At the end of the park there is a fun park type place for kiddies. When there are kids there we aren’t allowed to go there, but if there is no one around, we like to play there!
The sand reminds us of the beach.

We love to run around and chase each other! Or rather, Kaya likes to chase me and beat me up.

I think she thinks she’s some kind of expert hunter creature. I think she watches TV too much.
If she gets too annoying, there is a special place I can always escape to where she can’t get me!

I can jump up there easy from just standing next to the red bit. Kaya doesn’t have a hope though!

Queen of the playground! (at least until I jump down again)

Mum told me there is a saying 'third time lucky' – so we decided to have one last go at doing some modelling shots. We decided to try and get some more natural, non-posed ones, so the first one, Mum caught me in mid-play.
Mum: "Ok Luna, probably not the best look actually. Can you just relax a bit? And try not letting your tongue hang out quite so much."
Mum: "Not bad! Now, we really need to do something about your ears. I know inside-out is the latest fashion, but it doesn't look great in photos, can you try and flip them out the right way for me?"
Luna: "Ummm ok Mum, how about if I just do a side profile? Then its only half as bad cos you can only see one ear?"
Mum: "No Luna, that's not really what I want. And watch that tongue! It's starting to slip around to the side and hang out more!"
Luna: "Mum, I really kinda like my ears up like this. The other doggies think it's cool! How about if I just pin them back a bit so you can't see them so much? Like this?"
Mum: "Oh Luna I just want your ears to look pretty! I don't care about the latest doggy fashion. Can you please please fix them up for me? And watch your tongue too!"
Luna: "Fine then, what if I flip my tongue to the other side, and just look more alert? Does that help?"
Mum: "ARRRGHHH LUNA!!! I give up!!"

Flying ears and tongues

Flying everything!

Time out to beat up Luna again

The stealth stalk



We had a failed attempt earlier at improving my modelling, but Mum was keen to try again, so I thought I better give it another go.
Mum: "Looks good Luna! Your tongue is behaving.. now look over the other way, and try and look a bit more alert."
Mum: "Good! Doing well. Now, let's try and do something about your ears. Can you make them sit down a bit more? Not out sideways like that?"
Luna: "Ok Mum, like this you mean?"
Mum: "No no no! Make them sit down, not back! And what's happened to your tongue!?"
Luna: "Ummmm what Mum? You like my tongue? I can't hear you! I have no ears!!"

Mum: "Sigh."
