<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I have to admit now that it's not so bad having him around.... there's always someone <strike>to take the blame </strike> else being naughty to distract Mum. He always looks like he's up to something, but he can't help it... that's just the face he was born with.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">Ollie is such a friendly pup. Whenever we go to the dog park, he loves to go say woof to every single dog there. Mum and Dad always say, "He is so friendly, unlike someone else we know." I have no idea what they mean by that. I don't know why he has to say woof to every single dog though.... I prefer to be more selective in making friends.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: magenta;">I'm glad now, that I didn't give Ollie away when he first came home. I've really grown to love him, and I've almost forgiven him for destroying the doughnut bed I've had since I was a baby. </span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">We returned from our Christmas holidays to the devastating news that Jane had passed away on Boxing Day. It's been almost a week, and to be honest we are still in shock.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">The only reason we knew Jane wasn't very well, is because she chose to share with her friends that she had MS. You would not have guessed she was not well because she was always so full of life, fun and love for everyone around her, never once complaining about anything.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">We got to know Jane and her beautiful cat, Jessie, in 2012 on Twitter. That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship filled with so much fun and laughter, as we shared our love for footy and cooking programs. I'm sure @Whatdoingdugal and @clingycat would agree, we could have provided entertaining commentary for MasterChef and My Kitchen Rules.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Jane and Jessie loved the Pies as much as Mum and I love the Swannies. Yes, those of you that know me well, will find it hard to believe that I became such good friends with a Pie supporter, but it was impossible not to love Jane.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">She cared so much about animals and people. She spent so much of her time just loving everyone, even when things were hard for herself. If someone was down or sad, you can be sure that Jane reached out to them. Whenever anyone new joined Twitter, it was Jane who introduced them to me and the rest of the Anipal community.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I am heartbroken that I never got the chance to meet Jane in person. In our last phone conversation, before I went away, we talked about meeting up when I was in Melbourne next, and it breaks my heart that this will never happen now.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I will always cherish our friendship and the memories, and I know if everyone tried to be even a tiny bit like Jane, the world would be a better place.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">I guess we will have to wait and find out which list we're on when we finish the treats from our Advent Calendar....</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Ollie and I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We may not get another chance as Mum and Dad are abandoning us again. Yes, those passports have resurfaced... but that's another blog post.</span><br />

Apparently he costs more than a 60 cents stamp to post anyway.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">It's becoming obvious that he is here to stay, so being the positive pup I am, I have decided that there are advantages to <strike>putting up with him</strike> having him around.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">He will also come running when not called</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">He enjoys testing out beds for comfort and will also share your clothes. By share I mean wear. (It's my Barry Hall top... I don't care if it no longer fits me!)</span><br />

Let me share some of my observations with you....</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">Dad bought coconut oil spray for cooking but my Mum sprayed some on her hair!</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9nCorsWLpieF-3oty2auCUTsp4CJ8faztR8EBhGyxiGmzkKWg5JTMQg05RQoAVkRZu1GL9_J1cE4fdX7NlHnCIbyWakEff0hFrwVdzNejecrcNz158Nus7c4cco3SzW-E7YAL-_ieg/s1600/imagesCARH1TRE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9nCorsWLpieF-3oty2auCUTsp4CJ8faztR8EBhGyxiGmzkKWg5JTMQg05RQoAVkRZu1GL9_J1cE4fdX7NlHnCIbyWakEff0hFrwVdzNejecrcNz158Nus7c4cco3SzW-E7YAL-_ieg/s1600/imagesCARH1TRE.jpg" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">Mum often puts leaves, twigs and dried flowers into a little mesh ball and pours hot water over it and then... drinks it! And I get in trouble for bringing leaves and twigs into the house.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">Mum and Dad just eat their treats and don't bother hiding them around the house.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">Dad doesn't like sharing his socks with me. I think it's selfish... I only want one and he has two that are the same.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">Mum will only cuddle me if she's not wearing a black top. If she is wearing a black top I have to wait till she gets changed. I have no idea why...</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: magenta;">More weird behaviour observed around clothes... Mum will sometimes roll a sticky roller over her clothes to collect my fur. What does she want with my fur?? If she told me what she wanted it for, I'd consider giving it to her.</span></li>

