DD is officially a year old.
She also has something new to look after.
We bought some chooks a few weeks back - 4 ISA Browns for those who are into that kind of thing - and they're in a chook run down the back of the yard.
DD wants to play with them, though I think her idea of "play" may well be a bit rough for the chooks.
Also, we moved house. We're still in the village, one street over, in fact. DD loves the back yard here much more - there's less clutter in it, so she can run more freely.

See? I'm a good girl! Now praise me, and pat me, and I'll chew on your feet!
Today was Miss K's 10th birthday party, and she had a few friends over. (Five. My house had an extra five girls, taking the number up to eight. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment. And one is staying over the night.)
It also was the day the InfoxicatedMan decided to replace the alternator.
The father of one of the girls who was here offered to help, and who're we to say no? Especially when it only costs us a few beers ;-)
So, J took his daughter S home, and came back to help. While the InfoxicatedMan and J were out the front working on therust bucket vehicle, Dumbarse Dog was allowed out of the front yard.
And she behaved.
Only twice in a 2 hour stretch did she get roused at. The first time, she decided to see if she could sneak off. The second, she decided to see if the fluffy lap dog, who really is worth more than our car, had actually been walked more than 3 houses up (It hadn't. Dumbarse Dog decided to pursue. Dumbarse Dog came slinking back).
I'm quite proud of Dumbarse Dog today.
She (as a friend would say) "done good, run strong"

Lizards aren't venomous? Since when?
Today, while I was folding laundry, I heard a very distinctive bark from outside. It was Dumbarse Dog being protective.
So, I walk out there, and she keeps moving to right in front of me, barking at the base of a tree. It seems we have a resident Blue Tongue that DD thinks she needs to protect us from.
I've seen this lizard a few times now, and as you can see, it's moulting.
I'm just hoping the poor lizard doesn't make a meal for DD, though I'm glad she's decided to just bark and snap at it, rather than try and bite and attack it. It bodes well for when the snakes start.
