Morning Walk Excitement!

It was another frosty morning:  -2°C/28.4°F.  We had ice on our rubbish bin, frost




 and the puddles had a thin layer of ice.

We got to the river early and were busy
investigating all the overnight scents
when SHE noticed a stump.....
that turned into a wallaby!
By the time SHE got the camera out,
he was off!

 With us hot on the trail.

But he disappeared quickly and SHE called us back.
Drats.

We continued our walk and when the rest of polar expedition
arrived, we raced to tell them all about it!


(Yes, we do get cold weather, for us,  20sF to 50sF on winter days.  It is colder south of us, and warmer to the north....just the opposite of the northern hemisphere.  Our winters don't last very long so WE don't have central heating.  Others have gas heaters, or wood fires.  We just have electric, and SHE bundles up.  The dogs love it!.)

  7. Not many dogs can say they have actually chased a wallaby - Most just dream about it!

    PS: Read your previous posts, it seems that Dui is feeling better -- was it the trip to the vet?

  8. You got to chase a wallaby and you came back when SHE called???????? Are you mad or are you just trying to make me look BAD!!!!!! You blokes need to get your act together, aye?? We don't have heating either but it's not as cold here and it only lasts a week or two. So far we've only had about 3 cold days. Today's beautiful. About 22C. Beach weather almost.

  14. it's interesting that the norh is warmer than the south... ist that the same in summer that the northern part is warmer than the southern? the mama said she would love to need no central heating... butt my daddy said actually do we have no central heating, because the chimney from hell is still on strike... sometimes it is easy to please a mom and to make her wishes true LOL

  18. Now that was some excitement to see a wallaby! Mom said she is even more impressed with y'all that y'all returned when She called you. Mom said I would have acted like the wind was in my ears and I couldn't hear. BOL

    Aroo to you,
    Sully

    Your Pals,

  20. We love ice though Mom doesn't. You guys get to chase the neatest animals. We have roos and wallabys at the zoo just a couple miles from here but we aren't allowed.

  21. Our mom hates to be cold so there would have to be some heat!

  22. I bet a wallaby is tough to catch! But fun to try!

  23. Lady admits she never thinks of Australia as a place that gets so cold. She listens to an Australian podcast and they were talking about it this week. Stay warm! We are having temperatures in the high 20-early 30 C - which we think is too hot!

  24. Dear friends,

    Your puddles are broken! You cannot drink out of them anymore! And also, I have never heard of a wallaby! My person says that I would not like to meet one. We just have many deer. No wallabies. Nature is so different in different places, isn't it?

    Stay warm!

    Licks,
    Cobi