I will often take an outfit to Mum so she can help me put it on. I am lucky Mum loves clothes too and more importantly loves finding clothes for me. My little tops and jumpers keep me warm and looking cool at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">My next door neighbour is not only a beautiful friend, she is also a very clever seamstress. She recently redesigned some gorgeous upcycled outfits for me. Here are some snap shots from my portfolio.</span><br />

I have been very busy supervising Mum as she started a new job, we took Gemma's Little Gems to the markets, and to top it all off, my laptop blew up. Thankfully, I now have a new laptop and I'm back online.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Mum and Dad have kept their word so far about throwing their passports away. We even went on a family holiday to the country! We stayed at a lovely place called Barrington Riverside Cottages.</span><br />

Mum came back and missed me so much she said that she was going to throw her passport away because she was never leaving me again. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Well. Clearly the passport was just hidden and not THROWN AWAY because I was abandoned AGAIN! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I spent the week with my Grandma and had 2 sleepovers with my pal Bailey. I had heaps of fun and was spoilt rotten (as I should be) but that is not the point. Mum and Dad still left me AGAIN.</span><br />

From organising the only truck on the island to pick them up, the welcome flower and coconut drink on arrival, to all the thoughtful little gestures, Mum and Dad felt like they were at a 5 star resort.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">When they weren't pining away for me, Mum and Dad spent their time snorkelling, swimming and fishing. They went for walks in the jungle and learnt heaps about the plants and trees and all their uses. The family also took them to visit the village. They were invited to a John Frum event where members of the John Frum Movement sing and play music from 7pm every Friday until 6am Saturday. Dad tried spear fishing too.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">Thank you to everyone who supported our Pink Ribbon Tea Party. It was so much fun and the theme of the day was my favourite colour PINK! Dad said he was glad that he was at work.... don't know why a house full of girls, pink flowers, pink candles and pink cakes wasn't his cup of tea...</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">We were able to raise some money for breast cancer research and Gemma's Little Gems also donated 15% of all sales too.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">It's not too late to donate to a great cause...</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">This Christmas was especially exciting as I was part of a Secret Santa group with other anipals from Oz and New Zealand. Each of us got given a pal we had to send a gift to and we promised not to reveal who it was. A big thank you to Jessie who had the big job of organising us all.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">My Secret Santa was so kind and generous! I arrived home one day to find this huge, beautifully wrapped box on the doorstep.</span><br />

She has told me repeatedly all weekend that I'm testing her patience. Well, I don't remember even giving her the test, but I'm pretty sure she failed.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Mum and Dad woke up one morning to see lots of white fluff around them. No Australia is not about to experience a white Christmas. Somebody had ripped a hole in the doona and pulled the fluff out! Without even a quick investigation, it was decided that I was the culprit. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Later in the day, somebody went into the study and took a Christmas card. Ok, I admit I took it, but I don't know who ripped it up...</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">So much for growing into my ears!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Mum and Dad can't believe how time has flown by and how grown up I am now. Although, I did hear whispered comments I didn't understand "Wonder when she will stop chewing things...?" "Remember when she was so quiet and didn't bark at all?" "What about how she used to never leave our side?</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I have no idea who they were talking about but I did get in trouble this morning. I jumped into the bath tub while Mum wasn't looking, grabbed the plug and resized it.</span><br />

