Hurray for the city-gardeners!… Wood-business is great these days!

Geplaatst door Patricia Dale in Dag in, dag uit en getagd met

Yesterday morning was great! Morning walk was great. We did not go to the huge dogpark, but we went near river Scheldt. Love that too! And yesterday, my wood-business was terrific! Thanks to the city-gardeners who did a lot of work. It’s spring here, you know. Early in spring, and then wood-business is the trend! 

Most spectacular?! City-gardeners left all the wood for me to inspect. They know this city-lady has wood-skills! And experience! 😉 Had quite some work to do though! But in the end I was really satisfied and happy! Great work done! 
I even posed, smiling, for a nice pic!

PS Dusty and Maurice, you see what’s in the background???

City-lady Kita goes in… urban sciences.

When we return home from the huge dogpark, we take a shorter way. I want to show you something special! In Antwerp most of the humans love animals: lots of fenced dogparks and the huge one where me and mum go now. But doggies live in the house with the humans!

Humans live in apartment buildings in our city, big buildings with lots of houses! Well, here in Antwerp pigeons have their own apartment buildings! They have their own house in a big building! Yes, they do! And on the ground they have their own restaurant: white bowls with grains in it and their own bar: white bowls with water! 🙂

Me? I like to sniff around over there but I do not frighten the pigeons. They stay where they are when I’m passing by! 😉 Nice neighbours!

PS The only low building you see in the pics is… the public library of our district! 🙂 

 

Deep holes?… Not my cup of tea! :-(

For a saturday morning we were very early at the dogpark. I was up early, so mum was up early too! ( 😦 )

At first there were no friends, so I was running around, found a ball and inspected some holes. Think I have to find an interim inspector for the holes, to replace me in this business… It’s not my cup of tea, really not. 😦
That’s what mum says, she laughed and filmed… I think ball-business is more like me… 🙂

 

She promised, my mum and… she did!

This is a very big fototoot! Remember my mum promised to go to the Scheldt with a long leash, so I could wet my paws in the river without mum falling and sliding down in the water too? Mum kept her promis! We went there twice! Once when tide was low, that’s what the promise was about and once when tide came in and was high! That’s to show you the difference! 😉 And for my pleasure of course.

Mum made a lot of pics: blinking box was in a very good mood. At least for the pictures, it did not want to film though. 😦 Mum, fans can imagine the film, can’t they, when they see how I climbed? I was in the stone-climbing-business which is more difficult than tree-climbing! I was acting as an acrobat, mum said… Think she was a bit afraid…

Dangerous acrobat!

What do you say mum? A dangerous fototoot? Not to repeat? Why not? I think it was exciting! 😉 But I agree: inspecting the bunker at high tide, we will not do it again! 😉 

 

 

 

Celebrity?… It stays in the family! ;-)

Nothing new, but I want to repeat it and tell you about it! I already mentioned my family is very famous. Lots of my aunties and uncles and my grandpa and my mummy are very famous airedale ladies and sirs. And about some of them, I already told you in particularly! Nobody, Desmond, Apollo (Pol for the friends) and my mummie Funnygirl…

Today I want to tell about another sir! He is my uncle! My grandfather Desmond is his father! Well: Harry van ’t Asbroek is quite a guy! One of his dads is a very famous person in Antwerp! Not only in Antwerp: he is known in the whole world, at least the fashion world. Because his dad is a very well known and succesful fashion designer. He works here and in Paris. Of course he is often interviewed. Now there is a very big exposition about his work here in Antwerp, so lots of interviews and articles about the famous man! 

AND this time there was an article and a very big picture in a magazine! Not only of the famous dad but also of Harry van ’t Asbroek, my uncle! Tell you!!! And guess what? Picture has been taken near our home! Mum made a pic of me at the same spot! So you can compare! I’m as proud as possible!

Is our family famous or not??? 🙂

Exhausting!!!… That’s what holidays are: exhausting!

Big news! I was on a holiday for two days at holiday mum’s place! Great days! My dogness! There were two other friends: bossy Jess and retriever Nugget! Bossy or not, I played a lot with Jess and a lot with Nugget too! 

No, mum, the orange pig already was in this condition, I only got the squeek out of the grey pig… and I was not alone to defluf it! Believe me! And Nugget and me changed bowls for dinner monday night! Liked her food but I got a little diarrhea of it, just a tiny bit. 😦 Next time we did not change bowls! 😉

And we slept on the couch, all together in one big tangle, holiday mum told so to my mum! Yes mum, I know: on the couch is just for holidays: not at home.

Oh yes, and we went to the tree-dogpark to see my old friends. I climbed in my tree only one time, I’m out of the tree-business, remember?!

Nugget and me tried to get in the birds house when holiday mum was there… No luck, we couldn’t! But we ran in and out the house, got sticks in and chewed on it… All the place ful of stick-pieces! And we did a lot of bitey face!!!! Listen, mum, we had lots of fun. When is next time? You don’t know yet? 😦

And now… need holidays to have some rest! In my own little house! 😉 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Messages???!!!… Oh yes!

Mum was looking at something on the tv-typing-machine and she was laughing loudly. Like this in message-language: BOL.

I thought it was not to laugh about: I just saw real life, me! I’ll prove it to you with some pics… 🙂 😉
I was reading lots of messages an I was writing messages too! And my mum? She even forgot her black message box at home. You see what I mean about real life and nothing to laugh about? 😉

 

New business started! Oh yes!… Inspecting the woods!

This week we went to the huge dogpark several times, but not to the water business part. Mum’s back was aching a bit and then she will not put on the water business boots. She needs good stepping shoes to make it less worse, the aching.

So we stayed in the dry part. We went in the part we did not visit before! I did a lot of running and exploring! And… I decided to start a new business! I’m inspecting the woods! Needs to be done too, you know! Mum did less distance, but I did more than enough for both of us. We even played hide and seek! I disappeared and mum waited and then I appeared again! Fun! Really fun! On WWW-day she made a video and pics! 😉

 

 

Miss long legs goes… shopping

Geplaatst door Patricia Dale in Dag in, dag uit en getagd met

Saturday was a busy day! In the morning we went to the huge dogpark and the cracking water. In the afternoon we went shopping! Yes, yes, yes… That’s what a lady really likes, you know! Surely if we go to the shop of mum’s human pup! Oh yes!

It is a little bit far away, we go there by car. About 30 kms = 18,6 miles. You see, we can’t do that with our paws alone! Big “malchance” as the French say: we ended up in a traffic jam. 😦 But my dad he knows how to drive anywhere so we left the highway and took small streets and we got there! 🙂 Yihaa! Love my dad! ❤

So mum made a list of all the things we needed, at least: all the things this lady needs! My food: 2 different kinds that mum mixes and then she adds green beans too. But human pup does not sell beans! 😉
Than I need, or no, mum needs poop-bags, yes for my poop but I’m the one dropping, not cleaning up!
Nicest part: the treats! Lots of treats!
Lots of buffalo treats! 🙂
And chicken treats! Yes! 🙂
And long bully sticks!!! 🙂
And the nice dry snacks! 🙂
Oh, and two of those special teeth cleaning treats! 😉

Yes, mum, all this!!! What? Not all for today? This is for more than a month??? You must be kidding! What? I’m spoiled? You are kidding again!
No, I will not smile for the blinking thing. I’m near all those treats and I can not touch them! I will not smile! But I’ll cuddle with the human pup, she has all the treats in her shop, you see?!! 😉
