I have had Winnie here for just over a month. I thought I'd never get used to her sneaking attention from my humans but I'm much more secure now.
She'd look at them with her little fluffy dog eyes, lift a paw and wiggle it, and lure one of them to bend down to scratch her head or rub her belly. What's a dog to do but race over and thrust myself between them, so they wouldn't mistake her place in this pack. I feel much more confident of the pack now, and just amble over to put myself between them.
In the morning when my pack people go to work, they take me around the side and give me a nice big marrow bone. However, they give a smaller bone to Winnie at the other end of the patio. Like I wouldn't notice. We usually wait until they drive away, then we swap back and forth most of the time. I'm normally great at sharing, but in the early days of her stay, I started hoarding 'em. I'd burry them and dig them back up when they were nice and old. I'm much more relaxed now, and back to eating them fresh and sharing with her.
My humans put up a garden and covered it in netting to keep the wallabies out. Julie goes down every now and then and raises the net on one side to pull a bunch of things out. I've seen her do it lots of times, and wondered what she was doing - so I went to the other side, and with one flick of my nose, lifted the net shoved my head in for a look and a nibble. I'm not sure why she looked so surprised.
It was my laundry day today so I was banished from my couch for most of the day while all my blankets got washed. Then I had to have a big bath 'cause all the rain has made it very muddy where we go to chase the ball around. Laundry day also means bath day. But Julie and I hung around together while Graham worked. Julie, Winnie and I went for lots of walks, kicked the soccer ball around, and went to the oval to chase the ball around. I'm pooped.
