honey = the best dog in the world.

Let me tell you about our dog honey. My dad bought me her almost 7 years ago and the first moment i saw her it was seriously love at first sight. It sounds like I'm a spoilt brat.. my dad bought me a dog blah blah blah but let me tell you i had to work for it.. i begged and begged and begged, i signed a contract saying that i would look after her FULLY which entailed feeding, walking and cleaning up after her when she decided would do her business all over the house. So dad bought her home, everyone was all gaga over her and she turned into the "family" dog immediately, everyone would say that she was theirs.. until it came to cleaning up after her... "She's your dog Erana" they would argue. Pffftttt.

She really has a character of her own, i could go on all day about her but to save you from boredom ill just tell you about what happens if you are going for a walk/run or a ride.
Honey is so observant, she is aware when things are about to go down. She knows the sound of the car car keys, the sound of the front door opening, when you put your running shoes or when you say the words RUN, WALK, RIDE in a sentence. The ears perk up and she starts prancing around the vicinity of the front door.  We had to start spelling out the words so she didnt know what we were talking about, but she caught onto that too. It gets so bad that if you say RIDE and she hears you.. thats it, you have to take her somewhere, anywhere.. even if its just down to the shops to get toilet paper and bread. She works her self up so much that if it doesn't happen she gets really depressed, she sighs and mopes all day, its just easier to get her in the car and drive around for 5 minutes.
 In 2007 i moved to Sydney and sadly she couldn't come with me. I was away for 4 years and when i came back she is pretty much dad's dog now.. he has turned her into an even beautifuler (yeah thats a word, look it up) dog. After coming back home I've been able to reconnect with her again. We are pretty much best friends now. Only she loves Mick more.. and he likes to remind me about it everyday.

With Mick starting his new job it means he comes home earlier, meaning the sun is still up ..we are able to do things i.e take honey for a run. Everyone loves taking honey for a run for two reasons 1. it doesn't take any effort on your part and 2. she has different needs to normal dogs, she likes to RUN... So much so that it takes her running along side the car flat out for 15 minutes to satisfy her needs. She loves it. I take her for walks around the neighbour hood and even then she doesn't walk on a lead but what she really lives for is her runs. She is so well trained that if you can't find her it just takes a beep of a horn and out she pops, back into your line of vision. Bonus is.. back beach is the perfect place to wind down for the day. Its a win/win situation. Just like mick said today "I love Karratha" and i couldn't have put it better myself.

Our friends Teash and Brian have gone to Perth for the Soundwave Festival and have trustingly left us with their baby Ace for 5 days. we love having him, not only is he company for honey (our dog) but they have trained him well.. he can do all the things my dogs growing up couldn't i.e.. play fetch. Any dog that i have ever owned either has absolutely no interest what-so-ever or went for the ball and then ran in the opposite direction. Since he is still young he has copious amounts of energy, to much energy for honey.. having him around you can really see that honey is getting older which is a little sad. Mick and I took them down to Back Beach so they were able to frolic around in the water, catching rocks and playing amongst the mangroves.
