It wasn't me... it was him!

It's now been almost 4 weeks since Trouble  Ollie, my baby brother came home and I have not been able to give him away. Apparently he costs more than a 60 cents stamp to post anyway.

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 putting up with him having him around.

I'm always the first up the stairs!
 

It's not me ruining the photos with a silly face

It wasn't me kicking mulch everywhere

I have someone looking out for Mum while I'm sniffing out wallaby poo

 

  Ollie! You shouldn't de stuff toys!!


If only Mum hadn't seen the first pic that Dad took... I have no idea how that fluff got on my paw..

Mum! Someone emptied the toy box!

 

There's someone else to take the attention away from MY ears

 

 

 

 

After bath time crazy zoomies are much more fun with someone else

 

 

 

It's actually not that bad having someone to cuddle up to when Mum and Dad aren't around.....

 

 

 

All in all, having a brother isn't that bad I guess. Especially if he keeps doing all the things I'm not supposed to do.

Brother for Sale.... Free Postage

Anyone interested in a brother? I have one for sale and will pay for the postage myself with this stamp.

Let me tell you about him.

His name is Oliver or Olly. He already knows his name and will come running when called

He will also come running when not called

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!)

He will make sure you are safe in the car by holding on to your collar even when the car is still

He loves going to work and gives new meaning to sleeping on the job

He gives good Shitzu massages by walking all over your back

 He likes unpacking toys and will also scatter them all over the house, changing the décor of your home

If you need to stay awake, you can count on Olly to help you. Too bad if you don't

 He will be your shadow and has no concept of personal space. Perfect for those who dislike privacy

He falls asleep watching TV so you can watch what you want

 

When you're having a self conscious day, he will make you look as huge as you feel

I have been an only child for 2 years so it has been a shock to suddenly gain a brother. I am also most appalled to learn that our birthdays are exactly 2 years and 2 days apart. I hope Mum knows better than to start thinking about "combined" parties!!! 

Actually, to be honest he can be heaps of fun and it's kinda nice being a big sister and having someone look up to me... I might keep him for a bit longer...

I'm so busy doing nothing, I can't do anything else!

Mum, Dad and I now work together. It is the best thing to happen to our family recently as it means we get to spend more time together.

Mum and Dad will say that they run the show but let me tell you who really does all the work!

I am Security dog, Sales dog, Admin dog and Public Relations dog all at the same time.

 

Going to the RTA

Me with my briefcase in the office

 

There are some perks to the job of course....

Love the wind in my hair
 

I get to meet all sorts of people who come to buy cars. Most of them are lovely. Some are funny.... like the man who didn't like me touching his suit with my paws. Excuse me, but the fashionista in me just wanted to feel the fabric. Another man drove more than 2 hours to buy a car, only to be told by his wife he wasn't allowed to. Hee hee... good to know I'm not the only one that gets told no!

I am exhausted after a day at work though.

But it is worth it because I get to spend all day with the two people I love most in the world.

Happy Birthday To Me

It's been awhile between blogs AGAIN. I have been very busy working in multiple roles in Sales, Marketing and Security but that will have to wait till my next blog post. Important things first.

Can you believe I'm now 2???!!!

It's my party!

Mum made me some delicious pupcakes

Nom nom nom

 Ok, I'll share...

Some of my best friends that came to my party



I felt so special having so many good friends celebrating my birthday with me.

Bailey (see him in the background) got me this cool pig

Look at the birthday card I got from the Swannies!

 My lovely Aunty Christine really spoilt me with some amazing presents.

For after bath time

 I also got some presents from Mum and Dad of course.

My cupcake collar



Giving Pixie her Treat Bag to take home. I was just making sure everything was in there...

And if all this wasn't enough, my good friend @jessiejaney gave me a fabulous present.... a portrait of me to be painted by an artist. Jessie won it but has generously given it to me for my birthday. I am very excited. Mum says it's lucky the clever artist lady can paint me from a photo. Something about not being able to sit still. No idea what she means.

Thank you everyone for my birthday wishes, it's the best birthday ever, even if I've only had 2....  xxx

Weird things Mum and Dad do

I don't know about you, but I've come to the conclusion that my Mum and Dad are quite strange. Let me share some of my observations with you....

• Dad bought coconut oil spray for cooking but my Mum sprayed some on her hair!

• 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.

• Mum and Dad just eat their treats and don't bother hiding them around the house.

• 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.

• 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...

• 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.

I wonder if I'll ever work them out... *sigh*
 

In spite of this odd behaviour, I love them to bits. They can't help being strange.

Next Top Model

I love fashion! 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.

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.

Love the cap sleeves

I love that I now have my own designer as well as personal stylist. To check on my availability for modelling work, please refer to my Management.


 

I'm baaaack!!!

It has been a long time between blogs. 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.

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.

Are we there yet....???
 

 There were other dogs on holidays with their families there too. We had so much fun exploring the farm together and sitting round the fire. Mum was quite pleased it wasn't me that tried to steal a block of cheese from the platter!

Quack Quack to you too....
