Back again!

You remember a while back I mentioned we were having trouble with our computer again? Well, it's taking hours to load up - so when we're not on constant power, it flattens its battery before it starts up! And sometimes (like this morning) when it finally starts up it shuts down again a second later! We've been too busy to do anything with it, but our friends gave us a desktop computer (which only runs on power and doesn't have a slot for SD cards, so no photos and still sporadic updates here!).


So anyway. we went down to Beenleigh, met some new friends, sold a few puppies, and went to the coolest dog park ever! It had dog agility equipment - not professional stuff, but better than our gear. We had a few practice runs and then a competition - and for the first time in ages Sparkie got a faster time than Tess!


All the pups have gone to their new homes except one, and we finally decided to keep Kay! She's currently called Asta. The puppies are kinda scattered around Queensland - Fly is in Beenleigh, Junior (now called Cadbury) is in Tewantin, Mayfair and Freda (called Shadow) are in Gympie, Roy is in Chinchilla, Charlie (Ollie) and Mikey (Pippa) are in Roma, and Dixie is going to Cairns.


We're back in Wallumbilla for a week to build some new stuff in the bus - clothes drawers and dog cages!


We're just getting over another round of colds - nothing too bad, just annoying. :)

Second Thoughts

We’ve now sold four puppies – Charlie’s going to a friend in Roma, Mayfair and Freda are going to a family in Gympie, and Dixie’s heading up north to Cairns. And we think we’re keeping Kay (Shazzy), not Fly (Kelly). At this stage we’re leaning towards Kay, but it’s still more or less undecided!

To be honest, I’m getting really bored out here. We’ve been sitting at Wallumbilla since the Gympie Show, with regular trips into Roma for shopping. We needed the constant power to run the heater for the puppies, but they’re nearly five weeks old now so we’re planning on heading to Brisbane. Kinda exciting to be heading to a big city after being out in the country so long! I’m hoping we’ll be able to check out the dog parks that apparently have agility equipment, maybe some big pet shops and stuff. Looks reasonably dog friendly down there.
