The Adventures of Miss Luna

Very early this morning Dad and Luna drove off in the van, Mum said that they would be gone all day and we should do something special, just me and her! Just like old times! I was all up for that.

We decided to go for a drive in the mountains to try and find somewhere interesting. Mum put my red bed in the back of the Jeep…

It fits in perfectly! There is just the right amount of room in the Jeep for just me, but when Luna gets it too it gets a bit crowded and we sit on each other and get annoyed. So I was glad it was just me this time!

We drove to the mountains and went around lots of windy roads and up and down steep hills. Mum said she’d like us to live out that way someday. This is one of the roads we went on…

I was a good girl in the back. I got up whenever we stopped but mostly I just lay down and looked out the window.

We finally found what looked like a good place to stop for a look. It was a nice green paddock next to some horses and cows. They were pretty interesting but I found something even better!

It was a creek! A cute little babbling creek. It was so pretty!

It was SUCH a good place to explore. So many cool new things to smell!

I saw some even cooler looking stuff on the other side of the creek!

So I decided to cross…

Ooh! It was a bit cold! Not nearly as warm as the water at the beach. Mum says that’s because it comes down from the mountains.

It was really rocky under the water so I had to concentrate hard to keep my balance…

Yay! Made it to the other side…

I walked up the other side a bit until I found a little waterfall…

I was going to try and cross back here but the water was going pretty fast and I didn’t want to fall over! That would just be embarrassing!

I went back down further and crossed back.

But there was a deep bit!

It’s cool, I know how to swim! I went in anyway and had a drink while I was there. Mmmm the water was so fresh and cool! Much better than the garden tap water at home even!

Then it was time for us to go – lucky Mum brought a towel cos I got pretty wet! I had a fun time with Mum, we should do this stuff more often! I think she agrees. Now, how to get rid of Dad and Luna for a day again…..?

Today we went to the beach, as usual for a Saturday morning, but this time we met Mum’s friend Catherine there for a photoshoot! Mum needs some photos of her and us doggies cos she is going to be in the newspaper again soon for her doggy photography stuff.

We did a bit of practice posting to start off with, just for Mum’s camera…

When we met up with Catherine, first of all Mum wanted a photo of just me and her – yay! I think that means Mum loves me more. I did hear her and Catherine discussing something about ‘testing the light’ but I think that was unrelated.

Next we both did some posing with Mum…

Then it was time for all of us to pose together (that means Dad too) but there were so many other things to smell and see, we didn’t want to co-operate!

We eventually decided we better just get it over with, the sooner we got a good shot, the sooner we could go off and play!

All done! Time to play!

Luna is getting taller every day, slowing down a bit now that she’s nearly 8 months old, but still catching me up! Mum did a sneaky comparison shot today while we were eyeing off some treats that Dad had (the second pic is of us going for a catch!).
