Found this photo when I was going through my Picasa album. Must have planned a Luau that never took place back in 2008, what a year that was! I miss you terribly, my darling dog!

Hello everyone from the United Kingdom of Great Rain and Northern Coldland! Yes, I left Summer on Sydney's wonderful harbour and landed smack in middle of the Oxfordshire Autumn, beautiful though it is!
Lovey is enjoying her new home full of four kids, fifteen rabbits and, yes, count them, forty guinea pigs! They have a farm and an enclosed pen full of clover in which to frolic and play, and get loads of fresh crunchy veggies to eat - yum!


It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Yes, bunny love is pretty good - and this furry blog has lots of it: check out Our Fuzzy Family!
The human was trying to film me cleaning my face in that cute bunny way, but I'm a bit camera shy, so every time the camera came out, I stopped doing cute things and sat there relatively still and boring, or else turned my bum to the camera!
The human tried to take some vids of me running around, but I was too fast and they turned out badly! The ones of me eating were just boring, so I'm posting a picture of Charlie, who is going overseas with the household move.
You will all excuse me for not writing for a while. Some of my humans went on a trip and took the compyooter with them, and the one that stayed behind to give me veggies to eat hogged the remaining two laptops, though even if he hadn't they are in such a state that I would not have been able to use them anyway, besides, I have a lot of chewing to get through every day, so I can't possibly devote any more of my limited brain capacity to figuring out PCs!

I didn't chew any cords today, but lots of carrots and lettuce and rabbit food, oh and I got really bored so I gnawed my house, too. It was cold so I got to play inside. We were glad to hear that Asta is back on the aether and hope her humans are feeling better about everything.
Just a treat for us smaller animals: have a look at what this guy did!
Hello animals everywhere! This is Fierce Bad Rabbit - actually I'm not fierce at all, I'm rather a wuss and I let kids drag me around all day and play with me and give me rides and sleep with me and handle me and my name is Lovey! -But a rabbit can dream, sometimes.
I will be taking over Charlie's DogBlog for a short time as those of us who knew and loved (yes, I was one who loved having my fur tousled by a wet dog nose and snuggling up to a warm dog on the carpet) Charlie have missed being part of the animal blogging world and visiting all of our friends. While Charlie's family is getting ready for the big move to Oxford, I will revive the old dog blog and get it ready for the arrival of a new animal some time in the near future in England. Being an Australian Rabbit, I will be staying here - let's be honest: I don't exactly jump at the idea of a 24-hour plane trip.... carrots, now there's something I'll jump at! ...and grass and fruit and just for the sake of jumping, but not for plane rides, so I'll be staying here with a new loving family who will feed me and play with me.
In the meantime, don't forget to tell your friends if I don't get around quickly enough, that Charlie's DogBlog is on the air, and don't forget to stop by the First Ever All Animal Lyric Writing Bee, as I have kept it going uninterrupted.
I will lend to you for a while, a Shetland sheepdog pup, God said, for you to love while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three. But will you, until I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief,
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth return,
but there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
and from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give all your love, nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I take my Shetland sheepdog back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done.
For all the joys this Shetland sheepdog will bring, the risk of grief we will run.
“We will shelter him with tenderness, we will love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try and understand.
“If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve, in memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful fluffy bundle departs this world of strife,
We will have another Sheltie and love him all his life.
