31st Dec New Years eve 2012.....Alexandra Hills

So, The start of a new day in a new sit it and it can only start one way for Lin. A bacon sandwich. I'm sick of the bloody things, but Lin just can't get going without one. Ok, boss fed, now the dogs. Lucy first, now this may sound easy, but before she's fed, she's gotta have her tablets. Now baring in mind this is a strange dog and she's just crushed the poodle's face for being near her food, I've got to force her jaws open and pour a bucket of tablets down her throat, and believe me, she don't like it and if I'm honest, neither do I....... them bloody teeth are sodding big. Tablets gone and what reward does she get?, half a tin of food, don't seem a lot for a big dog, I think their hoping the tablets are filling her up and with the amount she takes, their probably right.
Lucy taken care of, now its Paris's turn and Lin just rises to the challenge ( I think the bacon sandwich is kicking in). Tablets crushed, food blended and mutt firmly pinned down, out comes the syringes and this dogs gonna get fed. As I watch Lin slowly squirting food down the tube, I can't help wondering what would happen if I gave a good blow down it. Would the dog fill up and float round the room like a balloon, and whizz round when I take me finger off the end of the tube. We find out when Lin gets a bit of air in the syringe. The dog farted. nice. Ok, so how bout after squirting the food in, use the syringe to suck it out, will the dog go fat, thin, fat, thin and will it think full, hungry, full, hungry????
 I mention this to Lin and after what she said, I don't think I'll be getting the chance to find out unless I visit the loo with a rubber hose. Huh, no sense of fun some people.

This place is a traditional Queenslander, set in an acre and half of land, so I'm off to explore. Lin decides washing is the order of the day and sets out to see if the washing machine was worth the money they paid for it (from all accounts, it is), only problem is before they went, Bernadette and Brian mentioned the possibility of snakes, so every time Lin go's down to put a wash on or hang a wash out, I have to be with her, silly really, Lin always go's first, bet she just wants me there to suck the poison out. (Hummm, wonder what would happen if I blow?).
