    Dogs On Holiday - Spotties!

    About 2 weeks ago, we went away for the weekend - me, the spotties and John.

    We went HERE
    It is about 2.5 hours drive from home - down the Great Ocean Road - which is simply beautiful!

    So, here is the view from the balcony



    Thanks for putting on the fire Mum .......



    The dog beach is across the road, it has rock plates between the sand, and the ocean - which are eroded by the sea, day after day - simply amazing. Here are the spotties, sniffing ....



    You walk on beach - lovely sand, then some of the rock plates, and then more beach - this should give you a better idea ...



    Spotty Boy - Captain, for YEARS would NOT get in the water - he just didn't like it.
    Now that we have moved house, to right near the beach, he gets in only in order to chase Ruby further out to sea



    Little Ruby Monster ....... checking on her Mum



    Captain sitting on the deck, watching the waves .....



    Some Shells on the beach .



    Album is HERE

    Movies!!!!!
    Apologies for the small size and poor quality - but I took them with my digital camera .... don't have a video Camera yet ...

    Spotties still running .........

    They look like they had a lot of fun!! Nothing like a warm fire to take the chill out of the ocean water....

    W W! What a wonderful vacation! It looks like you had just a little slice of heaven there. I love the wonderful views from the room and the fact that there are no CROWDS on the beach! Captain and Ruby appear to have enjoyed it as much as the hoomans!

    Regarding the strange thing at the end of your album.......at first I thought it was a sink strainer until I realized it opened up. Now my best guess would be a vegetable steamer??? I'm curious as to what others think.

    looks like a great place! Your beautiful Spotties seem happy with the accomodations, inside & out.
    Your mystery object is just like the one in my kitchen - a vegie steamer. (I like to use it open in a covered skillet for steaming asparagus, mmmm. Don't have to cut them into pieces that way)

    Wow, that looks like it was one amazing holiday! The scenery is absolutely stunning.

    I am guessing that thing is some sort of onion thing, steamer, fryer, peeler?

    Oh, yeh, the Spotties! Sure would like to see more pictures more often! What wonderful pictures and what a wonderful spot for a vacation. Glad everyone had a good time.

    Great pics!! Too bad we don't see more of your spotties...


    It's most definitely a vegetable steamer. You place it down in a pot and the veggies sit in the steamer and steam away. It folds up all nice and neat for easy storage. It can adjust to smaller or larger pots. Am I right??