I enjoy redesigning Mum's shoes and finding ways to reach interesting items that have been carefully placed out of my reach.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Mum, however, doesn't always appreciate my talents and will often try to stifle my creativity. One day, after she caught me running past the bathroom with one of her shoes in my mouth, she told me it was the last straw. I don't know what the big deal was, I had shortened one of the bows on the shoe for her, while she was in the shower and was merely putting it back. Apparently the first straw appeared last week when I helped myself to a whole block of cheese left on the table. No one wanted it anyway! And if all these straws were appearing, I'm sure my piggy brother Mima would appreciate them.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Getting back to the shoe, after mum discovered what I did, she shouted at me and my redesigning efforts were rewarded with a smacked bottom.Well I showed her! When Dad got home from work, I was all over him.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Before Mum could tell him what happened that day, I snuggled up to Dad, being as cute as possible and ignored Mum all night. Dad was distracted by the attention, Mum was bothered by the lack of attention, and nobody mentioned any straws!</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">One good thing about Mum and Dad not being able to go to Melbourne for the Grand Final means we will be able to watch it together. For reasons I cannot imagine, even though I have my very own Pet Membership, I'm not allowed to go to any games. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I'm not a sticky beak, I just like going over to say hello. Most of the time Mum just leaves me to it, but one morning she flew into a panic and ran after me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Apparently before 6am is not a good time for visiting. Mum chased me, calling out my name. She was shouting in whispers if you know what I mean. I was only trying to be polite, but Mum was really embarrassing me, coming out in her pink jammies. This was up there with her "Wallaby Poo Dance".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Those of you who have seen my zooming videos will know how fast I am. I'm also good at dodging Mum. I ran up to their front door and tapped. The neighbours mustn't have heard me so I ran under their bedroom window and woofed a couple of times. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">By now, Mum was really cranky. She had stepped on a gumnut and a twig with her bare feet in her haste to stop me. I don't know how this is my fault.... she should have worn shoes! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I was scooped up into Mum's arms and taken home before I could wake the neighbours up. Mum rang them later to apologise but they said they didn't even hear me. They did however hear MUM call out my name! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Mum says I'm lucky that they like me and we're very lucky to have such wonderful neighbours. We really couldn't have asked for better neighbours. They have been so kind and caring ever since we moved in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">One of my neighbours is very artistic and clever. He makes amazing sculptures out of recycled materials.</span><br />

I have been busy hanging out with my family who are visiting from a faraway place called England. It's so much fun having them stay. I have a baby to play with and am enjoying more pats and fussing.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I'm such a lucky puppy. Not only do I have a Mum and Dad and family who love me, I have very special pals too. It's obviously not just about all the lovely presents they sent me for my birthday but the friendship and support that I value. I just wanted to thank them all and show you the presents I got.</span><br />

Late in the evening, just as I was coming in from the garden, I started to cough and choke. I eventually threw up but still had trouble breathing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia;">Mum and Dad rushed me to the emergency hospital. They were convinced I had swallowed something and was choking. After giving me an X-ray, the specialist came out saying that there was nothing stuck in me. Mum and Dad were relieved for two seconds until the specialist pulled up a chair and sat down. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia;">This was not a good sign. She went on to say that I had an enlarged esophagus which meant I was in danger of getting fluid in my lungs and pneumonia. The main causes were ticks or sometimes this conditions just develops.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia;">Mum's eyes started leaking heaps as the specialist said that I had to stay there on a drip. I was so scared as I was taken to a cage in the back room. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia;">I ended up staying at the hospital in the ICU for two nights!! Mum took a day off work to stay with me and they visited me as often as they could.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="color: magenta;">I had a follow up scan a week later which showed a normal esophagus. The Vet I saw said that I was a mystery! He hadn't seen this condition fix itself so quickly before. They were originally going to do a scope but said it was best to let sleeping dogs lie.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I'm now back to my usual bouncy self. The only difference is that Mum is watching me very closely for any signs of choking and I have been getting smaller portions of food! The up side of smaller portions is I get food more frequently so I guess I'll cope.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks again</span> to all my special friends who cared about me when I was ill.

It's my birthday today and I had a party yesterday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">My grandparents, neighbours, Alicia my lovely walker and my best pal Bailey all came over to help me celebrate my 1st birthday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">My mum who never bakes, got up at 6 in the morning to make me a chicken & vegetable pupcake with yoghurt frosting and liver sprinkles. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">It was such an exciting day. Bailey and I had heaps of fun together. He is such a good friend, he didn't even mind when I ate his share of the cake as well. </span><br />
