I think Boaz is supposed to look like a giant fly in order to scare all the small, pesky flies away. If that's the case it doesn't work very well. I scare more flies away just by opening up my mouth.

Sun Shades
I hope my shades don't make me look as ridiculous as Boaz's shades do him?

I hate Tassie weather
After a few days of warm - hot weather, 33 (92) on Tuesday and 26 (79) on wednesday, it is now back down to only 12 (54) degrees on Friday. Grrrr!
Mum had to put clothes on me because I was shivering. I've lost my winter coat for summer so now I have nothing to keep me warm but my clothes from petitude and blankets.
Tasmanian weather is spastic. It can go from hot and sunny to cold and cloudy in less than a day.
It has always been this way but I just can't seem to get used to it.
We can't put the heater on because it is forecast to be hot again on Sunday and then the house will be too hot and we'll have to run the AC flat out to get it back down again.
No wonder people get sick. The weather is up and down like a yo yo.
Hello where has the sun gone, it's supposed to be Summer!

Off leash...finally
Over the weekend Mummy decided that I was well behaved enough to be allowed to go off leash.
I was a bit confused at first but soon got the hang of it.
I had so much fun playing with Sweep outdoors because I had further to run to catch him as you can see in the pics and video below.
It's very tiring though doing all that running because I am only small.

Long car ride - By Gizmo
On Saturday I went on an extremely long drive with mum and dad to get 50 bales of grass hay for Boaz. It was a 90 minute drive each way to some place called Ellendale and then it took a long time for mum and dad to load and unload the hay as well.
I slept for most of it but I wanted to tell you all that I am very upset with Boaz who doesn't seem the least bit grateful to us for getting him new hay. In fact he doesn't even seem to like his new hay at all because he got so spoilt on lucerne for a month when mum ran out of grass hay.
This new hay cost my mum alot of money and it also cost me a great chunk out of my schelduled playtime so you'd think he'd show at least some gratitude.
I don't know...Horses!
The only good news is that this new hay is lasting Boaz all day long now because he is not gutsing it all in 1 hour like he does lucerne. That's gotta be better for his digestion.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'll be by later to check see what you all got up to.

Mum is depressed
My mummy is very sad today. My daddy hired people to drill a hole in Boaz's paddock in the hopes of finding water. We are in a serious drought down here in Tassie and poor Boaz hasn't had any fresh grass in ages. He goes through 2 bales of lucerne hay a week, approx 100 bales a year. Now I'm no good at maths but at $12 per bale, mummy says it costs her $1200 a year just on lucerne hay and that's not including grass hay at $8 a bale, chaff at $38 a bag & pellets at $25 a bag.
Daddy was hoping to find water in a boar so then they could have sprinklers and grow Boaz some grass. Not to mention also water so they can have showers and do laundry & give me baths too.
The drilling company charge $145 per metre they have to drill and today they drilled down 70 metres and still did not find any water so my daddy lost alot of money with nothing to show for it but a big old hole.
The water diviner daddy hired to come out and tell him where to drill said they'd strike water between 52 and 64 metres down. He charged $200 to give us this information (95% success rate) and he was wrong.
I'm glad I'm not a human. Life sucks for them sometimes.
Anyway here is a pic of them drilling and my dad's redundancy money from Blundstones going down the toilet, or should I say hole.
Notice how low the dam is on the far right. Once upon a time, a long time ago, it used to be full.
I wonder where the silver lining could be?

New Year Surprise
Look what happened on New Years Eve.
Mum's fish had babies, tonnes of them.
They're very tiny so you may need to click on the photo to enlarge it in order to see them better.
They're Geophagus sp. Tapajos commonly known as Red head or Orange Head here in Australia. They grow to be about 10 inches long so we won't be able to keep them unfortunately.

Peek-a-boo
I'm back, did ya miss me?
Mummy has been sooo busy with the holiday period and I've been having to tag along with her that I haven't had time to post or visit everyone's blogs. Sorry about that.
Everything should be back to normal now though. Thank Dog because I am exhausted!
