Today is Pebbles’ first birthday. It is really quite hard to believe that almost a whole year has gone by since Pebbles came to stay. She was six weeks old when she arrived and made herself at home, and found that Nattie was very keen to make it known that the new dog would not be of a higher rank than her.
Nattie (right) and Pebbles (left) sharing a chair in the last few days…or to be more precise, Pebbles visiting Nattie and Nattie not budging out of her comfy spot
Since Pebbles’ arrival, Nattie has grown to like Pebbles quite a lot, although probably not quite as much as Pebbles likes Nattie. To say Pebbles is fond of Nattie would be a serious understatement. Nattie also seems to be happier and more active since Pebbles arrived and quite gladly joins in on ball games.
I filmed this last night as Pebbles wanted to play ball on the stairs and Nattie joined me at the bottom of the stairs where she tried to catch the balls as they came back to me. Nattie doesn’t like to run up and down the stairs like a crazy dog these days, but when I invited her up the stairs, she was very quick to find a loose ball to take back to her chair and chew on. My apologies for the video being a little bit out of focus.
A very happy first birthday to Pebbles! And a thank you to 2UE’s John Kerr who wished Pebbles a happy birthday on the radio at about 2:30 this morning.
@theqldpremier Before I realised the tweet was from you, I was expecting a joke about storms in government. Glad they're not on the forecast in reply to theqldpremier#

@champy The resale value just plummeted. The sane weren't going to buy the Syd monorail, now even the insane won't buy it. Scrap metal… in reply to champy#
@champy Or it could be an amusement park ride. Just have gym mats underneath so that when it stops, people have to jump out. in reply to champy#
@theheraldsun If I choose to eat lunch at my desk, that's my choice, and not something for which my employer should be liable. in reply to theheraldsun#
One very happy @NRL_Bulldogs fan here. Well, three actually when I count the two dogs…and they must be counted. Bring on the grand final! #
@TimGossage It's a shame that over here in the east, ABC are showing a doco about Russia instead of @wafl grand final. I'd gladly watch WAFL in reply to TimGossage#
There will be an anti-Israel protest outside Max Brenner in Parramatta tomorrow. I'll visit Max Brenner in Belconnen in support of Israel. #
@Mel_TurnerAU You make a very good point Mel. I have no intention of making an overt political gesture. Rather, I will just buy from there in reply to Mel_TurnerAU#
Gmail is down for me, home and mobile. Hangs at trying to connect to http://t.co/cQpDFpiA. IMAP works though, so iPhone can still connect. #
@NRLgameplan I was hoping for a Dogs V Rabbits grand final, but this week will do. Go Dogs! (and go Dogs in NSW Cup too!) #

If you want to better justify the $1m street sweeper increase @ZedMLA have the sweepers look out for & report damaged roads & potholes @2CCin reply to 2CC#
@Joe_Hildebrand Nice job on TT tonight calling BS on the claims that the violence was somehow justified. Good work Joe. #
@Joe_Hildebrand I'd call BS on the claim by that the mother of the sign-holding kid couldn't read English. She took the photo for a reason. #
It really doesn't matter what my excuse is; it doesn't change the fact that I am sitting here watching Home & Away 🙁 #
@JodieMarq Of course I should change channel, but it's so appalling that it's compelling. One can't help but see how much worse it can get. in reply to JodieMarq#
@JodieMarq Yep, and the characters seem to have such a lack of mental aptitude that I bet they'd all vote for Gillard and Milne. in reply to JodieMarq#
@JodieMarq Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised to find them fraudulently on an electoral roll somewhere… in reply to JodieMarq#
Not unless they want to. RT @2CC: Should YouTube remove the anti-Islam video? Vote in the 2CC poll http://t.co/bgxUzz1g #canberra #2cc #
@2cc I do not believe that YouTube should be forced to remove the video by law or force. They should choose as it's their website. #
@2cc If I was in charge of YouTube, I would not remove the video, but I would add a note that I believe it to be part of an Al Qaeda plot. #
While Obama does nothing, US sovereignty dwindles. Now the US Embassy in Yemen is being stormed. This is war and Obama doesn't realise it. #

Is it any wonder @gretawire that Romney has regained the lead in the Rasmussen poll when the economy is bleeding jobs like this? in reply to gretawire#
@timwilsoncomau From now on Tim, you should celebrate your birthday with the largest sugary drink you can find, and send video to Bloomberg. in reply to timwilsoncomau#
An email to 2GB’s Andrew Moore and The Continuous Call Team
Evening Andrew,
How good is it to have another week of finals. It gets really serious from here…but not for the next few seconds…
After my resounding success of only tipping one winner (the Doggies) out of eight AFL and NRL finals last week, I’m officially tipping the Cowboys by seven points tonight, and the Rabbits by twelve tomorrow. In the AFL, Fremantle and Collingwood are my tips.
