Since today was a public holiday – Queens Birthday – (Even though the Queen’s REAL birthday is some time in April…) I had TWO whole days to spend with my human! Sunday wasn’t too exciting, I just sat on the couch and watched my human do this thing called ‘housework’. But today was fantastic! We went to a special place where pups are allowed!

My human and I went on a much needed girly shopping spree! Together we picked out a giant tennis ball, some stuffies, veggie pigs ears and a neat rubber ball that has a bell in it, and of course clothes! Its very hard to find clothes in my size, since mostly little doggies wear clothes…people think big dogs should be tougher than little pups…that we should be ‘real’ dogs. I don’t believe any of this!
Us doggies are all the same! Some people are just size-ist!

The lady at the shop was very helpful! She dressed me up in all the clothes in my size, while my human stood there with her hands full of toys! All the people in the shop were gushing over how fabulous I looked in each coat!

Normally I wont wear clothes for two reasons – its supposed to be warmer here than in New Zealand, and because I have a fur coat! But recently on the Gold Coast, its been super chilly…colder than New Zealand! The news told my human its the coldest winter in 11 years.
All this week, my humans hands have swelled up and gone numb during our morning walk its so cold!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of New Zealand, my human found a kiwi shop down the road! She picked up a few things, and told me next time she would pick up some fish for me! She discovered all sorts of seafood there, from hoki, to kina and paua! But of course, my human has to be difficult and be all ‘vegan’ so she got this stuff: 

Of course with so much time on our hands we couldn’t forget to go for an awesome walk, so we went back to the park, to work on my water phobia and guess what! I actually made splashes in the water today!

  I also went up to my belly in the water!

It was pretty intense! I think I’m actually starting to like the water! It also helped there were little duckies egging me on to go in the lake with them.
Of course, we did go for a stroll around the park for an extra hour, where I met a young boisterous black lab named Max… I grumped at him! He was just too playful for me! I swear! My human told me off for it, and gave me a big lecture all the way home about how ‘I used to be extra playful just like him’ and blah blah blah…so I fell asleep.

People are always at the park, doing lots of different things, like BBQ’s picnics, riding bicycles, even doing photo shoots! A bunch of young fancy humans were doing some modelling, so I decided to do some of my own! I posed, and did some ‘action’ shots!

Hopefully I’ll have something just as awesome to share with you next week!
