First advent sunday

After a really long walk to the vineyards with Lyra, where I played for hours, we headed back home in the snow, jumping and running down the white woods path to get into the warm house fast. I don't understand why everyone is cold, but then again, I do have the fur of a polar bear hihi.
Time has come to decorate our tree, something I haven't done yet, and all this decorations are just tempting to play with, but I wasn't allowed. Mean people! I did however manage to steal a few and nibble on them, but I got caught hihi.

I messed up the bed and for the record, glitter doesn't taste so good

Partners in crime hihi

Red ones don't have a good taste either:S

oh and I need to add a picture of me sleeping yesterday, after being with Lyra for 9 hours, the entire day, running, playing, barking, snow fighting, no rest...and I finally got to sleep!

...yes...I sleep with my eyes open if I use my ear as the pillow hehe

First SNOW!!!

Yesterday was sunny and today after we came home from the morning walk, as we were resting it started snowing. Me, I have never seen snow before in my life, so Maja decided to wake Mags from his afternoon nap and dress warm to go out. As we exited the house, everything was white! What is snow?? I sniffed and dug and jumped and well...I love snow!!! As we arrived in the park, noone was there, it was completely empty, so I was let of my leash to run as I wanted. I can eat it, I can pee on it, I can dig in it, I can run on it...snow is by far my most favorite thing! And I look pretty on it;)
It is so adorable how all of us dogs, we forget about everything and everyone when it's snow outside, we sniff eachother if we meet close by, but nothing catches our intrest at all, we all want to play with snow. We spent 2 hours outside just making snowballs and exploring, my feet were huge snowballs of fur. Cannot wait to get a good rest and go out again! So much fun this snow thingy;)

Met a new friend

Mags and I making a snowman, well trying to;)

Diploma day

We went to school today and since its only once more for the owners we received diplomas for the completion of puppy school. Lyra is visiting, so we are going crazy on the bed, playing till pillows fall apart. Lyra loves the bed, since at home she isn't allowed to be on one, we take advantage to run and throw eachother around on my owners bed...my bed hihi.

Lyra playing with me after school...do I seem lazy;)?

Yesterday we went to the vineyards for lunch and to greet Tara. We took short walks to see if she will start stepping on her operated foot already, since she was supposed to do it yesterday or today, which she did a little. So today we decided to go up for a little bit and take her for a motivating walk again. When we arrived up, me being all dirty and wet already since I just have to be a piggy in the woods, we realised Lyra was there also! Fun!! When we took a walk, Lyra, Emma and I ran like crazy, over all the mudd and water holes, but me being the only one who loved to lay on the back, I ended up being covered with dirt and mudd. My owners just laugh but the bad thing is, I cannot run around in the house when I'm this filthy. Here are some pictures of how much fun I have being a crazy dirty little dog thru the woods and in company of others;)

Chewing a stick and getting wet

People walk so slow...

Running like crazy on the muddy road, followed by Tara

Showing of as the dirtiest of all...

Week after

It's been a whole week now and half a day, my stiches are almost gone, just the main one remaining and I am already getting a bit of fluff on the area where I was shaved. Yesterday Tara had her operation and it went great! She was home fast, faster then they thought and is recovering amazingly! Haven't seen her yet, we think it's better to let her rest a bit. My owners went shopping a bit today and I got a very squeeky chicken toy...I have been driving them insane all evening...no seriously...ANNOYING squeeky toy is awesome hihihi. They can't even watch a movie hehe, so loud and annoying. I bet they regret buying it hihi. I am very healthy and very pretty, my body recovered fast and I have been full of energy all week. I mean that...full of energy. But they found a cure, on walks now when we take them, which is three times a day, I need to walk nicely by the leg and not pull, that really isn't fun so I get tired since I need to concentrate. I have been complimented by passing by people on how elegantly I walk...

NOOOOOO as I am writing this I have bitten into the squeeky part and it's not longer loud...no no no, hate it!!! (the owners seem happy haha, now they can watch their movie...with sound!)

Post op day

We had a bit of a panic yesterday, I started womitting and was shaking in coldness, so Maja called the vet and they told us to warm me up and call back. When I heated up to my normal temperature the little rascal in me came to life again. I was starving...and I mean starving! Haven't eaten for 20 hours and finally got my paetite back. Oh man I ate like crazy, drank and ate again. Then when I peed, I peed an ocean and started running around, playfully and healthy. Don't like the cone collar, in fact I really hate it, so I sit on the bed and whine till they take it off and pet me. I did fall asleep with it tho, streched over the bed with all my feet in the air, airing the shaved belly. Such a lovely sleep that was, but ofcourse my owners didn't get to sleep at all due to worries about me, so when we walked this morning they really didn't understand why I am so lively, hopping around with my batteries full. Hihi.
I am great, no blood discharge, or anything wrong, strong apetite, no pain, digestion perfect...and on my way to recovery.
The stiches I have are internal and will fall apart on it's own soon when the wound heals, so we don't need to go back to the vet for anything soon. Magnus is snorring at the moment finally able to rest a little poor thing, he was so worried yesterday, didn't even want to take his eyes of me for a second, Maja has given me so many kisses that I am officially overkissed hihi. So many benefits for this vet trip tho, I am being spoiled beyond discription, I have 24 attention and all the goodies I can think of, currently I am feasting on a fresh bovine bone, slamming it around while trying to grind my teeth, poor Mags, sleeping thru the sounds of bones flying hihihi. Yummy yummy bone!
I forgot to mention how complimented my fur was by everyone, how they said I looked royal and magnificant. I was however all combed and brushed and pretty...untill the first walk after the blood testing, then I got dirty wooohooo, love the mud! Hihi.
So to sum it all up.
Operation went great and painkillers made it superb after.
My lion fur is a breath taking. (I know I am perfect hihi)
I am spoiled and loved as if the day is no diffirent then any other.
Loving life...how could I not hihi

