Slovenian Seaside

Today we took a long roadtrip to the slovenian seaside, where I have for the first time met the salty sea.
We started early, and I was still very sleepy from yesterdays walk with Emma, we walked around 15 kilometers all around the cities hills, it was wonderful. We wanted to bring Tara also, but we were afraid her knees weren't up for the challange, sadly. So today we sat in the car, drove to the the pet store to buy cookies and a safety belt for the car for me, then headed off to the coastal area, about 2 - 3 hours away. You can see my safety gear on the picture, very safe for driving and I look very stylish in it hihi.

After a few pee stops, we finally arrived to Piran, a small charming town surrounded by sea. First thing we did, and this hasn't yet happened is I got my own icecream scoop! Dogs are not allowed icecream since it's not the healthiest for us, but my owners said today was a special day. I got a yogurt scoop and loved it! I loved it so much, that the tourists started taking pictures of me, since I was so cute eating it hihi.

That icecream was the best thing anyone can ask for in the scorching heat...well, a close first place with the sea swimming hihi.

After the icecream, we walked around a bit and I just had to pose a little for the german tourists, it's not everyday someone gets to see how cute I am. Hihi.

And then we went to the local Church to see the view and found this cute rock beach under it, where dogs were allowed to swim in...the fun began!

It took me a few minutes to get used to the waves but then we began to form a good relationship, I went up when a wave came and down after it passed and it also brought me sticks and my ball back, nice of them. Hihi.

Magnus and Klemen also join me in the swimming, Maja stayed outside taking pictures instead, I don't blame her, it was a moment to be captured on film hihi.

So much fun, if you take away the yucky taste of the water, but I kept spitting it out si it was fine hihi.

After a very good work out swim, we headed back thru those tiny streets and found a cute pizzeria, where I was put to another test, how will I behave in a resturant. And yes you were correct, I was the most polite, non begging pooch, laying down, drinking my water and nibbling on the pizza crust which my owners and Klemen gave me. I looked at other dogs who passes us by, but didn't care much and continued to behave like a champ. Ofcourse I wouldn't be me, if I didn't shake my rear at some tourists after getting all wet, but they just giggled at it so no harm was done. And I wouln't be me if someone didn't ask if I was a cocker and then commented how huge I am for the breed hehe, what can I say, I was raised with a lot of love, therefor I am huge hihi.
Slowely we drove back home, I spent almost the entire trip sleeping, as you can see:

Stopping for donuts on the way back made my tummy even happier, today was a yummy yummy day, and now I am safely at home, sleeping like an overcooked macaroni, I have earned my rest. What a beautiful advaturous day!

I am one of the 1000 cutest pets in the world

A while ago, my owners decided to post my picture in a pet competition, which we completely forgot about. And tonight they have asked for our permission to publish my picture in the collection book of 1000 cutest pets in the world! Told you I am beautiful hihi and now it's official!
I am cute! Hihi. Proud!

Lunar Eclipse

Tonight at 23:03 we were at the park in complete darkness watching the most beautiful moon I have seen so far in my life. It looked somewhat like this:



The park was empty, only met two people in it, we had fun and ran around. It was fun, since I have never been in the park at night durring summer.



Today has been a long and energic day, we went mushroom picking and Lyra came with, which means we ran and went crazy. We met cows, but Lyra kept barking at them so I was scared. But I did manage to be a dog, as awesome as I can be, and got some cow poop smudged into my ears and feet...hihi. We all know what that means! Bath-time with extra shampoo, haha but that didn't help, I still smell a little hihi!
We are catsitting Mao, a black and white cat, who is very scared of us, he frightens me a little also, since he isn't as tolerant as my cats, but he is getting there, I am sure we will soon be friends hihi. Oh ow...combing time for me, boo...write soon.

Chicken Toothpaste

Today my owners finally got fed up with my morning breath, hihi. I have slept a lot past few nights, since we have been very active during the days and like everyone my morning breath was quite smelly hihi. My pearly whites are beautiful and we do need to take care of them so I can enjoy them all life long. So off they went to the pet store to get me some Virbac encymatic toothpaste, which smell soooooo good, I just want to eat it! They also bought me another toothbrush, for kids hehe, it's pretty and blue with a teddybear on the cover, since I didn't really like the finger toothbrush they tried it with a normal one and we had fun! Vetenarians say dog's teeth should be brushed as often as twice a day, but they also say once per week is realistic, so we will start off easy to see how well I adjust to the routine. I have to admit, they did put a lot of effort into the taste,

since it's like eating chicken pate, I have absolutely no problem just eating it without the brushing part hihi, but I know, that's not the point.
Our days will be fun now, all three of us at the sink brushing our teeth together hehe. But since my owners cannot resist to spoil me with other goods, cats got a lot of food and snacks and I got Huhu Bam Boo's also!!

One year since I arrived home

Today marks exactly one year since I stepped foot into my home. Small, pretty and ready to be spoiled.
If we go down the memory lane and recap the year, my growth and develpment, we will all realise I am the perfect dog hihi.
In one year since I arrived with my owners, I have :
- not once destroyed any furniture
- not once do any permanent damage in the house
- not once ran away and had to be searched for
- not once acted agressive towards my owners
- not once bit a dog, unless it was playful
- not once hurt any creature we met in nature
- not once cried as a puppy, sad due to being taken away from my mommy
- not once not showed my owners I really love them
- not once made them regret for picking me...

the list could go on forever, but I will rather sum up what I have become, instead of what not:)
I have developed into an oversised cocker spaniel, who is quite a lot bigger for it's breed, guess that's what being a first born and twice the size of my sisters and brothers was predeterment, I am loved, with the softest fur, it's shocking how soft I am, like a baby blanket. I smell amazing, my natural scent that is, not the dead fish rubs I have sometimes hihihi. I am the most friendly dog to other dogs, I obey abnormally much for a one year old, the communication we have among ourselfs in this home is amazing, we get along so well with cats and owners. I have a special talent to be the dirtiest dog alive, most of the times, I enjoy almost everything we do, apart from ear cleaning and often bathing, but I tolerate and not make a fuss. Even tho I am spoiled and sometimes beg for food when people eat, or want to semi lay on an empty chair during lunch, I have been raised really well. My owners did an amazing job with me, teaching me by example and trhu play, they go the extra mile for my comfort and trust and I repay them with behaving. It has been all about love and I am loved. I am so very loved. Maja says I have been the best bday gift she ever got. Happy bday to her today, and I will try and be a good boy from now on also, the life which I have couldn't be compared. My family is amazing, sleeping next to Liza every night, chasing and annoying Ed when he is cranky, learning about diffirent tastes and situations, claiming my pillow on the bed, being hugged. if the expression "it's a dogs life" means this...then I hope all pups out there get to live this way. I am loved. Woof! Hihi.
