Mates, this is the face of abandonment.
Yes, it's true, our mum left us.
For ages and ages.
Three whole days of no mum, sob, sniff, sniff, sob.
Stellie's face was smiling until she realised it was her last walk before mum abandoned us.
Then she did this for the next three days.
This face is not sobbing or sniffing.
This face is smiling and having a grand old time.
Notice the bags of shopping???
Mum galavanted around Melbourne with our sissy Laura, looking at stuffs like this (the view outside her window).
and this (the Melbourne Aquarium)
While we did more of this.
Our cousin Tyler was staying over the weekend mum abandoned us while his mum worked on the Ghan train. Tyer is a full sized labrador, so you can see how big I am next to him.
Yes, mum and sissy shopped till they dropped and then they ate. Muffins, cake and anything else they could lay their greedy little hands on. Sigh.
Anyhoo, she is back. We've made her pay mates, oh yes. Early morning wake up calls, heaps of slobbery drool rubbed all over her, fighting for her attention. Ha, yes, we've done it all.
Only problem is, she loved it.
Said she missed us sooooo much and well, we've forgiven her.
We love her too.
She had a wonderful time with sissy and we're actually glad.
Nothing like a weekend away to recharge the batteries and mum is full of energy now. Well, sort of. She's still lazy but hey, who are we to talk, bwahahaha.
Have a grreat weekend mates.
Here in our part of Oz it's bloomin' cold, wet and windy, so we're going to spend it snuggled indoors.
No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella
Hope she has enough energy to take you on LONG walks this ANZAC weekend! (And you didn't mention treats. Did she bring you any?)
ReplyDeleteWe hope she returned with some yummy treats for you:0 We are happy she had such a good time. Mother/daughter time is always good.

ReplyDeleteOMD - that is like a whole month in dog years.... (?).... anyhoo. Long. 87 days maybe.... Butt it was really good your mum got a break and you do so much more appreciate her now donchya??? Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I guess it's ok if our mums leave us every once in a while, for a short period, so long as they are appropriately remorseful upon their return, and remember that we will be needing treats to make up for the abandonment.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Noooo! We can't believe it! If it weren't for the photos we'd think you were pulling our tails! Well, we're glad that she is back and paying for it.
ReplyDeleteHave a pawsome weekend,
Wally & Sammy
OMD we had no idea your mum would leave you fur like FUREVER this way. We are sure that she is very embarrassed about this abandonment... She DID bring you treats, DIDN'T She?????
ReplyDeleteOMD Rory... you make Tyler look Little like a Dachshund...
Glad that your Mum is Back and all is right with your world NOW.
NO WORRIES Mate
GUILT her with big eyes, and kisses, we cannot believe how big you are Rory compared to Tyler, he looks like a baby puppy laying there, you are just so majestic....maybe you should contact a movie maker and become a star!!! oh you are already OUR STAR!!!
ReplyDeletestella rose
Bummer that you didn't get to go with her. You sure would have had fun!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
I think she went away just so you guys would appreciate her more! And sometimes Laura needs a little attention, too. It's cold here, too; it even snowed a bit yesterday! Bah! Humbug! Stay warm, you guys, and remind Mum why she loves to be home with you.
ReplyDeletexoxo Marjie
I hope you got some great treats as a present!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your Mum had a great time away but hope she brought you back some treats to make up for the abandonment BOL Stay snug and enjoy being back together again - woofs and licks from Magic xx
ReplyDeleteWow, how did you let your Mom get away? We always try to stay right under Mom's feet so she can't leave. She's a tricky one tho, she throws a treat across the room and when we run for it, she makes a mad dash for the door. Guess we too are not so good at keeping her home all the time!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad she had a wonderful time away butt she knows "there's no place like home!"
Hugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
Ohh Nose! Mom is gone! She does look like she is having fun and I bet she can't wait to see you away.

I could see your suffering in those photos! I hope that you punished her really well for leaving you!
ReplyDeleteRory, you are HUGE compared to a Lab. Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your mom had such a great few days (although I worried that those jaws were going to snarf her in one photo). I'm also glad that she's back and all is forgiven. Love conquers everything!
Happy Sunday! It's cold here too so you're not alone.
Stella and Rory one burning question comes to my mind.....did your mum follow the letter of the law written in the Mum to pups handbook?
ReplyDelete#1 rule: must ask for prior approval at least one month in advance!!
If not, there must be more slobbering and more wee hour wee wake up calls.
Hugs madi your bfff
PS thank you for the info on the trains we will be reading about them on the interwebs today
Hugs madi your bfffff
