Before all the Christmas celebrations started the weather up in Auckland was beautiful and sunny.  For the past 4-5 days, we’ve had the tail end of a tropical cyclone so it has been windy and very wet.  We haven’t minded though as we really enjoy playing in grass ponds, which only form when there has been lots of rain.

Anyway the weather is not what we wanted to tell you about today…

Christmas Eve was a beautiful day and there was lots of excitement because Santa would be visiting that night.  Our humans decided we should go for a nice long walk at one of our favourite parks, Waiatarua Wetland Reserve.  Even though our humans take us for an hour walk everyday, they wanted us to be extra tired because that evening we were going to Marc’s parents house for a Christmas Eve Party! Woo Hoo! They wanted to make sure we would be very well-behaved and not have lots of pent-up energy.  There was going to be lots of people and 3 other dogs there.  Two of the other dogs were Cassie and Trixie, their humans are Marc’s parents and sister.  Since it would also be beneficial for them to be tired and well-behaved they came along to the park too!! Yay, the more the merrier!! :D

So off we go to the Park, we all had a fabulous time!

We had fun running around together

We enjoyed stretching our long legs

Some of us really enjoyed the water

While others prefered to pose for the camera

We had a great time at Waiatarua and we were there for probably about 2hrs; playing with balls, sticks and other dogs! We also did lots of exploring in all the trees and bushes; Jasper especially had to see what other dogs had been to his favourite park since he was last there!  When it was time to go home, we all happily got in the car and looked forward to being able to curl up and go to sleep on our beds…

BUT sadly that is not how this story ends :shock: …

Because it was a nice hot sunny day and we were going to a party tonight with lots of people, Laura and Marc decided we needed a bath :evil: *Humph*  And not a bath with nice warm water, which would have been bad enough. A bath with horrid cold hose water!!!

It was NOT a good way to end our fun day at the park!!  But don’t worry we made sure Laura and Marc knew we were not happy about this…

Don't you feel sorry for me?!

Please feel sorry for me!

We got our pay back though, if they are going to give us a bath with a hose and say it was because it would cool us down then they also needed to be cooled down! :evil: *Hah!*

Pay Back!

There is one good thing though about having a bath and that is we get dried afterwards!   We absolutely love getting dried with a towel; whenever one gets picked up we run towards it and dive our head in and push and rub up against what ever poor human is holding it.  Once we are dry we get to play zoomies in the garden :)   As long as we don’t roll in the dirt *hehe*  Zoomies is one of our favourite games!!

Hmmm…Now that we think about it horrible hose water wasn’t the last thing that happened, being dried and playing zoomies in the garden was, and that’s actually a pretty good way to end the day…

:D
