From Bark-a-lot Towers to Bark-a-lot Lodge!

Hello dear furry friends! After a long absence, many trials and tribulations and quite a few setbacks we are proud to present:

A first glimpse of BARK-A-LOT LODGE, our new home from hopefully next month to furever.



We also wanted to say a big thank you to your for keeping us in your thougths and prayers, and your sincere and heartfelt comments on our blog. Our Papa is doing a lot better now and we frequently take him on little walks so he gets his strength back. It's a tough job but somedog has got to do it!



Our Ma is doing well. On the whole she's had a much better year than last year, even through our cold New Zealand winter. Thank Dogness it's spring now and the weather is slowly improving so we're looking forward to many walkies and new adventures.





And a few weeks ago a strange guest moved into our living room:



Our pawrents call this an exercise bike. Papa bought it for Mama so she can exercise even on cold windy days when she can't go out! We think it's a great idea... she needs to stay fit to accompany us on our walkies!

As most of you have probably heard, we truly had some bad weather over here, even a big earthquake on the South Island, ca. 300 miles from here. We slept right through it all :) But our house is built on rock, and there you don't feel earthquakes so much. It'll be a different thing out in the country!

A few weeks ago we had a big hailstrom that dumped lots of white frozen stuff on our verandah:



Papa made us go outside and check out the white stuff because we don't see it very often in these parts of the world, but to tell you the truth, we didn't like it one bit. It was cold, hard and stuck to our paws, brrh!!!

Well, that's all for now... gotta go, it's chicken for dinner! (And hopefully not just for the hoomans).

Talk soon, love Josh & Jessie
