Mum always says that we are so cute, me and my grandpa Lennox, when we are waiting for dinner! If dinner is involved, even grandpa wants to be cute and accepts a fototoot. If he smells dinner or something else to eat… well… mum says that’s because he is a labrador! 😉

So mum wants a very good picture of the two of us, grandpa being old and all that… She tried it in the dogpark, in the green grass… no way.. Okay, before dinner, she says! Hahahaha! Grandpa waited and waited for his dinner! hahahahahaha… I don’t mind, but he… hahahahaha! In the end I was very bored and he started talking about the dinner! 😉

A good picture of the two of us? You can dream about that… Reality? Mmmmm…??? Anyway, we were waiting for dinner! Pics and film of dinner are for tomorrow!!

Now the good picture of the two of us???

When the weather is good, the mums and dads fill empty plastic bottles with water, at home and then they bring it to the dogpark. That’s for us! The water is! Normally not the bottles… But sometimes one of my friends gets a bottle and we can play with it. I used to steal one too if I could, when I still was a baby… Now I’m a lady and I don’t steal bottles anymore! 😉

Because I forbid you… otherwise!!!

So, since I’m a lady I don’t steal them anymore, whatever mum says! But if I find one in the middle of the dogpark, I can play with it! Mum just wants me not to chew on it! So, yesterday I found one! And played with it! Mum took pics and made a little comic with them! I added the comments of course, that’s my part of the job! 😉

This afternoon we went to the dogpark! Nothing new of course! That’s what you think!

When we came in, I saw a new dog, with a big ball! But the new dog was on the leash?? His name is Cino, his dad was telling. Cino is two years old and he is a rescue! He is only for week with his new dad. His dad says he is still a teenager and a bit dominant, so his dad is very, very careful. Mum likes careful mums and dads. She knows everything about a new rescue dog because of our bit dominant grandpa Lennox in his younger days. 🙂

But Cino and me, we became friends in no time of course! I’m a lady and friendly! Although I say this myself! Ladies welcome new dogs, especially rescues! That’s very important to make them feel welcome and happy! Grandpa’s wisdom. But grandpa did not play today! 😦  He and dad stayed a bit away to prevent difficulties! 🙂 I played carefully, as I should! 🙂

Anyway, Cino and me we played… little bit away from my mum and his dad and far away from grandpa! But mum had the blinking box ready and she said she zoomed in! What on earth is that?

After a while, we went home! When mum put me on the leash to leave the park, she laughed and laughed and laughed. She said I had a new beard. 😦  I barked to tell her to stop laughing and to go home! So we did! At home, I still had my new ‘willow-beard’. Then I could grin with it too! 🙂

No, it’s not mum’s birthday! Grandpa says it’s not Christmas or New Year! We don’t get it! There is a parcel for mum in today’s post…

She seems very happy with it! She says it comes from the other end of the world. Grandpa grumps… world has no end he says… Anyway, the parcel comes from very far away! And who sent it? Well, it was Aerem’s mum… You remember? Sweet Aerem who went to the rainbow Bridge not long ago! So his mum sent the package! Grandpa and I, we can have a close look! 🙂

I should have known! I really should have known… She is a library-mum, my mum. So, in parcels, most of the time, well… you know! Yes, there is a book in this parcel too! Mum shows it from a little further away! 😉 I get all excited! There are friends on it, airedalefriends! Oh, beautiful dales!
Mum says she will read it soon! She says there is a very sweet and kind little text in the book, written by Aerem’s mum herself. She says: Wonderfull!!!!:-) ❤

Mum, and can I have the cardboard now to play with? I did wait patiently, didn’t I?  Aerem’s mum especially put cardboard around it for me, to play with! You understand that, don’t you?

Yes, I can! When I finished playing, mum had a lot of cleaning to do… 😉

There is that fan of me in Berlin… She is a bit special: she comes from the States and lives in Germany now. She absolutely adores airedales, but the poor misses, she has not one of her own! Oh, I think that is a big pity! That’s why she adores me so much and I love her! She often writes me: on my story-page and on the tv-typing-machine-book!

