Cute Puppy + Water = ?

This is the same cute puppy as the other photo (this one was taken within a few days of that other photo too) ... we went and watered the trees, that our Landcare group had planted, next to a pond ... and, of course, Diesel had to go for a swim ...



yes - that is grass he is standing on - you can see why the trees needed some water!
(it was hot, it was dry, it was windy, and this photo was taken 2 days before the bushfires came in to Canberra in January 2003)


Here is another photo, same place, a couple of weeks later ... same dog, after doing the same thing, but this time he found more mud ...




and ... a few days later, same place, same thing again -
(except this time we were not watering trees - it was a stinking hot day and the kids wanted to go there for a swim!)




and ... if you can't find mud - then some dust will do!
(the joys of living in a new estate with all the building sites/piles of dirt/etc nearby - and yes - if you look closely among that dust, you can also make out the shape of one very grotty child who was definitely going straight in the bath/shower when she got home!)



oops ... where did the evening go?!

... I will find some more photos to put in here later (ones when he is older, and covered in even more mud/etc ;-)

goodnight


a silly cat thingy, and a cute cat thingy ...

This blog seemed like a good place to put this URL

(maybe I should resist the temptation to go look at "featured blogs" that come up on the log in page when I log in to post stuff on one of my blogs? :-)

of course, while I was there, I had to type "cat" into the google video search thingy and see what else I found - there were quite a few silly things,
and ...
... a cat riding a pony!

NOT Spot :-)

... but a blog called "Spot" just has to have a picture of a cute puppy in it!

His name is Diesel



(he is 3 years old now, but he was only a pup when this photo was taken, in January 2003)

A blog called "Spot"

Why a blog called "Spot"?


Why not?


When I was learning to read at school, we had a reader about some kids and a dog called Spot, when my kids were little they used to like books (and the TV show) about a different dog who was also called Spot.


On the TV show "Star Trek" the android, Data, has a cat called Spot.


So ... after some absent minded daydreaming earlier this evening (about how my other blogs are here on blogSPOT) ... I decided to have a blog called Spot


Now ... I guess I had better go and edit it and add my bits to it, and change a few of the weird colours that it has on the template that I used. (knowing a little bit of basic html comes in handy ... could also be dangerous too I guess - especially seeing that the only html I know is what I have worked out/taught myself while messing around with web pages and blogs and stuff! ;-)
