oh so brave to the end



Inside all of us is Hope.
Inside all of us is Fear.
Inside all of us is Adventure.
Inside all of us is a Wild Thing...

digby's family said there will be laughter and mischief in heaven tonight, but even in their moment of deep sadness a miracle did happen... and it brings a new meaning to the discomfort of rain, thank you wilf & co...

jackson's family said he left us dreaming of his favourite occupation, destroying toys...
the perfect way to close a chapter...

our friend asta, always wise and sensitive said...
"Jackson and Digby wewe made of the same stuff.. bwavewy, love,
adventoowe cuwiosity, living life to it's fullest."

petey's words tell a great tale of many tails...

many of whom you will see here

their strong spirits along with their families love,
patience and strength will always remain with us... run free guys...
loves and licks doyle, mollie, b & c xxxx

a coffee thursday and a shot in the dark



ok these foodible colours are hard...

this is me, mollie, trying to get doyle up in the morning so we can go outside with b & c while they have their coffee and we can do our morning business...

espresso?

long black?

caffè latte?

cappuccino?

looks like it's decaf...

so the other morning we were minding our business, checking on the insect population, that kinda stuff and then... from above...

we had a visit from an alien, we went off, b spilled her coffee... it was chaos... arf arf arf...

is that what this is for b??

mmmm...

does it work on cats?

we don't normally do this but we have been really moved by the plight of one wee dog in france, digby! one minute he was happily strolling down a country lane in france, the next he is fighting for his life after being infected by a tick... so unfair, so cruel...and a scary reminder to us all just how life with our furry friends is short. go visit him at their blog 'wilf and digby discover france' hang in there digby, this one's for you brave boy.... loves and licks xxx

He'll just have to wait some more

We're here for a good time"

a chartreuse thursday and the eye of the beholder

ok, mollie and i were hanging out discussing whether grass was chartreuse in colour and we kinda got on to the topic of taste. it's never wise to question your hoomans taste, i mean they got you didnt they?? well mollie and i have decided to brave the wrath of c and b and let you into a ghastly secret... they like odd stuff, kitsch things and we have the proof right here today...

this was our perfectly normal plain bathroom... dull you say?

well what about now with its chartreuse coloured walls, what were they thinking!! we thinks they chose it cos c's a drummer and the colour was called poprock, no imagination i tell'ya...

and just when you thought it was bad, it gets even wierder, look what they are going to hang on those wierd chartreuse coloured walls...

other people's kitsch stuff, oh my, they say its a collection, they think it will look cool... arf arf arf... one man's junk is another's treasure... snigger...

plus b's got no excuses, i mean, she's sposed to be a designer, see even the back of her business card says it quite clearly in bold chartreuse writing... graphic, yeah right!

she does stuff for other hoomans to make their stuff look all fancy like this new dairy company called the collective... she even named them... we think she's got collecting on the brain... you can see more of the stuff here on their website... no bull!

have to say we are rather partial to the goods, especially the apple crumble with its chartreuse writing... mighty tasty... lickalicious infact!

at least mollie's collection of rocks is fairly normal, paw picked, licked and loved! some even have chartreuse coloured slime on them... way to go mollie! c calls it our weather station cos when it tumbles we know its been windy... told ya they are nuts...

next week blue's playing coffee... that should get our wee hearts pumping... blue we love you so... your meme inspires us, it makes us think, it gives us something to yap on about... xxx

a primrose thursday and alien invasions


so the task in hand according to doyle is find primrose...

where?

hey b, the urban dictionary describes primrose as a babycake who is one hot tamale! aint that me?

no mollie, its meant to be about the colour primrose. see, this is the colour of dulux's wild primrose...

oh come on guys... look at me... does it get any hotter?... plus my highlights could be primrose, no?

i looked...

and looked...

ok i'm giving up! this is stoopid... b & c obviously don't like the colour primrose...

and i certainly don't think we've ever been visited by the primrose fairy!... hey b i think we were right last week when we said it's just a fancy name for pale yellow, i mean check out the colour of that fairy she's not like that dulux paint...

jez mollie you just got to look harder... getting off your toosh helps arf arf arf... see ive already found this dung bettle sign that has both types of yellow

and i found this guy too... oooh thats an alien with a primrose fairy coloured toosh!

ok so i admit doyle robbed me of that one but i have to tell ya something that has nothing to do with primrose and is way more important... what's better than one bird in the bush?

two on our teepee arf arf arf, our kereru has now started bringing his mate to our house, cool eh!

next blue's got us playing charteuse... oh man!

a turquoise thursday and a visit from a native

so this week's mission was turquoise, true to form, mollie was no help at all...

she reckoned she was researching turquoise in the paper...

i think she's just being lazy...

but it did get me thinking about our turquoise water bowl..

and how mollie when she was young, hot and on holiday, thought it was her private pool...

no mollie!...

aw come on just one paw...

just one? pleeeeze...

back to reality, b used her vintage turquoise pyrex this weekend for a rather special sunday lunch...


you see hannah, c's daughter, bought her boyfriend thomas over for the first time... we thought he was rather spesh...


but my great turquoise find of the week has to be...


the kereru that feasts every night in our strawberry guava tree right beside the deck...


he's a master of disguise...

and scares the living daylights out of us when he flys in cos he's so big! infact i have visions of a winged mango relentlessly huge ... aaaaaaaagh


he has the most beautiful turquoise plumage and b & c are pretty chuffed cos they want to attract more natives to our garden...



oh and next week blue's chosen primrose as the colour to play with... in real speak that's just pale yellow ok!
