ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Must be about as quiet as I've seen the site for ages everyone must be out Christmas shopping and Heathers run out of credit for the month. Marty must be at the pub researching and the other Marty must be getting ready for the Cyclone season.


Hows that for a bit of talking to yourself, I reckon it is ok because I'm only home cause i was to lazy to get up and go to the Christmas Markets.

Ah well i will just have to go back to playing computor pool or do my washing ???


Bob

well I've been busy with my Mum here for a few weeks and a new little mate found on my doorstep this morning.

I have named him Roustie because I have spent most of today, cutting dags and matts off him, and picking us as much wool as you would get from a decent size sheep almost. A a lot of patience and cajoling needed because he was very scared and frightened, but not a growl from him. Then a bath and de flea - ing he was full of them and have set him up in a kennel under the front verandah.

Can't let him into the yard as yet because Princess Elly will possibly do him like a dinner and he doesn't weigh 6 kilos wringing wet.

Of to the vet tomorrow to see if he is microchipped and have listed him on all the doggy web sites....if no success I guess the girls have got a new brother.

Maureen you really are a sucker, says Bob who now has a baby Parrot to look after.


Bob or Boob as Zondrae calls me.


GET it Boob I'm a sucker too.

Good result my Roustie aka Simio was microchipped and has now been reunited with his own family

What was the story Maureen ? How long was he lost. Did they appreciate the new haircut ?


Bob

Nice to see a happy ending.

Obviously the dog knew the right place to visit.......It must have been the smell of contentment from the other two.

Turned out he only lived two streets away and apparently the little bloke was getting out while they were at work but sneaking back home just before they did . Then this nasty lady came along, gave him a bath and a haircut, threw flea powder all over him, bribed him with liver and bacon and then tied him up next to a kennel with a nice soft blankie in it and told him to be a good boy.

He didn't mind his hair cut bob and never a peep out of him while I did it but they are taking hi to the professional groomers on Wednesday. They are also going to check all their fences but have asked me to keep their contact number because they reckon if he gets out again he will be back here like a rat up a drainpipe

Sometimes one should just mind their own business

Will teach them to look after him better, Maureens dog minding and grooming service mmmmmm


Sounds ok to me and I need a haircut as well, not sure about the tying up bit though


Alls well that ends well.


Bob

Hey just a thought does anyone put up Christmas lights ? would be great to see some posted on the site ?


Bob

I reckon he'll be back Maureen.
