Our silly noodle of a labradoodle
Instead of neutering our dog Jack Black, we’ve decided to put him into stud to pay for his vet bills. After nearly a week of not eating, he had surgery last weekend to extract a pair of knickers and a sock from his nether-regions. Got his stitches removed today, and the grand total has come to $1259.40 {excuse me for a minute while I pick myself up off the floor}.
So if anybody wants to breed their labradoodle or spoodle with Jack, and make cute and lovable little itty bitty fluffy labradoodles or labraspoodles, feel free to contact me …. he’s in some pretty bad debt at the moment, and he’s willing to “give it a shot”, lol. He also loves a good snowball fight, and he’s got a non-shedding fleece coat. 
It’s Snowing!
This photo is of our backyard from June last year. Hopefully it snows through the night and is still on the ground in the morning so we can play in it.
Happy Birthday
Coming out of my blogging hiatus to say:
Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mama!!!
And Happy Birthday to my lovely Mother In Law who celebrated her birthday yesterday.
Autumn round these parts is beautiful
Autumn is such a colourful time of year, but living here in Dunedin I really notice it so much more. I guess because Dunedin is so old. Old homes, old establish trees and gardens. There’s not so much ‘new’ round here, as seen in the big smoke where population is fast outgrowing resources.The day started cold, although we were snug inside with our fireplace, two heatpumps, moisture master, underfloor insulation, and ceiling insulation, but felt the chill in the air as we headed on down to the Farmer’s Markets for our weekly fruit and vege. They day turned out brilliant and we spent a fair few hours strolling around The Gardens. Feeding the ducks, playing in the park, drinking lattes and fluffies, walking up the ‘mountain’ to the bird aviaries, and strolling back down again, while Aaron snapped a gazillion photos on his newly beloved [preloved] camera. Here’s a wee sampling ….
Hope everyone’s having a great weekend. I’m off to make cheese rolls for our kindy fundraiser tomorrow.
PS: Ohh yes, I can hear again. I developed “swimmer ears” last weekend and was having trouble hearing till I had my ears suctioned on Wednesday, coupled with pretty bad earaches (thank gawdness I had a large stash of panadol on hand at the time). Turn’s out Xavier needed his ear’s suctioned too and wow, what a difference! He’s talking so much better, it’s fantastic.
