Busy canines...

The Massie Lodge Canines in the back of the ute, down the back paddock.

Winter ..

Is still here at Massie Lodge and the Massie Lodge canines are keeping nice and warm.

Not just like the Pikey-man who has a tartan scarf to keep him warm but most of the dogs dont venture too far away from the fire. Notwithstanding that there is a bed in front of the fire for them, or they have their own doona on the lounge that they can snuggle down into.

Spoilt? Yes, absolutely!

Bessie Merle has certainly had a quiet weekend after challenging Matilda for the top spot on Friday night. I dont know what started it, we're thinking that it could of been a row over a bone, but Bessie Merle being the broodbitch certainly thinks that the time is right and that she should be the leader of the pack.

Matilda, aka Her Majesty, still rules the roost here at Massie Lodge and came out of the scrap with her dignity and her leadership in tack. Bessie Merle, unfortunately suffered from some lesions to her inner ear - thankfully not serious however we called Monika in on Saturday to give her the once over, clean her ear and to put her on some antibiotics.

Matilda is one tough cookie and even at 10 with a bit of athritis to her joints is still Queen of all she Surveys.

The Secret Life of Us

Ever wondered where the Massie Lodge Dogs sleep? Dont be surprised, dont be shocked ... they sleep with us down by the side of our bed. Pikey, Doc, Ruby and Bessie Merle on my side and Madam Matilda has her own bed on Evan's side.

Yes, they have their own Doona and Blanket - and no, they're not spoilt!! (not much anyway!)
