WWW with… Bacon!

What a Wonderfull Wednesday!!!! My (library-)mum and her colleague at school had a great idea today! They organised a “rendez-vous” for Mister Bacon (9 months old) and this lady at the huge dogpark this afternoon!

We had a great time. Bacon had the time of his life, his mum said! There were so many friends to play with, we were in the water… Water-business, n’est-ce pas? And no, I still don’t dare to swim as the other doggies did… 😦 But my belly was very wet though! Bacon did not swim neither! He still learns about the water-business! 
We stayed quite some time! Like that, of course! 😉 ❤

When we came home, I got my anti-tick-thing in my neck! And then mum got something out of a package! I was moving my tail already! This comes from the human pup and her shop, I can smell that! What? It is nothing to eat? What? It’s for my toe-nails? gggrrrr. Okay, i’ll sit nicely! Mum explains on this nail-clipper, there is a security-thing, she cannot hurt me! Okay, go on: I’m too tired to protest this nail-cutting! 🙂 😉 Happy mum! 


 

 

 

For Wally and Murphy!… So it goes…

Mum says I have some explanantions to do… About my new “clothes”. All the way down in South Africa, Wally and Murphy are very curious how I put my new “clothes” on! 😉 🙂

This lady asked her mum to make some pictures. She says it is not easy to dress the lady and making pictures at the same time, but we managed all right. So Wally and Murphy: it goes like this:

1. mum keeps the harness before you nose
2. you put your head in the thing 
3. mum takes an end under your belly and gets it up
4. mum does ‘click’ at one side
5. mum does ‘click’ at the other side

Ready you are! I like my red “clothes”. If you do not like red, choose another colour! 😉 It is comfy to go out and stay on the leash, really!

New habit, new clothes… and new birds!!

Breaking news! Lots of new things, these days!

First of all, I have a new habit! I can make my ears rest too! I just do as my mum does! She puts her hand and arm on this thing in the car. I tried to rest my paw on it but it was not comfy at all! But my ear on it, that’s great! Ear rests and I can hear good! 😉

I got new “clothes”. Since my water-business is very successful, mum says I’m destroying my harness! It often is wet and it does not dry quickly. So she got me a new one for the dry occasions. We’ll never put it on during waterbusiness-hours! 😉

And then!!! We went out with my new “clothes” on and there we saw impossible big birds, making a strange noise! New birds in the area of our home! Had to bark a few times to alert everybody! Mum was not pleased… so I stopped the warning-action! 😦

All my “on the road”-businesses… travelling is fun!

This lady is a real business-lady even when I’m travelling! I give you some impression… Here’s the list of all my businesses during last journey! 😉

1. hunting-business (see yesteray’s story!)
2. running-business
3. inspecting-business
4. hotel-business 
5. visiting-business
6. want-to-see-everything-business
7. napping-business
8. wood-business
9. stubborn-business

 

On the road again… to farm-life!

We are back home and I’m tired, but I have lots to tell! Yes, we were on the road again. We went to see the mum and dad of my French friend Mano. But Mano is at the Rainbow Bridge now, galloping around with my grandpa. Life at the farm is a bit different but not dull at all! 😉

I was practicing my hunting-business! Oh yes! My dogness, there was work to do! In the meadows there is a kind of plague of voles at the moment at Mano’s place. I thought I could offer some help! That’s me: I try to be kind if I like what’s on the program, you know! 🙂 Mum was not as pleased as I was! 😉 Pics will show you why… Made a bit a mess of this lady… 😦

I like the farm but I don’t like the cows! They are to big for this city-lady. So I bark at them!!! They even do not batting an eyelid… they are not afraid of me!!! 

I’m going to have a nap! Rest of the stories are for tomorrow! So: to be continued!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lady Kita goes in the … surprises-business!

On mondays mum is a library-mum till late in the evening. So I decided to go and get her. Of course I asked dad to come too, that’s easy to understand. He is the one with the supscription for the metro. If I take him with me, I can ride for free, you see! 😉

I had to wait patiently in the playground before the school, I can’t go in the building, you know! But one of mum’s library-students came to talk to me: she recognised me from mum’s calendar in the library! Isn’t that special?!! 🙂

Finally mum came out of the building! Speaking of a surprise! Think I start a new business: a surprises-business! Then mum had to show me her mailbox of course (books and dvd’s and newspapers and… arrive there, you see!). Off we went back home! Taking the tramway, tram goes under the ground, in the metro, later on!
Do your police-officers put advertisements for themselves everywhere too or is that only in Antwerp????

