Well, I have to admit this: grandpa Lennox thaught me wel! He did teach me that the eldest has the most rights. In this case it is about taking place in the car! 😉

Three years ago we made a fototoot about grandpa and me in the car. Ha! I almost fell of the couch, he always took all the place! 😦

In this household things have thoroughly changed! When we are in the car, well… ys, you get it! I take all the place and the française takes a little corner… Oh yes! And just like before, mum and dad don’t interfere! 🙂 I manage this on my own, just as grandpa did! Ha!
Think I really do a good job. Hope macho grandpa sees this macho lady! ❤
See for yourself! 😉

Last sunday, weather was not too nice and mum was a bit ill, so we all decided to go to the small dogpark. Me and mum we leave first, the française and dad come a bit later. Something about a nice training… Surely it is about pulling on the leash when she comes near the dogpark! hahaha… 🙂 I know about that! hahahaa… 😉 I was mum’s despair at Lizzie’s age! 😉 Later on I turned into a nice not-pulling lady. Not sure that hurricane sissie will ever be!

Okay, I was going to tell you about last sunday! Me and mum arrived at the dogpark. I was a bit pissed because mum forgot our ball wit the rope. But then!!! Then I found a big rope that some mum or dad forgot! Yeeeey! ❤

There she is, the française! I know I have to wait near mum when she arrives. I learn quickly, you know! 😉

GO!

You’ll see the rest in the very long movie! 5 minutes! You will be tired, just watching, mum says! 😉

Nothing is perfect in this life… mum often says! Well, for once she is right. hihihi. 🙂

I’ll give you an exemple: that sissie of me is not perfect! She misses some genes: the climbing genes! That’s for sure!
She jumps up all right and she can stand all right, she is an airedale, you know! But she can not climb! 😦

And that is difficult to learn if it is not in your genes! She is not a Van ’t Asbroek-dale, and that shows! 😉

In one of the big dogparks, there is a kind of climbing tree to exercise! Well look at the pics to see what the française did in stead of climbing up as I did. I showed her all right!
Lot to learn, sissie… and without those genes, that will be difficult! At your age I was already high up in trees, you know, scaring mum to death from above her head! 😉

– “Dis-moi, Miss Know-It-All, can you explain to me what this funny procedure is all about? Mostly we come into the house and we go off leash immediately, and then there are times we have to go through this ceremony of ‘paw plunging’. Je n’y comprends rien!”
– “That’s when we have mud boots, silly. Mum doesn’t want that, so we get our paws cleaned.” 🙂

– “Ca alors! Where I come from, you just go inside, tu sais. You Antwerp guys must really be des chiens de ville, ‘city dogs’ so to say.”
– “Funny that you mention that, Lizzie! Monsieur Bernard, a farmer – and the Dad of my french friend Manau, who went to the Rainbow Bridge to join his old pal Grandpa Lennox – used to say that jokingly of Grandpa and me.” 🙂

– “Eh bien, if that’s what Mum wants, I guess we’ll have to do it on her terms, n’est-ce pas?”
– “You are very right, Lizzie! We’d better, that’s for sure… Sooner or later everybody in this house learns that it is by far the smartest way to do things: on Mum’s conditions… After all, it’s not that horrific, this ‘paw plunging business’ of hers, is it?” [aire laughter]

Sissie Lizzie

Last day the weather is colder… Nice weather to fool around. And so we did at the huge dogpark, several times! This time Mum and dad said we could go to the big waterppool. It rained enough lately to clear up the water… 🙂

The new little one had to be shown around! Of course! Guiding business at his best! 🙂

Just have a look for yourself! Video is short though! Mum was tooting in stead of filming, she’ll never learn! 😦

Come on, off we go to the big water!

Follow the guide but don’t wet your belly! 😉

We go behind the bush now, there is more water!

And to the other side, we’ve been too!

Okay mum, I lost guide Kita, I was lost a bit but here I am!

Since I’m not the baby in the house anymore, I am in the boss-business too! I command the française to guard the house and to look out for dangers while I can have a nap at my mum’s feet! She can’t, you know! That’s my place!! 😉

Asked mum to toot so that I can show you that the new little one is not too bad at the job! 🙂 She stands there for very long times, and I mean: very long times! So I had a nice long nap! 🙂
