The Great Wallaby Hunt!

Last weekend we had Geoff's youngest daughter Bethie and her lovely boyfriend Oscar down to stay for the Friday and Saturday. Friday night is the long standing tradition in the Dixon household........Pizza Night! Hard for Geoff to have to WATCH someone ELSE make them though and not himself!

Closely supervised!!!

He did get to put them in the oven though!!

Oscar was a hit with the wee small dog............

The next morning, armed with sticks, beaters and two dogs, we headed off into the paddock to try and hunt out about 6 wallabies who have got IN and haven't been able to get OUT! A problem with wallaby proof fencing! We made lots of noise and managed to get them through the fence and across three paddocks before they eluded us and high tailed it BACK to where they came from! (sigh!!!) Never mind... we had fun whooping and yelling with Lilli proving to be an absolute stand out Wallaby chaser!!! She ran and ran and ran after them, up and down fence lines! HUGE (well........ huge if you are a 2.5 kilo Chihuahua!) Wallabies being chased by a teeny tiny little dog who could barely leap over the grass clumps!!!! Funny to watch! Treeka proved to be totally useless as predicted and happily gambolled about most of the time heading the wallabies off in the wrong way or not even seeing them at all!!!

Armed and ready for business!

Supremo Hunting Dog!!!

Great visit guys!!!

Hope to see you again soon!
