AFTER FOUR

With only one month till daylight savings starts we are making the most of our local beach.

Freedom for us doggies off lead before 10am and after 4pm. Seems every dog and his man was down here last Sunday.

Met an oodle and a schnoodle. I think I'm in love with this black one Mum , can we take her home. The Goose and Ash won't mind.

Oh fun, a dog pile. Nope its not Bailey or Charlie Brown. He was a bit of a scaredy so we moved on.

Interviewed a schnauzer but .....................

............. he sloped off and started digging holes in the middle of the interview !

Mum says I seem to now be getting over my barkalottus at black labs. This one didn't need any barking at at all.

Its got four legs and a tail Mum,,, its a DOG.
Met an Auzzie

And a Mozzie. Calm down mate, we could tell it was a Beardie from 5 ks away. I know its exciting but really.

It's getting dark by 6pm but another month to go and the clocks go back. A few more beach trips to go.

Bodie the Ambassador of Pt Chev Beach.

LEARNING TO SWIM

It was only a matter of time wasn't it. I mean this was meant to be the Gooses "thing", but well here I am. Yes I'm looking at you .......

I mean this is lesson 3 for Goose, lesson 1 she was floundering like, well a floundering thing, and now see. Just like an otter. Scything through the water, nice flat body position, no splashin. Show orf.

Typical girl she's now doing multi taskin in the water and doin swimmin and snackin....

And then there's me Bodie the fearless. Hey we are just restin.

Maiden voyage.

Sound the sirens, the ship's going down. Where's my liferaft?

Saved, geeze thanks Karynne a guy was drownin

Now this is relaxing, just lounging about on my arm chair.Well by the end of my session I too am swimmin solo, thanks Goose for letting me share your swim.

Thanks Karynne, can I come back again?

Well on Saturday it wasn't all water sports. In the morning I entered my first rallyo competition and came 3rd on time with full points. Thought I better share my ribbon with Goo as she shared her swim with me. What a guy.

Kiwi: Huh, she breeds akitas

Glaswegians: Huh?

Kiwi: Akeetis

Glaswegian: Cicadas (skeedis = Glasgow which does sound amazingly like Akitas and nothing like cicadas)

BORDER TERRIER FILM FESTIVAL

Us Border Terriers being so cute and highly trainable are often to be found with the starring role in movies and tv advertisements. We all know the movie Something About Mary with Puffy. And Hubble the Border Terrier from Outta Space in Good Boy. This week we have had the Border Terrier Film Festival Down Under with some movies made just for us. So drag up your favourite couch and see if you recognise any of our movies.

Audience is starting to arrive, heres Ruby, Lizzie and Archie with their favourite pawson.

Kenzy & her friend setting in for the show.

Marley and Lola - very patiently waiting for some action.

And Mint the Beagle, would the doggies in the front row please SIT DOWN.

Our movie critic Moss the Sibebord, who seemed to find some of the movies a wee bit skeery.

Our first entry in the drama section "CHARIOTS OF FUR" an action packed movie from NZ.

Entry 2 from the UK. "BRAVEHEART" a tale about the fight for the border by borders.

Entry 3 from NZ - "THE BORDER WEARS PRADA"

Our next drama "BODESHEAD REVISITED" a riveting tale about an incredibly small dog who swans about in an incredibly big house.

Our next entry again from the UK "ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL" starring James Herriot as himself and Bodie as hisself.

Another entry from dinunder - TAXI -

Up next the BEND IT trilogy filmed across 3 continents. "BEND IT LIKE BOOMER" from USA

"BEND IT LIKE GOO" from NZ

"BEND IT LIKE ZACK" - from Canada

The next movie "THE BORDER BUNCH" starring Greg, Marsha, Cindy. oops NOOO that's the other bunch. This movie is about 6 borders and a day at EARTHDOG trials where the dogs go racing down tunnels to find a rat. No rats were harmed in the making of this movie.

The last entry in the drama section "MARLEY & LOLA" a romp through the English countryside and various snackin on the way seen through the eyes of two fearless sqwirrel hunters.

Only two entries in the musical section. "HAPPY FEET" starring Bodie and a rarely seen green flippered South Pacific Penguin.

Move over John Travolta. "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" as you've never before seen it.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. DEAD ANT DEAD ANT DEAD ANT.

One of two entries in the thriller section. Some of us Border Terriers were a bit scared in this movie as we are not all keen on getting more than our toenails wet.

And the "WIZARD OF OZ" which features a very skeery witch. Us Borders being a bit windy this one is classified as PG, as is PAWS.

And finally, instead of putting the ad break at the beginning, we put ours at the end. Hope you enjoyed our movies.
