We had a heart stopping moment yesterday after a swim in the Tomakin River went awry… While I was still putting down the beach towels and doing some filming, Pepper, as usual, had headed straight into the water.
What I hadn’t realised is that there was a very strong outgoing tide and before I [...]

Only two more sleeps and Pepper will be on his first ever holiday! Mum, grandma and 9 yo cousin Erin are headed down to Tomakin on Sunday for two weeks of fun in the sun.
We just hope we don’t lose Pepper on day one given his propensity to hit the water and just [...]

Some long promised photos of Heather’s first swim, and a couple of bonus shots from the memory card…
…along with the least-worst shot of Tiara tonight – Shadow’s sister!

I am a dog, I am a dock, I am a duck. Pepper went for his second swim yesterday, the first having been on lead next to mum down at the lake and a few previous knee deep splashes.
This was his first time off lead. LUCKILY I wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t [...]

Pepper is well and truly over his gangly stage and has filled out into a beautiful boy. He has weighed in today at 13.2kg. Having just looked back through all the photos over the past five months it is hard to believe the time of puppy-hood is already gone
He had his second swim [...]

Quite a few weeks after his ‘little’ sister, Pepper went for his first swim today down at Molonglo Reach on lake Burley Griffin. After 3 hours at school this morning (luckily the puppy class was held inside) and given it was in the 30s, we thought it was a good day to head to [...]

What a stinker. Hot and humid. The worst combination.
Finn doesn’t like swimming. He’ll shrug off his collar back-pedalling out and run away – so the girls and I left him at home.
Gem and Heather had a great old time, and Shadow is getting rather more comfortable in the water too.
Again, I [...]

The recent hot weather has done no good to the kids play area – the lawn is very stressed I’m afraid.
Shadow stayed home while Finn and Gemma went down to the river for a swim this afternoon. Today, I only gently tugged on the lead to get Finn in the water. He made [...]

A hot day yesterday, and hotter today.
I decided to give Gemma some relief from the heat, and head down to the river for a swim. Shadow didn’t much like her last visit (the water was too cold for her), but it was much warmer yesterday.
At first, she had to be almost dragged [...]

Things haven’t been as quiet here as they seem.
Gemma is learning the finer points of the Utility exercises that have eluded her thus far. Going back over our history, she has actually scored full points on every exercise except the Signals exercise. The best we’ve done there is a paltry two points off [...]
