Even the biggest dog has once been a small pup…

Aunty Vivi, who lives with my Papa Sion from Imkahena Ridgebacks, has had 13 beautiful Ridgeback pups last week.

My human went to visit them in the Provence and thought how amazing it is that such perfectly formed miniature Ridgies will grow soooo big…soooo quickly!

Beautiful puppies are growing healthy and strong with the help of Mama Vivi’s milk….

and lots of warm snuggly sleeps…(and amazing care from Imkahena humans)

Puppies are starting to open their eyes making soft Ewok noises with the odd high pitched attempt at a ’Ruf-Ruf’ ….heehee..

Vikki also spent some time with my Papa Sion on a few lovely walks in the countryside.

Papa Sion loves bounding through the orchards..(looks like a big version of me..right?!!)

He was grateful for the peace and quiet since he is now surrounded by the excitement of these 13 growing pups over the next two months…eek!

Vikki is going to visit the puppies and Papa Sion again soon

Can’t wait to see more on the growing puppies…

“Your Birthday is a special time to celebrate the gift of ‘you’ to the world.”

Birthday time for me and my pal Toffee the Golden Retriever. We’re 3 years old!

Lovely birthdays together playing and running around, followed by yummy birthday treats:

Zola’s Birthday Bone

Nyom nyom nyom…

Toffee’s Birthday Liver Muffin

Cheeky nibble when Toffee’s not looking..heehee

So paws up to our 3rd year, hoping it’s full of adventures, yummy treats, squirrel chasing and lots of playtime…and obviously huge love and attention from our humans!

Thank you to my Facebook fellow Ridgebacks and doggie friends around the world for your kind and amazing birthday wishes….woweeee!

Spring Party Season on Seaweed Hills

Posted on April 11, 2012 by bigdogzola

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”

Us doggies have been enjoying the Spring party season on Seaweed Hills. This is when the weather is getting warmer and the beaches are still quiet and in their natural state full of seaweed hills. Doggies can run, bounce, play and party on them….

……or just stand and enjoy the views!

Unfortunately, the big yellow tractors arrived on the beach this week to clear away these seaweed hills..oh well!

The season of seaweed hills play has come to an end.

The tractors and diggers flatten and clear away the debris of washed up dry seaweed hills. Beaches up and down the coast get a luxury makeover and manicure ready and pristine for the restaurants and bars to set up for the holiday season.

My girlfriend Ezey tries to protest for just another few days of fun on seaweed hills, but alas these giant machines were not up for any negociations.

The Spring holidays are fast approaching and mark the start of the busy season with many visitors arriving from all over the world.

Lots of events on this month and next; Historic Grand Prix, Formula One Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, Yacht shows, Monaco Tennis Open amongst other things.

Local doggies and our humans are already starting to wake up super early so that we can still enjoy our walks and playtimes before it gets too busy and hot!

So, here’s a video of me and my friends on the beach during the last enjoyable week of Spring season on Seaweed Hills.
