I’m in training for the World Beard Dribbling Championships. Trying to think of ways I can get more beardage volume … 😉 ~ Bobby

Hi and happy Saturday pals. I’m happy to report that although it was a hot & horribly windy day, with fires closer to our valley than we’d like, my kangaroo pals & my Hoos and our neighbours are all OK. The fire didn’t get us. 😅 Thanks for all the concerned messages - you’re lovely friends. Bob

Hi pals 👋 happy Friday! As you know we live in the country. Today our area is rated at ‘Catastrophic Fire Danger’ so we won’t be posting / replying - we’ll be preparing incase we need to evacuate, and paying close attention to updates on the Vic Emergency app. We’re safe for now. 🤞 ~ Bobby

Waiting for Lucy. She’s coming for a swim.

My water bowl today. Thanks for the ice cubes HooMum - it’s a lot of fun getting them out and eating them. 🧊🧊🧊 Kind of like a hot day dog version of bobbing for apples. ~ Bobby 😁

Morning pals and happy Thursday! 👋 It was so hot when we walked this morning (25°C @ 6:15am) that the kangaroos weren’t out. We met this cockatoo though - he had a lot to say about hot weather. Had a bit of play time with Spike the spider when I got home. Hope you have a great day. ~ Bobby

I’m recovering from my early morning walk - it was 23°C at 6:00am 🥵 We bumped into some kangaroos in a neighbour’s front yard. The one on the right is an adult male (v big) and if you zoom in, you can see a juvenile peeping out from behind him. ~ Bobby *panting* *❤️ chilled apple pieces*

Guess what I’ve been doing today? ~ Bobby 😈

It was hot 🥵 yesterday, way too hot for a Dale due for a haircut to go walking during daylight, so HooMum took me for a twilight walk. We met two new kangaroos - maybe they are mother and an almost mature child? I was glad it was cooler & as a bonus, the sky was very pretty. No vampires!🧛‍♀️ ~ Bobby

Hi pals and happy Saturday! The postie brought me a parcel yesterday from Pebble & Ola & Seb. @olakwiecien3.bsky.social It was so exciting - I got a special card *with Pebble on the front*, and some delicious festive biscuits and a toy spider called Spike (HM slightly freaked out 😆). (1/3)

Today’s kangaroo sighting. This fellow was 1 of a trio of juveniles, grazing near the bottom of a hill - the others hopped away before HM could take their photo. Hope you’re having a good day pals. ~ Bobby

Lucy and I had a play date yesterday which involved lots of fun, tug of wars and crazy running around! We also spent a lot of time in my pool cooling off in between sprints. Then we did digging and got VERY dirty. It was the best fun 🤩 Pool water was black by end of play. ~ Bobby & Lucy 🐾🐾

Happy New Year pals! Hope your 2026 is filled with joy, good health and heaps of time with people and furs you love. Here’s to more fun, less worries and making great memories. 1/4

We went for a new walk this morning - chosen because it was largely shady (🥵). On the way we saw these ducks standing on a fence. They said it was too hot to bother flying away. Now I’m napping 😴 to cool down (& grateful for the AC). Hope you’re having a good week. ~ Bobby

Our little kangaroo friend was out and about again this morning, with two other youngsters. All very cute. Hope you’re having a good day pals. ~ Bobby

Hey Susan @sushi95.bsky.social Lucy says thank you very much for her beautiful Christmas gift (and thanks for making such a fab toy Helen @misheleneous.bsky.social). She’s having lots of fun squeaking it and running around the house with it. 🎄🎄🎄 ~ Bobby

We saw this kangaroo this morning. They were not in any way worried by us walking by. ~ Bobby

It’s been a long and exciting day today, celebrating Christmas with the HooFamily, but it’s lovely to be home relaxing with my new squeaky bone toy. Thanks very much for the lovely gift @sushi95.bsky.social. 🙏 It’s beautifully made thanks @misheleneous.bsky.social 👍 Luffs ya pals ❤️❤️ ~ Bobby

Thanks for my new toy Lisa and Schroeder🌈. @schroedesgs.bsky.social I love it and especially enjoy its squeaker. It has lasted all day with no damage (small miracle) but I’ll work more on it tomorrow - he he he. 😈 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ~ Bobby

Hey @sushi95.bsky.social and @misheleneous.bsky.social - thanks so much for the beautiful bandana. I’ve been wearing it today to celebrate Christmas and everyone has been complimenting me on how great it looks. Thank you very much for your kind gift. 🎁 🙏 ~ Bobby

Hi pals, Merry Christmas! 🎄 Sending all best wishes & hoping that you’ll be spending the day with people you love. 💕 Many of you live in the northern hemisphere & have cold Christmases. Ours are summery - listen to this Aus carol to get the feel. Luffs ya ~ Bobby www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJCY...

Woo hoo - I got a Christmas card from my pal Adrian @ahbrizzle.bsky.social today. Thanks very much Adrian 🙏. I’ve looked at all the dogs on the card and worked out which one is the Airedale - he has my ✅ of approval. Merry Christmas pal 🎄 ~ Bobby

We bumped into a few friends on our walk this morning. They asked me to say Merry Christmas to all their BlueSky 🦋 admirers. ~ Bobby

Play date yesterday was a hot affair. Lucy and I made many journeys through my little swimming pool which helped us deal with the 35°C temperature. But it was a lot of fun regardless of the heat. 🥵🥵 ~ Bobby

This is the design on HooMum’s favourite Christmas t-shirt. Pretty nice (if I do say so myself) huh? ~ Bobby.

