Walkies with Harry!

It's Harry!!!

We were so lucky we got to go for a walk with Harry, the 10 month old Golden Retriever.

We've never met Harry before, although our mum and dad first saw him when he was a tiny bundle of goldenness....but now he is old enough to run and play with us!

Here we are all posing together in the green fields.

Harry was great to chase - and a good sparring partner for Gertrude too We love Killerton - it is so pretty in the spring sunshine
Here I am relaxing with a stick in the long grass
Oh yes....almost forgot to mention...there was quite a few cow-pats around....I couldn't help but try one on for size....

What do you think of my stylish new headgear - I thought I looked quite the bees-knees. Just like daddy's flat-cap I reckon.

There was greenery everywhere and lots of lush grass to eat

By the end of the walk, Gert and I were pretty worn out!

Oh yes - and how could we forget..... Mummy went for her 20 week scan on Wednesday so they could have a good old look at our new baby......and, guess what....

It's a boy!!!

So, sorry Persephone, it looks like we wont be stealing your name after all, or any of the other girls names for that matter.....Buster, well, we'll think about yours but no promises ok!!

Looks peaceful in there don't you think?

Airecuts and BBQ's!

My daddy gave me an airecut.

I am pretty pleased with my smart new look!

Gerta's tail looks like a whippet - she's a whipper snapper alright!

AND -we got a new toy -

THE GOOD CUZ!!

(this is the one without the devil horns - because we are angels)

Watch out - Gertie's about! You've got to keep your wits about you if you want to hold onto a toy when Gertrude is on the prowl...

Cuz is so much fun!

Stand off!

So we just played and played while daddy tended to the BBQ.

There were sausages and chicken -we could hardly wait!

I decided to see what I'd look like with a red curly fringe...
Then it was out to the front garden to bask in the sun until the BBQ was ready

Just checking if it's ready yet dad?

It's a nice life when the sun shines!!

Pawty Down Under!

Wooofarooos!!!

We are going to a pawty!

AND

it's in Australia!

Willow and Putter have kindly invited us to their joint celebration this month and so we better start packing our bags and decide what we should take.

We hear there will be lots of activities: we vote for climbing Ayres Rock best of all - can you believe it??

Thanks for the invitation guys -

can you book us a place on Aire-Ruby - we're coming on down!

(see, it's not just our mum and dad who get to go to Australia - now we're invited too!)

Back home!!

Well - three long weeks are up and it was finally time to leave the Thuglet Basecamp - sigh.

We have had such a great time with the Thuglets and K and A - they have all been so generous to us and made sure that we had the best holiday ever!

THANK YOU THUGLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and thanks to everybody who went to visit us on their blog - didn't they take some brilliant photos??!!)

Here I am on the long trip home watching over daddy's shoulder just to ensure he knew his way home......

Well - 3 weeks of raucous playing in the mud with 6 Airedales can have its toll on girls like us - so when we got home we had a warm soapy bath. Actually, we did smell rather nice and weren't too dirty at all, but you can't beat a good bath to make you all fluffy and cosy again after a long journey.

I leapt into the bath and curled up, waiting for the fun to begin - can you see my huge smile??!!

Gertrude waited patiently for her turn to go under the shower!

But don't worry Thuglets, I've reserved a small amount of special Thuglet mud under my left paw so that I can lick it now and again and remind myself of the fun we all had together....

That evening we were so tired. Everything suddenly caught up on us and we slept and slept for as long as we could. We were both a bit confused and bewildered by our adventures and took a bit of time to adjust to being back home.

Whilst they were in Australia, our mum and dad met up with Noah and his sisters, Brooke (Opy's mum) AND Jo and Tim who are Ellie and Baz's pawrents!

Jo and Tim sent us some amazing squeaky toys - one is a kangaroo an the other is a koala -

THANKS so much, they are brilliant!

Come on, just let us play with the toys!!

Gertrude rather took a shine to the Koala!

AND the Thuglets sent us home with some toys too - we are so so lucky you wouldn't believe it!

We loved playing with the Thuglet's pink hedgehog so much that they gave us our very own hedgehogs - one pink and one yellow!! They make a great noise and are such fun!

As you can see, I am quite fond of the hedgehogs....

Mmmmm....hedgehog.......

I love this pink one!!

There was also this strange looking creature called a wombat.

It isn't for us (yeah right...) but we still tried to see if he would play with us.

(He wouldn't, by the way - boring wombat)

I wasn't so sure about Mr Wombat....

Aaaaah - back home and chilling with daddy.

We have had such an event-filled 3 weeks that we need a bit of time to just recover our breath.

We have so many lovely memories and I know I'll be dreaming of Thuglet Towers for a long long time.....

So long Thuglets - thanks for the fun and for the great howling opportunities!

This video is really funny - here we are meeting Wally the Wombat for the first time....

Hmmm - not too sure about him at all.

(warning, I do bark quite a lot - and Gertrude just does some silly waggy tail dances)!!

With lots of love from

Molly and Gertrude

What a special birthday!!

Well - here it is! Our little sister/brother.......

Apparantly it wouldn't keep still and kept leaping about, but then curled up all sweet for the photograph.

You can see its head on the left and a hand on the chest, then a little foot sticking up on the right - it is tiny!

AND the best bit is.........

We now know it is due on

MY 3RD BIRTHDAY!! (Molly's)

12TH October!

I always knew I had the best birthday in the world and I really hope we can share it.

Imagine the joint birthday parties....

Well - we are all off tomorrow to far flung places, so for the next three weeks you can catch up with us over at the Thuglets blog!

See you!

Love Molly and Gertrude

BIG News!!

Hang on...........

..........something looks suspicious here.

I tried to ask Gertrude to investigate with me

but she just sulked and refused to join in.

Well - the news is out - our mum and dad are abandoning us for THREE WEEKS and going all the way around the world to Australia, where our daddy is from.

But - it's not all bad.....because......

Guess who we're going to stay with for the whole time????

Only

The THUGLETS!!!!

How could we not have fun with these great Dales and their lovely humans??

(we are so lucky!)

But, that's not all. There are also some other strange things going on around here.
For one thing - why are all these toys appearing in the attic room?? That's MY sanctuary, where I like to go for a bit of peace and quiet.

Are they for us?!!

Somehow, I doubt it. But they look like great chewies!

Hmm - there is news of us getting a new 'puppy' brother or sister to play with, but it wont be quite as hairy as us and we hope it wont have a beard. Mum has been collecting these toys for a long long time now, but we have never been allowed to play with them. I hope this new little sister/brother will share with us!

There's talk of all this happening at the beginning of October - hey, that's MY birthday!! Wohooo!

On Thursday, we get to see a photograph of this new little person which will be really magic - I wonder what it will look like?

Well, that's enough news for now -

Take care

Love

Molly and Gertrude
