My trip to see the Flowers in Langebaan

Hello everyone! Guess where we went today!? You gotta believe it...



... to see the flowers in Langebaan. Jippeee!



The west coast of Southern Africa becomes a floral paradise towards the end of our South African winter. Doggies from all over the world come here for endless sniffing and playing.



There are so many flowers this time of year, we dont know where to sniff.



Boogie and I were not too sure where to start sniffing.










There are also lots of mousie holes around here...



eh... just a mo, I think I found something here.



Lets go to the water Boogie?





The Langebaan lagoon is declared a nature sanctury. Mom sez this is where she comes often during the windy summers. I look forward to coming back here then.



That seagul swims way faster than we thought :-(



"Not to worry, Normie. You will be able to chase many more in time to come, believe me"








After a long hard day of sniffing, swimming and playing, we eventually get back into the car and take the hour drive back to Cape Town.



So much action in one day justifies a nice long nap in the car on the way home.



What a day! I cant wait to come back here again. Please come visit me if you ever come this way.

Lots of wuv

That field of flowers looks like a lot of fun to run around in and sniff. Just be careful that you don't get a bee up your nose while sniffing.

What magnificent photos!! Beautiful! How come your smooth sibling stayed home???
Sharkie went for a run in the forest with Carlo who went Mountain biking with some friends.

Sharkie sez a Bee is a Chilly Bug. Im not sure why, but I will believe Shark for now...

These flowers grow totally wild for hundreds of kilometers along our west coast at a certain time of year. They are everywhere. There is not specific spot where they grow. From Cape Town all the way up the west coast as far as they eye can see. Its a spectacular sight. People come from all over the world to photograph it too.

Us fox terriers are very nozy pooches and we absolutely luuuuuurve to stare out the window. Its getting cold and rainy here now, so being able to play outside is not always an option any more. Our bed has now moved to right next to the window. This is where we can have a good look at Garfield the pursian cat next door, and possibly any other exciting furry creatures that happen to pass by our window. Woof woof... how awesome!

RIP Normie Feb 2007 - Apr 2009

To all Normie's friends out there, It was a very difficult and sad decision that I made today. Normie's seizures have progressively worsened over the past few months and his recent episodes just did not want to end. He started seizuring at 17h30 on Tuesday 7 April 2009, and they got longer and every single time. I had him at the vet 3 times and then he stayed overnight again last night, but when he got home today, he was running into walls and looking strangely at his toys. It was obvious that the brain damage started and he continued his fits until I had him back at the doctor at 16h00 today. By recommendation from the doc and my own trauma of seeing all this, we decided it would be better to have him put to sleep. I will miss his love. I will miss his laughter. I will miss his wagging tale. I will miss his devoted love to me... he followed me every step that I made. The loo, the shower, the bath, the kitchen, the bedroom, even when i mowed the lawn... 100% devoted to ...
