Bluey had a quick early morning walk in light rain. He ate his breakfast ignorant of his 8.30 grooming appointment. He might be getting used to Hollywoof as he only trembled a little once inside the building as he was being handed to one of the workers. When I pick him up, he is veryContinue reading “Haircut Day”

It was warm this morning when I took Bluey to the park not long after after 7 o’clock. He walked to the coffee shop but we should have gone earlier. When we walked this afternoon, there were episodes of loud thunder and black clouds, but most of the rain went around us. We had lunchContinue reading “Lunch at Bumbles”

This morning we took Bluey to the HOTA Markets to catch up with friends. He is always very keen to go on an outing. These curlews and their chicks were again struggling to find space away from people. They followed the path and nearly had an encounter with two women who didn’t see them untilContinue reading “Hussy Hicks”

We took Bluey to the Salt Cafe for breakfast with our friends. While we were there, two large Groodles sat at other tables. Later, we had another outing to Wild Earth to buy some new shorts. Bluey didn’t like the crowded store, full of buyers looking for Black Friday specials. I finally finished drafting ourContinue reading “Valyn Thai Restaurant”

I checked our faulty pool cleaner before the pool service happened this morning. It has been going in circles around the drain. The service man suggested we take it to the pool shop for repair, but they probably want over $100 just to look at it and give an estimate of the cost of repair.Continue reading “New Pool Cleaner”

A cancelled appointment left us having breakfast at the Salt Cafe with Bluey. Back at home I fitted the wheels to my planer table. This is a fairly simple job, except for working on the concrete floor. I measured the location where two holes had to be drilled, then screwed on the lifting mechanism. TheContinue reading “Half of Garage Cleared”

There was only one Swan on the beach this morning. I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo when it was stretching its wings, exposing the white on the wings. On our walk back from the coffee shop, red flowers and leaves caught my attention. We had an unexpected visit from a friend who wantedContinue reading “Wednesday”

For the past two days, I have been feeding myself and the critters. We are all still going strong! It was dinner time, and the critters were looking towards the stairs, possibly hoping for Anita to appear and feed them. Fortunately she is now home, and we have all been fed! Bluey has been hidingContinue reading “Anita Home”

Bluey quickly recovered from his anaesthetic for teeth cleaning. I took him for a long walk on the beach then to the local cafe where I treated him to some decaf flat white. He knew it was Saturday, but he couldn’t come to breakfast with us because the Quarterdeck Kitchen and Bar is not dogContinue reading “Weekend”

I dropped Bluey at the vet for teeth cleaning under general anaesthetic. He sat on my lap trembling until the nurse carried him out the back. Anita had her nails done, but didn’t wear appropriate shoes. The nail technician sent her home wearing these disposable thongs, which she wore shopping at Woollies. Tilly was perplexed.Continue reading “Bluey Teeth Cleaning”
