Where is the pitter patter of your little feet?
Sometimes I hear them,
Sometimes I see a little shadow,
Never far away.
Missing you Sooty xx
Sooty (left) and Zipper (right)
Sooty and Zipper love to run in the wide open spaces. This photo was taken in at an oval near our home. The small black streak on the left is Sooty. Both photos were taken early in 2006. At this time we didn't realise that Sooty had hip dysplasia.
Sooty has just turned 8 years old and is also male. He is very affectionate with a joyful, sweet disposition. Sooty loves food, sleeping, being cuddled, playing ball, rides in the car, swimming, kangaroo spotting and walkies. Sooty doesn't like visiting the vet, staying at kennels or being parted, for any length of time, from his family pack.

Zipper begging for a game
I will not push my dog away when he wants a hug after playing in a mud puddle.
I will drop what ever I am doing and take my dog out whenever he asks me to.
Sooty engaged in his favorite sport
I will not complain "My arm is tired" after only throwing the stick 20 times.
I will not drag my dog away from the interesting sniffing spots.
I will share everything I eat with my dog.
I will not hide my dog's ball in a place where I know he couldn't possibly retrieve it from and then ask him to go get it.
Sooty with Zipper's old yellow ball
I will not take soggy, yummy balls away from my dog.
Here's Mummy doing on-leash training with Sooty....or is Sooty training Mummy? I'm not sure, anyway...
....here's Sooty distracting Mummy as I head for the...
....closest mud puddle. Ah yes, the therapeutic benefits of a mud bath...
...see how the mud is drawing 'fluid' from my thighs... slimming don't you think?888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 88
8.30am It's a Dog's breakfast:
Mmm....chicken sausages, free-range egg, home-made gravy and bio-dynamic yogurt served with Swedish sour-dough bread! Swallowed whole of course!

10.00am Car ride to the Hall markets:
The Hall Market is a haven of scents...not to mention the many wonderful posts requiring our special doggy attention!
12.30pm Lunch at the Yarralumla Nursery:
Yaralumla Nursery has a great menu for dogs, they even let you eat under the table (and the wait staff are friendly too).
Sooty and I had Poochy Chicken Pasta for lunch.
2.00pm Afternoon swim at Lake Burley Griffin!
Ok Sooty, I admit it was a good catch.
Let's bring the stick back together this time
...Sooty demonstrating the dog paddle.
3.00pm Visit the pet shop at Belconnen:
Oooo, I love shopping! We got to pick a toy each.
4.00pm Time for a nanny nap!
We all take an afternoon siesta...before it's time to eat again! Yey!!
6.30pm Picnic dinner at the park:
Mmm....doggy anti-pasto platter of cold barbeque chicken, roast beef, goat cheese and rocket!
Mummy's in a playful mood this evening! Must have been the nanny nap? I reckon human's should nap more often, then they'd be happy all the time like us dogs!
8.00pm Movie and munchies:
From the moment Lassie saved the fox from the hunters, we were hooked!
I think our humans were better and more relaxed by the end of the day!
