They speak English - with an accent!

Dear friends!

They say "Welcome to Australia - and my apologies that you have to spend time in a quarantine kennel, but them is the rules, and your Mum and folk were so brave to accept!
"And you arrived on the last hot day for this bad summer we have had too -- but now the weather is more like our autumn so you will be more comfortable. The fellow 'in-mates' are certainly happy, talking dogs, don't worry, your new friend Judge has a lot to say most times too!"


This video shows me on the 'lawn' exercise area for the first time - but we discovered a problem. Of course first Jan and I had a big play and a bit of a brush, then she decided to get the camera out and throw the soft toy I tell her I love so much - but Jan throws and uses the camera with the same arm -- one day I may have to retrieve a bounced video camera! Jan's 'helper' in the film won't use the camera, and just loves to stand and admire me rather than play with the toys, so isn't really a helper, but still great fun (for my ego)!



I caught Jan saying "You are such a beautiful Clumber, sound with type, a good coat and a superb temperament - let's hope the girls at Erinveine get organized and we can enjoy some puppies in a little while. Your show career will start in very late May. Thank you for coming to Australia!" - well that is my translation, they have a dreadful accent on their English downunder!

... and another one!

Heres some more...



I´m feeling better now...

I have arrived down under...

This is the first film from my tour. I still have a little jetlag and I´m a little sad to have left home... miss you.

But I got some toys...

I´m on my way - again!

Now, finally, after lots of paperwork for my mum, I´m on my way. On my way "on tour again". It´s sad to leave all my friends. And it will be a long journey down under. Australia is the name of the country and Jan Irving will be my "new" mum for a couple of months. I´ll guess I´ll be a little sad for a while, but very soon my tail is wagging again...

Love you all back home, especially mum (don´t cry now, I´ll be blogging with a little help from Jan, I hope...)
