Camera Critters - Moo!

JD - Hi everyone! Yesterday was SUCH a great day!

Max - It was one of those glorious autumn days - the sun was out and it was wonderfully warm with no wind, female human said it was like 'a gift'.

JD - So she took the afternoon off work and took us to the nature reserve. We were there for most of the afternoon enjoying a wonderful, wonderful walk along the seafront and in the fields.

Max - We had SO much fun! Here are some photos....

'Holland Haven' nature reserve is wonderful, with the sea to splosh around in on one side....

....and wonderful fields for romping in on the other!

"So human - which way are we going, eh? Sea or fields? Fields or Sea?"

We love to gaze out over the fields, with the sound of the sea right behind us....



.....what a view!


"Shall we go down there then and have a romp?"


"Hey, JD - hurry up! I can see something we can pose with for 'Camera Critters!'"


"Hey, JD - what does 'Moo' mean?" "Dunno Max! I don't speak cow....!"

Tummy Tickle Tuesday - a serious dilemma!

Max - For today's 'Tummy Tickle Tuesday' post I'm sending a plea out to all my bloggie pals out there for advice and guidance!! As the weather here is changing and it's getting colder we're starting to snuggle under warm blankies. But what's a pup to do when he's snug under a blanket AND he wants a tummy tickle? As you can see below I have 'assumed he position' but as my tummy is covered no tickle is forthcoming from female human - gasp!

Exhibit A - a tickle-less tummy lies beneath the blanket....

Max - If any pup out there has any suggestions of how to overcome this serious dilemma it would be most appreciated.

JD - *Rolls eyes!* Oh brother!!!!

Pet Pride - Snug as a Bug!

JD - Autumn is really on its way here - the leaves are falling off the trees, the days are getting shorter, the wind is whipping up and the temperatures are dropping.

Max - There was frost on the ground this morning - we had cold paws for a while whilst out on our walk.

JD - So we like to snuggle up and keep warm at home now. We have a routine....

Max - First we have a bit of a play with Flea - he's our favourite toy!

We love Flea - he's our bestest friend!!

JD - Then we try out the sofa - we like it when the humans are around to cuddle up with!

JD - "You just can't beat a good neck snuggle!"

Max - If we manage to manipulate - erm - we mean, look cute enough, our humans will even tuck us up nice and cosy!

"Ooooh, cosy blankie snugness!"

JD - The best is when we snuggle on their laps AND they tuck us up - oooh, bliss!

"A lap below, a blankie above, all after a good long romp at the field - life doesn't get much better!"

Max - Happy Pet Pride everyone! Please do go over to Bozo's meme to check out all the fun there - just click on the button below.

"Zzzzzzz!!"

Join in the fun at Pet Pride....

Thankful Thursday

JD - We wanted to do a happy post where we could share with our bloggie pals something that we're thankful for.

Max - Yup! We know that 'Thankful Thursday' is something that a few other blog pawticipants do - we thought it was a very nice idea so we thought we'd take a break from our busy schedule and give it a try too!

JD - "Leggo of the tug toy Max - we need to concentrate on Thankful Thursday!"

JD - So - we want to dedicate this post to our good blog pals - Fatty and Ally! Oh yes, and their humans too, he he he!

Max - Fatty and Ally are two very pretty little Schnauzer sisters who have a really stylish and fun blog.

Ally and Fatty show off their new car!

JD - They have a wicked sense of humour - their blog postings always make us giggle!

Max - But the reason that we're singling them out for our "Thankful Thursday" is because of what great friends they are! About a year ago our humans booked a holiday to Kuala Lumpur for February 2010 - it was because their local airport had just started doing trips to this part of the World and were offering really good value flights.

JD - Our humans tell us that flying from a local airport 'makes all the difference' - we can't comment as hadn't realised that our humans could fly! Wow - they kept that quiet!

Max - We're kind of in shock about that news! Anyway, they booked this flight - and the reason it was booked so far into the future was because female human had just taken redundancy from her old job so didn't want to travel until she had sorted a few things out - like getting a new (and better!) local job and getting us, which she has now done!

JD - Anyway, earlier on this year we all got to know Fatty and Ally through their wonderful blog. And - wow! - Fatty and Ally also live in Kuala Lumpur!

Ally looks a bit fed up with the flashy box, whilst Fatty hams it up!!

Max - We let Fatty and Ally know that our humans were going to be visiting and that they would love to meet up if the chance arose!

JD - And do you know what Fatty and Ally did when they heard this? They went out and took loads of amazing photographs and started to produce several tailor-made travel guides, just for our humans! For example - our humans told Fatty and Ally what hotel they had booked and Fatty took her daddy out to the actual hotel and took pictures of it so that they could get a feel for it!!

Max - Isn't that simply amazing?! Our humans have been blown away by their kindness - and are now even MORE excited about visiting! So far these gorgeous girls have published not one, not two, but THREE travel guides, JUST for our humans!

Ally and Fatty and their wonderful humans. Hey - we've just noticed - is Ally always on the left and Fatty always on the right in their group photos....?!

JD - Fatty has been so busy! She's been mentioning places to visit that our humans weren't even aware of! They're so excited!

Max - We wish our humans could visit ALL our bloggie pals, but they tell us that unless their local airport starts doing bargain flights to all the local towns of our pals it's basically not going to happen.....sigh!

JD - We wanted to say thank you Fatty and Ally - we're very thankful we found your blog and we're very thankful that you're our friends - we think you and your humans are wonderful!

Max - If you haven't visited Fatty and Ally yet you're missing a real treat - please do pay them a visit and let them know that JD and Max think they're brilliant!

JD - Hey, we like this 'Thankful Thursday' malarkey - we think we might do it again soon!

Tummy Tickle Tuesday!

JD - The gorgeous Sasha posted a 'Tummy Tickle Tuesday' earlier today - and we were so taken with this idea that we thought we'd join in....

Max - So - here's a picture of me me asking - "Hey - I'm here! I've assumed the position! So come on - where's my tummy tickle?!"

Max - Ahhh, that's better - there it is!!


JD - Great idea for a post Sasha! We'd like to apologise for not leaving messages on everyone's blogs for a while. As you know we've been without Internet access but when we got it back female human was a bit unwell.

Max - Something called a migraine - she's had to be in a dark room as lights hurt her eyes, so obviously looking at a PC screen obviously wasn't the best idea.

JD - Hey, did you know - when humans throw up they don't try to eat it? Aren't they weird?!

Max - Anyway - now she's getting better we're going to visit all your blogs today as we've been simply dying to know what all our pals have been getting up to!!

JD - Bye everyone - we'll be dropping by soon!!
