It won't happen overnight, but it did happen overnight!

Yes, the two things we call pups are quickly turning into dogs. Overnight Elvis has changed in appearance - he no longer has the cute puppy face, but is now growing a fully-fledged beard (as all good schnauzers should have!). Also, the two have taken to swimming in the creek on our daily walk. It started yesterday, with Toby getting his feet wet and Elvis lying in the flowing water and was complete today when toby dog paddled about, closely followed by Elvis.

The two dogs have also graduated to off lead walking on the path that runs through Ashburton. I do have to put them back on the lead as we head into Glen Iris - the sign says so - but also because if I don't they will both jump in the creek much before I wan them to. Elvis was even dog paddling in the drink bowl in Ferndale Park.

Tonight N and I shared a great dinner at Chocolate Buddha at Fed Square followed by dessert at Mecca on Southbank. It was a fun night out, complete with a visit from Maddie, the three minute angel.

N is off to work tomorrow, so I am going to tidy up some chores and hopefully we can take young Toby and Elvis to the beach on Sunday! It should be fun!