On our way home we met mister Plantin and his fish and other animals… Pity, my shark was not there!

I give more explanations with the pics, if that interests you, you have to click on them! 🙂

A proud van ’t Asbroek… with a bad hairday and soap between her toes…

Me and mum were up early today! Oh yes, we went outside for a run. That means: I run, she walks. But I would prefer her to tell me next time that there is a lot of wind. Not just a lot of wind, a big lot of wind!

We went to the beach. Part where the sea never comes, well, the sand was moving in big speed. We hurried away from there! That means: I hurried and did it quick, poor mum was slower… 😉

And the sea? Sea was a bit bizar, the sea threw soap foam on the beach! I got this soapfoam everywhere: in my fur, but also between my toes! Felt strange in the beginning but later I got used to it. 🙂
But my “coiffure”! 😦  This time mum laughed at me and my bad-hair-day! That’s human language, I call it a bad-fur-day! 😉

Mum was taking a lot of pictures of the beautiful sky and rather rough sea and of course of me, the proud lady with the ugly “coiffure”. 😉

PS Chef Maurice: you know what I mean, don’t you? I saw a pic of you with the same “coiffure”! And by the way: your mum is the only one with a complete correct answer! Congrats! 😉 Hexes mum was near too! 🙂

 

Inspection business:… balcony and plants are okay!

Yesterday mum was watering the plants on the balcony. Normally I don’t mind, but this time I thought it was time to do some inspectionworks! 😉

So I did. Made my work of it, surely when I heard downstairs neighbour-lady was outside. But she had no time to chat today! 😦 That was because mum forbid me to bark to get her attention! 😦 
But I looked around and saw that the black new schoolbuilding is almost finished now. That’s a school for future sea-men! They surely will learn about the tides, won’t they, mum? Will they go in the river Scheldt as I do, mum?

Hahaha, Kita! No, don’t think so. They will be on big ships!

Why is she laughing at me? 😦  Anyhow, plants do great on our balcony! They have flowers! ❤ And bamboo is growing well, I measured it! 😉

 

 

 

 

Travel safe… cousin Islay!

Dear cousin Islay

I think it’s the moment to write you again, today! My mum says tomorrow is a big day for you. You are leaving the city in which you grew up to become a real aire-city-girl and soon you will be teenager-off and a real lady.

So, I’ll give some other European advice before you go to the States…

Never forget you are a city dale-lady! City-dale-ladies behave like ladies: they know how to travel and how to be polite and friendly. But you know that, we saw it in Cologne. City-ladies can be country-bandits too: that’s for relaxation-purposes only. Because it can be stressy to act like a lady… surely a city-lady. Never forget to remind your mum and dad of this! 😉

Never forget your European roots, my dear! Where you go you will be special because of these roots! Be proud of them, just as we do over here! So, I suggest you stay in touch with your cousin (me! 🙂 )and you write me once in a while and tell and teach me about the States, just as I thaught you about European manners (the French kisses, remember?). I count on that, my dear! ❤

Well, travel safe: it is far and it will take quite some time, but it will be okay! And then: enjoy your new home! Greet your human grandparents and human uncles and aunts from me too, will you? xoxox And be sure to make lots and lots of new doggie-friends! Send me some pics, will you?! 🙂

Big, big loving hugs to you and your mum and dad! ❤

Kita

PS Let me know when you arrive, then I’ll feel “tranquille”! 😉

 

Bloopblooptoot… and art!

This morning, very early, before all that rain, we had so much fun, me and mum! We were laughing all the time!

First we played with the coloured tail. Yes, I was in a good mood and I brought it back 11 times! Sometimes you have to please your mum. Surely when the treats are yummy, you understand? Then I started chewing on the thing and I had to give it back, it disappeared in mum’s bag. 😉

Then mum wanted a fototoot in my repaired dogpark as you can see in the pics. I did pose in funny ways and mum did laugh! So did I! bloopers enough, mum said, now a good one! hahaha, i just walked out of the picture! Hahahaha. Then I was tired of laughing and I lay down for a nice pic. 🙂

Off we went, back home. But then we passed by the new street art. Mum had the short leash and she had to hold it because of the traffic, difficult for good pics, but we have some. We were giggling again, of course! 🙂

In the end, in our street, we saw the orange humans, they are working in the trees! Me, I was jealous, could not go and help! 😉
