The Adventures of Miss Luna

This is one of our favourite outside toys – the sausages!

They’re great because they are so easy to share! We can have one each all to ourselves, but still be connected!

Most of the time we just like to walk around together with the toy.

It gets a bit crowded when we choose sausages that are right next to each other though.

Feeling crowded makes us want to have the sausages all to ourselves, so we tug as hard as we can to try and get it off the other doggy!

Sometimes when Luna gets it off me she goes a bit nutty! She hit Mum with the end of the sausages just after this.

Ever since Dad took some cool photos back when Mum was away in New Zealand, we’ve been wanting Mum to have a go at the same thing! Cos we are taller than most doggies, I reckon it’s how we would look to the little ones.

Either very funny or very scary, no wonder they don’t know what to make of us sometimes!

It’s easy with Luna though, the only thing little dogs would have to worry about with her is laughing to death.

It’s been a bad weekend for Australia. We don’t really understand much of it, but in Victoria (down the bottom right hand corner of our country) there have been some really bad fires. We know what fires are, but can’t imagine what it would be like if those fires were as big as buildings and burned everything in their path!

It’s very sad, but lots of people have died in the bushfires. Lots of animals have too – people’s pets like dogs, cats and horses, livestock like cows and sheep, plus all the wildlife – kangaroos and birdies. Whole towns have burned down – houses, schools, shops, everything!

I don’t think it would be a very nice place right now, we are very thankful we live where we do.

Anyways we were hoping you guys could do what our Mum has done and help out the poor doggies and their families who have lost their houses and in some cases, lost each other.

If you want to reach out and help the people and their doggies who have been affected by the bushfires, please go to this link, or read below:

MDBA is an organisation in  Australia trying to improve the reputation of dog breeders etc.. here is the intro from their site http://www.mdba.net.au

The MDBA screens their members in an attempt to offer a clear distinction for the pet buyer between a reputable and ethical dog breeder, welfare organisation and pet care worker and  others who may be less ethical. In a nut shell, we have done all we can to  take the risks out of buying a new family dog.

Below is their request for assistance – any help – no  matter how small - will go towards helping those who have lost loved ones,  property and pets from these terrible fires.

Lots of dog people in Vic around Yarra Glen, Warburton, Kilmore, Wondong, Flowerdale and surrounding areas have lost their homes, some their dogs. Many were trapped on roads/properties and unable to get out.

The MDBA has a non profit company – Master Dog Breeders Emergency Aid set up to collect and help where required.

We are now calling for donations urgently to help dog owners who are in dire straights.

This is a truly urgent call for assistance. Even small donations will all help.

Overseas donations and credit card to PayPal info@mdba.net.au

Please reach out and help these poor doggies and their families.

Today was very exciting! Mum and Dad went out for a while in the morning and came back with a present for us. A new car!

Mum’s been saying for a while that she wants her own car that she can take both me and Luna in, cos she can only fit one of us in her little blue car at a time (usually me cos I am better behaved in the car). This car looks like it has heaps of room – kind of like a smaller older version of Fez (Dad’s van).

Since Luna is Miss Agility, she loves jumping up on things and she got in first.

I was a bit hesitant cos the floor was a bit too slippery for my liking, so Dad kicked Luna out and jumped in to show me how it was done.

It was still a bit slippery though and I only got halfway up – hey I’m a model, not an athlete!

Mum found a blanket to put in there for me. I think Dad is going to make a ‘false floor’ with carpet on it soon to put in the back so it will be softer and more grippy.

With the blanket in place, Luna jumped in again straight away.

Mum decided she wanted to test it out too, so she jumped in the back and I followed. Lots of room for a little car! Though the roof wouldn’t want to be any lower – Luna’s ok but I only just fit height-wise!

We settled down, took in the view (of our driveway) and decided we liked the new car.

I can’t wait until Mum can drive it on the road with us in the back! It even has side windows so we can look out as we drive along – much better than Fez.

Apparently it’s a special type of really rare car, there’s hardly any around any more. Can anyone guess what it is? Here’s a couple more shots of it to give you all a clue!

The final clue is, it was made in 1963 – wow, that’s waaaay older than us! So, any guesses?
