Oh cheers thanks, Well I've had Zach at the vets this week to get some inflammatorys as his allergy's have been bothering him (pollen's) and he's had itchy watery eyes, I just love going to the vets especially when they try and tell me things that simply aren't true, my vet is so damn hard to get an appointment with when ever I need to see her shes has surgery that day and well I'm not waiting another day for what I need so I settle for this other that is just ok Zach likes him well Zach likes anyone when ever my 2 come in they all come out for cuddles lol which is a good thing I'd made a point from as soon as I could to make a visit a fun one and I've been very fortunate that all experiences have been a good one, helps that I have always randomly popped in for a weigh, anywhoo I'm sidetracking lol
So he's trying to tell me Zach has Entropion.......umm Zach is puffy and watery because he has allergy any other time hes perfectly fine, this is the same vet that told me when Bella was 6 months that she had it and as I didn't know any better then and got all stressed out and had an appointment at the specialist and I became skeptical back than and waited and she was fine also, Bella suffers allergys to pollen and grass when its freshly mowed, so I was bloody annoyed got what I went for and left.......he's fine now all back to normal! Hows your 2?
As for that picture lol its an app called (Photo Lab)

Hey mate well no that sidetrack lol was usefull gives me something to think about when my dogs start getting itchy n sneezy this spring ( not to far away) we moved into another house 4 months ago and there is a lot of different types of plants and trees etc in this area than where we recently lived . So be interesting to see how they or if they react this spring . At previous house halo would sneeze a lot and bit itchy and reverse sneeze sometimes !! Scary to watch when I first seen it . So vets are like doctors hard to find a good 1 and when you do it's hard to get in lol . So seasons are different up in qld where u r? You have lots of plants flowering already ? Oo so now your getting fancy on your pics lol photo lab ? Is that an app? For I phone ? Funny your dogs sit like my halo on there bums in a human way and hope zachs feeling better . Cheers mate

Yeah this vet I have shes great I really like her as do the pups and yeah just like a doctors hard to get in to see a good one lol stupid thing is its not like you can predict when you need to go which is so damn frustrating when you call knowing ya chances are slim! As for seasons I'm still getting used to them myself, I'm originally from Melbourne moved to the states for 2 years stopped in NZ for a 2 week holiday 9 years later returned hubby in toe but settled in QLD for a warmer climate LOL so climates to me are all over the place I can say that I suffer with allergy's NZ would have been the worst, but I find here isn't much better I pretty much live on Telfast myself so the pups are taking after me lol although its on and off for them aswell, theres a huge reserve close by where we walk and when its time for that to be mowed which takes like 10 ride on mower/tractors we stay clear for a few days or its sneeze city and crying eyes lol we bought a place 11 months ago its up quite high and we get quite the sea breeze and all others alike so I think with the tree'd area we live in the pollen's play havoc from time to time depending on how breezy it gets and how many ppl are out mowing their own in the area Ugh! No problems at the moment though its been really tropical up here over the last few days its bucketing down.
And yup its an iphone app lol its quite cool lol

Hey, yup they are looking good although Zach copped an ulcer in his eye so were dealing with that at the moment, he has another check up tomorrow so hopefully the AB drops are doing there job at the time the vet said its a decent size so fingers crossed its all good and on the mend UGH, while I was there I put him on the scales as ya do he's topping 54 kg lol thought the bugga was getting heavier hes a shite to try move over on the bed these days lol
Ink? NOOO damn it my tattooist has glandular fever was having an off week so I opted not to head down to the island until after Christmas now, I'd prefer him to be on top of his game my design is basically a half sleeve so felt it was too risky for something that's that permanent lol, wish he was closer but I'm sticking with who I know he did both my boys full sleeves and both my daughter-in-laws bits here and there he really is a brilliant artist :), I was disappointed but had more time to spend with the kids so panned out for the best I reckon and cChristmasisn't that far away I'll prob head down early march before the freeze down there sets in hahaha....hows your lot going down there? did you cop much of that storm last week?

Hey 2 bad poor zach again hopefully no long term effect from it . 54kilo !! Wow . Lol I know what u mean by not getting the blanket back haha . The trick as you prob know is try best them into the bed get blanket properly sorted before they jump up cause they are so bloody stubborn and lazy to move lol . Chilli I'd 40 kilo now and halo 49 kilo . When both in bed it's impossible to re adjust the blanket lol . Yes stick with who u know with ink and I like your theory make sure he's completely healthy n focused before inking you lol . Next time you go get it done give him a multivitamin first with a glass of juice lol . Yeah got tail end of the storm heard it was pretty bad 10 min up the Rd etc . I agree don't go Melb when it's cold GRR last 2 times I went was cold windy months it was terrible !!!!!! My 2 are going great just got keep eye on chilli still when she starts her crap but bn better !! 2 fights in last month and I was on it fast each time . Glad all is good n hope zach gets better soon .

Booboos.jpgDSC00359.jpgDSC00360.jpgZach and Bella had their very first DIY bath at our new local Pet barn it was there opening today so baths were free it was awesome they both loved it, Zach couldn't wait for his turn he wanted in :) this will save my back and washing the shower big time, even better washed them both on the one token which means next wash is also free YAY lol how boodalichious do they look? and let me tell you they smell beautiful.....I was so impressed with how they behaved even with all the whoohaaaa (jumping castle, animal pens and loads of kids) Bella wasn't that keen for the noise but reassurance and sweet talking she was fine, as for Zach well hes a social butterfly loves the attention which they get plenty of there isn't many Bull mastiffs around here so they always attract loads of pats! :p

Were all good up here, missed most of that shitty weather although Wayne's work copped it smashed out most windows and part of the roof came down ugh but not enough damage to stop work for the day lol much to his disgust hahaha....I'm just looking forward to my holidays for Christmas, we've got all the kids coming up and my new gandbubba he'll be 6 months will be interesting how the pups get on with him I cant wait the pups love their human brothers its gonna be a great holiday for sure they will get extra spoilt if that's even possible lol actually its prob the only time of year Wayne and I get to ourselves the pups are always with the kids lol its great lol Hope alls good with you guys!
