A damp walk.

It's raining. It's been raining all day but we still have to go out for a walk between the showers.

Si

That time of day again.

"Wake up, Dad !"
Groan. Yes Winnie.

"Wake up Dad!"
Groan. Yes Mr Darcy.

"It's time for a walk. We need a poop."

Si

Hurry up Dad.

"Wake up Dad. It's time to go out for a walk."
Groan, OK Winnie.

You know it's raining out there, don't you?
"But I need to go out Dad, if you know what I mean."
OK.

Si

Pussy cat behind the glass.

We're out on our daily walk and suddenly Darcy lunges at a doorway.

I wonder why until I see this cat behind the glass. Look carefully and you will see it behind the dirty glass.

They play for a bit, with the cat boxing at Darcy from behind the safety of the glass.

Si

Ready for breakfast.

We're out for our morning walk and it's time for breakfast.
What do you two want?

"Bacon and bagels!"
"Me too!"
Hmmm, me too. Bagels and bacon it will be then.

Si

Ready!

Are you two ready for a walk.

"A walk?"

Yes, a walk...

"Yes Dad. Now! Ready!"

Si

Cold winter sun.

We're out for our morning walk once again. We go out every day unless it's really raining hard.

Are you alright there kiddies ?

'It's a bit chilly Dad."
Yes it is a little chilly.

"But it's nothing that some of your bacon won't fix."
Oh, really ?
"Oh yes Dad. That will keep me warm for sure."
I'll order extra bacon then.

 Si the DogBlogger.

A Winter walk.

Come on kiddies, I need a coffee and some breakfast.
"You mean lunch maybe, Dad ? It's almost midday."

Lunch than. Do you want bacon or don't you ?
"Bacon, definitely !"

You look lovely in your coat there, Daisy-Mae.
"Thanks Dad. It's very snug."

Don't pull faces Mr Darcy, or I'll make you wear a coat too.
"Sorry Dad. How's that bacon coming along ?"

OUR bacon will be here soon. Don't panic.
"Don't forget to share Dad. Sharing is good."

Right then, back home and off to see my mum. Everybody on the car.

Si the DogBlogger.

Are you sure?

"Dad, can we go for a walk?"
Yes Mr Darcy. Give me a minute to change out of my work clothes.

"Really? Now?"
Yes Mr D.

"Because it's a lovely day, Dad."
Yes, I can see.

"Can you hurry up please Dad"
Yes sir, Mr D.

Come on then. I'm ready now.

Si

Looking for bones

We often stop outside the Council depot on the grass for two reasons.

Firstly, it's a lovely piece of grass to sit on... 

and secondly, the workers must eat roast chicken a lot, and throw the bones in the grass.

"Found one !"

"Me too."

 Si the DogBlogger.

I smell possums.

"Dad! I can smell possums!"

Yes I know. They're everywhere in the park and you come to this tree every day. Use up some energy and bark at them for a bit.

Need a walk rather urgently please

"Dadddddd ..."

Yes Mr Darcy, what can I do for you ?
"Dad, I need a walk now please."

Oh, oh do you really ?
"Rather urgently please Dad."
OK, we we had better go then. Maybe to the coffee shop would be good.
"And quickly !"

 Si the DogBlogger.

I need to go outside, now...

"Daddddddd, um, I need to go outside, now !"
Is that so ?
"Um yes, rather badly in fact."

Ah, OK. Well then it must be walkies time.
"Oh, what a fine idea... and hurry..."

 Si the DogBlogger.

Afternoon stroll - then racing home for supper

We're off for an evening stroll in the Darling Gardens.
This is always a bit tricky when it's close to Daisy's supper time.

"La la la. What a lovely evening."

*rumblerumble* "Hmmm, I'm hungry now. That was my belly. Are you ready for dinner Darcy ?"
"Always, race you to the car."

"Come on Dad. Hurry ! We're hungry now."
Not much choice then is there, Daisy-Mae ?

 Si the DogBlogger.

A brief walk to Smith Reserve, then maybe a coffee...

Come on kiddies, I'm on afternoon shift, so we have time for a walk across the road.

"It's lovely out today, Dad."
Sure is Daisy.

I think I'll just sit and take the air.

Darcy has found a friend.
"Dad, we're chasing the ball. It's very exciting."

*sniff sniff pee pee*

"Scratch me please."

"Phew, I'm exhausted now Dad."

Good. Come on you two, I need a coffee.

Si the DogBlogger.

Ready - yes we're ready

Are we ready for a walk now kiddies ?
"Yes ! Ready!"

Are you sure ?
"Yes Dad. Ready and strapped in, buckled up, fired up and gassed up. Ready !"
OK then, let's go.

 Si the DogBlogger.

Looking for lights

We have taken a walk to the Abbotsford Convent for a coffee and cake and to look for lights at the potter, Porcelume.

You stay there, kiddies. We won't be long.

"Dad, I'm hungry. See if there's a treat in there for me."
Um, I don't think so Mr Darcy.
"You never know until you look, Dad. And I didn't see much of your bacon at breakfast either, just to let you know."
Ah, well it was only a small serve, you see...

Nice lights, though...

Si the DogBlogger.

A walk at last.

Poor kiddies. We are renovating and there isn't much time for walkies.

But it's a glorious day today, so out we go.

Si the DogBlogger.
