Elvis made the cut, and came out for another Thursday adventure, with Walter and his mates. He was that surprised to see me, he fell off the couch šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. He took a shine to Chilli and shadowed him around šŸ˜ƒ. Bella has an interesting haircut. The girls at home mustā€™ve been practicing their scissor skills as Bella has, what looks like a barcode, on her lower back šŸ˜‚.

Willowā€™s crew found lots of interesting stuff to sniff en masse this morning. The dead possum lying in the middle of the track was of particular interest šŸ¤¢. Plastic bag over my hand and that possum was yeeted into the dense blackberry, discus style. Even did the circular spin to gain momentum. No appreciation from the dogs. They tried to recover it, but that blackberry was too thick šŸ„³šŸ„³. Biscuit and Dobby had a well fought battle over a stick. They were so engrossed in their efforts, that they didnā€™t notice Buster whip in and break a bit off. He was then convinced that he had it in him to take the whole stick from Dobby. Heā€™s still waiting for the right moment to spring his attack. Bowie was ecstatic to be riding shotgun with Willow. Best ride ever šŸ˜ƒšŸ„°

The Spice Girls were down on numbers today, with Daisy and Mabel having the day off. The boys, Kimbo and Moose, took control of navigating through the dog sled tracks. Well, Kimbo stayed on track, Moose prefers off-track exploring. He is on the hunt for possums. Fortunately, he comes straight away when called. Lucy, was keen for some games of chase. Meadow and Willoh are always willing participants, in fact, the more chasing, the better adventure ranking in their eyes.

Tedā€™s team ripping it up at Oreti Sands. I bought myself an ice cream on the way home. Ari and Walter were not happy that I wouldnā€™t give them a lick. Had to drive with the ice cream out the window.

The Dudeā€™s running delightedly through the mown grass. Loki way out front, sniffing out good stuff or standing watching the madness ensue. Always a quiet van on the way home šŸ’¤šŸ’¤šŸ’¤.

It was a bit fresh this morning for Fleur and her crew. Apparently not that cold for Lizzie, Tova and Nala to dive into a mucky pond. We finished the morning at the river, washing off the mud. They enjoyed that too šŸ„°

Chica went hands free today. She had a 10m longline on with no one holding the other end. Next week she should be ready to go without any lead on. šŸ˜ƒ. The Hairy Maclary crew had a lovely time wandering around the dog sled tracks. Stan got amongst the chasing games with Flynn, Buster and Molly. Penny shadowed big Flynn, his barking must be music to her ears šŸ˜‚. Nelson has taken charge of leading the crew and is a great wee navigator. I lifted two dogs into the front seat of the van, then helped the rest into the back. By the time I had clipped the first dog in, there were now five in the front!!šŸ„°šŸ„°.

Finn and Buddy brought along their mate, Arlo for an adventure with the Lab Ladā€™s. He enjoyed running through the forest with the boys. Nelson was back in action, certain that he was owed catch up treats, for missing Fridayā€™s allocation. Hard to resist that face of desperation šŸ˜‚. Syd had great fun chasing with Flynn. Flynn, has a very deep bark and likes to bark when heā€™s excited. So with all the chasing, there was quite a lot of noise. Very easy to know exactly where he is.

Gussieā€™s gang love exploring in the forest. They also love a good game of chase. Gus, told Molly off for chasing Ardie. Ardie and Molly were having great fun, taking turns at chasing each other. Wee Gus, obviously thought that it was an unfair match, size wise šŸ˜‚. He then chased them both. Frida and Murphy were zipping in and out between the trees, having loads of fun. Hugo bravely joined them and was very proud of his daring.

If there was a chase on, Pepper was in. Lots of chasing games and, oddly, grass eating for Chilliā€™s crew today. A rare opportunity to capture Karma motionless was seized, when she momentarily lay down to catch her breath. And then she was off again with Jack and Pepper on her heels. When we dropped Goldie off, her little sister, Winnie, came out to get a treat. Apparently she will be as big as Goldie when fully grown. Gonna need a bigger van!

The Friday Goodsorts made the most of a beautiful afternoon, by adventuring along the beach. Oscar was in his element. He loves the beach. He was nonstop action. The beach was littered with driftwood that the recent high tide had brought in. So there was lots to sniff and explore. The fresh water drink stop before we got back in the van, was much appreciated by some thirsty wee bundles of cuteness.

The Lab Ladā€™s were without their captain, Nelson, who was feeling a bit poorly. Hopefully he will be back in action on Tuesday. We spent quite some time at the pond. Fetching cones and then diving into the water to fetch them once again, was very popular. It was the perfect morning for it and then we looped around Oreti Sands where the cut grass was also super exciting. Some energetic chase games ensued before it was time to get back in the van. Surprisingly, Buddy, led the crew to the van, with no whipping back to the pond and refusing to get out. Miraculous morning.

Elvis, joined Walter and his mates on their adventure today. He enjoyed running alongside the ā€œbig dogsā€, but it looked like his view of them was mostly legs.

Willowā€™s crew had a fantastic time at Oreti Sands roaring around the newly mown grass. Everyone got to chase and be chased. Buster got Molly to chase him and then tried to convince Dobby (Doberman) to chase him too. Quite the mismatch, but Buster didnā€™t think so. Biscuit is loving having friends who have the same interests as her, chasing, finding treasure and swimming. Bowie and Molly nearly went swimming, they were chasing hard out and didnā€™t realise they were heading into the water. Both pulled on the brakes and kept at their knee deep limit.

Lucy ran like the wind today. She was keen for some chasing games and had just the right crew mates for just that. Willoh, Daisy and Meadow would chase their own shadows. Moose and Kimbo had a lovely time up the front, mooching around in the undergrowth, in the hope of flushing out a possum. Wee Mabel observed all the chasing from a safe 10 metres back. She loves a good sniff, stroll and explore outing.

The Mad Lads or Dudes, depending on energy levels, burned off a few calories for me today. Fast paced adventuring is their default mode. Charlie found a ridiculously large stick. He was not going to concede that it was far too heavy and cumbersome to carry. Of course he imagined that a prize like that would be wanted by all the other dogs. He stealthily lingered at the back of the pack in case they tried to steal it. It was no easy task for him, manoeuvring between trees on the track and whipping past potential robbers. Quite a hard stick to, I know this having been whacked around the shins about 50 times as he whipped past me. As we neared the van, he put it down to give the muscles in his jaw a rest. In like a rocket went Arlo, and pinched it. Charlie couldnā€™t believe it. He looked at me, as if to say ā€œPenalty, foul play, blow your whistle and get my stick back, and no treats for Arloā€!! Arlo, quickly and wisely ascertained that the stick was indeed ridiculously big and heavy. He dropped it and Charlie gleefully reclaimed his treasure.

Lots of fun at the beach this morning for Fleurā€™s crew. Nala was the standout beach babe. She loved running into the surf and chasing along the sand with best friend for the day, Lizzie. Big Jed got into it too. He enjoyed chasing but wasnā€™t too sure about being chased. They found heaps of interesting things to sniff and driftwood to explore. Geri and Molly were having so much fun that they didnā€™t have time for disappearing in the sand dunes. Thankfully.
