Hi yah Bear. Ya know whenz the water comes down from the sky? Well I finks a sprinkler is whenz the water come up from the ground. Can ya work dat one out?

Lub ya
Lub Sasha. #613

Yip a dippy dee fings are back to normal for me. I have me Mum back all to meself. Oh I lub me Mum. That old girlie went orf to her new forever home yesday. Mum fought she was a sweetie, I fought she was a taker of me Mums cuddles. Cuddles dat should have come to ME. I guess she was alright for an old girlie even if she didn’t want to play anymore.
Wellz me first Christmas in me own home. Gosh golly gee I got lots of presses just for me, which is how it should be. I quite liked hanging around the kitchen when Mum was cooking up all these mouth watering smells and den even better when I sat next to me Granddad he would give me bits unda da table. Oh I ate so much of a chrissy feed, but not as much as guzzle guts Frilly knickers, she ate so much she was a bit KO unda the table for the afternoon. Mum called her a piglet, or should dat be doglet, hehe.

Now dis winkler you want da know about Bear me old mate. Wellz it is connected to the green snake fing and Mum pops hers in the garden and the water goes up and den down just like what Sasha told ya. She’s so clever ya know. Iz like da winkler, it don’t bother me. I was walking around in Mum’s freshly planted up vege garden when she had her winkler going. Me Mum puts lots of yummy treats in da dirt dat I just have ta sniff out and eat. Iz got all muddy and wet but I’m a manly GS if ya know what me mean Bear. Youz will understand cause youz a blokie bloke too.

Iz done a bit of a progression since I late posted here. Me Mum has been taking me and Misty frilly knickers to lots of different places for out walkies, or rather dat sound be hoof along the way Mum motors. But frilly knickers lubs dat water so is in and out of it, I recon she can’t make up her mind – typical female – anywho Iz now will walk up to me belly so it can get a tickle. It is ever so refreshing and I lub walking up to Mum dripping wet for me pat and congratulations, den I do it, I do da big shake and share me water wif me Mum cause I lub her so much.

Yep fings are back to normal, orf to chase da cats now I can get out the front yard again. Oh oh youz all should see da giant watering bowl me Mum has put in. She is co clever, only trouble is dem darn humans jump in me watering bowl and splash around in it. It is just at the right height for me to pop over and have a drink. Mum is out there connecting up this fing to keep the water clean she tells me. Orf to supervise, gotta make sure she dun it right
Howz all da gang, hope ya all had a great Chrissy too
Hay Bear, Iz got da tom sauce, youz were bringing da mustard
Lub ya

Whatever you do with the sprinkle Bear, do not do what
Manny did. He was so impressed with it he took it inside to show his mum, only problem is, it was still going. His mum didn't really want to wash her walls that day. So remember, sprinklers stay outside okay.

Gidday all you fulla’s and fullesis. Wot a fun day Iz had, it started as per usual with walkies. Taday Mum took us back to the flowing water place and was picking up sticks and trying to make me go in dat wet stuff to fetch the stick. Iz fought if you want the stick so much Mum why don’t ya get it yaself. Mum got sick of dat game cause she stopped thowing dem darn sticks and started to have a competiotion wif me human bro at a fing called skimming. Dat is when dey pick up da flat rocks and biff em so dey bounce along da wata. Iz like dat game cause had to find out where dem flat rocks went. Youz would have been proud of me Aunty D, I bounded out like a fearless warrior into da flowing wet stuff and tried to find da rocks. I went out really deep and had move me legs in da wata cause I couldn’t touch da bottom anymore. Iz had to work real hard Aunty cause da wata was going pretty fast where I was. Me Mum was so proud of me and gave me lots of lubs and pats when I got back to her. Iz like dat stone game, and Iz quite like da wata but youz not to let me Mum know ok. Iz oh and frilly knickers got our new pool filled up taday and I was walking in and out of it. Me human bro went and darn sat in it and I wasn’t too sure of dis so had to investigate. Misty moo was in and out den in and flop down. She came out all dripping wet and had a huge grin on her face and made a bee line for Mum. Oh no you don’t I know what your up to Misty moo and Mum ran away. Funny dat hu! Mum said we weren’t allowed to drink out of the really big waterbowl now as she went and got Doreen and put dat in it. Who is Doreen anyone know. Anyhow now all da wata is going around in a circle and Iz not allowed in deer anymore. But dats ok cause I got me own pool and watering hole. Iz not so hot when I cool off in me pool. I lub me Mum shes so great. I fought I would let her know how much I lubed her lastnight and I jumped up in bed as she was getting in. So I got in too and put me head on Dad’s pillow and was all comphy for da night. Well dat didn’t last long, Mum had as giggle and asked what I fought I was doing and told me I was a silly sod and with all dat insulting I went to me own bed bar humbug.
Best be orf and supervise the kitchen as some good smells coming from deer.
How all youz lot spent da day?

