About Kaya and Luna

To be revised - Kaya is no longer with us.

Welcome to our photo blog! I'm Kaya, a two year old fawn Great Dane who lives in Australia. I have a sidekick (ok, sister) called Luna. Luna is a Great Dane too, coloured blue (the trendy name for grey) and one year old (nearly one and a half, she reminds me) and used to try and be a show dog. Now she does agility instead!

My special talent is modelling. I get lots of practice because our Mum is a dog photographer, so whenever she doesn't have other dogs to take photos of, she practices on us. I'm very talented at modelling and Luna is well, not quite so talented. She does try though.

We get to do lots of different things with our Mum and Dad - going to the beach is a definite favourite. We love sharing our many adventures with the world through our blog. Oh and we also love receiving comments - hope to hear from you soon!

My 2nd Barkday!

Hello everyone! On the weekend it was my second barkday, I had a really great day! First up Dad made pancakes, but he kinda didn’t do too well and they turned out a bit lumpy which is fine with me, cos it means I got to eat all the lumpy ones – yummm.

We were going to head to the beach but it was kinda windy and a bit cold and the beach isn’t too fun for the humans when it’s like that (not that I care) so we went to a park instead. First up Mum wanted some birthday photos with me – I was much more interested in investigating the park and saying hello to all the other doggies, but I posed for a few shots anyway, just for Mum.

Then if was time to head off exploring and meeting new doggies!

I thought I better do a bit of modelling cos Mum likes that kind of thing.

Then it was off to go play in the water. I’m such a water baby, if there is water anywhere, I just have to go look and have a paddle around!

After that I went and played with a little 12 week old Border Collie x Australian Terrier puppy. Mum didn’t get any photos cos they were busy talking, but we had an awesome time! To start with she was a bit scared of me, but then she got her confidence up and just started attacking me and trying to bite me! I had a great time jumping out of the way of those snappy little sharp puppy teeth!

I’m glad that Mum was here for my birthday this time, cos for my first birthday she was off having fun in that cold place called New Zealand, playing in something called snow! Mum’s going to put some photos together of my second year like she did for my first birthday, when she has time spare time, hopefully soon! So stay tuned!

LilaBean - I'm disappointed in your mum for not getting any photos of you and the puppy! I love puppies! I met a boxer puppy today. Tell your mum she better get photos next time! :)

Boxen N Bella - We miss you Luna! We hope everything is going well for you and your parents!

Stanislaw - Oh my feasting! I love the water too! I met a 9 month old GD pupper while on a walkies the other day, and he was lying down and I was SO PUMPED to see him! I tried to get him to wrastle and I guess it worked. But when he stood up I was all like - WHAT? WHO? HOW?! I made all the humans laugh! I think you dudes are cool!

Road Testing

One of my Mum’s friends has two Great Danes – a harlequin boy called Dante and a black girl called Leila. Dante just loves to play tug games, so she’s decided to start making them herself. To make sure the toys she was making were strong enough, she sent out some special toy samples to all her friends doggies, and lucky me scored two of these new tug toys to test and play with!

I actually much prefer just trotting around with it in my mouth and having people chase me. Mum pretended to chase me but kept stopping to take photos.

2009-07-29-0017 2009-07-29-0018

I don’t think she quite understood the concept of my game. But being the good doggy I am and following in my older sisters pawprints, I thought I better oblige and be a willing model, at least for a little while.

Just as long as we got to play afterwards! Mum insisted we get some photos of us using the tug toys for what it was intended. I nearly pulled her over, it was great!!

This is actually pretty fun!

If you like the look of these tug toys, you can go here to a special page just for my friends, to find out more about getting your very own. Oh and if you want to see more road testing, go here.

Meanwhile, big news! It’s my second birthday on Saturday! This time Mum isn’t away so we will get to do something fun like maybe go to the beach. That’s what I’ve been hinting at anyway. Some pancakes would be good too, Mum! Hint hint! Maybe a special pleading look will do the trick…

Simon - Your mum takes very nice photos Luna! Your good looks help, of course...Have a nice birthday.

Murphydog - those look like some great tugs! I went to your friends website to check it out and saw a another pretty blue dane on there with a great looking blue coat on. Do you know where that dane found that coat? Was it handmade? I live in San Diego and while it doesnt get all that cold here, I'm a wimp and my Mom is always looking for coats that fit a big boy like me! Thanks! Murphydog

Angela & Ben - Great pics Luna, and your new toy looks fun!!!! Oh and...Happy Birthday for Saturday!!!!! I'm sure your Mum & Dad will spoil you loads!!! xx

Roxanne - I'll make you pancakes Luna. You are so adorable. Happy Barkday, you beautiful girl. Hope you get spoiled and with a face like that, who can say no to you.

Mr Darcy - Herro Luna! You make a very good model, especially with your pleading face! Ooooh I love tug - it is my favourite game of all! That tug toy looks very good. I can't play tug at the moment but I am hoping I will be able to play it again someday. smooches, Mr Darcy
