His name is Westy and he's about 2 years old, I think. He's a rescue, apparently he was in an awful state when they found him, literally a bag of bones and you couldn't see his gorgeously coloured fur coat. He is a boxer crossed with a Bull mastiff. He'll be Honey's new friend possibly.
What do you think ?

Exactly as the title says it ... elephants and more elephants ... recently accepted ones that I really like a lot.
She's been in doggy heaven for almost a year. About 14 years old. She had a metal rod in her leg with 3 clips, cause she suffered so much. We called her the bionic dog. Here are some pictures to go down in history of her. One is a video clip of her scratching her back, she was so funny. A very protective and loving dog. Not vicious but extremely alert.
Something else I forgot to mention in the previous post is that Honey was acting strangely last night, she kept trying to get my attention, scratching on the window and whining. And she never normally does that. She was obviously trying to call me cause Tiny was either dead already or had a fit or something.
Here's video of Zips scratching her back :)
She was such a good dog.
I woke up this morning to feed her and Honey Buns, and she was just laying there, so I called and eventually went over and touched her, she was dead. She was an old dog, and I knew her time was due soon. But it's still sad going into the backyard and finding death on your doorstep again. So I never went in to work today, it's a bit emotional, but I'll be ok. And it would happen that I'm feeling sick today too, with a sore throat and a nose that's just annoying me hugely.
I've put some photos up of Tiny Teensy curled up in the cat bed which she loved, and bathtime pics, and just general pics of her. I just realised that I don't have many pics of her, cause when you try to take pics, she always walks towards you. She was the first small dog that I've ever owned. And she lost her friend last year too, they were the same age. Her friend's name was Zippyzoo. Zippy was a boxer, an absolutely adorable dog. They were both about 14 years old. I'll post some pics of Zippy too.
Definitely a great day for me. *happy smile*
here's the image that did it:

One of my favourites: The other's don't show up in the search yet.
I went from 157 files to 164 overnight almost ... sooo cool. I love being exclusive, thanks Istock :)
Well, so far, so good.
I am on round 5. I made it this far. Now to finish off with something amazing, er, I hope.
Let the last round begin ...
... I really did not feel like doing anything much today. So I went to the beach to watch my niece practice Nippers (junior lifesaving), she has no fear of the sea. I got some nice pics for the family files. Then it got really hot, so I did a quick change under my towel and my sister and I went off to swim in the waves. I did some bodysurfing, but not too great, cause the waves were random and there were lots of gulleys, so as you dive into a wave, or jump over a wave, it can vary from being shoulder deep to suddenly treading water. But it was a great swim, the rip current was quite strong, so you had to be careful. I definitely want to get scuba diving again. I'm planning to convince my sister to go diving this weekend. It's been years since we passed the Padi open waters course. So we'll need a bit of refresher training, although I've been advised that a shore entry dive off one of the beaches here would be a good start back into it, so I might try that. I'll have to dust off the old dive log book again. Not much else happening here today.
Who taught you how to ride a bicycle?
My dad ran up and down the street with his hand on the back of the seat to balance me, until he slowly removed it one day without me noticing and I could balance .... hey, it's like riding a bicycle. :)
