Chef Pascal À la carte

Magnus is safely home, they did have a flat tire on the way, but managed to get home slowely and safely. The road was foggy, so they were extra cereful! I wasn't told he was comming home, so when he walked thru the dorr at 1am in the morning, i went crazy, barked, happy jumped and licked him completely. My Magsy was home. So I brought him toys and got him down on the floor to kiss him. I was soooooooo happy. I am complete now. Once we settled down, we had the late dinner that Maja and I were making, oven baked salmon and other goodies, which didn't intrest me so much hihi. I ate soooo much salmon, that pink fish is really one of my favorites! Amazing that xmas is coming, we spend so much time inside doing fun stuff, since it's dark fast and we already got spoiled with two unopened packeges from norway and cookies, which have a little crack on the box so we can steal a few out without opening the box and I got to taste one, yum yum yum hihi. Very soon we will put up a tree and put gifts under, and christmas will be here soon, cannot wait!!!

Today, after a long rest and some slacking we made home made pasta, Mags is like a kid with it, it's fun watching him roll those piles of dough and make them into yummy strings. I eat everything that falls on the floor before owners see it haha. I see it as I am doing good, since we won't need to vaccuum the floors hihi. Because I am not allowed to eat uncooked pasta, boo.

I am becoming quite the kitchen master chef to be honest, especially since we had to dry the pasta on the freezer, because there was so much of it. But I consider myself quite the cook and I will let the pictures speak for itself:

Winter planting...

... has begun. I am so happy, I get to dig and get all dirty again. Of all the human work I consider planting things my favorite, second to it is weeding. I am very proud to bring back every root that people throw away hihi. Maja finally got a hold of her favorite tree nursery, due to floods they needed some time to recover afterwards, so she has ordered something none of us have ever seen before. A pink blueberry!

Our new pink blueberry, yum yum blueberry pie!

Her mom also got her 4 other blueberry sorts which she does not have, which means five holes to dig. Are you aware how dirty I will be, hihihhi I cannot wait yay. And the best part is when all six of these blueberries, including the one she already has, will give fruit, that will be so many cookies and pies my tummy will hurt hihi, going to be a good sweet year. And our little project, if u disregard the tiny avalanches which pull down the edges of the soil, is becoming a true healthy vitamin infused sanctuary. Which brings me to the second thing which arrived today. Magnus is not home yet, but he was kind enough to give Maja an early christmas gift. And many might not understand why this is special, but to enjoy life to the fullest, one must eat like a king everyday. So Magnus being sweet and kind, he got Maja a pasta maker machine. The one she wanted. And trust me, I have tasted the homemade pasta, it is absolutely deliscious! And now it will be done in a few minutes.
I have also learnt the diffirence in taste from Al dente and egg pasta. Not that I care much about pasta history, but it's good to know how Al dente isn't a style, but preparation where the dough is only water and flour, which I have to say isn't as good as the pasta with eggs instead of water, hihi just my preference, since I love eggs.

Our new pasta maker, hihi, let the learning beging

So today, we are walking up with the machine, and starting to test it out, I love this part. All the pasta will be tested by us doggies also, ofc! Missing Mags is not nice, but Maja gets borred when it's cold outside so she experiments with cooking, making me very happy indeed hihihihi. Today will be a good day, cannot wait for afternoon!

Update:)

 Not much has happened lately, no snow anymore, floods went away and cold but sunny days are back. We have been treating my ears with Beforex and Otomax for the past two weeks, hoping it will this time be better in both ears.

We had another vet's visit yesterday, but I was more interested in the toys they have in their shop then showing my ears to anyone, but I know it had to be done, so I showed them. We also took swipes of both ears, which showed one, this time the right ear has a little bit of a yeast infection, which isn't a surprise since the medication is so wet. But good news, it's very little and the left ear looks good.

We have stopped with Beforex today and will only continue with Otomax in the right ear untill we run out, once we do we need t go back and do another check up and hopefully that will be it hehe.

We made a few bird feeders and the birds are completely in love with them, they keep singing and bickering for their turn to feed. It's really magical and relaxing watching the birds with fat bellies sit a meter away from us.

