Waiting for cheese.

We're at Loafer Bread for breakfast again, sharing a ham and cheese baguette.

"More cheese please, Dad."
Yes my girl. Coming up.

Good morning, Dad.

"Wake up, Dad. It's time for a walk."

Hello Winnie. Groan, OK. Give me a minute.

End of another big day.

We've had a big day out.
Now it's time for a nap before dinner.

We're down at the Tin Pot cafe for breakfast this morning.
I like a toasted bagel with a double serve of bacon please.

Here we go... Bacon for you...

And bacon for you...

Trying to put my shoes on.

This is my morning routine with my new rescued dog Winnie.
I'm trying to put my shoes on, but Winnie is nipping playfully at my fingers, pulling my socks out of my hands, and slithering like an eel around my feet.

It's very funny and it's something I look forward to because I know it will make me laugh.

Ow, don't bite my toes !

Greeting dad after a late shift.

I've just come home from my late shift. Winnie has come down the stairs to greet me.
Hello girl.

"Hello Dad. Carry me back up to bed now."
OK. Come on then you big lump.

Winnie helping her Dad in the garden.

Winnie is helping me in the garden. Hello my girl.

"Hello Dad."

Nice of you to help there, Winnie.

"No problem, Dad. Just don't step on my toes again."

Well you do get under my feet.

Mr Darcy is enjoying the sun.

Loafer Bread.

We're sitting outside Loafer Bread, sharing a BLT sandwich for breakfast. They make the most divine bread here, and wonderful pastries.

Everywhere with their Dad.

Lovely kiddies. They come everywhere with their Dad.

Hello Mr Darcy. Hello Winnie.

"Hello Dad. We're minding the car for you."

Stitches out today.

I'm taking Winnie to the vet at the Lost Dogs Home to take her stitches out and clip her nails and have her C3 injection.

Come on you two, in the car.

Good girl. 

Here we are at the Lost Dogs Home. Time for injections.

Stitches out and injection done and time to go home.

Si

I'm off to work.

Bye bye kiddies. I have to go to work now.

Don't look so sad, Winnie. I'll be home soon.

Be good. Don't make a mess.

Relaxing in the park.

It's Sunday today. We've cleaned the house and now it's time to relax in the park for a bit.

Alright there, kiddies ?

"Lovely thanks Dad."

Winnie's first trip to the beach.

It's a quiet and cold Saturday at Port Melbourne beach.

This is Winnie's first trip to the beach with us.

Darcy is showing her how it's done. He's been chasing sticks in the sea and rolling in stinky things.

Poor Winnie is afraid to get her toes wet.

Si

Grub Food Van.

We're all having breakfast up at the Grub Food Van this morning.

This lovely cafe is dog friendly and has sensational food and cakes.

We're sitting in the large courtyard at the front.

Hello Winnie, you'll get some of my bacon in a minute.

"Oooh, lovely."

You too, Mr Darcy. Just wait.

"OK Dad..... waiting......"

Si

End of another day.

It's the end of another big day. Time for bed for tired dogs.

Winnie is a funny thing, she often sleeps on her back like this.

Si

Adopting Winnie. Fitzroy cafes.

Day eight or nine I think, of adopting Winnie.
Today we're doing an introduction to the Fitzroy cafe scene. 

We're having coffee and fruit buns at Ici Cafe.

The kiddies having been enjoying my bun and seemed to have had more of it then I have !

Si

Not bored while I'm at work

Laura and I are both on late shift and we were worried the kiddies might be bored while we're at work.

By the look of the toys scattered around the house, I think they kept themselves entertained.

Winnie, put your toys away ! It's time for bed now.

"No way Dad. I'm having such fun playing with all Darcy's toys."

Hello Mr Darcy. It's good of you to share your toys with Winnie.

"No problemo, Dad."

"Come on Winnie, let's race around the house again !"

No ! My floorboards !

Si

Winnie and Darcy relaxing in the park.

This is our second big walk today.
Now we're just resting in the shade. It's a hot day here in Melbourne.

Hello Winnie.

"Hello Dad. I like it here in this park."

Si

Day seven with Winnie

Here we are at the park on day seven with Winnie, our new rescue mutt.
She's such a good girl and she loves attention.

"Hello Dad."

Lovely girl, come her and I'll scratch your belly.
