FRIDAY NIGHT DOG BLOG - ANNIVERSARY WEEK

Monday, 19 February 2007 marked Dexter's anniversary at our place. It sure has been an experience, but we have had to learn that have changed us for the better, and I cannot judge how he has changed. It is fair to say that Sasha has got along well with him. She does not take a submissive role in their post dinner gambols. Nor did she object when she had an opportunity to taste the Cherry and Apple pie with ice cream on Monday.

Now, of course, this dog blog is not merely photos with a weather report; it also includes household events. I am finding it increasingly difficult to get up in the morning, or get to bed early. This is a problem because as the almost fully able-body human, I have carers duties following a hospital operation to remove a plate in the clavicle (collar bone) that was over and out of hospital in a day.

Still the dogs did go out. We share our walking path with motor bikes, mini-bikes and mountain bikes which each represent potential perils, and today we saw a black bush wallaby, which I think did not, as others have before, not appreciated my singing. I was caught up by how fluidity and grace of the animal's movement. Of course, Dexter was a bit interested. So I had to hold him and Sasha, who at times shows extraordinary insouciance. I was further conflicted since the camera has been dropped on past occasions.
