Sailability...and introducing * M I M I *

The day started out taking JoJo to Sailability on the Clyde River

Sailboats all lined up

taking off

all finished now!!!

Having fish'n chips for lunch at Innes Boat Shed

Then to avoid a CD shop on the way back to the car as we had already bought a CD that morning I thought we would walk around the block another way and totally forgot that the pet shop had moved there!!!

     And what did we see there......

this gorgeous little labrador pup!!!

JoJo fell in love with her straight away......

We used to have a labrador a few years ago now that JoJo was really close to......

her name was Annie and JoJo has never forgotten her!!!

JoJo could never say 'Annie'......she would say 'Mimi' and this is what she called this little one

2 days later I took Mr Armchair in to have a look at the little pup and within minutes he said 'okay we'll get her'......here she is being strapped up for the car trip home

Looking very cute.......and she was perfect on the way home in the car

Out the back......

A few days later it was off the vet as she had her injections due......

Getting weighed in

Up on the table

And the view across the road from the vet's!!!

Can you believe the next day JoJo actually said 'Annie'.......but we went with 'Mimi'

Mimi is turning out......so far......to be an exceptional little friend for JoJo just like Annie was!!!

We think JoJo and Mimi are going to be great mates!!!

I've been a little quiet in Blogland due to Mimi......and am at the moment getting involved in a Melodrama at Mogo Gold Rush Colony....I'll be back with more on that!!!

Sailability...And On The Pier!!!

Last weekend our Daughter JoJo had the opportunity to participate in Sailability. Sailability is the peak organization for Sailors with disabilities...which facilitates sailing for everyone regardless of age or disability with emphasis on opportunities for people with disabilities. To my understanding Sailability is world-wide. We photographed this very, very special and momentous occassion for her... 'Sailing Pelicans'


The historic Clyde River Bridge...Clyde River is famous for some of the cleanest oysters around...

Waiting patiently for her turn...

All set...

Doggy also enjoying...

A little distraction here...a local Restaurant ~On The Pier~ superb food, stunning views up and down the River...mountains on one side, town on the other...

Also popular for Weddings...

Back to the action now...heading off...

Cruisin'

And for us...while JoJo enjoyed her afternoon we headed off for...fish'nchips...yummmm!!!

Thank you Sailability, And very special thanks also to the Carers

A Great Day!!!
