A Black Miniature Poodle named Lily.

Introducing the latest edition to our family: Lily. She stole my heart at first glance and then promptly stood up against my legs and gave me the big "pick me up" eyes. I was a gonner from the start! I sat down and she curdled up in my lap, gave a big contented sign and went to sleep! I HAD to take her home. She choose me! That's how I believe it should be. So I coughed up my money, picked up her vet paperwork and after a cup of tea with her breeder and a chat with Lily's mum and aunty, I happily took home my new "baby".
We've had her just 2 days and she is amazing. So smart. She is house-trained, although that was already started. Has learned to use a doggy door after being shown only twice! Has learned to play fetch, and returns the object you have thrown into you lap if you sit on the floor.
I have taken her for a couple of rides in the car (with her special seat belt of course) and she had met my husband's mother and been an absolute angel. Nearly didn't get to bring her home, Ma loved her! She's so friendly towards everyone so far, just a little nervous at first (naturally being so young) but looks to me for reassurance, and then jumps in......sometimes literally....to whatever I ask of her. Will definitely have to take her to "classes" so I can learn to keep one step ahead of her!
She's adorable.

It's Baby Magpie Season

Yes it's Spring again. I know because the local magpies have 2 babies. I know this because I occasionally throw out scraps on my back lawn to supplement their food rations and they are regular visitors. This week they brought me a present.....2 babies. Must be a good season this year to be raising 2 babies instead of 1. Anyway the magpies here in Melbourne are white backed magpies as apposed to the magpies at Tocumwal in N.S.W. which are black backed magpies. Also the birds here in Melb. are larger than their northern cousins, probably all the McDonalds they eat down here! I enjoy listening to their warbling song and can't help but shake my head at the patience and persistence of the adult birds constantly being "harassed" by the chicks for food. They are noisy little critters when they are hungry and very bossy, often pecking at the adult birds for more food. I've named them....squarker 1 and squarker 2, they never seem to stop. Poor parent birds, these chicks a

Great Places To Visit To Eat in Melbourne. - Jahdomes - Mill Park

There's a lovely little French Cafe called Jahdomes off Childs Rd, Mill Park ( I think the shopping centre is called "The Stables"). if you happen to live within visiting range. Have eaten there a couple of times now with friends and found the food very good. They have a good range of breakfasts, lunches, tapas and desserts. Good coffee to. They are closed on Tuesdays, but open otherwise as far as I know. I enjoyed the Mediterranean Scrambled Egg with Turkish Bread (feta, chorizo, tomato ) and coffee for lunch today. Very good. My friend had a scrambled egg with smoked salmon and a side salad instead of Turkish Bread, which they were happy to do, and she enjoyed that as well, and washed it down with a Chi Latte with spice. Breakfasts can be ordered up to 3.00pm so if your like us and like your eggs, you can have them for lunch!

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like.

BIG variety for good old schnitzels, salads & chips to take-a-way favorites, great Coffee & Cakes and Bakery delights to tempt the taste buds!! If you're an Artist or Photographer then Toc is a plethora of diverse landscapes to draw (pun intended) your attention. I for one have never tired of its beauty.
