MULTIPLYING

I told you how Rusty lets me drink out of his waterbowl, didn't I? Well, that dog is soooo friendly.............he also allows the birds to drink from it!!! Not only that, but do you know what else happens? The birds actually take their baths in there!!! Of course it's only big enough for the smaller birds (thank goodness!). Now when I want to take a slurp.........or 2............there are bits of twigs or feathers in that water!!! What is a little girl supposed to do now?

Rusty has been such a hit with everyone & I think that's gone to his head!!! He went & invited a friend to stay..............& it's a girl dog!!! Bronnie is her name & she sits proudly keeping watch over Tasha's memorial garden. She's got long, thin legs & what a tongue!!!!!!! Hey, perhaps it's Bronnie that drinks up Rusty's water!!! Well she doesn't have her own bowl, so I guess she must get pretty thirsty. I gave a thorough 'going over' of that new garden friend! She didn't bat an eyelid either!!! So, guess who's still top dog around here (hee hee)?

I'm off to race around the bedroom carpets.........shhhh! Don't bark out loud! I need to be in & out before Mum cottons on!!! Why? You may well ask! Mum spent ages putting this nice smelling stuff on those carpets & she seemed to be working up a real sweat!!! They are nice & damp now, so that's why I just have to go use them as a racetrack!!!! Kinda makes you wonder how long those floor coverings will remain clean, doesn't it (ha ha)?

'til next time...........
Keep wagging those tails! xxx

Puff, puff, pant!!! Phew, that sun sure has a kick to it!
I think it's time to visit Rusty (hee hee).

Rusty moves in

“Wait ‘til you see what I’ve got for you, Zahli!” Ooooeeee, that was sweeeet music to these little furry ears! Visions of delightful tummy filling goodies danced before me. Then again, perhaps I was about to receive a new toy!!! I looked up at Mum, eyes bulging & heart racing with anticipation……..& she heads for the back door!!!

I jumped excitedly (a bit like a Kangaroo really), from the steps to the path, then onto the pavers (still no surprise!), & twirling wildly, I headed for the lawn where Mum was standing, smiling. Well, where was this great treat then? “His name is Rusty!” Mum stated.

Standing before me, under the bush, was this little brown fellow with the skinniest short legs I’d even seen! His large floppy ears looked just like Dumbo’s!!! He was a happy little chappy though! His head nodded & his tail (that coincidentally, curled just like mine, but in the opposite direction!), wagged nonstop.  Rusty obviously liked me because he let me sniff him & then………..drink from his water bowl!!!! How cool is that? And yes, that water was really cool & in complete contrast to our 34 degree sunshine!!!

That little fellow has made himself right at home. Hard as I try, Rusty won’t leave his post in order to run wildly with me, over field & dale!!!! He does know just how to put a smile on their dials though. The trouble is………he just wants to stand there, head nodding & tail wagging……….all the time! He should’ve been named………..Noddy, I reckon (ha ha)!!!

  

Phew! I need to down some of Rusty’s water now! This tropical weather we’re having lately is enough to send a little furball……..troppo!!!!

If you’re at all keen on taking a squiz at this addition to our family, just look below!

Until next time…………..keep some sunshine in your hearts & some goodies in your bellies!

Waggy tails, Lhasa licks,

Zahli xxx

Ha Ha Ha, tricked ya!
