Was kibble! I knew it was for me!!! The nose ALWAYS knows!!

Is for me, is for me, I'm SURE of it!!!

Arvo lays on the floor beside his bed, back paws resting on the edge of the bed

So difficult to stay in bed sometimes!

Oh you should, it is so lovely! Especially the coast!!!

Arvo sits happily on a bench, looking at the ocean

So nice that they put all these benches here just for doggies!!!

Arvo eagerly eats a very light dusting of snow

Oh my dog, SNOW! I haven't seen snow in a year!!!!

Nom nom nom... ❄️❄️❄️😋😋😋❄️❄️❄️

Arvo sits on a picnic table overlooking the ocean

Happy New Year, frens!!!!

Arvo sleeps on a couch, his head resting on a large book

Nothing like spending the afternoon curled up with a good book!!!

It was!!! Sunny and cool, perfect for a thick-furred doggo!

Is ALWAYS a good day for ballee!!!

Dogs getting Christmas GIFTS

The hoos lived in Aus once, but that was before I was born - it was the inspiration for my name though!

The first two pics are from where we used to live - the US South! Winters aren't near cold enough for snow, but cool & dry.
Third pic was where we lived briefly last year - US Rockies! Warm one day, snowy the next!
This year we are in Wales - cool & wet, just how thick-furred doggies like it!

No I don't believe you, it MUST still be there!!! #dogs #terriers #persistence

But hoodad, I wanna kill it MORE!!!!

#dogsofbluesky #dogs #xmas

Arvo's first Xmas; puppy-Arvo sits in a sleigh in a field of dry brown grass

Arvo's second Xmas; Arvo sits near a fake white tree in a field of dry brown grass

Arvo's third Xmas; Arvo stands in a small patch of snow, red rocks visible behind him

This Xmas; Arvo stands on the coastal path overlooking the bay, with lush green grass around him

Merry Christmas Bobby!

My hoos have fond memories of summery Aussie xmases! I never got to see 'em because I didn't exist yet when they lived there!!!

Still - I only ever saw one 'white xmas', and it wasn't very much white! This year was chilly but green!!!

I was VERY proud of myself!!!!

The fox has a gaping hole in it. That was the goal, right?

Dedded already. Record time!!!!

Definitely a Lakie - Kennel Club registered and everything!

Just a bit floofy at the moment 🤭

C'mon, hoomum, keep up!!!

A Christmas miracle - Arvo finally caught a fox!!! A stuffed squeaky toy fox in a Santa hat, but still.

Oh boy, a fuzzy #Christmas fox!!!

#dogsky #dogs #merrychristmas

Oh, yes! The hoos even let me open it myself, which was OBVIOUSLY the best part!!!

Merry Christmas, every buddy!!!
