Everybody Goin' Surfin' Kauai Surfin' Girl

Yesterday, Daddy said we were going to the "beach"....I thought, at first, that we were going to visit another girl dog, but then I remembered that he didn't speak with an accent.  So my interest was piqued because, you know, girls just gotta have fun!

I got to go in the truck which I love....I'm getting very good at driving:

That's me right by our post office waiting for Papa to get our fish express dinners for our adventure.  We got to the "beach" (and I'm still really in the dark about it but, hey, I get to ride with the family so who cares?!)....

We walked down a short path and....okay....It looked like a big bath tub...so I 'm thinking...no big deal.  Been there, done that.... BUT THEN....

Well, at first I must admit (only to you dear, dear fans) that I was bit scared...but then...those waves, the taste, the smell...I wanted to go for it.   And I did.  I was in heaven!

I could've barked all night, I could've barked all night, and still have begged for more.....Daddy told me that if I REALLY looked hard I could even see Australia!!   Yes I was heaven....and knew I had really found "home."

That's me with my Daddy....after my first real swim....

It's a Whole New World....

Oh my, oh my....I got to leave my yard today...and I had NO idea what was on the other side of the fence.  I'd seen things whizzing by and heard things as I peered through the bushes but thought they were just sounds and sites that were "out there."  I even saw many many runners as the Kauai Marathon ran right by our yard...I tried to get them to behave--running up and back to get them to listen but they just lept on going....

Oh, I digress....Today....well TODAY I was awakened!

Daddy put the bondage contraption on me....I'm kinda getting to like it...but don't ever think that I'll be into that sado-machistic stuff....I do NOT look good in black leather or latex!!! MY contraption is a lovely shade of blue with tiny white pawprints on it....I look amazingly stunning in it if I do say so myself.

Anyway, we went toward the gate, Daddy reached up and it.....opened and I could see lots of stuff....I had NO idea that that gate opened!  We crossed the street where the contraptions with rubber round things whiz by and it was all I could do not to collapse with the plethora of smells!

Cut grass, new grass, flowers, poop, more poop, dead frogs, dead god-knows-what, even MORE poop and best of all PUDDLES AND MUD everywhere!!! Bestill my beating heart... And dear readers--I even saw ANOTHER DOG!!!!  Not a very pretty one I might add--nothing like I saw in my Aussie digs---but still another creature like me....

It felt like I could go anywhere....well, I soon found out, anywhere that about 16 feet would allow me to go as then I had a rude awakening as I was jolted back.  But you get my point I'm sure.

Now I know how Princess Jasmine felt....because, of course, we Princesses do all think alike!

These are a Few of my Favorite Things.....NOT

Okay, dear fans and readers....Daddy keeps bringing out this toy that annoys me, fascinates me, tickles me, irritates me, and--frankly--drives me nuts!  He keeps running it over my body and saying "good girl, pretty girl, no biting" over and over.  He calls this device of sado-machist torture a BRUSH.   And what's worse....I can't eat it!! 


Here it is....

See the vicious teeth....the hard, cold plastic....Oh dear god--help me Aussie Mom....is there anything ever created that is more of a tease?!   And if that isn't bad enough....Daddy keeps saying "this is for your own good.  We're getting you ready for when we really have to brush you!"  All said with this happy, loving tone---do you SEE where I'm going with this?  Do you have any doubts now about my torture/pleasure?"  And then--hel-lo--"until we really have to brush you"--what does THAT mean!?


And then...he opens the BOX--yes THE Box--and shows me more brushes he has for me....here's one...

And another....

AND THEN.....THE TWINS!!!!.....

Oh Mother of great Nana-Dog (from "Peter Pan")....is this what beauty has come to???
