Bobby the Airedale

I’m a young Airedale Terrier living my best life in Australia. I’m trying to train my Hoomans - they’re showing promise but it’ll take time. I have a Master’s degree in naughtiness. 😈
Guess what?

I’ve been watching some wild ducks who seem to think it’s OK for them to graze the grass right beside our back fence! 😳 They obviously don’t realise that I’m a roughty toughty terrier who could do anything at any time! 😈😉

It looks like there’s not much for my kangaroo pals to eat here, but there is a little greenery down near the roots. 👍

The sky over Mt Disappointment just after sunrise this morning, an hour or so before the cool change came through. In the foreground you can see Lake Grenville (really just a small dam). It’s sooo nice to have cooler weather now. 😎

Such a relief to have Monkey back with me. He’s been in intensive care, awaiting surgery, cos his tummy split open. I don’t know anything about how that happened … nothing at all. 😇

Happy Australia Day to all my Aussie-based pals. Hope you’re having a great day that involves a lot of snossige eating. 🇦🇺 😋
It’s a hot day here, but not too hot for a quick romp around the backyard to celebrate HooMum getting home after a day out. 🥵

Hi pals and happy Sunday! 👋
It’s much (10°C) cooler today so I’m enjoying some backyard time and making sure those pesky magpies don’t try and take over my yard.
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend and keeping warm / cool as suits your current weather. Stay safe.

It’s too hot to go outside and play at the moment, so I’m keeping myself amused with my Christmas present bone. Thanks again @sushi95.bsky.social and @misheleneous.bsky.social

Today we went for an early walk - it is forecast to reach about 40°C today. 🥵 I predict that I’ll be spending a lot of time in my pool this afternoon. 💦
Hope you all have a great weekend.

On a hot day there’s nothing I like more than putting my paws and tummy over the floor airconditioner vents and having the cool air flow over my skin. That, and dunking for ice cubes 🧊 in my water bowl, really cools me down. 😎
Hope you’re all well pals.

We have guests staying and the Hoos are busy ‘entertaining’ so I’ve got no PA help on BlueSky atm. 🙄 Just wanted to send through this morning’s kangaroo photos from my early walk. HooMum will be back to usual duties Thursday.
Have a great day pal - luffs ya

Monkey and I have had a hard day of running, shaking and squeaking. Now Monkey wants to play hide and seek - he says cover my eyes and he’ll go and hide, but I’m a bit suspicious. 🤨 Do you think he’s just trying to escape from me?

Hi pals - hope you’ve had or are about to have a great Thursday! 😄
I’ve been trying to work out the fur-equivalent pose of ‘The Thinker’ statue by Rodin. I’ve worked out that my paws don’t turn in the right direction, but it was worth a try, right?
Stay safe pals

Hey pals - we saw these kangaroos hopping down the street this morning. Mum-aroo has a baby in her pouch (see head and tail sticking out 😌) and Teenager-aroo was hopping along very quickly behind them.

My pal Jack @lizandairedales.bsky.social sent me a Nerf Dog frisbee for Christmas. 🎉😁 It’s so much fun to play with (except when HooMum throws it over the fence 🙄). Makes me wonder whether I should give it back to her for more throws?
Thanks so much Jack and Liz.

Oh no - my plans for becoming world beard dribbling champion are ruined! I had my summer furcut yesterday. HooMum said ‘make it short, he’s really been feeling the heat’, and the groomer did and now I have almost no beard left! 😡 It’s almost impossible for me to maximize dribbleage now.

Hi and happy Saturday pals.
I’m happy to report that although it was a hot & horribly windy day, with fires closer to our valley than we’d like, my kangaroo pals & my Hoos and our neighbours are all OK. The fire didn’t get us. 😅 Thanks for all the concerned messages - you’re lovely friends. Bob

Hi pals 👋 happy Friday!
As you know we live in the country. Today our area is rated at ‘Catastrophic Fire Danger’ so we won’t be posting / replying - we’ll be preparing incase we need to evacuate, and paying close attention to updates on the Vic Emergency app.
We’re safe for now. 🤞

My water bowl today. Thanks for the ice cubes HooMum - it’s a lot of fun getting them out and eating them. 🧊🧊🧊 Kind of like a hot day dog version of bobbing for apples.

It was so hot when we walked this morning (25°C @ 6:15am) that the kangaroos weren’t out. We met this cockatoo though - he had a lot to say about hot weather.
Had a bit of play time with Spike the spider when I got home.
Hope you have a great day.

I’m recovering from my early morning walk - it was 23°C at 6:00am 🥵 We bumped into some kangaroos in a neighbour’s front yard. The one on the right is an adult male (v big) and if you zoom in, you can see a juvenile peeping out from behind him.
