WHO'S A SQUIRREL THEN?

Coco has this weird need to hide her biscuits around the house...

ABOVE:  she does this EVERY DAY.... and has been doing it for months.  Do you think she is worried we might not feed her some day?
We find her biscuits ALL OVER the house... in corners of rooms, under pillows on beds, but mostly we find them in the corners of the lounge suite seats.

More darling photos of our puppies:

ABOVE:  yesterday was the first time I took all the puppies out of the whelping box so I could change their bedding.  Coco jumped in the basket with them!  I had to lift her out so she didn't squash them.   She was not a happy Mummy dog while they were in the basket.

ABOVE:  Lacy helped me change the bedding, and here she is returning the last puppy to the pile.. with Coco making sure they are all OK after her ordeal!
She was so worried about them.

ABOVE:   our gorgeous babies... and a happy Mummy Coco.

ABOVE:  Steve took this photo of Keera in the car yesterday while we waiting for Lacy to get some groceries.  Isn't she just gorgeous!  Little monkey smiles and 'talks' now.

TODAY:  I've got a visitor coming!  Penny, who has a private blog, lives in inner city Auckland.  We have never met in person, so today is going to be one of those days where I meet someone I know, but don't know!  
She's coming out on the train, so after Brylee has been seen by the orthodontist, we are going to pick Penny up from the train station.

ONWARD...

JEANIE:  Teddy would rather STARVE than eat those TUX dog biscuits!  Coco only eats them when there is nothing else on offer.  Right now she is being fed puppy pellets and dog roll as she needs masses more nutrients to feed her pups.  The biscuits are her 'back up' ... lol.

*Waves*  I'm back from 'visiting' with Penny!  We got on like a house on fire... talk about yak! I think we yakked for 3 hours solid.  It was really nice to visit with a girl who 'knew' me via the blogging community and who  got on with me so well in person too.
I always worry that when someone meets me 'in person' they won't actually like me.  Silly I suppose, cos if they don't like 'me' on the blog, they sure aren't gunna like me in person!  I'm an open book!    And I call a spade a spade.  lol

ABOVE:  Teddy made her feel welcome by sleeping beside her.  (in fact he just wanted to lie on my blankie!) lol

ABOVE:  Penny and I.  Griffin took the photos, so they are a bit blurry.  At least this time I remembered to get a photo or two!

Once we deposited Penny back at the train station we came home to find Stew home early from work, which was lovely.  He can help get dinner cooked!  Ha ha ha.

I made beef/bacon/tomato pies for dinner tonight... pastry top AND bottom Penny!  lol
Everyone loves me pies... I just wish they were less labour intensive to make.  I only made them tonight because Bex was due at dinner time and Steve said she always misses out on pies!  So.. she didn't miss out tonight.

I'm NICE eh?  *smiles*

End of day:  I've had a lovely day, and now I'm going to have a quiet, lazy evening.
Tomorrow I plan on reading blogs all morning!  Time to catch up seriously!
