More Shenanigans and Awards

We have been given a couple more awards! First up, our new Great Dane friend Kiko gave us this cute award. He lives in Portugal and according to Babelfish it translates to "Your blog deserves to be filmed" Wow, thanks so much Kiko!

There are rules:

1. Post it to the blog and link to who gave it to you.

2. Choose 5 life situations that could be repeated in slow motion and explain why.

3. List twelve blogs and let them know you've given them the award.

Hmmmm, well we've got number 1 ticked off, number 2 is tricky, we are Beagles....ummmm, what's slow motion?? Eating our dinner would be about the only thing we could list there....oh if only we could eat in slow motion! Oooh, maybe opening parcels too....that always happens too quickly! Number 3 is also tricky....we couldn't possibly choose just twelve blogs and it would take forever to do the links so we'll just say that if you don't already have this award then feel free to help yourself!

Next is the International Bloggers Community which was given to us by our sweet Beagle friend Kess who lives in Malaysia, thanks Kess!

We had already received this from Sue so we'll just link back to that post.

We now officially declare this blog an award free zone! We don't want to be party poopers and it's lovely to be appreciated but we just can't keep up with all these awards and tags anymore....each one seems to have more and more rules attached and we're not managing to post or comment as much as usual....so thanks to all those who have given us an award in the past....but from now on, no thanks!

We have been on some cool walks....we went to Nairn to walk by the river and saw a cool bird which we barked at and he flew away.

We haven't had much nice weather the last few days so not many photos (we even had a big thunder storm!) but yesterday when we went to Roseisle it was lovely and sunny. Us girls even got off our leads for a while....it was a riot, look at our long tongues!

If you are of a sensitive disposition you might want to give tomorrow's Wordless post a miss....we're just sayin'....

More Mail and a Riverside Amble

Yesterday we got a surprise in the post....a parcel from Suzuki. We couldn't work out why but it was just for taking part in her 100th post celebrations, how cool is that!? We love our new stuff Suzuki, thank you so much for the generous parcel, you're so kind!

We got two snazzy new tennis balls, a squeaky tiger and this cool kong type thing in the shape of a fire hydrant (we were just telling Mason yesterday how we don't get fire hydrants here). Ooh, it has lots of space inside....I wonder what we could put in it....?

Mmmm, peanut butter of course....and a gravy bone! (Please go and give a message of support to Thor, who because he lives in Brazil is not allowed peanut butter!)

We put it in the freezer....just like the OP Pack do....and then gave it to Rosie while the rest of us went for a walk beside the River Nairn. We love this walk!

We've already had our Mother's Day, way back in March but we know it's Mother's Day in other parts of the world so here are some flowers for all the Mums, who work so hard to tend to our every need and stay up late writing our blogs for us and working their fingers to the bone....thank you Mums, put your feet up and have a cuppa! (we'd make it for you if we had opposable thumbs....Dad?)

Happy Mother's Day!!

Mono Maniacs

This week I decided to do a sepia entry, this collage just didn't look right in black and white.

The Marina at Nairn

To play along with Mono Maniacs on ANY day of the week just visit Aileni to link your post.

Today we took Summer to Inverness for a new gym kit, we walked the boys at Nairn on the way home. Gabbi stayed to keep Rosie company.

Our sofas are covered to save them from any mess from the girls....Alfie objects to the blanket!

Remember Tellytubby Land the other day? Well this is Summer's new gym t-shirt! When she was little Po was her favourite :o)

We also saw a giant rabbit for sale in Pets At Home....(I felt bad for him and didn't think to photograph him, but he was very cute) Summer squealed and begged me to buy him but I don't think the Beagles would have understood!

Lots of catching up....

Seems like ages since we posted about where we've been but it's not that long really! Anyway, here's what we've been up to for the last few days....

On Saturday we went for a late afternoon walk at the Muiry but not in the wood, we went to the field so they could sniff all the little furries. It was very muddy and getting dark so not too many pictures!

We met some Labrador friends we haven't seen for ages, we only meet them now and again so it was nice to see them....I can't remember all the dogs' names, oops, but one of the yellows is called Dava.

On Sunday morning we went somewhere we've never been before....it's Findhorn Bay but further inshore than where we usually go, when the tide is out there's loads of space for the dogs to run on the mudflats.
Towards Forres and Cluny Hill

Towards the river mouth and Findhorn

Spot the dog....

When we came home Mum put this in the front room....?? Then she said LEAVE IT!!!! Poo!

....then our humans left us and went to Burghead to get fed, our Granda works offshore and he's going away for a month on Sunday so they had a bit of an early Christmas Dinner....lucky them! They promised to take us home a doggy bag....and then left it at Nanny's house, boohoo!

Last night our club had a Christmas match, just Rosie and Gabbi went along, Gabbi got knocked out in the first round but this time Rosie got quite far and was knocked out in the next to last round by this lovely Viszla who won Best in Match.

You can see more pictures of the match and some of our friends here.

Today we met our Wyvisview friends, Oscar-boy and "Crazy" Maisie Fraser and their human Jackie. We thought maybe Oscar and Alfie might "have words", being two entire males surrounded by bitches but they all got on great, they had a whale of a time, paddling, chasing each other, catching treats etc.

Our Mums know each other through showing but also Mum travelled down with Jackie when she went to choose Maisie and then Liam went with them too when they went to pick her up, (she is pictured above with Liam, aged 8 weeks going home to Wyvisview) this was the first time we'd seen her since then and she's so big now! Rosie was very taken with her and kept coming back to ask her to play, cute!

Snoop and Alfie "swim the channel" (i'd thrown biccies over to the sandbank)
I did have treats with me....but clearly Jackie's were better, she'd been to the pet shop to buy dried offal so she spent the walk tripping over Alfie and Gabbi....check out her new BFFs!!

Please Missus, pleeeaase!
Oscar returns from his adventures on the other side (of the dune!)
Maisie has a great recall.
Maisie and Gabbi have a game of tag.
Refreshments are served on our return home!
