Mr Bojangles

Well we have a new member of our family Mr Bojangles was born November 2nd 2016 and joined us in his 6th Week December 12th.
The first two photo's are his mum & dad who are both working dogs. We purchased him from a kennel outside Warwick in Queensland.

Mr Bojangles sister facing us and he has his back to the camera at 4 weeks old.
Mr Bojangles (Bo) having his first sit in the Chev on his way home. He had just been to the vet for his first needles and check up.
Back seat didn't last very long, but he is only a little boy.
First night home, after a 6 hour drive and he did very well, no mistakes and sat quietly once he got his own way and sat in the front seat.
Mr Bojangles meets Elidi our granddaughter and Buddy which is Matt and Helens 18month old Border Collie.
Our biggest regret with Rascal our previous BC, was that we didn't have many photo's as he was growing up, you will see plenty of photo's of Rascal in our previous entries. We are not going to make that mistake with Bo. 5 weeks and 2.4kg.
I can see these two getting into lots of trouble as they grow up together.
Bo checking out the caravan, hopefully he enjoys it as much as Rascal did.
First trip down to the beach, he loved the water. about 6 weeks old.

Buddy (18 months), Bo (7 weeks)  and Daisy (7 months)  my daughters Kelpie just before Christmas.
The big dogs have tired him out.
my new outside bed
I think I prefer this bed.
I like my new blanket.
Went up to Toowoomba, helping out with the tools.
Mucking around and I found out just how sharp his teeth are.
Resting on dad's knee at 9 weeks old after a hard day on the tools.
I am good sometimes, chilling with dad.
Went to the vet today Friday 13th for my C7 shots and Annual check up 5.05 kg. The vet advised us that Mr Bojangles had a good nature and he was given a clean bill of health. 
 Thank you, no more needles for another month. I have grown, 10 weeks old now.
Down at Kingscliff NSW for a look.

Looking back towards the house from out beyond the cliff and trees.




Well this is our new vehicle, 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LT


Our first trip away, Burning Mountain Rest Area

Space in the back fro the grandkids
Satellite dish, 3kv generator and solar panel are now located on this side on the shelf.
Fridge is located on the drop down slide, water tank under neath, ladder, awnings and equipment for the fox wing in the rear area and my tools in the draw under the fridge.
Replaced the 3500kg hitch with a 4500kg self aligning non lubricated hitch so no more grease to get on my clothes.

I couldn't buy replacement rubber NERF Bar inserts so I made my own from 2mm polished aluminium tread plate
Made my own rear boat loader but wasn't happy so I am still in the process of re engineering the replacement unit. With the exception of working out the front pivot and roller position the new one is almost complete. Winch and mainframe are installed so I can use it as a normal roof rack when I don't have the tinny on top.

The new boat loader, 44kg lighter and 125mm lower than the previous one.

Made my own mudflats, couldn't find any decent ones so made these based on the design of the original US ones 10mm rubber, 2mm tread plate.