So when I asked to help me to surprise my mum… Remember, when I asked to break that record and then we broke two records??!!! She did help of course. And then she asked my help too! 🙂 Isn’t that great? Me, helping someone? I like it!! 

So, on very special demand, I asked my mum to help me out and to make another pawplunger-video, especially for my friend in Berlin!

Here you go, Berlin!!! 😉 🙂 ❤

Some moments are a bit strange at the beach… Especially Easter-day was strange at the beach! I could not run off the leash and we could not go to France! Beach was occupied :-(… kind of race…
A gentle sir, putting flags on the beach, imagine!!!, explained that I had to be put on the leash for safety. I suppose so, yes, mum had to be kept safe and that was my duty! Sir was very right! Mum could not go in the race, that was a clear thing. I was glad he saw that too and explained it to mum. She would certainly not believe me! 😉

So we went to another part of the beach: other beach-cars with flags… 😦  Mum, it’s not safe here. And then, there were bizar birds in the air, making strange noises! So I barked.

In the end we went into the dunes, we rest a bit and we made fototoot-selfies! 🙂 Returning home we met doggie-auntie Jara again! 🙂 What a walk!

Easter and nice weather? This spring is really great! Yes, we went to the seaside for more than one day!! Imagine the excitement! grandpa, did you hear it?!
And now I have stories to tell! Several days of work at the tv-typing-machine: it’s too much for one story… And no, this time I didn’t almost drown, I was careful! 🙂

One walk, there was a lot of wind, that’s not new at the coast, mum says! But that makes a rather rough sea. Not all fish are stong enough to stay in the water, mum says… Maybe they want to be dry, just like me? Mum laughs at me! She said to remember Moby Dick!… Indeed, he never came out off the water, so fish like to be wet, I suppose…

Anyway, mum said the beach seemed a real sushi bar this time… oh yes,I saw that! I sniffed at every fish! Mum always said: leave it! But that was not necessary! Fish weren’t good enough to eat! Fish were not fresh and a little bit smelly! So I peed on them every time to tell doggie-friends who come later not to eat them. Soon,  I had no pee left… (And, no, Sam and Ike from Wyoming, I did not roll in them, I’m a lady!)

But then!!! There was the huge thing in the middle of the huge beach. Mum did not put me on the leash so I could have a look long before her. The big thing is full of mussels, a real mussels-shop! hahahaha! Mum arrives and she is very surprised. Mussels are still fresh because she wanted to take one but it does not want to let loose. Mum says that this human thing must have been long in the sea because it became a mussel bed. Can I take one too?
My dogness, that’s not easy! That’s why she allows me to try… Gggrrrr.

PS Remark my old harness! 😦 I have to wear that because mum does not want the good one to drown again! Ggggrrrrr

Weather is fine, mum is not to work… sounds good, doesn’t it? Yes, we go to the dogpark this afternoon! Who will be there? No, mum, I don’t pull on the leash, you are dreaming that. Walk a little faster, will you?!

Look, mum! There he is! I saw him as a puppy! That’s labradoodle Mambo! Let’s party! This guy is ten months old and likes to play! His big sister acts like a real mum although she is only about 11 years old. Mum, look at that: she has her leash around her waist! And Mambo has a bizar collar! What do you say? It’s a gentle leader? I know, that’s for babies pulling on the leash too much! I never had one, had I mum?
Mambo is a handsome fellow! Mum likes him too, he looks a bit like a giant schnauser and she loves them!

We played, me and Mambo, I can tell you that, we were exhausted, both of us! And mum made pics and a video of us, she promised to show them on the tv-typing-machine. She wrote down on a paper where the little mum had to go and have a look! She will show it Mambo too, mum?

Meet me and labradoodle Mambo, I mean: meet Mambo and me!

Mum, he does not stay for the fototoot!
