Sue won a dog food competition.

She had to write a caption for a photograph. Well, the parcel of goodies arrived last week so today I got the job of modeling some of the stuff in the box. Don't I look cute!

Thanks Jimbo's. You guys make awesome yummy dog food, especially green tripe, and those sausages aren't bad either. We don't get green tripe often cause someone is a little squeamish.

Get off!

On Sunday Sue spent a lot of time washing all the sheets and blankets getting them all clean and un-doggy.

It was really early when I woke up this morning. I needed to go to the toilet so I barked to let Sue know. Holly wanted to come out too so we both got to go outside.

Sue left the door open so we could come back in and go back to our beds but instead of being good we decided to go snuggle.

Well, I had to block my ears! The language was not pleasant and that was just Aunty Aura who was not impressed at being jumped on.

She who controls the washing machine was NOT IMPRESSED with Holly and me and our dirty feet.

Me and my heifer mates

Here's me with my heifer mates. They don;t have names, just tag numbers.

They like to hang around and stare at us. Strange beings. They moo and poo and run around like lunatics.

I tried to scare them like my mum and Aura do. They sit beside the fence ignoring them. Then as the herd forms, they turn around and leap at the fence. Then the heifers run like mad around the paddock,gathering up more reinforcements and head back to the fence.

Sue says that is a really bad thing to do and when I tried it she told me off. She said that heifers are worth more money than me and if one slips and breaks its leg she can't afford to pay for it.

Stupid heifers.

Am I cute or what!

Here I am looking even cuter than ever. I've stopped growing now, and Sue says that is a good thing. Now I just have to fill out a bit. That's a good thing as it means that I get feed a little more.

Not enough to make me fat and lazy, just enough to bulk out my tummy and shoulders. It must be about time I got out to some more shows.

Holly's right. It is cold!

But there is always a warm blankie to cuddle up under.And Aunty Aura is always willing to share.

And never ever listen to your horrible sister. You never ever put your nose on the glass door of the fire. Horrible Holly! Lucky Sue stopped me before I burnt myself.

What a weekend!

I knew something must have been up when I was made to have a bath on Friday. I was scrubbed within an inch of my life. I smelt horrible afterwards.

Then Sue packed up all this stuff into the ute, we all had tea and then went to bed really early.

On Saturday I was turfed out of my blankies (Sue's bed) at 4.30am! Far too early for a young girl like me. I didn’t even get breakfast before Diesel and I were rudely shoved into the ute. We drove off into the dark stormy morning. After a while we stopped and picked up a new passenger, a strange hairy dog. Her name was Ruby. Then off we went again for ages and ages.

We got to a place called Ngarawhiaia and it turned out we were at a dog show! I got best of breed again but no in group placing this time. Not to worry, I am only three days into puppy.

The best thing at the show was this family from Auckland who came to see me. Apparently I am edible. That was pretty scary until I found out that is a good thing and means I am super cute. I had lots of photos taken and a play. I like kids. Much more fun that Sue.

When I got back to the ute both Diesel and Ruby where gone. They went to their own homes. So I was allowed to travel in the front. I must be special. (That’s very different from spethial Holly).

We stopped on the way home at this place and guess who was there! My brother Major! But he’s not my little bro any more. He’s about 1 cm taller. We played and played and got all tired out. There were more kids there that played with me too. Sorry about slamming you into the deck Major. I slipped on the wet grass. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! And Major, you’re certainly not boring any longer. You were heaps of fun.

I was so tired after paying with Major that I fell asleep even before we were out of town. Sue said I was as bad as her nieces. When we finally got home hours later we had tea and then went straight to bed. It was a long day.

TRANSIT NZ. YOU NEED TO FIX THE ROADS! They are terrible. The Awakino George is a disaster zone with all those stupid pot holes left half fixed and lets not mention the subway project at Tariki. Shocking. Why can’t you finish one piece before moving on to the next piece?

I'm in love!

Holly had a friend come to stay and I'm in love! He is so sexy and big and handsome! I've quite a school girl crush on him. I hassled and hassled him.

Then I had to have a sit and a rest while I watch the most handsome boy in the world run around.

I'm so special!

I won I won!

I won Baby Puppy Of Group today at a champion show! I got a HUGE sash and a plastic cup thing and some chocolate (Sue ate that).

Tomorrow I'll take some photos of me and my ribbon.

I went to my first show!

I had heaps of fun. Hannah and me got third in her junior handler heat.
Her she is making sure I don't grow any while I'm in the ring.

Here is me standing and looking pretty cool.

And here I am making a new friend. Pip owns Cloud, which is one of Aunty Aura's babies.

And I didn't get called Muriel once all day!

How my leg got broke and other true tails.

This is the chair where it happened. Me and Holly where playing on the chair and I was up on this arm here.

As I stood up on the edge, Holly pushed me with her head. I fell about 80 cms to the floor. I landed on my right back leg and collapsed into a ball of screaming agony. Sue rushed me to the vets and the nice vet nurse took lots of special pictures of my leg and the vet looked at them and said that it was a green stick fracture. That means that its not broken all the way through.
It's all healed now and I get to play with the other dogs. Aunty Aura is such a pushover!

Therapy

As Therapy Mouse said I should do some colouring in. I drew this picture of Holly. Quite a likeness isn't there.

Aaarrrrggghhh!

Get away from me, help, help, my leg, it hurts so much. Sue!!!

Holly pushed me off the chair. As I landed there was a horrible crack and the pain was sooo bad. I screamed! Sue picked me up and rushed me to the vets.

I had to have lots of xrays. My back leg is broken. I have to be locked in a cage for two weeks. The vet said it didn't need a cast or splint but I aren't allowed to run around at all.

I don't even want to move it hurts so much. I have huddled up with my mate Ducky. Sue is upset because I can't go to the dog shows she had booked me in for. She was hoping some ababy puppies of group.

A girl has to have some bling.

Little Faith got told she needs to wear some bands in her hair to keep it out of her eyes. Her mum refuses to put bands in her hair. So I had a go with some bits that my human nieces left behind (Sue must remember to give them back). Here I am trying out the punk look. Do I look cool? And here is me and Aunty Aura sharing a chair. She doesn't look too happy having to share.

Woof! Woof! Grrrrrrr!

I have my own blog Woof Woof Woof! Now I can tell you the truth about what happens here. Not my big sister Holly's version of the "truth". But the real truth!

My names Banderbear Of Sleek, or it will be once the kennel club get around to accepting me. You can call me Banderbear, or Bear. Not bandybear. NO! My name comes from the Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart. Banderbears are big strong bear like creatures who live solitery lives. My brother Iorek Bryinson is a bear too. His name comes from "His dark materials" by Philip Pullman. I hope we live up to our names, expect in the size bit. We have to stay small.

I am the first Interbred Miniature Bull Terrier to be born and shown in New Zealand. I am very special. Not spethial like my big sister Holly. But SPECIAL. It's very different.