Hey Billy pal @billycairn.bsky.social - thanks 🙏 very much for the Christmas card. I love that a dog features on the front - a terrier of course cos we’re lovely right? 😇 Hope your week’s going well. ~ Bobby

Look who we bumped into on our walk this morning. 😉 ~ Bobby

Terrible news of a massacre at Bondi Beach this afternoon. We have no words to describe the shock that this could happen in Australia. We are so sorry for all who were injured and for the families and friends of those who were killed. ❤️‍🩹😔 Please join us in praying for them all.

And this ‘Flyer’ toy lasted less than 5 minutes! HooMum is cranky that it’s so flimsy. Oh well - it met the Destroyer and paid the price. 😈😈😈 ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Introducing one of my birthday gifts, Tommy Turtle - described by the manufacturer as ‘rough & tough’. How long do you think he’ll last with me (Bobby the Destroyer) pals? ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Did I mention that I’ve had an amazing day pals? The postman brought me a gift from Lisa @schroedesgs.bsky.social. We had a look in the box and found a very cute toy (for me) and some treats for HooMum. I have inspected (paws on the bench!) and can’t wait for Christmas. ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Hey pals - how do you like my Christmas tree hat? Don’t worry, it’s an outside tree, it won’t fall on me. It’s my birthday today & I’m two. HooMum said I can be as crazy as I like (e.g. tree hat) cos it’s my special day. We’re going to the Produce shop & I can choose a toy & some treats 🎉 Bobby 👋

Hey Heidi pal @heidibt3.bsky.social and Stephanie - thanks very much for the lovely Christmas card. It arrived today. 🎉🎄 We love that it was made by hand by a very talented artist (Mummy). Thank you for sharing your good wishes with us. 🙏🙏🙏 Hope you have a great Christmas. ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Hey Luna pal and Darren @dazwhitehead1.bsky.social - thanks very much for the lovely Christmas card! 🙏 The picture looks just like you, only the model doesn’t have a stick in her mouth. 😀 I got HooMum to put the card up on the bench - I’ve received more cards than the Hoos. 🤣😂 ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Pals, I’ve had a wonderful day! The parcel delivery man visited us, and left a parcel from @sushi95.bsky.social Susan. I gave him a good woofing, which he appreciated (I could tell 😂). It had cute decorations on it & contained presents for me and Lucy. How lucky am I? Thanks Susan. 🙏 ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Oh ho ho - the postman stopped at our house today, and left this lovely Christmas card from @cairn2.bsky.social Haz and Maz. It was addressed to me *proud ears*. Thanks ladies - I luffs that a koala is helping Santa (front cover art) ~ Bobby 👋🎄

I’m keeping my head down and hiding on the couch - shh 🤫 - don’t tell HooMum where I am. I really don’t want my whiskers brushed just cos visitors are expected! ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Hi pals - happy Tuesday. It was a lovely sunny day here so HooMum took me for an afternoon walk (as well as the morning walk of course) and I got very hot. 🥵 So this is me chomping ice cubes and getting cool. 😎 ~ Bobby 👋🎄

Hi pals 👋 I hope you’re having a great Sunday. I’m just home from Dog Camp, which I always love. Today my favourite playmate was a lovely greyhound, so lots of fast running happened. 😊 Of course I bathed in mud puddles and was crusted in mud at pickup time. Guess what happened? 🧼🛁🫧👎 ~ Bobby 👋

I’m at Dog Camp today (yay), so just had a quick early walk this morning. We bumped into this joey and mother kangaroo on the way. Have a great Sunday pals. ~ Bobby 👋

It’s a cold, thundery and rainy Saturday here, so guess how I’m spending my day. Thanks for the inspiration Haz and Maz @cairn2.bsky.social Have a great weekend pals. ~ Bobby 👋

A blast from the past today pals - me back in my youth. I loved this old bed, but I chewed it to pieces eventually (what a shock, I know 🤪). This photo was in winter - just looking at all the fur now is making me hot 🥵 cos it27°C today. ~ Bobby 👋

It’s bin night tonight in our neighborhood tonight pals. Each week I walk past this (v large) bin, glance to the left and see this raccoon staring me in the eye! It gives me a big fright. HooMum laughs at me as I skitter off down the street at top speed - how rood huh? ~ Bobby 👋

We bumped into a couple of our friends when we out walking yesterday. This is a mum and a mature joey- they know us and don’t bother hopping away from us when we pass. ☺️ ~ Bobby 👋

It’s not raining today so I’m out and about. I can advise that all’s well in our valley. 😊 ~ Bobby 👋

I’m having a snuggle on the couch with HooMum this afternoon. It’s comfy up here and nice getting lots of pats. Also, I have a great view of the fireplace and out across the paddock from here. Hope you’re having a fab weekend, doing things you enjoy. 😊 ~ Bobby 👋

Hey Winston pal @winstonthewoofer.bsky.social - a friend sent me this image of Airedales playing Cricket - thought it might give you & Himself a laugh. I think our games might be slow going - imagine how long it’d take to get the ball back from the fielders. 🤣😆🤭 ~ Bobby ✋

To all my pals in North America & everywhere really, #happythanksgiving. I’ve been thinking about what I’m grateful for, and friendship is my #1. I'm thankful for your friendship and all the good times we've shared on BlueSky 🦋. I hope you have a great and happy thanksgiving day. 🥧 ~ Bobby ✋

Hi pals - happy Thursday! ✋ This is my favourite toy, Mr Crocodile - he used to belong to my fur-bro Toby 🌈 and was a gift from HooGran. He is very well made and has so far survived games with me unscathed. Amazing! ~ Bobby ✋

Shove over HooMum, it’s my turn to use the footstool now. It’s just the right height for me. 😁 ~ Bobby ✋
