Rocket hates being left out of anything! If he is left at the house, he barks and barks and then when we come home, he’s exhausted! He’s pleased to see us for about five minutes and curls up, content that his family his home and goes to sleep!
Keeping an eagle eye on things here, he’s waiting for the school bus – as soon as it hits the bitumen, he starts to whine, to let us know!
He’s been known to escape from the confines of the car (through the window) and run around on the bonnet and up to the roof, in his excitement to try and help!
Look at all our beautiful hay! The cows will be happy with us this year!
I love it when it looks as golden as this (always reminds me of the fairy tale, Rumplestiltskin), but I love it even better when it’s all been carted and stacked in rows, away from the weather.
Holly, the pregnant Kelpie, has taken to sitting on top of the new bales, watching as the hay is carted into the stack – she looks rather relaxed… I wonder if she’s had a visit from old Rumplestiltskin! Maybe not, I haven’t seen any extra gold lying around anywhere, unfortunately!
Rocket is the best little guard dog! He let’s us know the minute someone comes in the drive and I can tell you, we’ve been grateful more than once, for his vigilance!
For a little dog, his legs are so strong – he can actually balance on the pads of his feet, for quite long periods of time, which makes him look like a Meerkat!
The kids love it when he does his Meerkat impersonation – their giggles can be heard for quite some distance away!
Wouldn’t it be lovely just to laze in the sun? Well that’s Rex’s life.
Completely retired, except for the odd ride in the back of the ute, his life now consists of chasing the sun. One moment he’ll be stretched out in front of the door and I trip over him every time I set foot out side and the next, he’s found a warmer spot against the bricks of the house!
He mooches around like a big old black bear, enjoys his cuddles with the kids, sniffs everything and he’s still top dog of the farm yard and all the other dogs know it!
Oh, for a life in the sun!
This is Wally. Actually his real name is Law, but he’s a bit of a Wally, and he’s been called it that many time, he comes to that name too.
You would have to wonder what was going through his head, when he decided to go to sleep like this! He stayed like this for about twenty minutes and when he woke, he wiggled a bit, from side to side, then managed to get over on his side, got up, yawned,stretched and flopped back down on the ground, with his head on his paws – none the worse for wear!
Obviously Anthony has been working him too hard during shearing and he when he fell asleep, he stayed where he was!
I recently told you all about the Condingup Community Fair and how it’s our annual fund raiser for our small school.
Well this is a competition that happens every year, sets tongues wagging and will whet you’re your appetite to attend the day!
The dog high jump is a great entertainer – the dog that jumps the highest wins, and some of the heights that are achieved, gobsmack even the toughest competitors! It just goes to show that when ‘Man’s best friend’ is asked by his master to do some crazy things for his tucker… he does. And that’s the prize. Dog food.
Don’t forget, Condingup Community Fair, March 21, starting at 10am. Come and see us!
Meet Law, our working ‘hound’. It’s far too tiring hanging around a shearing shed when there isn’t any work, than when there is something to do.
He doesn’t really look like a dog that you can’t stop when he’s working, does he?!
