I promised some NZ doggie photos!

In the last blog entry I shared my holiday video, and promised photos from our short stay with Beryl, Frankie and Sue of Greyhounds Can Sit.

Well early in the day, Sue's house became Greyhound Heaven, when Stanley and two lovely foster lady greys joined the party.

There was action in the kitchen, and everyone was standing at attention.



Lovely old Lilly with her gammy back leg was so sweet and cheeky. She is being fostered along with Bettina (I hope I remembered her name right) in handsome Stanley's house.



Poor Beryl lost all of her beds to other dogs, and the Princess was quite put out. Here is Bettina hogging Beryl's lounge room bed.



After a bit of time frollicking in the garden, we all loaded up and went to the beach. Stanley likes the water and will dip his belly in it to keep cool. This photo could just as well be a photo of Barbie cooling herself off!



The dogs were tired quickly because it was hot, relatively. Beryl doesn't like to do much when it's more than 18 degrees Celsius. Beryl is actually an Australian, so we made fun of her for being such a wuss. Barbie doesn't start to wilt until the temperature gets over 30 degrees Celsius!

Anyway, we made a second trip to the beach later in the evening in order for Frankie and Beryl to go tearing through the sand dunes.

Frankie says, "what! relax! of course I can drive this thing"



Beryl enjoys showing us her beach when the temperature has dropped and both her ears went up as soon as we entered the sand dunes.



It was really great being able to visit Greyhounds and Frankie whilst we were on holidays in NZ, and Sue is pretty awesome too. I just hope she finds the inspiration to update her blog again some time!

Looks awesome. I am jealous as hell that you got to visit my Beryl! Deccy x
Great pictures, really made me miss the beach. It sounds like you all had a great day. I miss Sue's blog too.
That sounds like such a fun wagging day! Especially the beach. I too only like to get my tum wet.

Oh dear, I'm not only not blogging, I'm not reading them either, lol! You got much better pics than I did, love the one of Frankie in the drivers seat:) Have you heard about the pound pups that are being trained to actually drive a car here? I'm not going to let Frankie watch when the programme airs on Monday night!! You were very close, it's Bridgette not Bettina (which is a lovely name too) and there is a double adoption in the air, keep your fingers crossed for them:) Next time you come and visit we'll take you to the forest:)

yup, will for sure keep my fingers crossed for those sweet old girls! I did see the dogs learning to drive, they are getting a lot of publicity, and I definitely wouldn't let Frankie watch that, good thing it will be hard for him to reach the pedals ;)
