Beach Day!
14 May 2011 3 Comments
Sorry we haven’t updated in a while, our internet doppleganger-thinga-majig is very sensitive when it rains or is a bit stormy!
So my Nana & Granddad from New Zealand came to visit me! They even bought me a toy!
My human thought it would be fun for all of us if we went to the beach for a picnic, and a big learning experience for me. I have only ever been to the beach once in my whole life, and it was a pretty quiet beach, not a huge loud surf beach like the ones here on the Gold Coast!
So we packed my bag full of toys and poo bags and headed to Nana & Granddad’s apartment, where doggies aren’t allowed! But I was allowed to sneak in! See Nana & Granddad own the apartment and stay there sometimes, and they’re on the body corporate committee…so they’re breaking their own rules!
The manager says I’m cute anyway, so he will always let me in! Here’s a quick video of our day at the beach.
Remember my dog-flatmate Missy? Well! She has gotten us doggies of the house
in a lot of trouble! Well…not her, her human has.
My human and I discovered that she was not trained to do ANYTHING! My human tried training her to sit, but then Missy’s human would come along and say no she doesn’t want to sit because the tiles are too cold….when I was sitting on them without a problem! Her human would tell her she was a good girl when she would bite me for no apparent reason, and when she would bark at everything! Then we discovered she wasn’t house trained! And she’s older than me! My human was terrified I would learn her bad habits.
My human tried taking a polite approach to the situation by offering books on dog obedience and showing her the things she should know, but her human took no notice. So my human (who is like a dog with a bone! She couldn’t let it go! She complained to the owner of the house who told Missy’s human to either train her, or she isn’t allowed in the common areas of the house. Unfortunately she chose the lazy and irresponsible way out, and now NO doggies are allowed in the common areas! Even though I’m a good doggie who always does what I’m told! The house owner even says so! *sigh* My hu
man and the owner said hopefully she will feel the pressure and leave and then i can go back to hanging out in the lounge.
On the plus side I get to hang out in my back yard all day now! My human doesn’t want to keep me cooped up inside all day. Yay! But she does keep a close eye on me just in case i find a scary Australian beastie like a toad or snakes.
Stay tuned for another update from the RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2011!!! Its tomorrow, I’m so excited!!

Ooh, Tofu – that story of Missy’s lazy & irresponsible owner just makes my blog boil!!!!!!!
People like that should not be allowed to own doggies!!
Looks like you had an awesome day at the beach!
And hey – did you see my friends on the RSPCA Demo Team at the Million Paws Walk? Especially my really good friends, Phatso the Bull-Arab and Benji the Schnoodle? I was on the team when we were in Brisbane and I am very sad that I’m not able to perform with them at this big event. I miss them terribly as we had so much fun together!!
Hey – I can’t remember – are you in Brisbane or the Gold Coast? If you’re in Brisbane, you shoudl tell your human to check out the RSPCA Animal Training Centre (look on the RSPCA QLD website) as they have all sorts of fun training classes (not just the boring obedience ones) which you might really enjoy doing! And maybe even join the Demo Team!
