The Cut Mandurah October 2012

 Sienna walking Rex at The Cut Mandurah.

These two are really good pals.
Sienna's saying this week "I am a clever clop"

However

This is what some idiot has done to Wade's memorial boogie board.........burnt it......lovely for his family and friends I am DISGUSTED  and guessing the moron that did this also did the graffiti on all the white walls, it makes me sick these fools ought to get a life and let the rest of us enjoy the beauty of this place without all this crap! Link to Wade's story

Animal Photos I love that came in an email.

My garden October 2012

Not sure what these suckers are they came up by themselves. I think they must be a bulb. They are so pretty they start off with a green cone head that opens to heaps of white flowers......very pretty I must say.

Below are my "HIPPIES" that are just starting, I brought these up from Bouvard and did not think they liked it here but are doing really well now. 4 lovely big flowers on each spike. The mulch and sheep poo must be working!

The three Jacks

Archie, Daisy & Molly waiting while I dry my hair so they can see what the day will bring.

Early walk for you lot down the oval playing ball, or should that be fighting over the ball, they are fast little suckers. I love the way Archie tilts his head when he listens to me talk to him. I am really going to miss this lot this time as it was such a long stay and they were so much fun.- Archie and I are now "besties" funny little dog he wants to sit on my knee all day long! I think he may have popped on some weight - I hope not, but he is not as active as the other two.........................

I need one of these for our buck tooth rabbit "Sienna"
See lunch at "The Highway Hotel"

Rex came to stay for nearly a week and Sienna was here also as Trav. was in Broome visiting Scotto.

This dog loves kids they did everything together. They both had a great time. Sienna called him a Clever Clop or Rex the wonder dog.

Teeth cleaning  Rex was there to help he did not leave her side.

JERRY I am guessing a Springer Spaniel with a name like that. Becky his Mum dropped him in so she could go shopping he cries for her if he is left. He did to start with but a game of ball down the park and a biscuit fixed that. He was a good little man.

5th October 2012 PRONTO'S Mandurah

Kathy and I had a Friday lunch here and my was it GOOD...........no............TERRIFIC
I also went there just a couple of weeks ago for another friends birthday and this applies to both. I had the same food both times and so did my friends.
Oysters to die for and Local whiting cooked to PERFECTION, lots of too.
Both friends had the salmon and raved about it, I am not a salmon person so did not try it
The wine list is fabulous, the staff excellent
10-10 I would highly recommend it.

Trav's birthday lunch at EATON TAVERN 6th October 12

The three of us arrived and it was not very busy so we thought we were in for a great day, after hearing so many good reports about the food. The staff were not at all helpful or friendly. They never brought over the kids menu for Sienna or her colouring in. We decided on a tasting plate and some oysters to start with. That arrived and they never gave us a side plate to eat off until I asked and then only brought two!
The Oysters were the big suckers but I must say fresh and even Trav. tried a couple. The tasting plate was tasty with a couple of dips, some bread sausage, feta and olives. We were chatting and picking away when out she came with our mains, and no where to put them!. We had not finished picking - well we had now thanks to the waitress.! she never said a word just popped the mains down with us making room for the plates!.
Trav and I both had a steak, tomatoes must still be expensive as no sign of any in the salad! The steaks were OK not brilliant.
So I must say even though we had heard such great reviews about Eaton Tavern to me the service was NON existent on a quite day, people had to wait for ages at the bar to get their drink order filled, so all in all not a place I would recommend. It is not cheap pub food so you should expect a pleasant experience.
2 out of 10 for mine! and we will not be going back.

Lunch HIGHWAY HOTEL BUNBURY Sept.2012

I went to lunch with Trav and Sienna and the place we wanted was closed as it was Sunday. I suggested the Highway Hotel, it has been renovated. Good choice as it turned out. The food was terrific although we had to wait a while. They brought out a pack for Sienna that she could keep it had all sorts in it, colouring in, crayons,  ball , puzzles, etc.and they also brought her fish and chips out early (good thinking as kids don't like waiting) the fish was REAL and grilled for her. She loved it and I must say a nice change from the packet crap you usually get with kids meals. Then to top off a good day Trav's and my food was also great and there is more. They had a young girl doing some fabulous FREE face painting on the kids...............

So after the lovely lunch up we went for our turn......she could have picked anything from beautiful butterflies, princess, cats, lions etc...................no she wanted the Buck Tooth Rabbit..........................I asked Trav. could we try something a little more pretty he said "No she wants to look like her Uncle Buck (Scott)" Look how nervous our little darling is I love the look in image two!

