Okay, dear dear fans...The good news is that I got to go to the beach with Daddy and the kids....I barked and barked and BARKED at those nasty white things.  I love the salty water but ohhhhh my!! how my insides churn and burn on the backside.   We stayed for hours and I was pooped out--literally and figuratively.

The bad news is that after I got home from the beach I learned it was a TRICK!!!   It was all part of Daddy's mad plot to give me a bath and a grooming using Aussie Mom's brushing techniques/torture.   And after two hours of brushing over two days....this is how i felt.

Seriously, I really felt like a zombie and was ready to eat the next person who even thought of brushing me!  But I never ate anybody..... yet (insert maniacal laugh here).

Okay, okay....maybe I exaggerate JUST a tad....honestly, Daddy keeps telling me is for my own good.  And you know...do NOT tell him....but I am beginning to think that he is right.  Because now I have more good news...Look at me!  

  

Happy Mother's Day to Me!!

Last month, I had a dream come true.  I was reunited with my Aussie Mum for a visit.   When she pulled up, I recognized the accent immediately and was so happy....THEN, wait for it....she said "get the combs!" and that was the last I remember after a brutal brushing where I got pummeled with that "collie comb" (nice name for an axe!  Sorry, Lassie!) and Daddy got pummeled for being WAY too soft on the girl.  And I thought Daddy was hard enough thank you very much.....

I will say that after an hour (probably because I blacked out during most of it), I looked MUCH better, felt POUNDS lighter and was just sooooo happy that I forgave Aussie Mum (mostly).   Daddy had enough wool for a sweater too!!

Here we are during happier parts of the visit!! I do look good don't I!?  Love you Aussie Mum--thanks for visiting!
