Winter Weekend

Our weekend was very wintry, it rained and the wind howled and it was a pretty good weekend to stay inside.

I did venture out a few times

Our trivia night on Saturday was fantastic, our result wasn't so great (3rd last) but we had a ball!

I meant to take photos as it was a 70's dress up theme but I forgot :-(

I visited a new cafe for coffee with a friend and wondered why I haven't been there before. 

It isn't new to town just to me.

They sold some lovely things too, it's always good to check 

out the competition. 

My things are lovelier ;-)

I hopped  on the scales for the first time in months and I have decided that despite the weather the dog needs to be taken for a daily walk even 20 minutes would be most beneficial, for him of course.

So I rugged up against the cold and off I went. 

The worst thing about walking/exercising in winter is half way through you are wishing that you weren't wearing quite so many layers.

Oh well the dog appreciates it and perhaps I might get some benefit from it too.

How do you go with exercise in winter?

Puppy Love

Finally.... we have internet!!! As promised I have some photos of Mac. He is growing so very quickly. These were taken when he was 5 1/2 weeks old.

I think the one of him sleeping curled up under the fire is so cute. he won't fit under there for very long at all.

These next photos were taken on Sunday 30th when he was 6 1/2 weeks old.

It's hard to see the difference in photos but believe me he has grown. He is a very cute puppy, he is learning quickly as well as growing quickly.

The Dog House

We picked Mac up on the weekend. He is so cute. Unfortunately I haven't got any new photos of him ready to post yet but I will get on to that soon as he is growing so quickly. It is amazing how much Mac has changed just in the few days we have had him home with us. He is learning things very quickly, like where his food and bed is, where he should go to the toilet (he hasn't learnt this as quickly as I would like but there is definately improvement). His coordination and eyesight have improved dramatically along with his sense of adventure and curiousity. He still sleeps way too much for my son Nicholas who wishes he could wrestle around with him but it won't take long, so I am all for enjoying this puppy time as much as possible.

Mac is still very young, about 5 weeks old, so he currently spends the majority of his time sleeping in the laundry, soon he will need a house of his own. The options are tempting..

Apparently Rachel Hunter's dogs live in style..

I didn't see the pool in Rachel's pooches place, this 'traditional' style house comes complete with a doggy paddling pool, perfect for keeping puppy cool during hot summer days.

What about matching homes....

Perhaps something more classic

or a country style house for quieter times of relaxation and slower paced life

Then there is always this beauty from 'Hello Kitty' retailing for $30k.

If I had have been able to choose the puppy I would have picked one that I could carry around with me in this house.

Poor Mac he will probably just end up with his bed on the back verandah.

We can only dream......
