Me and my mum we decided we should go for some me-time. With this recovering française and all, you know, she has to stay calm! 😦

So off we went, only the two of us, to the huge dogpark.Very nice weather to walk, bright sunshine, but a bit cold. We don’t bother about that tough! I like this time with mum! ❤

Well, at the huge dogpark I started a new business! Yep, the magician-business! You do not believe me? Ha, mum got her black box and made a video to proof it!

What I did in my magician business? You know there is this big water at the end of the huge dogpark? Well, this time I did not go IN the water!
I WALKED ON the water! Yes, I did. Only, as usual, my mum panicked a bit: she thaught the magician-business would end abruptly so she called me back. 😦
And, I was not stubborn: I ran to her! Got a treat, even two! 😉

– “Where have you been, petite française? Wait, you smell like… the Green Clothes!”

– “Laisse-moi, Kita. I’m all dizzy and shaky, I really don’t know what they did to me.”

– “I overheard Mum and Dad at noon. It has to do with your ‘heat’-thing, remember?”

– “Having to stay away from les garçons? That was it, n’est-ce pas? No babies for me?”

– “Right! I was cut open at the Green Clothes’ place too, when I was only 6 months old.”

– “ Tu parles! Did they cut you open? Did they do the same to me, you think? Ca alors!”

– “You have this nice shirt on, because you have stitches underneath, that you can’t touch.””

– “Tu sais vraiment tout, Miss-Know-It-All! Eh bien, I do hope I’ll feel better tomorrow.”

– “You will, I’m sure. I remember I did. But you won’t be allowed to jump or play yet.”

– “Ce n’est pas grave, I don’t feel very much like it anyway. Laisse-moi, I’ll take a nap.”

– “What was wrong with you, Kita? In restaurants we’re supposed to lie quietly under the chairs and not move or make any sounds while Mum and Dad are eating, n’est-ce pas?”

– “Oh, you are going to give me lessons in ladylike behavior now, are you, petite française? Do I have to remind you that it was you who didn’t come straight away after Dad used the whistle language yesterday? We were running free on the beach and you saw another doggie far away and you ran over there without paying any further attention.”

– “Ca alors! It was very, very windy and the sea was loud, and I couldn’t hear a thing, and moreover it was a very handsome petit garcon, and… and…” 😉

– “I myself ran to Dad every single time, and got all the treats he had in store for you. But you didn’t behave like a decent Aire Lady should, did you?” 🙂

– “ Toi, tu parles! Only this morning I was close to Mum and Dad all the time, while you were far away, out of reach, sniffing some dead fish or je ne sais pas quoi. You didn’t answer the insisting whistle language of Mum yourself, and I was the one who got all the treats.”

– “You’d better attend to our inspection business instead of worrying so much about the treats! An Aire Lady is supposed to be somewhat stubborn at times, there is no way about that.” 😉

– “Oh, you Miss-Know-It-All, tu sais vraiment tout, toi! You have an answer to everything! Eh bien, I prefer to be a well behaving Daddy’s girl than a stubborn Aire Lady…”

– “Although yesterday’s ‘deafness’ was rather impressive, I must say, and Dad didn’t seem to like your aire stubbornness very much either.”

– “D’accord! I see what you mean. We’re both of the same breed, c’est sûr.”

– “We sure are one of a kind, aren’t we? Well… friends again?”

– “OK! Friends again! Paws Up!” [aire high five] “Let’s go do some Bitey Face!” ❤

K: You see me????

K: I do not want to hear the wisstle language!

Friends again!

– “Ca alors! I have to tell you this, Kita! Mum just took me in her arms, then wrestled a bit with me (en fait, it was me resisting her manoeuvre, because I had no idea about what was happening, mais soit) and finally she managed to get me on this funny table…”

– “Oh, that… That’s not a problem at all, you silly petite française.” 😉

– “Voilà, there you go again, Miss Know-It-All! How was I supposed to know, n’est-ce pas?”

– “You need to stand very, very still on that table, because taking care of our fur is a delicate, eh… well, business.” [aire laughter] “She wouldn’t want to hurt us, would she?”

– “Je sais, je sais, but couldn’t she have given me a hint in advance? I do know this procedure quite well! My first Human Mum, who looked after me in my first weeks and again later on, often groomed me avec ces mains très professionnelles.”

– “You know, the Mum of Cousin Islay does the grooming and trimming of her bearded lady teddy bear herself too. I know, because she told me so herself!” 🙂

– “Tu sais vraiment tout, toi! Eh bien, do you think I’m pretty now?”

– “Well, you’re short, of course, but furthermore you’re the perfect bearded lady!”;-)

– “D’accord! Now I’m going to take a nap, because being extremely focused all the time in that very upright position has exhausted me: je suis épuisée!”

– “This grooming can indeed be quite challenging. You know what? I’ll take a nap with you. You never know what’s next with these humans. We’d better be prepared.” [aire laughter]

For Antwerp, this is breaking news! When we got up this morning, well… we saw… SNOW! 🙂

Not mountains of it, but we had snow! And is is feezing, so snow became a bit of ice with some very soft bit of rain! … No prob! 😉

Although we are glad to be in again: this morning and now! Zzzzzzzzzz…. 🙂

– “C’est pour moi! C’est pour moi! It says ‘Dear Lizzie’ at the top! It’s for me!”
– “OK, OK! Stop bouncing around like a ball in a pinball machine, you silly.”
– “But, Dad, you don’t understand! I desperately want to know what’s in it…”
– “You don’t say!”
– “It’s from Cousin Islay, who will be moving this summer to Shenandoah National Park. That sounds like a gigantic dogpark to me, tu ne penses pas, Kita?”
– “We have met once, me and Islay, in Cologne (Germany), together with our German friends Ina and Hexe. I did tell you that, remember, petite française?”
– “I know who Cousin Islay is, you smartass Miss Know-It-All! We were plotting to go over there to go play with her in her new dogpark, n’est-ce pas?”
– “Right!” [aire high five] ❤

– “Je suis trop nerveuse! Would you please read it to me, Dad? I’m much too exited!”
– “On the front it says ‘Every day is chewsday’, which is funny, actually, surely if you are a dog, do you get it? Furthermore, there are 10 life lessons Islay says she learnt from Kita.”
– “From Kita? Je ne suis pas surprise! Miss Know-It-All will probably have told young Islay ‘everything’. She bosses me around as well, because ‘she knows’, vous savez…”
– “Well, although I’m not a dog, I must admit these advices are fairly spot-on, Little One. And even more importantly, she states that you ‘landed in the perfect family’! Amen to that!” 🙂
– “Ah, ça! Je ne me plains pas! I do realize I may be une petite emmerdeuse des fois – a bit of a pain in the ass, comme on dit – but we always will be the best of friends, won’t we, Dad?” ❤

– “Mum, Lizzie and Dad are hugging and cuddling once again… Can we…?” 🙂

“Un tout grand merci, Cousin Islay in the States! I sincerely hope we’ll be fooling around together some day. Kita keeps telling me what a lovely Bearded Lady you are. Paws Up!”

Last weekend, we were really very busy! We were in our running business! Since I’m the CEO in this business, I make my employees work, of course! 😉

So, sissie Lizzie, known in my company as the française, had a lot of work to do! And because I’m a very good CEO I ordered dubble treats for the new little one! Weekend work, you know, double payed in my company! She got them, of course! Not only from mum but also from dad! ❤

You see, this real business lady has everything under control. That’s in my genes, as it is in the genes of my mum and my human grandmum (mum’s mum, you see!) Proof is in the long video and in the pics, of course! 🙂