The nature's colors are starting to change into my fur color, so I can completely camouflage myself in the woods on the walks. I have been working on my hunting sences, I actually managed to scare away a deer, but she was too fast for me hehe. Not that I would hurt any animal, oh no, that is just not allowed, but the exercise while chasing them is fun and good for me, however if I am called back to my owner, I must return no questions asked! And I do, hihi I am a good boy.

The season of planting has started, Maja already got a few blueberry bushes ready for when Mags returns and we can plant them together, which means digging, soil, mud and me being sooooo dirty again woohooo, cannot wait. Maja often refers to me as the dirtiest dog she has ever known, since I find it extremely fun to get really muddy and turn into chocolate color haha,but nothing a good bath wouldn't sort. The truth is, I am a fun loving guy, who has fun 95% of his time, the rest I sleep haha. But since my ears are so much better, I have been feeling a lot more energic then before, so I don't even bother to try and be clean lately. But with the new mostoriser for my fur, Maja has been quite happy with bathing me lately, since then I smell so nice for so long. I have to admit I am not the biggest fan but when it's just her and me, I know I cannot get away with begging Mags for help or hide behind him hehe. So it is done when she says it haha. Which isn't that hard, since she playing with me so much, it feels nice to give something back. Especially since we eat pancakes after hehe, or something equally yummy. I think I gained a little weight, according to vet's advices origano is great for yeast infections, it reduces the fungy in the system, so Maja and I have been sharing a few pizza crusts, hihi, something Mags would be very careful with giving me, he is quite the serious type when it comes to table feeding, like he should be, but Maja is completely weak and always shares hehe, she always said she never wants a dog with sad eyes, coz they can manipulate and what am i? I am the dog that makes the saddest eyes and yelps haha. But she is very strict otherwise so I guess I have it great. Well I know I do hihi.

Mags is soon home, and the winter will begin, and then it's christmas, yaaaay I already have a pretty red doggy tie which will make me look elegant and pretty. Cannot wait for all the baking to begin hihi.

This is where my owners will plant more trees soon

Confussing the cam who to zoom in hehe

My colors fit right in hihi

Sirens in the rain

A few days ago as the snow started melting, the rivers rose and Slovenia started being covered with smaller floods around the bigger rivers. Today, the rain begun to be more severe and for the first time in my life, I have heard the alarming sirens blowing, informing people that floods are comming and people should move to safety. Quite a frightening feeling, that sharp sound. Once the rain stopped a little Maja and I went out to check our local rivers, see how close to the edge of the river beds they actually are. I wasn't the only doggy in a raincoat hihi.

Once we got to the start of the promenade, there were so many people with umbrellas there we couldn't really see. I was nervous but curious. We walked to the edge, which was almost flooded. The local river has risen to the point of spilling. And then the rain started again.

The news is reporting record river flows in this country, and worst i yet to come, with Austrian dams being unable to hold water. The biggest river in Slovenia has an avarage flow of 1300m3 per second, at the moment it is flowing with 2000m3 per second and destroying what ever it meets. It is reported to expend to 2900m3 per second soon.

It is weird, when we woke up it was almost sunny and 20 degrees outside, preparing to be a nice warm day and then it turned to disasterous. It is sad to see the houses being flooded, but atleast the cattle and other farm animals have been evacuated from most flood places hihi.

We will be safe no matter what, in ancient times people built houses on hills and rocks, aware of natural powers and the damage the nature is able to do. So in the old center, we are dry and far from water. But a long time ago, before I was even born there was a catastrophic flood in our town, which flooded cellars, the hospital, morgue and everything it could get into. So hopefully this wont happen again.

Maja went to the store to buy me water in bottles, in case of polluted water alert, where the water from tap needs to be boiled pre use. When she came to the store, the water bottle shelfs were empty, the people of the town are aware of what is comming and have bought out supplies before hand. She did however manage to get the last six pack of them so the cats and me will drink safe water hihi.

A few pictures of the river state at 5 o'clock today.

Water is to the edge

No matter the catastrophe, I am still posing pretty hihi

Bridge to the big park, 2 sets of stairs under water

Never seen so many people in the park before
