'Tis The Season

Fa La La La Laa


Mummy put the Christmas tree up over the weekend.
I helped of course mostly chasing the baubles and decorations thinking that they were my new toys.
I love this time of year. It is my very first Christmas with my new mum and I can't wait for Santa Paws to come.

Happy Birthday Boaz

Boaz is 16 years old today and can you guess what his present was?
Yep food, food and more food.


Boaz got apples, carrots and a big salt block for his birthday.

Boaz's Life Story

Boaz was born in New Zealand on Nov 26th 1992
His mothers name was Joanna Bell also from New Zealand and his Father name was OK Bye from U.S.A.

Boaz's first 8yrs of his life was spent racing under the name of "Hydro Scooter". He won 19 races, 21 seconds, and 23 thirds. Approximately $59,000 prize money in those 8yrs of racing.

Boaz's last race was on the 19th Febuary 2000 and then he came to Australia on April 19th 2000.

He was sold and become a pleasure/trail riding horse after that.

My mum bought Boaz from a trail riding place in Leslie Vale on March 3rd 2007 (Yes the very day I was born. How's that for coincidence!)

Boaz's life now is spent lazing around, eating, playing in the mud, more eating and getting spoiled rotten.

I have no toys

By Gizmo

Aaarggh, it's not fair. My chew toys were taken off me over the weekend and put in the rubbish bin.

First to go was my purple bone that I had started to de-stuff.

Second was my chicken, I nearly ate his beak off and mum was afraid I'd swallow it.


And lastly my green boomerang that I decided to chew a hole in just today.


All of them gone for good. Why Why Why!
Looks like I will have to go back to playing with my food even though it's wrong.

Why do they make dog toys that say you have to remove them if dogs start to eat them. Hello they're dogs, that's what they do.
How stupid is that!

Does anyone know of any toys that are safe if dogs start to eat them? I can't seem to find any.
And has anyone tried those latex type toys that are supposed to be bite proof?

I give Gizmo those rawhide treats to chew on but instead of chewing on them, he plays with them and his toys he's supposed to play with, he eats!

Huge Flower - By Gizmo

Oh My Dog, look what's come out in my backyard.

A humongous flower that's bigger than me.


It looks and smells so pretty. I wish it could stay that way forever.
Do you all like my flower?

Dog Whisperer - By Gizmo

My mum's been watching the Dog Whisperer on T.V lately and now she's starting to learn some things that she's trying on me.

On today's episode there was a miniature pinscher who had an obsession with his ball. Yes that's right, he had the same problem as me.
The dog whisperer told the Pinschers owners that this was not a healthy obsession to have and that they had to break him of it so now my mum is doing the exact same thing to me and Sweep.

On a plus side, my ball is no longer kept up high, out of my reach. Instead my mum owns the ball on the ground now and I must lay down and be calm before she will throw it.
Once she throws it, I must wait calmly and patiently until she tells me that I'm allowed to go and get it.
If I get over excited or I don't obey then my mum gives me the claw grab with her hand till I calm down.

Sigh This training stuff is really hard.

Dogs Day Out In Hobart

I had a very busy, fun-filled day today.
I went to something called Dogs Day Out or Pets on the Domain.
It's an annual event hosted by the Hobart Dog Walking Association and Hobart City Council.
This was my very first time there and I had loads of fun.

I got to see and play with all different types of dogs.

This Is Wellington

Hey look it's a dog like Lorenza












I also entered a fancy dress competition to which I got 2nd place in the Category "Man about Town."
Not bad seeing how I was dressed 'casual' because I didn't know it was a black tie competition and most other competitors were wearing tuxedos.



After all it was a good day and I was very well behaved.
My mummy was a bit concerned how I'd be around all the other dogs but she need not of worried. I got on with everybody like a house on fire.

I am exhausted now and am going to have a very long nap.


I'll be by later to check see how everybody's weekend was spent.
