Well,its a long time since I blogged, but talking to Jade tonight she wanted to see some pictures of all my new puppies so thought I would put some up on my blog. Thanks to Jo for these great shots.

These are 3 of Tinkerbelle's puppies, she had 5 altogether. They are by Billy my poodle male.

These are my seven beagle pups, their mother is doing a great job rearing them there is no runt.

These are 3 of Effies 5 pups by Buddy the maltese male.

Now a picture of Paula and Tammy that I bought to breed with when they grow up.

Now for a change, here is one of Rosie, my Welsh mare, with her new foal.

Well that will do for tonight as it is just about this morning! I had a new foal born today so will have to post a picture of that later. Also the kittens will have to get in next time.

The other day Julie brought my granddaughters up to see me at work. So I took a photo of them as they had come straight from school and child care group.

This is the first photo I have of Sophie in her school uniform.

Genevieve about to enjoy her afternoon tea. I am so lucky to have my two special girls living so close that I can see a lot of them.

Well I am home again after a brief break at the coast. I didn't manage to get away until nearly lunchtime on Sunday with so much to do before I left. Got down there mid-afternoon and took a stroll along the river front. A friend came down and we went to the Bowls Club for a feed, and it was very nice.

The next morning I headed up the coast and stopped for a walk along the beach, such an expanse of white sand and very few people around.

From there I headed up to Sea World, where I had a great time looking at the animals.

Unfortunately my phone camera isn't up to action shots, as the dolphin show was fantastic.

I spent a lot of time watching the sealions playing and interacting.

I was very lucky that the polar bear was very active and I watched him having a great game with one of his toys.

The next day I went to the gym first thing then headed off to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where I took more photos - animals of course!

The dingoes came quite close to where I was so I had the chance to get a decent photo.

The kangaroos were all feeling pretty lazy in the hot sun and didn't mind having their photo taken. The next two pictures also depict sleepy animals.

I had a chat with the fellow doing the camel rides and learnt that he also has other animals that he takes to fetes, schools etc. So I asked him if he needed any more. The result was that he is coming up here on Sunday week to look at Merlin the mule and Fuji the little pig. He may also be interested in a donkey.

I left Currumbin soon after lunch so that I could go and get ready to go to the Outback Spectacular that night. I couldn't take any photos there as it was not allowed, but I had a fantastic evening. Then yesterday I had to come home, after a little retail therapy!

At 4 years old my granddaughter, Sophie, is already computer mad. She spent a large part of her sleep-over on the computer, only leaving it to come out and help me feed the animals. She went home this afternoon, having had a great time, and leaving Grandma feeling slightly exhausted. One is certainly on the go all the time. A session at the gym before I returned home seemed quite relaxing.

When I went to take this picture there were three of the four kittens on Sophie's chair, but one jumped off and came to talk to me. They think the chair is just made for kittens.

Today Sophie is having a sleep-over with me, she was packed on Sunday ready to come! If she is good she gets to stay Wednesday night as well. Tomorrow we go to Warwick to do the shopping and get the feed, she hasn't been able to come with me this year since she started school. Won't have much chance to chat on msn for the next couple of nights, but will catch up after that.
