm went off at 6.20, this is what was happening in our bed (oh HUSH - it's all rated for general viewing!)
The above was all on my side of the bed. On Mummy's side? DEAD SILENCE! NO MOVEMENT! Mummy would NOT take the hint to drag her sorry self outta bed and open the door so I could go have Smellovision with my ratty friends behind the grate in the living room! I was getting soooo frustrated! What I didn't know though, is that Mummy was awake the whole time and trying not to laugh at my antics and not so subtle attempts to wake her up!
When she FINALLY got up, I was so wound up I barely waited for her to open the door so I could do the Indianopolis Canine 500 in the direction of the living room, bol! Talk about slingshot dog!
