GOT A TUG ON THE WAY HOME LAST NIGHT
The cop came up to the window and said “Any drugs or Alchole”
Apparently, no thanks officer I’m already fully wasted was not the right answer.

NOW CHIP I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR!
Even though it was a tough choice not to kill you when you arrived in “my house” never ever forget you are my dog I am not your cat. Chip being highly intelligent agreed and peace returned. Well so far at least.

WHATS CHANGED 26 YEARS LATER?
Apart from a few new laugh lines very little, Jack’s still pulling faces I’m still drinking Champagne and Clare’s still smiling. This was our first house at Lower King after moving out the tent at Emu Point. Nowadays only the rivers changed as we sit on our balcony and look down on the ancient Kalgan river. Thanks Albany you’ve been kind to us.

MY NICKNAME HAS ALWAYS BEEN CROCODILE NOW I KNOW WHY!
I have always loved to get in the water with ducks such playful creatures. I think it must be a long family tradition. 👀

FAREWELL OUR FRIEND A TRIBUTE TO ANDY.
The call came at 6.30am the other day that’s always a bad time. It’s Andy he is going down hill said my good friend Steve Moyer where Andy has been in retirement in the Porongurups for the last eight years. I’ve tried for three weeks but it’s a cancer. I have left hard decisions too long in the past. The bay Horace died a number of years ago and I dragged the decision too long. A very hard deep breath then. “Just do it” F**k it’s hard but done. So now let’s remember him for what he will always be a champion. Now Andy is galloping through the clouds but one day he will see me sitting on a cloud sipping champagne OK my friend ready for another adventure? Until then Andy au revior. Xx

YET ANOTHER FILM FOR ALBANY.
I used to train dogs many years ago so in retirement I put my hand up to train another for the latest release. “The streets of Albany” In the opening scene the stars of the show Chip and myself are attacked by a knife wielding nutter who I beat off with the aid of Chip and my Zimmer frame. But having struggled home Chip the dog collapsed on the bed.😭 To be continued, If this has caused you any mental concerns ring our helpline on 1234567.
