Long time no update, doggies!

With a little more time on my hands during the Christmas/New Year break, I got around to getting my camera out more often to show you guys what my little beloveds have been up to.

Fred and Rosie had a fairly quiet Christmas, although we spent the day after Boxing Day down on the South Coast.

In typical fashion, I've left half my photos at home so I can only show you some of the pics I took. However, I must tell you some super exciting news - Freddie finally went swimming!!! I will post up pics soon. Promise!

The pic below is after Freddie went swimming. Sitting on the back deck he certainly looks like a big mass of a dog.

Freddie the Big Dog

As you can see, he's slowly growing into his looks. To me he looks more like a teenager now. Here is a full body shot:

What a handsome boy!

Here is Rosie ignoring us again:

Rosie: "I wonder where all my minions are"

And here is a pic of the dog pack...

Rosie: "can we come in yet, mum?"
"

The little jack russell is called Harry. He is the fiance's mum's dog.
You may (or may not) recognise him from other posts. Harry's a very
sweet and brave doggie. Harry's only small, but he is always wanting to
play with our dogs. In the pic below, Harry is showing doggie affection
by whispering sweet nothings into Freddie's ear. Or maybe he's just
giving Freddie a little lick.

Harry: I wish I was strong enough to open this door...

Rosie: "Gosh, rolling under the house into cobwebs was fun"

Can you see the cobwebs around her face and on her shoulders?

Fred: "So I was thinking, my right side is my Best Side. What do you think?"

Here is Fred on the way home from the Coast. I happened to look over, and got some of The Cutest pictures...

Below is my absolute favourite:

Fred: "I wuv you mum"

Back at home, I was greeted with two very exhausted puppies:

Rosie: "Oh gosh I'm SO BORED"

Rosie: "Is there a fly on my head? Can you get rid of it for me? I'm too tired..."

Fred: "Hey Rosie?" Rosie:" Ssh, sleepy time now Fred"

Fred: "mum, what you doing?" Rosie: "man, I'm sooo bored"

Now this is a really sweet pic of Rosie:

Hiding Rosie

Overexposing Rosie

She's been super affectionate lately. I've been trying to give her a bit more attention, since I usually just lavish attention on Fred. Fred was actually quite put out the other night when I gave Rosie lots of cuddles. He just lay there on the carpet looking confused. As if to say "what on earth are you doing mum? Rosie NEVER gets cuddles. Only *I* do. That's the RULE."

And on the right here is just a pretty artistic shot of Rosie. Since she's so black when you overexpose the picture the effect is pretty cool. You get to see all her markings a lot clearer. These closeups just make you think she must've been SUCH a cutie when she was a puppy.

Fred: "Huh? I think I just heard something!"

And here are some very cute actions shots:

"oh"

Fred: "Ok mum, what are you doing now?"

Mum: "Now stick your tongue out..."Fred: [obliges] This is silly, mum"

I promise to put up the rest of the pics soon. Meanwhile, here's something to keep you entertained while you wait:

I am a Lion - hear me roar!
