Enzo has discovered my favourite plant – a Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata) which is a semi-climbing rambling blue flowered plant that originally comes from South Africa. This plant covers one of our fences and is approx. 2 metres deep. I love it because I can hide inside; chew on the branches, check if any cats have been through and without even knowing it take flowers to mum.
Now Enzo has decided it is his hiding place too, so he races in and out. Of course we both went in to play – which had mum worried, as she didn’t know what we were up to and couldn’t climb under the Plumbago to get Enzo out!
In the last photo you will see what my new brother ended up looking like. He had flowers over his face, on his chest and in his paws. I heard Mum muttering something about there being “flowers for Africa” (where does that saying come from?) before giving us both a good brush and comb.
Sending you woofs,
Riley

Puppies can be fun, but also kind of annoying and of course the humans are all ooo ahh, what a cute puppy. Let's just hope they don't forget how totally adorable YOU are.

PeeEssWoo: So Riley - how's it REALLY going ;-) ?
Enzo is adorable! You doing a good job taking care of him, Riley.
Hey there Riley and Enzo...
Yes, we know that bush and hate it!...Uuurgh, those flowers become so sticky. The bush itself is in our neighbour's garden, so we can't even cut it down.
You two look sooo cute, by the way. It looks like you've become firm friends already. Hope Mom is managing with all the puppy-antics.

Well, why else do humans plant these things except to allow us to play under them?
