The Adventures of Miss Luna

Now, I’m not sure whether to be flattered or annoyed by this recent turn of events, but I have noticed lately that Luna copies what I do. A lot. If I lie a certain way, she copies. If I go outside, she goes outside. If I get up and give Mum or Dad huggles, she butts in.

It was quite apparent out in the yard today when Mum was taking photos. Have a look for yourself!

I pulled a funny face, so she did too…

I did the furrowed brow look, and of course Luna copied me…

I checked out the birdies…

Luna had to have a look too…

Luna might think she’s pretty special copying me like this, but she doesn’t have everything down pat just yet! In fact, I reckon I even beat her at her own game with a good free stack, look at my top effort below…

… compared to Luna’s crappy attempt, she even had Mum there trying to help her! Plus she was munching on her lips again which never looks attractive, coupled with the fact that her bum is higher than her shoulders hehe. Mum reassures her that it’s a growing phase but I freak her out saying she will always be like that – muhahaha!

At least there are some things that Luna can’t even compete with me on (yet)! Like this! My latest trick. I am such a tall girl now!

Mum and Dad think it’s funny when Luna tries to copy me. I guess I think it’s kind of groovy – a bit flattering! It means she thinks I am cool. It’s good when your little sister thinks you are cool!

Oh and one more pic – Dad came home from work when we were in the front yard modelling for Mum. So we obligingly posed for a photo with him!

Mum wanted to share this photo of Luna. Presumably to show of her photography ‘skillz’ and also demonstrate how pretty little miss Luna goody-two-shoes is…

Well you know what? I don’t even care… this is what I think of all the showing off that’s been going on around here lately… ha!

I seem to spend a lot of my time lying around, waiting for something exciting to happen. Why does Mum go for hours without paying much attention to me? I mean, her sole purpose in life is being my Mum, right? Why does she need to sit there starting at that stupid screen on her desk ALL the time. Then sometimes she’s not even at home at all! Dad is never at home for most days either.

We do stuff at the ends of the day, and on those two days where Mum and Dad are both at home. We go for walks and to the beach and dog parks and stuff, which is kind of nice. I still think Mum should spend more time with us though. I like to lie there and stare at her to make her feel guilty that she’s not spending every minute with us, entertaining us and attending to our needs, like she should be.

Sometimes I don’t understand humans very well. Especially Mum, when she gets in an ‘arty’ mood. See, I like photos where everything is clear, there’s a nice doggy head right in the middle of the picture with no crazy colours or even worse, no colours at all! Just black, white and grey!

Mum tells me that there is more to taking pictures than everything being nice and clear and pretty. She says that you can use stuff like outlines and movement and colours to make a picture cool. Apparently, a good picture can also mean that the doggy in question is not even totally in the shot, and that just a bum, or paws, or noses and such is ok too. She says it creates ‘mood’ and ‘tells a story’. Hrmmm..

Well I am still not sure if I agree because I like people to see how beautiful I am and sometimes in these ‘arty’ shots Mum takes, it’s a bit hard to make out! But I am allowing her to post these photos so you can decide for yourself. These are from a visit to the calm water (a placed called the Broadwater) and are of me and Luna and Dad playing in the water and swimming, digging, running around and generally having a good time!