You two boys are so entertaining. Zar when I think back to how you looked when I first met you and how handsome you are now it brings tears of joy to my eyes.

and Mr Bear, the cute big foot puppy just looking for someone to love him and now you have everyoned who meets you fall in love with you.

You boys certainly have found the right spot to live your lives so happily.

Hip Hip hooray it’s New Years Day. All my bud’s out deer I hope youz all have a blast dis year. Keep your Mum and Dad in line and all dat ha!! Show dem all how clever us GSD can be. Me wellz Iz so very clever cause I went back to flowing wata place yesday and was running all around da place. I lub going to da wata. Me Mum got some snaps of me and Frilly knickers in da wata, but cause she is a bit tectonically challenged she can’t work out yet how to post dem so youz all can see me. But hopefully me secretary Aunty D will be so very kind and do dem, cause she’s real clever like, lub ya Aunty – grease grease.
Iz orf to play in me pool, Bear youz can come and play in me pool anytime youz like. It got no Doreen in deer. The winkler works beta when it’s on Mums garden and deer is yummy sheep poos and stuff to sniff out n eat. I don’t mind da winkler then, but I don’t like da winkler when it is on da lawn and da small humans are running frough it. Dem humans strange at times.

Pool time
Chow, time to splish splash
Zar #700

Oh Aunty D – fanks for finding me my forever home. I’m having the time of me life

You are very welcome Zar, lots of people helped get you down to your mum. Barbara from Hikurangi drove you to Warkworth, Saffy's mum gave you a safe spot to land and made us lunch, then a trip down to Hamilton by my husband and an overnighter with Grace & Shep and then to Taupo and on to you.
After all that effort my boy you better be happy. I have loaded the photos so everyone can see how brave you got by entering that wet stuff.

Don't flip mum when she's takin you out for a walk (hey it could happen to any one of us right? ). There was this terrier on the ovver side of the road I was quite interested in then this pot lickker come yappin at me on me left - where was da Bear to look first . I's got so excited mum ended up splat on the footpath (bit hard to drag her when she's like that ). She picked herself up & the lady wiff the terrier was doubled over - mum not happy she got 2 bruised knees now
Hey zar you looks like me mischievous twin bro
Does sheep licorice taste like horsey licorice (coz that's yummo )?
I gots to help wash mums car today (how was I to know I wasn't meant to jump in there wen I waz all wet )
Mum the meany got me wiff the squirty water - didn't like that 'till I figured it was nice & cool an I could eat it (buurp).

Anyways happy new year to all my fur cousins
I's orf to have a pre walkies snooze (OGB said sommat about picking up the pace so I don't flip him )

Oh gosh golly gee fank's Aunty D, youz so clever. I reckon you and me could get up to lots of mischif together ay Bear. Iz glad to hear youz keep ye Mum on yet toes, or should dat be knees, but just remeber to go easy on da old girl. She is ya Mum afta all, and Mums gives da best cuddles.
I dont know about da horse licorice but if da cow paddies are anyfing to go by - an dayz are impresive - da sheep licorice is small bite size pieces just right for a GS mouth.

Oh da fridge is opening
Time to go

best be careful cause me Mum reads these messages we send each other and she said summit about "Thats enough of the old Zar" wot eva she is on about. You fegettled that Mums also give good treats and make good boil-ups for GSDs as well
When we walks we go past this place that has a black cat with the biggest scariest eyes you ever did see, I am like a coiled up spring ready for action and never takes me eyes orf this unblinking stare it has. (OGB here, its a ruddy plywood cut out the scaredy cat is on about) Is NOT! It has real see right thru you eyes so it does.
Tells ya what though, these hot days make a GSD do a lot of sleeping, trouble is when I gets ready for action the rest of the house wants to go to the sleeping cave BUT, its not so bad now that me Mum has persuaded OGB to allow me inside at night so I can keep an eye on them and make sure their is no mischief got up to when they is meant to be asleep
Them dang cats, still teasing a poor young GSD, Fugly still does surprise attacks and makes me nervous, Carlos is pretty cool and we meet quite often for a lick session.
Well, think I might go splodge out uder the 'puter table and keep an eye on those two humans.
