sleepies, hairstyles and temper tantrums

All that leaping and swimming in the ocean can be quite exhausting.

What's that? Is Elsie still alive? I don't know! Let's take a closer look and see.

Well it looks like she might be..

Whoops, looks like we accidently woke her up.
  

Fred: You're in for it now mum. You know how much she hates to be woken up

Hrmm.. so it seems.
  

Fred: Told ya...

Well, maybe it's time that you got up again anyway eh, Elsie? You sleep too much as it is..

Elsie: Like I really have a choice..
  

Hang on a second, whats that on your forehead Elsie?
    

Elsie: Oh, this? You like it? I thought I'd try for a mohawk hairstyle. Spice it up a little you know.
The same haircut can get a bit boring after a while..

Elsie: What do you boys think? Harry?

Harry: Umm.. not sure...

 Fred: Yeah, good idea Harry. Let's just keep quiet.

Elsie: Oh come on boys! Just tell the truth! Stop fudging around!

 Fred: Geez Elsie. No need to throw a temper tantrum. It's just a hairstyle.

Elsie in the Sky with Diamonds

Elsie: What on earth is all this stuff?

Elsie: Hrmm, I think these are what hooomans call Die-munds! 

Fred: Huh? Did you say Diamonds??

 

Fred: Where?? I don't see any...

 Elsie: They're just here! Oh wait.. where did they go?
 

Fred: See? I told you there weren't any..

Elsie:  But.. maybe they moved. Let me just try and dig here..

Elsie: Hrmm... I wonder where they all went...

Fred: That's alright. Doesn't matter. Let's play chasies instead. I'll give you a heads start.

Elsie: alrighty! catch me if you can!

 

Elsie starts up

She starts to gain momentum...
 

and ends up looking a bit like wile e coyote...

ignoring my jibe she continues her run..

 and then starts to turn the corner

 
and then she soooooooooooaaaaaaaaarsss!

 Elsie: haha, told you you couldn't beat me!

Elsie: Fred? Hello? Where'd he go??

Big Dogs and Little Dogs

You remember Harry, Elsie's paramour don't you?

 

 No?

Aww.. poor Harry. Here let me refresh your memory

Now do you remember him?

Harry's a sweet little boy and when he's not busy chasing Elsie to give her a kiss he chills out on the deck at his mummy's feet.

  
 
While the Big Dogs chill out on the grass instead.

busted peeking puppies

Walked into the living room and this is what I see.

Elsie: I wasn't peeking I swear. But mum it would've been nice if you could've got me something from the shop. I like presents!

Fred: What? No, we weren't peeking! I was just lying here on the ground. See that wet mark on the floor? I did that. Promise! Hrmm Elsie, mum doesn't look to convinced. I think we're busted.

hot weather and princess tantrums

 Elsie: Do you notice how it's often very hot between December and February?

Fred: I hadn't really, but now that you mention it, it does seem quite hot.

Elsie: You're not really all that observant, are you Fred?

   
Elsie: Oh, don't get all uppity. It's too hot to argue with you and show you that I'm right. I don't think I can take this heat much longer!

Fred: Oh stop being such a drama queen, Elsie.

   
Elsie: It's hot, and you know it! Anyway, I'm a PRINCESS! Princesses aren't sposed to suffer through heat like this!
   

 Elsie: Princess. So hot...

 Fred: alright, Els. Stop your whingeing. Move on over so I can get some shade too!

 

Elsie: Not bloody likely, buster!

 

Will Lick For Food

Fred: My name is Fred and I'm a total sweetheart.
I'll lie at your feet all day if you let me, and have my belly available for any tummy rubs that you see fit to grant. See this big wide tongue? It is also available for grooming.
I have many references I can provide for long foot licks - I can do toes, feet and shins! And that's just humans!
If you have another puppy around I can also groom their face and ears as well.

Elsie: Yeah, I'd probably advise against the puppy grooming. Last time he did me he slobbered all over my face. Mum wasn't too keen on petting me afterwards. Kept on making comments about how I had dog slobber all over my head.

Fred: Hrmpff Els! You're ruining my sales pitch!

Elsie: Hrmpff yourself. I'm just telling it as it is. If you're going to use me as a reference I gotta be honest. My own reputation's on the line here!

 Elsie: Geez, talk about doing someone a favour. That's the thanks I get for being honest.

Elsie: I think I might just go and find something else to keep myself occupied rather than hang around ungrateful puppies.

Elsie: *mutters*

The conversation that goes nowhere

Elsie: Hey you...

Fred: Are you talking to me?

Elsie: Umm... Yeah! Who else would I be talking to?

Fred: Well I wasn't sure, you see
   

Elsie: Well do you see any other dogs here?? 

Fred: Umm... Is this a trick question?

  
Fred: I never can tell with you, Elsie
