Dogsitting Sophie

Yesterday we got up and Sophie, the parsson jack russel 6 months old puppy visited our home at 10:30 am. Her owners had a funeral, so we decided to help them out by dogsitting little Sophie and going for a long walk, so the girl isn't stressed too much. We all know we dogs feel pain others are in.

Sophie, being herself, was full of energy, so we had to calm her down when she arrived, but after a few minutes I started kissing her and wanted to play. Off we went to a long long walk. She was such a good girl, walked nicely on a leash, playfully running with us and trying to nip my ears for some attention.

We walked to the hanging bridge, where we posed like the cool pups we are hihi

Since I am older, I needed to teach the little lady how to get completely dirty and get away with it, so I showed her the dirtiest ponds and mud baths, she liked them hihi.

And tails up we went thru the woods, sniffing, exploring, running and enjoying the fresh air.

Not to be shakespearian but to be cute or not to be, isn't even the question for us. It just comes easy to pups like us hihi.

We ended our trip in the big park, playing with tennis balls for half an hour before her owner came to get her, we snacked, ran, chased and we were totally tired. What a good day it turned out to be for us dogs, we came home at around 3 pm, and I just went to bed. I was woken for dinner and the walk after, but fastly returned back to bed after hihi.

Models and grapes

A few days ago Nina, Maja's sister borrowed our in door greenhouse for a fotoshoot of some models, who hired her to take pictures. Lyra was here, we were playing like mad, running around interupting everyone, tugging the cloth they had and just being pretty assistents. Eventually, after a few hours, Lyra fell asleep under the piano in the living room and I was unable to wake her for more play, hihi.

I should be a doggy model hihi

Today, we woke up early and walked towards the vineyards. We had promised to pick the grey Pinot grapes, for Maja's family friends, who didn't have enough for their big barrel. We worked very hard and picked over 150 kg of grapes for them, of which ofcourse I helped by eating them from the buckets hihi.
Dogs shouldn't be eating grapes and most definetly should not even taste raisins, but a little of it doesn't hurt, especially if stolen from owners hihi. After a long working day, humans sat down to eat and play a few card games, it got so darn hot outside, we were all just hiding inside. I fell asleep on Maja's lap, after climbing into a chair next to her and slept like a baby for a while. After the power nap, Tara, Emma and I started playing again...boy oh boy were we playing, barking, growling, jumping and just being crazy energy dogs. So much fun!
It started getting dark, so we had to leave for home. But spending 11 hours outdoors felt amazing! We got home, I ate dinner and now I am asleep and dreaming, such a perfect day.

Stung by a bee

It has been so long since I wrote a blog, mostly due to the abnormal heat wave that overcame our country, when it's 35 degrees celsius for weeks, one doesn't really have a lot of energy to do much.
It's a bit cooler today so we decided to walk up to the vineyards for a little fun and to see if we can help out with the vines. I ofcourse am of big help, I carry all their wood sticks prepared for the barbeque into the house, since I want to play fetch, this way humans don't need to search for a stick to throw hihi.
Past few weeks have been hot and long, but there has been a few very exciting days, the vineyard house has an old pool, which is mostly a pond nowdays, since it needs a lot of repairs, so Magnus and Maja decided to clean it out so I can swim a little in the fresh water. No worries, we saved all the frogs and it's already back to dirty from our doggy mudbaths hehe.
But today! Today was the first time I got stung by a bee, we now know I am not allergic hihi, but the silly thing hit my eyebrow, and my eye ended up swallen like a balloon...keep in mind, that didn't stop me from running around like crazy and delivering sticks to the people hihi. My eye is already fine, the swelling went down in a few hours and now I am enjoying my afternoon nap, I deserve it, I was very sporty today hihi.
A few days ago, we went for a walk with Sophie, Lyra, Andreja, Nina, Mags and Maja and me being me, I got either bitten a little or I hit myself, which resulted in a pink wound which can be seen on the picture below, I am not worried, I am sure it will turn back to brown once it heals.
Maja and I have a very hygenic routine now, every night before sleep we do the "yummy yummy", which is the name for my chicken flavoured toothpaste, we brush our teeth and go to bed. I lovvveeeee my toothpaste, but I am still getting used to having my back teeth cleaned, I admit tho, I do enjoy our routine...it taste soo gooooddd! Hihi.

Brush once a day and have white pearls like me, hihi

Barking makes me look funny...

Can I get a cookie pretty pleaaaaseee? Hihi

Here are some cute pictures we took in our greenhouse, which is next to the kitchen...us pets always make a mess there and the cats climb all over and make the floor dirty, but no harm done. But these pictures are just so that noone forgets how abnormally pretty I am hihi.

Chairs were made for animals hihi

Oh yes they were! Hihi

Liza and me enjoying the jumps of them
