Cully is flat out after intensively supervising a parole application submission that I wanted off my desk ASAP. Cully knows how stressed and upset this made me - even with a victim's support person on the phone to help - so now he is modelling utter relaxation as a guided exercise.

A quiet park walk with the pack. I title this one "Still Life with Paparazzi" - for those of you who don't know, these native flightless birds stalk Cully relentlessly when we're out at the Deloraine river Park. It's an ongoing thing...

The air smells like slightly damp Russian Caravan tea.

One year ago Hubs and I were celebrating bushwalking with Cully at 12.

Now we celebrate every day the fact that he's 13 and still up for adventures - even though he's spending more time sleeping (and shedding!!) than ever. He's 91 in human years and earned it.

Palliative pets can have a great quality of life. Ask Cully.

Peter is getting us a takeaway dinner from Sailor Food Truck, while Cully and I sit in the warm car. Now all I want is an emotional support peacock 🦚 and to have my ankles back!

Just my average international travel jetlag response 😁

Out on our walk this morning we encountered a hen with highly fluffed feathers and a determination not to move from her spot.
Cully gently walked up to sniff her
She exploded up into his face clucking madly.
Several chicks exploded out from under her, peeping like crazy.
Cully was confused, but put his paws carefully as he walked away so he didn't step on any chicks.
Mum ushers brood away, giving Cully the hairy eyeball.
Cully - trys to nonchalant it away...

Happy to the Matinee Idol dog of our dreams Cully!!!

Today is Cully's 13th birthday - and we didn't plan on seeing him live this long due to kidney disease. However, life - like the impossibly handsome Malamute X Shepherd dog himself - keeps surprising us. We are thrilled and delighted to share Cully's birthday with you, and are grateful for all the love and support you show him.

We became a pack when Cully was only 8 weeks old, and I kept his original little blue leather collar for a long time. Fun Cully trivia: I put the collar on him before putting him in the travel crate when we brought him home, and to this day he hated being a naked dog. Cully will put his head back into the collar if it slips off. He's more than simply a pair of melting sherry-coloured eyes. Cully had fashion standards!

Yes, his collars remain blue. We use embroidered collars with his name and phone number to help keep him safe - even though he never runs off. Good boy Cully!!

Happy birthday to our most gorgeous boy, and we hope your day is as chilled and love-filled as Cully's.

A slightly goofy picture of Cully this week, as he reminds us that imperfection is ok.

Not everything in life goes to plan, and sometimes it's better to embrace reality, rather than be obsessed with redoing and redoing until you reach 'perfect'.

Cully is comfortable with inner beauty and shine. Be like Cully - work with the goofiness and rough edges when they happen!

ID: a stonkingly gorgeous Malamute X Shepherd dog lays on a bed with his head up and muzzle very close to the camera, giving a slightly wonky shot. His sherry-coloured eyes are dark and clear.

From yesterday's lake swim - Cully gently retrieving his squeaky hippo.

ID: a Malamute X Shepherd dog in close-up front on to the camera. He is shoulder high in the water of a boat ramp gently biting down on a grey toy floating on the lake.

10 minute lake swim in chilly water and light rain. Cully was deeply unimpressed with a short outing, but barked in the shallows while a friend and I got some swimming in.

Yesterday was much nicer, with a welcome warm water layer. Hubs was with us, so the outing was unlike today's soggy venture...