C day

I am home.
Operation went great, we didn't need to do the ultrasound since the vet was able to locate it without a problem today, luckily. I was a good boy at the vet, but I was so scared I was shaking everytime they examined me or gave me shots, anti stress and taking my blood. My paw was shaved to locate the vein, I have a bald spot there now, so uncool hihi. They made only one cut, due to the location of the other testical, so the wound isn't that big, I guess what bothers me the most is the fact that I cannot lick it, since I have to have the ugly patient collar on.
I am sleeping now, but I did gather my last strenght to protest the blanket on the floor and climbed on the cauch. My bed! Hihi. I got a strong dose of painkillers inside me so I am sleepy and resting now. Speak soon when I am more awake:).

Resting on my bed at home

Pre day

Finally able to relax, been tortured till now, I had to bathe! Clean ears! Be fully combed and then brushed over and over again....what a dreadful evening...I smell nice...Nice! Yuck, I hate smelling like shampoo hihi. (Need to find something really bad smelling as soon as possible to get a nice doggy smell back, somehow rolling on the clean parquette just doesn't do the trick.)
Tomorrow is my castration. the C day...eiiik. But let me tell you about our week first. Tara went to the vet with my owners, while I was being looked at by Maja's dad and Emma. Ofcourse being a little spoiled cuddlecake,  missing my owners, I kept running around, up the stairs, down the stairs, up the stairs and down again, untill I realised that if I jump into his lap, he doesn't have a choice but to get kissed hihi, so I did it everytime I ran up the stairs where he was. I am just that adorable hihi. Tara needs surgery, they need to replace the tie between meniscuses in the knee, which is torn and she is limping, so she is having surgery next thursday. Poor girl. But when I saw her today she was so cute and playful, she wiggled her tail like crazy and playfully nibbled on my body, while barking jealously at Emma for playing with me. Those girls are so cute.
We are catsitting Mao, he is black and white and really shy, I haven't met him yet, but I am pretty sure he will give me a few slaps before I know my limit hihi, not all cats are as tolerant as Liza and Ed.

Tomorrow at 7:30 we start driving towards the vet, we need to draw blood, to examine it, do an ultrasound to see where my tiny little second thingy is and then we operate, castrate. Ew I am sure every man hates that word hehe. I won't really know what is going on since I will be napping and before I will know it, Magnus and Maja will be there kissing me while I'm still drunk from the narcosis. Off to bed now, will speak again tomorrow after the op, which will go great and I will be up and running in no time:)

Dirty friends after play, look at the innocence hihi

I have become a real teenager, all I knew I no longer know, I love to misbehave and tease my owners a bit, hihi. Everyday as mentioned before we went to the vineyards where the girls and I played for hours, today was no exception, but today we also went to school, I was so tired, lazy and whiney tho, but still behaved in school, if you don't count some barking and complaining hihi. Emma is a true retriver, she is a bit of a hunter also, today she was digging a hole in a terrase and actually caught a little hamster, which she carried around in her mouth, but Maja made her let it go after some talk. He wasn't hurt or killed, just scared of being in a huge wet snout poor guy, haha, happy ending tho. He walked away and hid from us. Emma and I really like to get all wet and dirty, just being dogs to the maximum hihi. This season changes are so new to me, so many new scents and experiences, cannot wait for the first snow!

Season change

Leaves are all over and the nature is coloring itself brownish, it's beautiful and windy, making every stick, every leaf a toy for me. We have been spending a lot of time at the vineyards, playing and helping out. It's a holiday today so for the past three days we walked up to see Emma and Tara and Maja's parents. Yesterday we cut the vines and roses and I helped out so much by pulling every branch away and chewing it into smaller parts for easier carrying. I mean every stick...for 4 hours, everyone was shocked how much energy I actually have hihi. Tara's leg is painful again so she didn't want to run so much, instead she just bites my butt and puts my head into her huge mouth, scary but fun hihi. While Emma is completely crazy, I think she is my favorite playmate, we run like mad chasing eachother and if she is slower she gently bites my leg, that cheater hehe. We just grab a stick on both sides and run all the way down to the woods and back up, around the fruit trees and down again. Madness I tell you! S much fun!!!

Lyra is still ill, she has some snout infection so she cannot be with us, to keep the three of us from getting infected, but we miss her.
We got a Vet's appointment on the 11th, for the castration. Doom day! Oh well, needs to be done, I will be a bit sleepy, tipsy and then I wont even know what happened to me, so it will all go well. Need to run! Need to catch the last few sunny days.
