Meet my friend Elle. She’s gorgeous. In fact, she’s delicious (well, mama says she’s chocolate, so that must mean she’s delicious.  Mind you, I don’t get to eat much chocolate, but the tiny bits I’ve had have been delicious).

Elle lives with Derek and Andre in Bentleigh, which is not too far from where I live.  Derek used to work with my mama (and secretly, mama hopes they’ll work together again one day because she thinks Derek is ace).

These two dogs live in Udaipur, in the Lal Ghat area near Lake Pichola.

Udaipur is known for its lake, home to the opulent Taj hotel that sits in the middle of it. The hotel was the location for the Bond movie Octopussy, and all around the town are signs advertising this presumably a way of establishing credibility with the Western tourists who visit.

My mum says Udaipur is one of her favourite places in India even
though she’s not a Bond movie fan. The dogs certainly look like they love it!

I got this email and photo from some new friends recently. Aren’t I lucky!

Our Dad Laurie was talking to your Mum at work yesterday and she told him about your website and blog. This sounds pretty cool, so we thought we’d drop you a line to introduce ourselves and give you the link to our webpage.

Anyway Mum and Dad are running a bit late for work this morning, so we’d better cooperate and get moving.

Our website is at www.geocities.com/longstrider88

And we are: Raven (I’m 11), Odin (I’m the special one), Zeena (I ’m
the water baby) and Zeus (I just do what everyone else does).

This is my friend Teddy (you’ve met him before). He lives in Geelong, about an hour and a half away from here. My mama met Teddy today in person. She said he’s every bit as adorable as he looks in this photo.

Teddy showed my mum some of the toys he got for Christmas. He got a squeaky chicken, a big blue fluffy bone, and quite a lot more. Teddy’s a spoilt boy. But mama says I am too, so I guess we’re alike in that way.

And Teddy has a few quirky little habits like me – he was sticking his nose in mama’s pockets to see if she had any hankies he could play with, or tissues he could eat. I have to confess to having a bit of a penchant for eating tissues myself. I don’t know my mama freaks out about it. It saves her filling up the rubbish bin with them.
