Crab business...

...is serious business. Hihi. But to begin with my day. We overslept our alarms and woke up at 10, so it was a bit hotter then we wanted it to be. But we packed the iPad and our waters and left the house, the temperature outside was high already, but we still went. Maja keeps checking my head if I am running in the sun, so I don't get too hot. But before we knew it, jumping from shade to shade where there walked, we were in the forest. Hadn't met any animals, but we could hear them all over. We made one big stop, to drink and relax, we figured it was smart with the air being this hot. When we arrived, I just layed down under the kitchen table and listened to the people talking. After a while, Maja and I headed down to the forest to water our veggies and plants. I got to play with the hose again, spraying it all over me, making me unimaginably dirty hihi. Love it! But it was lunch time so we had to go back up and eat, no complaints there hihi.

Lunch over so it's time for some serious work, we took a metal pot with us so we could make a little pool for birds or animals to drink from, with fresh water from our brook. It's a tiny brook, with cold fresh water, which get's very dry during summer, but there is always water in it. As we started digging out a path in the water, we got greeted by a freshwater crab! Never saw a crab before. Maja held it up for me so I could sniff it, but eh...it smelled like water and mud. But not as bad as me hihi. I was told to be gentle and slow around it, so we don't hurt it...and I was.

Mr. Crab

Me walking so slow to it that he is not even in the pic hihi

Respecting eachothers space

After we gathered enough water in the semi called pool we made, we put it in so it got cooled and refreshed, but we took him out in case he wanted to go to his "home", since the brook's water wasn't flowing thru the pool and onwards to the forest yet.  Maybe he will be in the pool next time we go check. After the meeting with crab, we started clearing out the forest, we set free the baby spruce trees by cutting older invasive branches of other trees around, we worked hard, for about 6 hours. We were exhausted, but we had to water the plants again, since today was 36 degrees they needed a little more then usual. After everything was watered enough to last two days, we headed back up to put things we used away, the tools and gloves needed to be in their place for next time we go work hihi. We made a few pictures and I look pretty as usual hihi.

Checking out watermelons, wanting to play with them hihi

Water hose + watermelon mulch = proof on ears and beard;)

Playing with the next best thing, unripe apples

Just posing coz I am cute hihi

I am the best digger in the wolrd!

Tilting head for uber cutness hihi.

Once we sorted everything, we started walking down, I was chasing around the pinecone I found and once we got to the road, we met a squirrel up on a nut tree, she was a loud eater! Hihih. She ran away with her huge nut, tiny body and very fluffy tail, kept making chewing sounds though haha. By the river with met Flor, who wasn't as happy to see me as I was to see her, but I know better then to annoy the lady. Dinner was gone superfast and then I just...fell asleep.

Acana & cakes

I was spoiled by our mutual friend by some new tasty food, which led my owners to read about it and they dicovered, that the Arden Grange which I have been eating, is tested on animals and well, you know how that goes...so not a chance any of us wants to be a apart of something which is remotely cruel to animals, we have switched to this amazing food, called Acana. This will be the first time I had my food changed since I came to my home, but like my owners say, best dog in the world, deserves the best food in the world. No debate hihi. This switching has to be done gradually, so we are adding the new food to the old untill my tummy is adjusted. The new food is amazing, I am so happy with it, it's made of atleast 55% meat, without gluten or salts. The meat if from wild and free range animals and whole eggs, which I love! The smell is amazing, so I eat the new food out of the bowl first and then the old hehe. Looking forward to the new portions of food being solely made with new food, yum yum. And this way we don't need to feel bad about the animals around the world and my new food is one of the best one can find anywhere. I will be even healthier and happier. On top of that I have tasted two new fish, which Maja ate, one is gilthead and one is bass and I have to admit, I really love fish. Ofcourse Maja checks for bones before I get it which makes it slower, but I think fish are worth the wait hehe.

 

Every second, or third day in the week we go for very long walks over the hills surrounding the city park. The temperatures have spiked up to 34 degrees again, so city living is unbareable. The humidity is up to 40% making it impossible to breathe normally. So the evening walks in the cooler shady forest are very relaxing and amazing. After those long walks, we made it into a habit to stop at the cake shop by the river, on the way back. We order cake and icecream to reward ourselfs, from which I get the cookies, a little bit of cream and icecream bits hihi. Just enough to be happy for it, and too little to get my tummy upset. I behave so nicely, I lay down, watch dogs on the walk and wait for my sweet rewards while people chat around me. I love these walks, long, exhausting and yummy at the end. When we get home I get my dinner, when it's cooler outside and I actually enjoy it that way nowdays in this heat. We are awaiting Mags retun which is less then two weeks now, I miss him so badly, it's just not the same. Man oh man I am going to kiss him untill he is completely wet hihi, so soon now and we will have our boy time again, playing and doing manly stuff like getting dirty and I miss sleeping on his chest and over his legs. But we have been keeping busy with lots of fun stuff and I got to be dirty almost everyday, hihi. I am completely addicted to waterhoses, with which you water the garden, they are the best thing invented since swimming pools. Hehe.

Hardworking week

This week, we had an idea of a project, for some reason Maja and I share the need to always do something and we barely sit still while we are not home hehe. So this week we took on a challange of fixing the cellar, which was decayed and half the walls were rotten and moisty.

Cellar walls before restoration

 So we made a list of things we needed and started the patch work on the walls. The material was like whipped cream, easy to apply and ofcourse I had it all over me, since I am the assistent hihi. After a few days, when we cleaned it out and patched the walls, we begun painting the walls in a light green color, as is our bedroom at home, we love that color. It's very happy and relaxing. And then we painted the floors in a grey color, to cover the ugly old floor. And this is how it looks like today, after me being washed and not allowed to enter the last hour of the finishing touches hehe.

Pretty restored cellar

And now all we need to do is get new shelves and pretty boxes to put things in, cannot wait hihi.
