Australia Needs Your Help for an Important Petition

{Reposting this from waaay back in the achieves from 2008}

This has had my blood boiling every year at this time. Makes me feel all stabby! I just farkin hate it…does my head in. Those that know me, I can hear you bloody groaning..you know where I am going with this..well just shut up smarty pants!

I would like to put forward a petition to ~~Mr Rudd~~ Ms Gillard, to ban this item from sale and or display in Australia at Christmas. It is highly offensive and just down right un Australian! Maybe we could also get Senator Conroy to add it into his wonderful new filter.

What is it you ask? What is this awful thing that is so offensive and 100 kinds of wrong?

Snow….at Christmas…in Australia!

Snowmen, decorations covered in snow or of bloody snow flakes, spray on snow in a can ( sucko tho, cause that shit doesn’t come off..serves you right for using it!) cotton wool on your Christmas tree to make it look like snow (yes mum..I am looking at YOU!) white Christmas trees…Christmas cards with snowy scenes on them. I could go on, but the eye twitch is getting worse.

They should all be banned..the lot of them!

Then there are those people who like to say, but it isn’t Christmas without a bit of snow or those of you outside Australia that say , oh you must be sad you don’t get snow and Christmas…no we bloody well aren’t!!! You don’t want to know what I propose for you. If you are an immigrant from the northern hemisphere you can be slightly forgiven..only just!

It doesn’t snow here at Christmas people! (ok, so I have seen pics of it snowing in some freaky woop woop mountains in Victoria at Christmas..but they don’t count!) About the only flakey stuff thats going to be falling from the sky is ash and burnt leaves. We enjoy Christmas quite fine with out it…don’t we?!

So come on, embrace your Australianism..snow..just say no!

P.S Did you know it’s only 33 days until Christmas… *faint*

I’m embarrassed to take my child to the park

I had wanted a French Bulldog for years. I’d begged and hinted, and spent many hours looking at super cute pictures, and reading all about them.

FINALLY Christmas last year, and I had my very own. He was perfect, everything I had wanted.

It was only a few days after we got Eric that I discovered something very disturbing about Frenchies that none of the websites I’d read told you.

When he first “did it” manpet and I were just in shock. WTF is that?! There is something seriously wrong with this dog..that is not at all normal. WTF kind of mental disorder does he have o.O This quickly gave way to fits of wet your pants laugher.

On returning home and searching the interwebs, it seems it is indeed a very common Frenchie thing to do.

Behold, my French Bulldog thinks he is a pig (and maybe a meerkat as well)

This video only shows him warming up, if he gets into full swing it truly is a demonic sound.

Thankfully he doesn’t do it all the time (only because I lose the ability to breath laughing at him). And, Im sure you can imagine the looks we get when we are out at the park. If we are out and a dog say something offensive to him..he will scream at them.

If he is busy digging a hole, he screams. But the cutest of all, is if Sookie leaves his sight for even a minute he screams the house down!

Does your dog have an embarrassing habit?

Crazy Cat Lady, Who Me?

So, Liz is having this competition to win a ticket to the sold out Problogger’s training event in Melbourne next month.

I had really wanted to go, but didn’t have the money at the time and couldn’t quite justify another trip to Melbourne. But I now have a SUPER exciting new project I am working on…it would be the perfect opportunity to share it with you all.

I never enter competitions, they always ask stupid questions. 25 words or less..be creative. I have run competitions where I get 100′s of entries of songs, poems and limericks. Pfft, I have no chance!

But when I saw Liz’s question I thought… cats..hmm, maybe I can do that. Then I got to thinking about some of the pictures I had, and giggling to myself just a little too much. I thought why not. At least I’ll have a post for Caturday.

So here is my entry, which is basically a collection of my most embarrassing cat pictures.

The competition question is…

“Tell me how you would smuggle a cat and/or dinosaur into the ProBlogger Training Day.”

Ok, so plan A is…. Disguise cats as babies, and smuggle them in a pram.

I have a cat pram, yes..I really do. We can smuggle at least 3 cats in. Room for Train, if we leave Alex at home. And quite possibility a few smaller dinosaurs, maybe some stegosaurus?
