Our morning walk ended just past our next-door neighbours’ house. Bluey made it clear he wasn’t going any further after pooping! He spent a lot of the day in his crate but he did interact with Karen who came to mow our grass. When I pull up the blind to allow the critters to useContinue reading “Bluey On The Mend”

We had breakfast with friends, then headed home to get started on a couple of jobs. The pantry splashback mirror needs to have trim fitted around the edges. I tried various bits of timber in my collection and settled on 12 mm quad pine. I needed a longer piece of trim, so headed to Bunnings.Continue reading “Back to Jobs”

Bluey slept OK last night, but his ears were still red this afternoon. He behaved more like himself but needed lots of cuddles. The antibiotic ear drops are working. I spent half the day having a bone scan. I was at the hospital at 8 am but didn’t finish until 11.45 am. The CT SpectContinue reading “Bluey Feeling Better”

I took Bluey for his morning walk, where he had a short run on the hard sand chasing a dog chasing a ball. We headed to the caravan storage depot soon after it opened to return some washed and cleaned gear to the Bushtracker and to collect a few items. Nearby, there is a largeContinue reading “Day of Bluey Issues”

We put Bluey downstairs while we went shopping and for lunch at Pacific Fair. He was waiting for us at the front door, having destroyed my latest effort to keep him from passing through Tilly’s cat door in the baby gate. This is the only thing he has ever deliberately destroyed. Plan C is toContinue reading “Naughty Bluey”

The past couple of days have been largely uneventful. There is a neighbourhood dispute about complaints concerning our local river park being an off leash dog area. Apparently, one man has complained about dogs running around near the playground area after 5pm, during the off leash time period. His 3 year old can use theContinue reading “Quiet Uneventful Days”

We returned home from breakfast at the Marriott to find Bluey had escaped through the hole I made for Tilly! I quickly got to work to make the hole narrower using some high density foam and fibreglass rod. He can’t fit through now, but Tilly can. Bluey was very happy to have us home. OurContinue reading “Bluey Escaped”

When I let Bluey out first thing this morning, he suddenly jumped and spun around. I didn’t see what had caused this, but was worried it could have been a snake or cane toad. I reviewed our camera recordings and discovered Bluey had been frightened by a large blue tongue lizard which ran away underContinue reading “Lunar New Year”

As it was cooler this morning, we took Bluey for a short walk. We left him at home when we drove to Isle of Capri for breakfast and shopping. After putting away our provisions, we headed out again, taking Bluey with us to Bunnings. We bought lots of mulch to try to deal with ourContinue reading “Train Travel Research”

I had to cut two small wedges for the gate to compensate for the angle of the wall at one end. Once they were painted, I screwed them to the wall and put the gate into position. I will have to either make a hole for Tilly to get through or a bridge for herContinue reading “Jobs Done”
