Rory's 4th Birthday

Howdy Everybuddy, today is my little brother's birthday.  He is 4 years old and even though he is big I still have to take care of him.   I make sure he exercises his legs by running  ahead of him and making him chase me.  We roll around on the floor playing bitey face when he needs a rest.  I watch his food intake very carefully and he never leaves a thing in his bowl so I must be doing a good job.  

We love this big fella so much.  He never complains about anything.  Well he does bark like a nut job whenever anyone comes to our house but hey, no one is perfect, hehe.  He's just a great big doofus that we love with all our hearts.  This is one of mum's favourite photos of them together. 

Here he is after having a stroll at the oval.

  So Happy Birthday Rory.  

We love ya to bits and pieces big fella.

These photos are before Rory's embolism when we would go walking together.  They are my favourites. 

So mates, you know what this means.

Cake all around.  Feel free to help yourself.

No worries and love, Stella

and slobbery love, Rory
 

 

Howdy Mates and a video!

We've been busy lately, as has everybuddy.  We had our brother's birthday, our mum's birthday and our sissy's birthday.  Whew!  That was a lot of cake eaten. 

Hey mum, have your jeans shrunk? hehehe.

This cake was made by our sissy Lisa.  For many years our angel Poppa always made the family birthday cakes but now our sissy makes them.  She always makes fabulous cakes!!

Tyler (our cousin) went on a holiday to Beachport with our two sissys and had a ball.  He loved the water and they had a wonderful time.
 

Our sissy said the jetty in Beachport is about 772 metres long

and is the second longest one in South Australia. 

We have received 30 Christmas cards and 11 e mail cards (yaahooooo)!   Mum and Dad have received 2, BUTT, they said "Mum and Dad AND FAMILY", so we are taking half of them so that means their count is ............ 1, ahahahahahaha.  We will post a photo soon.  Thanks to everybuddy, our Postie must be wondering what the heck is going on.

To finish off here are a couple of short videos for your amusement.  See ya soon mates.

No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

 

Paul, Nana, Shopping, Sleeping and Dean Martin

Howdy Everybuddy, sorry we're late but Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends who celebrate it.   We've had a quiet week.  This Thursday it was our brother Paul's birthday.  Mum says how can he be 26 when she's not much older than that herself.  WTH, mum have you looked in the mirror lately??  On the same day it was also three years since our Nana passed away.

Mum remembers this day as one filled with memories of the day her son was born and also the love of  a wonderful, sweet and beautiful mother.  

Our Nana loved her grandchildren very much and they loved her too.  She is missed everyday.  This is a photo of our brother Paul with Nana when he was two weeks old.

 

So, on this day we celebrated our brother's special day, went out for tea and had some yummy cake.  Well everybuddy else had some, we missed out!  Totally unfair.  

 Another thing about our Nana is that she absolutely LOVED christmas.  She always wore her christmas hat and loved this singing Father Christmas.  

Yesterday mum was trying to get some Christmas shopping done.  She was useless.  No presents but she did come home with this magnet!  She saw it in a bookshop and just had to buy it. 

We bigified it so you can read the words.

So mates, that's what this week held for us.  Mum says it's so nice having lazy sleepy dogs. 

That's it for now.  We'll leave you with Nana's favourite singer.  Mum says she reckons Nana was a little bit in love

 with Dean Martin.  

 See ya soon.

No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella

 

 

 

PRIZES AND TYLER'S 3RD BIRTHDAY

Howdy Everybuddy, we were lucky enough to win some prizes when two of our mates had competitions.

The first was from Dougall and Floyd.  We had to guess Dougall's weight.  If you don't know Dougall and Floyd pop on over and say hello.  They are Aussie's too!

A tiger.  Yay our local footy club is called the Tigers.

Mmmmm, Roo bites.  They were totally yummy.

Butt, first we had to get stuck into the chewy.

Mum cut it into half.  We have to share.

Triple tug action.

A few days later, the Postman, who loves us dearly cause we always let mum know he is here, hehehe, brought another parcel.

 This was from our mate Garth Riley who lives in Richmond, Virginia, for his Silly Photo contest. These gifts were handmade by Garth's mum and they are amazing.  We will hang them with pride on our Christmas tree. 

For those of you who haven't seen it,

this is my silly photo.  I am relaxing at football.  I was sound asleep meditating for maximum enjoyment.

Howdy Mates.  Rory here.  Another special occasion today is

TYLER'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!!

He's our sissy's dog and he comes to visit a lot and 

we love him heaps

Happy Birthday Tyler.

 He gets to come walking with us when his mum is away working.

He has always looked after us, 

especially when we were just little pups.

It could be a tiring job!

 Partners in crime, hehehe.

That's all for now folks.

Enjoy your weekend.

No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella

 

Rory, it's ya Birthday!

Hi Everybuddy, today it's my birthday.  I'm one year old already.  Mum says that can't be true cause it seems like only yesterday they brought me home.  Anyhoo, mum got all sooky and picks out 87 photos to show you BUTT I said that was heaps too much and this is what she came up with.  


I know, I know, I was a cute fella.  Kinda chubby, big knobby knees and a wrinkly nose.  Weighed in at 9.5 kgs (18.7 lbs) at 8 1/2 weeks old.  Nowaday I'm more like 75 kgs (165 lbs) and taller than our kitchen benchtops hehe, which makes for some fun times.

Life is good mates.  I have a family who love me, a sissy who likes to boss me and friends who visit me from all around the world.  It can't get any better than that!  

  Get ready to squeeeee!!  

First day home.

My new sissy, Stella.

Mum wanted to re-enact this photo, hehehe.

 

 

Still smaller than my cousin Tyler.

 

 

 

Not much to see after my Tutoring!

I'm passionate about the Adelaide Crows!

No, I'm not standing on a box!

Thanks mates for stopping by. 

 Can you ask your mum or dad if they can give you a special

treat cause it's my birthday.  Tell them it's compulsory, hehe.

As always,

No worries, and slobber, Rory
