Otto and I inseparable

I have had many toys in my life, some of them are still with me, some I have destroyed or lost, but Otto...he is diffirent. I am in love with this toy as I loved my Mr. T, my first toy, which is still undestroyed and pretty. But Otto and I, we do everything together, we even play with other toys together, I have finally found a toy I can share my daily routines with hihi.

A few pictures, to demonstrate what I mean :

Getting ready for bed

A ball, Otto and half the ear being carried to bed

Cleaning and kissing the toys before sleep

and finally sleep...after squeeking a few times, since both of the toys still have a working squeeker, it is quite a nice presleep fun. But as you can see, my eyes are getting heavy so it's time to shut of the lights and snore on the pillows hihi.

Otto the octopus and paw care

On valentines day I was busy with the ladies, I just couldn't come back with enough energy to type, I just went straight to bed after hours and hours of play hihi. We did however go on our daily duck feeding tour and fed my friends again, poor guys do need some love too. We went all around the river areas and managed to get stuck in the snow, which made us jump while walking to find the safe road walk again, fun as hell, but very tiring hihi.

just a few of them comming our way

But today, today was a great day! I was spoiled royaly again! Magnus got me the best new toy ever, by Danish design, which is very soft and it squeeks, so much fun annoying people with it hihi. But my Otto....he is the best! This is how it looks like when it's clean:

...which he no longer is since I don't want to do anything without him hihi. I sleep with him, I keep him close when I eat, but now it smells nicely of cookies and kibble hihi. He is a small toy, so when I carry him around it seems as if the tentacles are growing from my snout hehe, so cool! Squeeekkk.

On top of the toy, my owners now also take care of my paws with a special padcream, since the salt and ice bruised my pads a little, I now also get foot massages! Hihi. Now my pads are soft and healthy!
And this way, I won't have to wear doggy boots just yet, gooood! All the dogs we met that had boots on, walked as if they were horses doing the spanish walk hihi.I am way too cool for that,...I hope hihi.


Ofcourse the day wouldn't be complete without some uber awesome Arden Grange crunchy bites cookies...aaaah ...I love my owners!

Squeek, squeek, squeek..Squeeeeeeeeeek!

Very tired, but cannot stop playing with Otto!

You can see how I have, what is called a winter nose, my cute black button of a nose turned a little pink on top, apperently it is normal for winter and will turn back to black with warmer temperatures, not that I don't look very pretty in pink! Hihi.
Otto and I are in bed already, we need to get some rest before tomorrows new squeeky adventures hihi.

Snow, grooming and fun fun fun

The weather has been crazy lately, the temperatures are very low, sometimes reaching minus 20, but I am loving it!
The snow has finally come back to us and I take every opportunity to dive into piles of it and play with every snowflake I can catch. We took this photos a few days ago, before the temperatures got so low, now the river is almost completely frozen.

You can see how all the ducks are gathered on the water, trying to hide from the winter. Including three very funny ducks, which we suspect ran away, since their breed is usually used for meat. We are happy they didnt end up as someones dinner, good for them! Hihi. They are quite easy to recognise though, one is black, one is white and one is white with black, perfect trio.

 Yesterday we went to a birthsday party of our friend Klemen, lots and lots of food! Oh yummy yummy food, which I ofcourse got plenty of since he loves me so much. He often buys me raw liver just to spoil me when we meet, and yesterday he made this amazing lunch for us, fun and tasteful food, followed by a nice walk in the park, perfect saturday evening.

 But today, after it snowed all night, there is a lot more snow, almost three times as much as on this video, so my owners decided it was time for a make over!
My head has been plucked completely, I now have the full cocker spaniel head groom, very short and pretty and my paws have been cut very short also, to avoid ice balls from forming and making me limp as they freeze between my paws on long walks. They still do, but not as much as before. Problem with my ex polar bear paws was they didn't air out enough and that was potentially the best place for fungus, so we sorted that hihi.

The walk up was breathtaking, noone walked thru the woods before us, so the only smells were from animals. Half way up my owners stopped and stared at something, and unlike lately when we meet a few deers today we met a whole family of 11 running infront of our eyes! A few days ago we met three, I stopped, barked once and then just watched them, tracking their scent, but today eleven of them, it was amazing! Their elegant hopping thru the high snow, their tiny white butts and pretty black eyes, just hopping infront of us, downhill. I smell them so strongly and I do try and track them a little, but I don't leave my owners unless permitted hihi. I have been going so crazy in the woods, I managed to rip my jacket three times already hehe. I hate the damn thing, but it keeps me warm so it's okay I guess hihi.

Tara and Emma go crazy in the snow also, we just dive and roll, play like mad untill we are stopped since it can be dangerous, but the owners do make it up to by throwing snowballs we can chase. Man oh man do I love snowballs, it's like never ending tennis balls one doesnt need to carry, what a blast!
And then....I sleep like a cat, 12 hours of complete comfort and warmth, food, sleep, walk, play, food, sleep, walk, play, sleep...Winter is so awesome hihi. Apart from paw washing everytime we come back home, to get rid of the salt from the streets.

I am already in bed, dinner has been eaten, so I can rest untill I feel like waking up, Liza keeps sleeping on my belly so it's harder to wake up, hihi, I do enjoy being cuddled by her and on my bed, well my owners bed, which is my bed, I claim it hihi, there is so much animal love, it's the most relaxing place to sleep. Which I am currently very much enjoying doing hihi.
But before I forget:

Happy norwegian mothers day, I hope you spent it well, you do deserve to be spoiled also hihi.