Scott I did try to talk her out of it and I thought it was mean of Trav - he was sooooo worried we would not have a good picture of the buck teeth......................I think these pictures speak for themselves, she was tad nervous.

and as they say save your best to last....................notice the turtle tat on the arm - that also came in the pack!

we left and hopped all the way to the BUNBURY FARMERS MARKET another win, they have the best and freshest fruit and vegies in the South West. I love that place. They are now doing really great looking meat so it has turned into a one stop shop and cheap as........................

I think the Highway Hotel has thought of it all and I would highly recommend it. Thanks for a great day.
10 - 10 for mine

Sienna and September Guests

Little Susie Saunders came for an overnighter and she had fur this time. She is a LOVELY sweet smart  little girl - her Mum and Dad went to a wedding. She is such a good looking girl, no stains around her eyes that most poodles get. She is tiny I think probably a toy poodle - she looks like a young dog and is in good nick. 

The 3 Jacks are back for 3 and half  weeks. Daisy, Molly & Archie they remembered me and settled in really quickly..... going to get a little crowded in bed tonight!! Oh well they are cute....................and that's what Jack Russell's do.................

Cute Daisy & Molly

Breakfast time

 Archie

 Daisy

Molly

I asked Sienna what she would like for lunch....thinking Jam or Vegemite sandwich..........
Sushi please .......................
I guess times have changed!

She came prepared for a large craft weekend by the looks of two boxes of paints. I think we have a budding artist on our hands. I also love to paint.

Sienna and Jazz.......what dog does not like smacko's? and she likes to control the portions!

This dog has the patience of a saint she loves Sienna.

Feeding teddy with a rock that is in the shape of a bottle. I think being an only child she is good at amusing herself and playing games. We spent a lot of this weekend on a bus under the clothes line, such fun! - I went from being a passenger to the driver.......................

Iceberg Roses are such good value

My first roses for the season. The soil here is not good so I have them in a pot, they are stunning. God help any bug that goes near them!

Kassy Young

Day one walk:

Kassy took me down "The Cut" today for a walk. I don't like choker chains so took it off, now I am not sure how it works. I will get Reg to show me. She set a cracking pace, I wanted to stop and watch the dolphins playing but she wanted to walk on! So I walked on..........

Kassy  won't have to worry about any "romance" going on around here unless things change some what! So she should be able to relax and enjoy her holiday. Stay tuned.

Kassy  I think it is time you moved into the big girls bed, you look a little like a pimple on a pumpkin in your bed. Maybe Mum & Dad will get you a new one in Europe! Night one went well, she ate her dinner and slept until I got up in her "little" bed.

JY do you know who this is with your dog?  A blast
from the past. Clue: You have played cards with him!

Playing Ball down The Cut

Kassy is being really good and has now settled in well here, I love the way she tilts her head from side to side when she is listening to me talk to her. 

Friday little Banjo Yates came to play. We walked down The Cut and then played "racing around Jenny's garden"  Both dogs will sleep well tonight. Banjo is one cute but fast sucker with attitude and loves to win! I think Kassy needs a bigger playing field to have any chance of catching him..................

Kassy is in training for the "South Mandurah Sheep Trials." She does strike a very fetching pose, has a little trouble working out some of the tasks set for her...ie. emu.........is not a sheep, but with a little more practice I am sure we will be in the winners circle in no time - she loves the South Mandurah Football oval for a change of pace in her exercise it is all fenced in so she does not have to go on her lead. I must get Banjo down there and they can play chasey which would be better than in my garden.
We had a storm last night and K. is a little like her Daddy does not like to get her feet wet, she hung on all night and I let her out at 4am she is a  good little girl.

Sienna and Kassy love playing ball.
Sienna thinks Kassy is soooo clever cause she can catch the ball without it bouncing. We walked under the big bridge today, Kassy was not too sure about it and stuck right by my left side like she was protecting me as well, no pulling on the lead today.
I hate to tell you guys Kassy is not the romance police, she is one jealous little girl and does not like me cuddling Sienna either!

Bella & Hamish

These two are soooo close they sleep together and cuddled all day. I thought at first they did not like the holiday home, but they warmed up after about 3-4 days. Very gentle well behaved dogs. I think Hamish is the sook and Bella looks after him. Sienna loved them.
