Hi all,

I know it's been a while but I have been busy doing nothing........to be honest my mum had been on the computer most days so I didn't get a chance....

Anyway, woof, woof, we had a great outing yesterday. My auntie Gill rang to see if we wanted to go to Kina beach with Alice and another man-dog....of course we are always up to it. And wouldn't you know it, it was Jonesie...who we had met at Kizzy and Karma's a few weeks back. He was very friendly then, coming straight into our car to greet us.....I think he remembered us...and I had a lovely time with him, Frankie as always trailed behind. And it was a fantastic long walk....wish we would do it more often. Just don't tell Karma that I enjoyed myself with another dog, he might get jealous....but hey then I don't know what he is up to in Christchurch...I heard through the grape wine that he had pleasurable walks with other girls!!! Anyway....off to see if mum share a bit of breakfast with me......woofie woof, Pebbsie

Gorgeous new outfits

2010-05-23T19:30:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

what an exciting night we had.....Mum put on a dinner for her friend Clare, she is Karmas mum, and it was a lovely surprise to see that Karma and Kizzy came too. There was a lot of sniffing and playing going on, I can tell you. Our other friend Katja, a German shepherd, was also invited. She is a good old girl and we always have a good time together. Anyway, her Dad Dennis had been to a place far far away.....I think they call it the USA.....and on his travels he came across those most beautiful outfits for us all. They are like little Bandanas which you pull through the collar and don't we look swish in them?! (see photo!) I am now also called Sparkles... :-) and Frankie is called Checkers. Kizzy and Karma got a sort of Tiger/ Leopard outfit....gosh he did look handsome...I could have eaten him right there and then. The golden/orange colour does go very well with his beautiful shiny black fur. But I am sure he thought I looked gorgeous too.

Anyway...only 2 hours till dinner...I better do some more resting and relaxing.....only just had a run around with Katja and Frankie in the garden.

Woofie Woof, Pebbsie Sparkle

Cabin fewer

2010-05-15T21:46:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

yawn....it's been one of those days.....mostly inside because it's still raining! But we might sneak in a little walkies around the property......looks like it's clearing a little.

But I forgot to tell you that my boyfriend ask me to come on a romantic walk with me the other day....well romantic....we ate grass together and did a lot of sniffing on Rabbit Island. Frankie and Kizzy were also there. They are just so alike.....not much drive, I'd say. Karma agreed. But it was still a lovely time out and I hope Karma's feet are okay.....after all he is getting on a bit....not that I notice though. :-) To me he is still a spring chicken! And he does smell nice to. I tried to put on some special perfume for him too. But my mum disagreed. She said horsepoo is not that great a smell....what does she know!!!!

Anyway I see dad lurking and only little drops of rain now, not buckets full...so I better be off.....

Woofie woof Pebbsie, bored!

Pebbsie here again......what looked like a promising weekend ended up being not that exciting after all......the boyfriend never came..... :-(..... but maybe this week I will get to go on an outing with him. I better go and snuggle up with Frankie....woofie woof, Pebbsie

Exciting Weekend

2010-05-06T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

Frankie here today....and NO, I am not always sleeping.

Pebbsie told me the good news today.....we have our beloved friends Kizzy and Karma coming over tomorrow night. I bet you it will be a great party!!! Wonder if Karma is going to wear his fancy shoes?! I will post a nice video of Kizzy trying them on...it's hilarious.

And on Sunday we are all invited to some new friends for a picnic and allowed to roam on the new property. Shame Jackson and Katja aren't going to make it. So all in all a busy weekend for us socializing.

I better make sure I get enough sleep beforehand, so nighty night,

Frankie signing off

Famous dogs!

2010-05-04T19:14:00.001-07:00

Hi All,

hope your German is good.....just wanted to let you all know that we are famous....we were filmed by a German film crew, a while ago.....don't we look beautiful....I think the camera man was smitten with us and totally fell in love with us.

By the way....I know my mum went to my boyfriends place today....I could sniff his beautiful perfume on her clothes....but I am not talking to her at the moment...because she didn't take me!!! And I know Karma would have run to the car to check if I was there........oh......I just miss him......mum please take me next time!!!!

Ah and Frankie is sleeping of course!

Cheerio

Pebbsie

Working hard in the garden

2010-05-03T23:01:00.000-07:00

Phew....I think I need some rest....I helped my mum and dad digging in the garden, even Frankie helped....and blimey that clay is as hard as concrete.....I am surprised my mum and dad are still upright!!! But they put some nice new trees in for us to lay under in the summertime....hmmmm...dosing off in the shade and thinking about bones or rabbits.....hmmmmm, perfect.

