May - Life on our Land of Ultimate Bliss
STOP PRESS |
Fortress Paradise is commissioned 13th May 2006. Engineer & Designer: Green T.S. Inspecting Officer: Peppie La Phew 2.I.C: Coco The Bean The Mission: Construction of a means by which two Lhasa Apsos could safely decend from the 1 metre high dog door to the ground below and return unaided. Caveat - there must be no steps, considering the advanced age of the Senior Pup. Planning: Duration of four months from January to May. In the manner of persons of the male persuasion, no design was submitted for review, no scale drawing made, no list of materials supplied or budget submitted to She Who Matters Most. Outcome: A magnificent edifice that far surpassed the Mistress of the House's wildest dreams and which fits perfectly to its purpose. Peppie spends many a quiet moment on her viewing platfrom communing with passing entities and is the ideal space to remain on guard when Adored Father is away from the Land.. Now to build the permanent enclosure, sun shade and grass the area please! |

The merry month of May held to the tradition of providing the Revered One with a special birthday present. This year, seeing as it was her 60th, I arranged ( with no inconsiderable assistance from Adored Father) something a little special - namely her new Palace atop the Josefski hill. I call it vie sur Le Cluod Neuf!
The Giant aka Coco, still technically a Lhasa Apso pup (see below photo on our new grooming bench) is of a like mind but of course does not express herself with my elegence. She bounds about dancing as does a bear on her two very large back feet, grinning from titian-toned ear to titian-toned ear and making smiling faces.
Following my inspection of the new Canine Personnel Exit Portal and Return Ramp Facility, it must be said that OH&S accreditation from the Miriam Vale Shire Council Canine Protection Officer may be withheld until such time as parachutes are provided.
For example, being chased up the hall by a Giant,say, and seeking escape through the dog door may result in a less sure footed person ending up as 'splat' following a one metre drop. Of course one might just bounce so I am planning to allow Coco to test that theory .....
