We’re just got back from holiday, so Super Magic Lightning Boy is back!  I wasn’t allowed to take Dixie, but Dixie wanted to stay behind to guard the house.  Our neighbour feeds her while we’re away and she always feeds Dixie far too much.  When we got home Dixie Thunderpaws was huge!  So now Dixie has to go on a diet, but not to worry with all our superhero quests… Read More »Fat Cat!

Rock-tastic!

Well, the Dog Detectives are cycling into the heart of the Australian Outback and by sunset we should be rolling up to that world famous red rock called Uluru. Uluru is like a big red iceberg, because most of the rock is hidden beneath the ground – kind of like how most of an iceberg is hidden beneath the… Read More »Rock-tastic!