My mum is currently feeding the ducks and chucks next door. She even takes me occasionally....unfortunately I have to stay in the car, but I tell you, my mouth waters seeing all those duckies waddling towards me.

Oh I think I better leave because my mum is going to start cooking in the kitchen and if I give her one of my cutest looks, I might even get a little tidbit!

So woofie woof and nighty night, Pebbsie signing off.

Me watching the grass grow
Do you think he is to big to go into my mouth?
well I did outgrew him eventually
my first and I am sad to say last time in mum and dad's bed
My mum and me....I think I posted that already but I just love her so much...

What is cuddly, soft and furry and black?

2010-05-02T12:47:00.000-07:00

Me and my mum and uncle Pete
Uncle Pete, sideways, he is a bit that way...:-)
Auntie Clare, she liked to sniff me....not anymore though!!!
Me and a little bit of my mum
me and my dad

No it's not my boyfriend Karma.....but....hurray mum and dad went out yesterday to by us some new cuddly blankets to sleep on. Dad got annoyed at our forever leaking beanbags!!! And I must say I shed a tear or two when they were thrown out (my dad is very good at that!) but the new blankies made me forget about it all. :-) Frankie only just tried hers out this morning but I had a top notch sleep on both of them, first at my dads side and then my mum's.
Anyway, we farewelled the guests yesterday and I personally helped with the clean up......I made sure the toilet paper rolls get recycled. Frankie and Kizzy and Karma love them too.
Now I am still trying to find our new comments we had gotten....must ask mum where I can see them....I am all excited!
I also heard that some of you really liked my baby photo.....so here are a few more of me.....sorry we haven't got any of Frankie since she came to us when she was already all grown up.
Nice and sunny here this morning and I hope Mum and Dad will take us for a nice Walkies again. Yesterday we enjoyed the beach at the Kumaras in Motueka and on Saturday we went to one of our favourite spots at Eves Valley....a eautiful bushwalk with a little stream to play in and lots of sniffing to be done....beautiful.
Woofie woof Pebbs and you guessed it Frankie is sleeping!

A sad but sunny day

2010-04-30T19:31:00.000-07:00

Hi all....I know it's just a few of you who follow my day to day activities....and I am very sad today...because nobody leaves any comments for me to read! :-( Maybe if I leave some incentives...??? Like....you can give me free cuddles when you see me..???? Maybe that will work?
But apart from that I am a happy puppy and the sun is shining and Frankie, of course, is sleeping with the sun shining on her belly. Pssssttttt....Dad is nodding off too.
I charmed the guests yesterday and showed them my best hunting practice for Woodpigeons....Frankie (at that time not sleeping) gave her meanest bark. I think the guests were impressed!!
Well I think I do a bit of "airing out" myself (meaning laying on my back, all four paws up and letting the sun and wind in) and leave you all to think about your actions or inactions!!!! You can't have a little puppy like myself and Frankie go all unnoticed, unloved and unwanted!!! So send us a post!!!! Woof Woof!

raining dogs and cats

2010-04-29T17:11:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

it's pouring down with rain, which is great in a way because I will be able to play in the muddy puddles but not so nice for our guesties, and from experience those humans are not so keen on our nice "wet dog parfume".
Oh....hold on.... I can smell some toast.....my mum must be making Lunch....see if I can give her one of my cutest looks and beg myself into a piece of toast....I am easily pleased.
And yes you guessed it , Frankie is .....sleeping!!!
Off to check out the toast.....sniff sniff, Pebbs, signing off

PS: You'd think it was raining frogs....found a cute little one in the swimming pool yesterday....but he was faster then me... :-(

Hi all,

blimey, we had a very busy day today.......we had a surprise visit from my boyfriend Karma and his sister Kizzy.....I ran my little socks off to impress him....I think he likes me! :-) He left some nice marks on the lawn behind, for me to sniff at when he is not around, so I won't forget him!

Well, as always Frankie is sleeping......and I am better of into my little basket too.....because we have to be up early to get ready for new guests and also our dad will come home toorrow, wooffie....so nighty night.....signing off Pebbs.......

PS: I thought I share my favourite photo with you all, it's of my boyfriend Karma and of myself of course.......I think we are a handsome couple.

Starting

2010-04-28T15:15:00.000-07:00

Phew.......that was hard work (getting the blog started), especially since Frankie told me to do the typing....very difficult with two big paws!!! Mind you my mum had trained me early-see photo. But that was about 3 years ago and my paws are much bigger now. Frankie is....of course....sleeping!!! She does that best!!!

Anyway I better log off, lots of sniffing to do in the garden and I must try to catch these little bunnies which keep teasing me....woofie woof from Pebbs
