Me no no care about cold water, see see,




My Sunshade LOVE LOVE water, so Jaffaman love love water too!



(mum: Neither Sunshade nor Jaffa started out loving water. Sunshade was very curious, yet hesitant about water when she was a pup. Finally when she was 6 months old, I took her to a lake and went into the water to about my thigh high. She was desperate to get to me that she took the plunge and swam for the first time. Ever since that day, she's had a special bond with water and has become an excellent swimmer. Big waves don't phase her, and she's drawn towards the water like magnets to steel!

Jaffa has always loved his Sunshade. Wherever she goes, he wants to be there, or at least try to be. He had always been content to just wade in the water and watch as Sunshade swam out. But one day when he was about 9 months old, Sunshade swam out quite far and went around a bend where Jaffa lost sight of her. He seriously panicked and splashed all the way out to look for his Sunshade despite my "NO's & WAIT's". I was very worried because he had not swam before, and I could see him struggling almost vertically in water while splashing his front legs around. I called him, he ignored me of course like any good Airedale. So I called Sunshade to get her to come back (which she did at her own time). When Jaffa finally saw Sunshade mid water, he swam toward her and proceeded to climbing on top of her when he finally reached her LOL. He got a good growl from Sunshade, and they both headed back to shore. He learned how to swim that day, and has become a good swimmer.)

Jaffaman run run lots with my Sunshade,


And pose pose for mummy!


Mummy said lets walk to the big big rock ok ok?


I said said ok ok, but my Sunshade got a big rock rock already!


My Sunshade sleep sleep with big rock rock, see see,


I said said wakie wakie Sunshade, we go find bigger rock rock ok?


(Sunshade: no respect for your elders whatsoever!)

Good good Sunshade got up and walk walk,


Jaffaman follow my Sunshade, see see,


Mummy put me and my Sunshade on line line,


I said said me see friend friends, me go play ok ok??


Mummy said said NO NOOOOOOOOOOO........

My Sunshade and me sit sit in front of the big big and tall tall rock!!


Then mummy said said lets go back ok ok?


Jaffaman said said ok ok, but I see friend friends, me pull pull and jump jump to play ok ok??

Mummy said said NOOOO, BAD BAD JAFFAMAN....... She did did this....


She put line line around my belly... so Jaffaman no no pull. Line line squeeze my tummy when I pull pull.....


My Sunshade got no line line, see see,


(Sunshade: mum usually has me on leash on the walk way so I don't walk into the bike/roller blade lane. However, today mum decided to let me (get run over) off leash because she needed two hands to hold stupid STINKY back. Whenever STINKY sees a dog while he's on leash, he turns into a bucking bronco. Today was no different.)


(mum: Jaffa is not the politest dog on leash because he is always very excited and enthusiastic when he sees other dogs. He pulls quite hard, and will sometimes bark or lunge at dogs in an attempt to play (no aggression whatsoever). We're working on it, but its still a work in progress. Sunshade is pretty good at ignoring dogs all together or a quick sniff and go, as getting to the beach and finding a special rock are her top priorities.)

My Sunshade silly silly, see see,


She walk walk like this,


(Sunshade: its called "brave brave" ok?)

Jaffaman said me try try too ok ok?


But I said said me no no want to give mummy heart attack, me walk on ground ground,

Me no no want my Sunshade to be bore bored, so I said said me play play wif you ok ok Sunshade?



(Sunshade: I was NOT bored! I was just enjoying the scenery, enjoying the fact that MY bootiful face was bite-free, enjoying the peacefulness, enjoying watching you landshark mum's arm as well as putting sandy pawtographs all over mum's jacket!)

Me play play wif you Sunshade, me play play, see see!
