Goodbye Zoe :( :(

Today has turned out to be a very sad day. Today we said good bye to our beautiful little dog Zoe. Zoe was mixture between a Toy Poodle and an Australian Silkie Terrier and for such a little dog she could be very noisy. She was pretty highly strung and didn't travel well in the car at all. That is why we didn't take her with us on our 12 month Aussie Adventure,but I knew she was going to be well looked after by my daughter Rachel. All her adult life she has had seizures, they were only occasional and not bad enough for the vet to need to medicate her. But in the early hours of this morning she had the biggest and her final seizure. After getting Rachel's phone call saying this seizure wasn't stopping we took her to the Emergency Vet Surgery. The vet advised that her brain function had ceased and due to her extremely high temperature her organs would start to shut down. Before she could finish talking about having her put to sleep, little Zoe made the decision herself and her sweet little heart stopped beating. Goodbye our beautiful little Zoe, thanks for bringing so much joy to our lives for over 14 years.

I think I may be the reason Zoe had a shoe fetish!

When we first got her she was covered in fleas!

She was definitely the boss of our house!

Quiet Time in Exmouth

I've had a pretty quiet week in Exmouth as I have had an allergic reaction to something and my throat and glands in my neck have been swelling up. This is a reoccurring problem although I have been OK for about the past 8 months. Just have to take it easy when it happens as I don't know what I'm actually allergic to.

Here's our journey so far!!

So I thought I would just share some photos I've taken while we have been here.Tomorrow morning we are heading off on a big drive (only about 60kms) to Cape Range National Park, where I hope I will get in a bit of snorkeling. I don't think I will have Internet coverage there,

so if not I will be back in about 5 days.



Out of all the towns we have visited, Exmouth definitely
wins with the most colourful Welcome sign

Every day we have had a visitor to the caravan park.
Keeps the kids (and me) amused.

Hello Ol' Man Emu

This cross was placed at the Lighthouse Lookout.
 Don't know why it was there as there was no plaque telling me why.
But it was pretty impressive.
