Day 18

The pups had a lot of fun today playing! Soaks and Mitch had lots of fun catching toys and treats. Mitch is a little 'special' when it comes to catching treats, but he got there in the end!

In the afternoon, we went walking around the suburbs with the dogs and had an early night.

"Alright... I'm ready..."

"Ahhh!! I missed!"

"REALLY missed!"

"Okay... Try again!"

"There it is... It's coming.."

"Mouth open... Almost there!"

"GOT IT!"

"Nummy" :)


Soaks and Mitchy waiting for a toy to be thrown...

Here it comes...!

Soaks gets it!!! I don't think Mitch realised his mouth was already full...

Meanwhile, Jedi decided to show of his gangsta side...

Day 17

Wow, another pretty quiet day.

Nik got some really sweet pics of the puppies playing with a bell.

"Hi Mum"

"You will give me the treats"

Bell hat

"No treats in here"

"I aint wearing that"

"Okay then"

Bones

Num num num

"Go away, it's mine"

Mitch happy with a bone

Back to eating

Day 16: Cuddles

What a quiet day the puppers had. After the Christmas rush, everyone was all sleepy. Soaks and Mitch had a couple of very cute cuddles on the floor.

Mitch has also finally got the hang of eating real dog food (Meat and Bones). He has also started to eat a lot faster. He learnt really fast that if he doesn't eat straight away, Soaks will steal his food.

Day 15 - Merry Giftmas

The puppers woke up early for a very Merry Giftmas.

First up the puppers were forced to have breakfast and stare longingly at their stocking. But eventually the humans relented and let the puppies at them.

Jedi got to go first. He was pretty keen on his stocking but was disappointed to discover it was full of food he wasn't allowed to eat. What a crock! He did get a neat food dispenser toy thing, but hasn't tried it out yet.

Mitch went next and had some trouble working out how to un-stocking his toys. He eventually got there with a little help and commenced playing with Ahsoka (and his new toy) immediately.

It took Ahsoka a little time to calm down from all the excitement of Jedi and Mitch opening their presents. Once she calmed down she found a toy bonanza in her stocking and went mad trying to play with everything at once.

With all the packing done, it was time jump in the car and travel down to Wollongong to go to the beach. Unfortunately it was pouring rain so no one made it to the beach. The puppies had a nice play in a very wet backyard then got bundled back to Sydney.

Back in Sydney it was still raining, but not as hard and at least it was cool, so the puppies got to go for a nice long, damp walk.

After all the excitement the puppies crashed out after a very profitable, gift filled giftmas.

Three happy puppies

Jedi was worried he got a lump of Coal

No Coal, but not that great either. Poor Jed :(

Next Mitch got his present

"Who says I have to unwrap it first"

"Okay, let me try and get it out"

"It's stuck in there pretty tight"

"Got it"

Soaks and Mitch get straight to product testing

So much loot

Merry Giftmas!

Day 14: Giftmas Eve

Today was Giftmas Eve, which meant we trooped off to celebrate with Nik's parents.

That meant the poor puppies had to entertain themselves for most of the day. (Though spending the day inside was a good thing cause it was a bazzilion degrees).

Before we left we got some pics of the puppers and made sure they were all played out (which didn't take that long in the heat).

The puppers got to bed pretty early cause there were all excited about Santa visiting.
