The Adventures of Miss Luna

Well, I’ve been heavily berating Mum for her lack of postings lately and I’m happy to say, it’s finally paid off! You’ve already met Izzy from the sneak peek post a while back… she’s very little… (well compared to me anyway)

Izzy came to visit me for a whole weekend! She’s a 9 week old Great Dane x Ridgeback x Mastiff (mostly Great Dane though) and her colour is called brindle, isn’t it pretty? Izzy likes to chew on sticks, I guess that’s the Great Dane in her coming out.

Unfortunately, she also likes chewing on me.

I put up with it, she’s just a little puppy…

She does have very sharp little teeth though!

I make sure I don’t bite her with my teeth, so I end up looking a bit gummy.

Izzy seemed to have a bit of a fascination with my belly. I think I might have reminded her of her mummy?

Mum thought Izzy was very pretty, and talked her into doing some modelling. She didn’t do a bad job, for a newbie!

Okay, so Izzy is just a little bit too cute and a little bit too good at the whole modelling thing. I had to think fast! I didn’t want her taking over my job, so I thought I better regain my superiority. What better way than proving my dominance with the stick! I lulled her into a false sense of security…

Drew her in, let her think she had a chance, then boom! I was off! No catching me!

It was kinda nice having Izzy to visit, someone to play with is always good! Maybe one day I will get another sister or maybe even a brother, but for now, it’s pretty cool being the centre of attention all the time!

Love and licks, Luna xo

Well finally today we got PROOF that Mum’s been doing the dirty on her two favourite, faithful companions (me and Luna of course). It all fits together now – the long hours away in the afternoons when she arrives back home smelling… different. Not bad, just different, in a distinctly animalistic kind of way.

Well tonight, we discovered some PHOTO EVIDENCE on her computer!

So behold, Mum canoodling with the culprit!!

Update: Ok, so Mum has informed us that we have nothing to worry about. At first we thought he was some kind of overgrown Great Dane that let Mum ride him (how could we ever compete with that??) but Mum assures us he is a different species. A horse in fact. So, since he’s not a doggy like us, technically she’s not actually cheating on us. Phew!

So a bit about ‘the horse’. His name is ‘Rocky’ and he’s a ‘thoroughbred’ (kind of like us, we are ‘thoroughbred’ Great Danes), he’s 13 years old (wow! old!) and he’s 15.3 hands high. Whatever that means. He used to be a racing horsey (again, kind of like me, I race other doggies at the beach) and he is from New Zealand! Which is apparently some cold, small little country overseas somewhere.

Mum says that one day we will get to meet him in person! Uh… horse… dog.. let me try again… one day we get to meet him for real! I hope he likes us and doesn’t try and stomp on us with those big hard looking feets.

Anyways we are a bit excited, a bit envious, but a LOT relieved! Mum still loves us, yay!

We had a visitor today! His name is Spot and he is a little white doggy with a big black spot on his back. His people didn’t have much trouble naming him, obviously! Spot belongs to one of Mum’s friends who often has to go away for a few days for work. This time, Spot came to visit us and stay the night!

Spot was pretty chilled out, just like me and Luna I guess. He even had a cuddle with Luna on the couch!

I’m not sure Luna was too impressed, but she made him feel welcome all the same…

Then we went outside to play. Mum and Dad call Spot ’such a boy’ – which I guess refers to him running around peeing on everything in sight as soon as he goes outside.

Luna thought it was a bit weird, so kept an eye on him. And an ear out for other stuff that was going on. She’s a bit multi-talented, our Luna.

Spot even did a bit of posing for Mum:

Mum decided she may as well turn our front yard play session into a bit of a photo session instead, so she gave us some modelling instructions. We all listened:

First it was my turn. I was happy about this! I think I’m getting a bit more dignified looking lately, don’t you agree? I think it’s the grey coming out on my muzzle.

Luna and Spot were checking out some people walking past:

Mum did some close-ups of Luna. I kind of envy her cool coloured hair sometimes. I wish I was a blue doggy too!

People do say we look good together though. And it’s kind of nice to be different.

I lay down next to Luna while she sunk her teeth into the local newspaper.

Reflecting on the day’s news:

We watched some birdies fly over:

Then we spotted Spot! (hehe, I’m so funny)

I think he felt a bit left out, so I invited him to come over and sit with us.

I said sorry for leaving him out.

I like it when we have friends over to visit! It’s lucky that Mum and Dad have lots of friends with doggies, so we get to meet new friends and catch up with old friends all the time!

Oh, and if you want to see when me and Spot first met, you have to check out our old blog! See the Party Time post here.

Well FINALLY I get to have my own post again – and on the flash new blog! I think Kaya was being a bit of a hog, don’t you? Blog hog! Anyways, here is the story of when me and Kaya met Maple!

Maple is a Cocker Spaniel and belongs to Mum and Dad’s friends. They came to stay with us for the night and we got to play lots! Maple is only 4 months old (I’m 5 months) but she acts like a big dog – she wasn’t scared by us at all!

She was HEAPS of fun so I let her climb all over me. She had very sharp little teeth though! This is her standing on my head. I really didn’t mind, cos she is such a cool puppy…

There’s only a month between us! You wouldn’t know it! I am so much bigger. Kaya was doing the annoying worried older sister act. Pfft. Like anything could go wrong. Worry wart!

Having a little rest from the fun…

I can fit almost her whole head in my mouth if I try! Kaya definitely can. That’s a fun game! The humans looked a little worried but they just need to chill out. Us doggies know what we are doing!

I tried hiding from Maple but I’m just too tall, and she’s just too smart! Kaya told me later that when you hide, you have to hide all of your body, not just your head, cos they can still see the rest of you even if you can’t see them. Hmmm, good advice. I will take that on board.

Kaya even let Maple climb all over her too! Maple sure likes biting. I am told she will grow out of it though so that’s ok.

Wow, Maple is really little. I wonder if I was ever that little? I wonder how big she will grow? Such a funny little thing!

Mum also took some video of us playing with Maple, so you can see how good we were with her! I hope we get to play with her again soon.

OH and you can also see more photos of us and Maple from when we went to the beach the next day! Just check out Maple’s Mum’s blog post Life is Good and The Spit.
