Freddie the Country Dog

We have officially moved into our new home.

This means of course that Freddie now gets 100 acres to roam and protect.

Which means that there is a whole new set of adventures out there for Freddie to get into.

Yesterday we went out for a walk because I wanted to check out the Water Tank at the top of the hill.

I'm going to pee on this, do you have to look???

Here is the cute boy caught in the act of peeing on a bush.

Coming mum! You called?

Getting closer!

After which he bounded off down the hill in pursuit of something.

After I walked up to visit the water tank and check out the views, I started calling for Fred.

He'd been gone for a good fifteen minutes by then and I was getting worried.

I stood still listening intently for the sound of a puppy in pain. I eventually heard lots of crashing and wood snapping and then spotted the boy bounding up towards me.

I love how the pics capture him with this mouth open and all this fangs sticking out. LOL

Freddie the Luck Dragon

Freddie Big Tongue

Here he is after coming back, panting like a banshee and with his tongue hanging out.

This picture makes him look like the Luck Dragon from Neverending Story.

At least I think so anyway....

He seemed pretty happy anyway.

I also spotted all this yellow stuff on top of his nose.

I think he might have tried to stick his nose into an ant hill or something.

That or he found a HUGE flower full of pollen to sniff. LOL

Here he is later, resting back at the house. If you look his back paw is bleeding.

I didn't notice at first until I started taking lots of pics.

He had managed to scrape off half his toe.

YECH

I think he might've just landed on something without realising as he was running.

I washed it off with dettol and rinsed it a few times.

This morning it looks ok so I've stopped worrying.

Let's just hope he keeps his adventures to ant hills.

The last thing I want is for him to discover snakes =(

"Yech mum! Not Snakes..."

Here are a few more close up shots. I love this one - he looks so serious:

The Contemplative Fred

Here he is after drinking water. He practically drank an entire bowl. I have no idea what he got up to when he ran off.

And to be honest I'm not sure I really want to know. LOL

A Happy Boy

I LOVE this shot of him also. Again you can see that yellow spot on the bridge of his nose.

He's been Yellow-Spotted

And another one taken from above...

And lastly a profile shot. Look at his fangs!

Some new Freddie Portraiture

*yawn* why do we have to take pictures?

 I know, I know, I know.
Long time no blog!
Life has been super hectic while we get ourselves into gear.
We are in the middle of moving into a 100 acre property which will give little Freddums here enough room to run!
Managed to get out the camera yesterday (and bring in the cable this morning) to capture a few pics of little Puppy Fred when we headed down to the coast.
I didn't manage to get any pics of him swimming, but it seems like he's lost his aversion to water for good and was willing to get into the river. Not like last time when he was dragged kicking and screaming into it. We'll turn him into a Water Puppy yet!
Here are some cute pics from the back of the car en route to the coast:

"Ok mum, if you insist here's me looking super happy!"

"Yup, still smiling!"

OK, this is getting slightly dull now..

It was a very hot day yesterday and you can see that's he's trying his best to stay cool with that big pink tongue of his hanging out.

OK mum, are we there yet???

Isn't he a handsome boy? He's still growing
sideways and filling out nicely. He's never going to get any taller,
but this is his third collar since we got him, and he's already moved
up another notch on the collar hole thingies.

We'll be moving into our new property in less than 20 days. So stay tuned and I promise to take pics of his new digs when we get there! Oh yes, and post them up of course!
