Happy Australia Day everyone!!!

It's Australia Day!!  It started out good for me.  It rained last night big time. We needed it badly. We haven't had any rain at our house since Yam Aunty went home.  It was real pretty at the beach today. I had fun and Mum took lots of photos and guess what???????  No thumb .... not once!!!  It's a miracle!!  We are going down to the river today to watch the celebrations. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to the thong throwing competition.  I hope they let me retrieve the thongs for everyone.
Have a good day everyone and throw some lamb on the barbie. That's a must on Australia day.

There's LOTS of photos ..... sorry ... but she was so proud of herself because of the no thumb thing!!!!!!
That's Dad and me. We had the whole beach to ourselves.


No mates to run with so I had to play ball with Dad.
We had fun!!
Crikey ..... hard to hang onto sometimes.
pretty, aye??
Well .... it's thirsty work. Dad's new knees lookin' good, aye??  It's his right one. Nice shoes, Dad!!
I LOVE my Dad!!
Crikey .... someones coming!!
Wonder who it is?
think I'll check 'em out.
Just jokin'?  It wasn't anyone!!
Just one more throw, aye, Dad??
Have we really gotta go??

Wanna run ..... love, Charlie.

    Happy Australia Day! If we knew ahead of time maybe we could have taken a bus there to celebrate with you! Which bus stop is by your house?

    Keep Calm & Bark On!

      Crikey ... We don't have a bus stop. You just stick your paw out and the driver stops.

    Yappy Australia Day!

    And I'm assumin by thong throwin ya ain't talkin bout da undies. Finley are a big fan of my momma's and not just retrievin em, chewin em up too. So momma has got to be real careful wif dirty laundry, udderwise her thongs turn into crotchless panties.

      Hahahahahaha!! Definitely not undies. Don't worry Finley ... You're not the only one. Saint Murphy isn't so Saintly around his Mums undies either. All of her undies end up crotchless.

    Aussie Day why Charlie I'll be sing "Waltzing Matilda" for your day.

    Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
    Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
    And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:
    "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"
    They have undie throwing competition, well do they wash them first?
    My Lee had a partial knee replacement on October 20th and it was her left knee. Now your Dad and her make a set.
    Thanks for being a friend

      Sweet William ..... NOT THAT KIND OF THONG!!!!!!! Not undies, mate ...... thongs!!! Peeps put 'em on their feet so the footpath doesn't burn the soles of their feet right off. It gets hot here.
      We sang Waltzing Matilda all day too. It's hard to stop once you start, aye??
      Crikey How's Lee? Is she still complaining about the pain? Dad sure is??

    Hey Charlie!
    Wow, I was wondering if you'd like to be in the Valentine's Day parade? If so, you could send a pix of yourself to my crabby girls using email lfurman1987AtyahooDOTcoM and they'll set you up with a fun parade entry if you'd like. :)
