In my life 10th Anniversary year - Chapter One - Celebrating the Doggies

Georgie Girl and a puppy Millie - January 2010

Hello my Dear Readers,

(I hope you are all well and are remaining 
positive during the current world health crisis).

In order to celebrate this blogs 10th Anniversary 
I was planning to choose the 
10 best pics and share them again with you!  
That was never going to work was it?
 
I have posted 1000's of photos over the past 10 years and 
choosing 10 favourites was IMPOSSIBLE!

So, I'm going to split it up into numerous themed chapters. 
I'm going to keep most of these posts quick and simple, (I hope).

You may have guessed by the title of this post that ,
Chapter One will be about our doggies, and that's because the photo 
(ABOVE) was the first photo I ever, ever, posted in January 2010.
 
Millie got halfway down the stairs, at our old Richardson ave house, then she got scared to go down the next flight, so Georgie stayed with her for support, and I quickly snapped this very cute photo. 
 
Both were Cavoodles, but not related. Millie was Sean and Emily's dog. Yes, past tense, they are both dead, Millie not so long ago last year I think. 
And yes, Sean and Emily's marriage is also over, so that's past tense as well..,.

Okay, so now please join me on a celebration of the last 10 years of dogginess in my life!

January 2011 before clip

January 2011 - after clip!

Above: Here are (Whats it all about) ALFIE and (Hey there) GEORGIE GIRL(Earl). 

Georgie was a puppy farm purchase and Alfie was a Maltese rescue dog from Monika's Doggie rescue in Sydney. And yes it did cost a fortune to clip them every 3 months.

July 2011
 As you can see, they had an extensive wardrobe of winter coats, made by me...
(I've still got some of that fabric in my stash).

August 2011
ABOVE:- Here they are in the car. They were the best dogs ever in the car, a 7 hour trip to Sunshine coast we did many times with no problems, except that Georgie was really reluctant to wee in strange places and would hold onto it until we got to Sean's house at Beerwah. 

Winter 2012
 Above: Alfie's special Lotus coat!
 
December 2012
Alfie's also dead (in 2015) - Grahams best buddy- RIP Alf.

December 2013
Above:-  We spent Christmas 2013  in a rental house, as we were moving, and one morning there was a Koala in the gum tree in the backyard! 

This  is Georgie Girl's best 'up close and personal' wild life experience. 

She was going bananas, but the Koala just kept coming towards her, 
no wonder they get killed by dogs. Poor dim things.

December 2013 Kim, Graham and our doggies
Above: Christmas Day at Sean and Emily's, now moved from the Sunshine coast 
and bought a house in  Donnelly street, Armidale.

January 2016
 Above:- Well, Alfie died, which was very sad.
So we then chose to adopt the great Doggie Blogger, MISS LIZZY, from the RSPCA.

Hi My Mum's Dear Readers, its me Miss Lizzy here, to tell you 
how much I am enjoying my Mum's doggie blog post..


October 2016
Poor Georgie, an old woman dog by then and we expected her to 
spend 24/7 with a very, very, very, crazy puppy!

Hummph REALLY Mum, and I gave her sooo much love...

And then Georgie Girl  died, which was tragic, especially as it was at the kennel while we were away.

We didn't get to say goodbye and the only one that really knows what happened 
is Miss Lizzy who was with her that night.

Mum, I'm not telling you.. firstly because I can't really talk, (spell, or use a keyboard, snigger)
 and its better you for you this way.  
She saved you so much stress, you didn't have to make a life or death decision, 
like you had to do with the Alf-meister.(Alfie).

Love and wet noses - Miss Lizzy 
 
February 2018
Then we decided to give TINY TEDDY a new home, and this is our current doggie dynamic duo. 

I think they are both terrier crosses.
Crossed with? Chewbacca, Dingo, Red Heeler??
Who knows? I'll check their DNA the first time they have a blood test.

August 2018

This pair aren't into coats - they tend to eat them. But are very good when we clip them ourselves.

December 2018

December 2019 -  Hunting of the Christmas Cheese...
I hoped you enjoyed this silliness,
I promise the next anniversary post will be more sensible. 
 
...Stay Well...
