A while

Its a while since we wrote in our blog .... but a lot has been happening. The weather has been silly - 40+C temps and hot nights, meaning that we have been forced to lol around pathetically most of the day - the photo here is of us 'lolling' .... We have been to the beach a lot but it has been very busy - apparently school holidays (whatever that means ) are still on. Our humans are looking forward to next week when schools 'go back' and the beach will be quieter - so are we. We had a bath after one beach visit last week - off to the vets and dragged whimpering into the doggy bathroom (we have discovered that the whimpering doesn't really have any effect but we still try, just to make the humans feel guilty.)
Last night there were lots of people in and out and a mess was left at the end of the evening ( a 'party' was a word we heard) .... we had to stay in the back part of the yard but we got yummy chewy bones, and then at the end we got to sleep in the humans room! Heaven!!!

On the ranch

Today we went up to the humans new property - we call it 'the ranch' - in a place called Gingin. We had a fabulous time, running all around the massive space, digging in the sand, exploring among the green stuff, checking out all the building goodies in the house and the shed, then resting and starting all over again.If you want to see some pictures of the ranch the male human has a website called www.dashk.com and he has written all about it there

Even worse!

Yes, it is still hot - apparently 43 degrees and the humans say that is "damned hot" .... but to make matters worse the power packed up today (apparently the antiquated WA system couldn't cope and it exploded in our area. We were stuck without cooling (which we do like - us softie Beagles) and without light for us or the humans for 14 hours ....... it's back now but what a performance!!

Hot

This week has been really hot, and we don't like it. We have been flopping around the house, it has been hot to walk on the pavement outside, and the pebbles have been hot too. What can be done?? If we stay in and play the humans get irritated (honestly folks we are only pretend fighting). Its even hot when we go out for walks - paddling has started to make sense!!

Beach games

We are getting to really like the beach now, and we have discovered the dunes. The humans sometimes get stressed out because we run up them and disappear behind the shrubs (Beagles are, as you know known to love exploring). But then when we hear the frantic whistling we pop up to say 'hi' .... and then charge down through the soft sand. Its such a cool game with the wind in our ears as we slide and slither back to the main beach, and we get lots of 'good girls'!! This is us popping up and then racing down.
