How's it goin' mates? We had a real bonzer of a walk on Sunday arvo - we were at Beacon Hill; the sun was out, hardly a cloud in the sky, and there were some pretty spiffy blokes around (more about them in a bit).

When we arrived Jasper's dad came over and grabbed Troy and Macca to look after him, Kai went off with a lady called Helen ('parrently Kai looks a bit like a dog that used to look after her and her puppies), and I paired up with a lady who's puppies were being walked by the spiffy blokes - there's method in the madness possums.

Bit later on Monty went to look after Brenda seeing as Caleb was off doing his own thing.

Before we set off Rosie and Lola got cranky with each other - don't know what about but dad and Phil (Lola's human) put a stop to it; good job too, they sounded like a couple of hoons. Next thing though, they are standing there like best buddies.

The wander through the woods was nice and cool; the walk up the hill wasn't and we all stopped for a breather one the way, including our mate Sol who usually doesn't stop for anything.

Caleb was the most energetic of everyone - he made it to the top first.

At the top there was a nice breeze and you couldn't have asked for a nicer day. We all had a drink - our throats were as dry as a Pommie's towel - and some tried blagging ice cream.


We love you

Aunty Alison (Sol's human) came up with a stonker of a name for Troy and Mack - The Bookend Boys; this pic says it all.


The Bookend Boys

Thing is, I'd found my own bookend boys; Frop and Hector.


Me with Frop and Hector - My Bookend Boys

Paws up girls, who'd like to share a kennel with either, or both, of these two? I'm roachin'. Not only did they look the business in their matching tuxes and white socks, but they were perfect gentlemen (more's the pity!!). This was their first White Lodge walk, hopefully not their last, and guess who I'm walking with.

One of the other things we like to do is when we find a human that's got the same name as us is get our pic taken with them. I had mine taken with Lucy at Salcey last year, Jack had his a while back, and Kai had his last time we were here. Today it was Rosie's turn. So here's Rosie and, err, Rosie. The human Rosie is Helen's (the lady Kai looked after) puppy.

And here is a pic of loads of us.


At the Summit

All too soon it was time to head down the hill and back to the BeastBus. We had an absolute bonzer of a day. It was great as always to see our mates, and it's always ripper to meet new ones - 'specially when they are like Frop and Hector!!

Next up for us is the Greyhound Gap show in Walsall on the 25th. Hopefully see you there. 'Ooroo.
