A real lady eats with… a fork!

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

Since a long time I asked mum to teach me! Since grandpa said I can’t eat as a real lady should! 😦

So I want to learn it, really, I want to learn it! I want to eat with knife and fork, as my mum does! Did my grandpa Lennox? No! But he was not a lady, he always said! hahaha! 😉

So, finally mum understood and we took the first step: I started to learn to eat with a fork! Think it is easy enough! But mum says we never start eating with fork and knife! NEVER, she says. Okay, just for now, I’ll take that for granted: I’ll eat with a fork! 🙂 ❤

Mum, and a spoon? Next lesson? She is not of the quickest, my mum… I don’t need so much lessons, I’m a quick learner… But I know: a lady has to be patient… 😉
To be continued…

Feast-day?… Gotcha Day!

Tomorrow is the 21st of March! That’s an important day! Really! Even my grandpa said so! It is Gotcha Day!

But we celebrate already today, mum says. Tomorrow she is library-mum, you see.

1. We = me, and dad and mum, went to the huge dogpark: always fun! 🙂 By the way: who is the politest girl of the very huge dogpark when treats are involved? Have a look! 😉
2. I got a new toy! A little squeeking tire-man… Always fun too… 🙂  untill I chewed a hole in it and then I had to give it back to mum! 😦
3. I got a nice bully stick in stead. Mum said she was “prepared”. Prepared for what? 😉

So I had a nice day and I’ll show you some pics of today and of 5 years ago! Oh yes: and the movie of the chewing… grandpa would say that chewing is boring for a movie! I want to show it: it is my Gotcha Day after all! ❤

A parcel???… And not for me???

What? A parcel? Came with my friend the postman? Yes, he is one of my best friends in the building, although he always says “he” talking about me… 😦

Mum, is that real? This parcel is not for me? I’m the very famous lady in this house, you know! Not you! 😉

What’s in it? Beautiful things, she says… Okay, let’s have a look. It really is beautiful: mum puts it on the table-chest… Can have a sniff, but I can not touch! Okay, I’ll play with my very old own cloth which was a bag once… 😉

There is even more coming from down under? I can sniff! Is that for the table too? No, it is what? Magnetic? Never heard about that guy! Why does she laugh?
Yes, put them down here, I will fix it at night, when you are asleep! No? High up? Is that more “sure”? Okay, I like the birds though! ❤

Thank you very much, friends down under! ❤ 🙂

Euh… what’s going on?

Hey mum, it is Tuesday today, you know… You hear me? Tuesday morning! What, she knows that? Why does she take the coat and the bag for the huge dogpark?
Mum, really, it is only Tuesday morning, not wednesday afternoon! You’ll be late for work! No? My dogness, something is really wrong with my mum…

In winter we never go that early in the morning to the huge dogpark. There are no lights, you know. It is too dangerous for mums then! 😉

Okay, if she really insists, I’ll go with her, of course. Well, it isn’t that dark anymore… Maybe she is a bit smart, my mum. What does she say? Spring? (Spring in Dutch=Jump in English!) Okay, I jump! Why does she say NO? I do as she asks! What a strange morning! What on earth is going on? And no grandpa Lennox to explain… 😦

Oh, days get longer, so we can go to the huge dogpark in the morning? I see! 😉

We met doggies too… and I run after birds and… we came home too soon! Told you, it’s only Tuesday morning, she has to go to work! 😦

PS No, that friend is not a real airedale, but a mix! But he is soooooo kind…

Me and… sun, sunnier, sunniest!

What do you say, mum? We need air? There is air here too, you know. 🙂

Oh, you mean we go outsie? Make a little run around the table before I go to her to get my harness on. Okay, I come, I know you do’t like to wait… hahaha. 😉

Spring is in the air! Feel this: sun is really warm this afternoon! Because it is Friday there are not many doggies on the beach… 😦  or yes, there far away, there is one. I run! Mum follows very slowly! 🙂

Hello cutie! I’m lady Kita. And you? You are a young boy, aren’t you? Hadchi? Okay, Hadchi, we’ll play and run. What does your mum say? You are 6 months old and today is the first time you are of the leash? You are lucky, I was two before I was wise enough to go off the leash out of a dog park! Yes, little one, we’ll stay near your mum and dad before they faint of fear that you’ll disappear! At least, my mum would! 😉

When we return, sun starts falling down. Sun does that every evening, you know! Mum wants to fototoot… 😉 She likes the mirrors on the beach! 🙂

Mum?… Library mum?… I need advice!

What does she ask? I did not listen too carefully, I’m busy! What I’m doing? Sunbathing? No, mum, that’s a coincidence. I’m trying to choose a good book! 🙂

You remember, mum, when I was a teenager, that you learned me to read? All the pictures we were looking at in the books of your library! The very first one? The one with the farm of my friend Mano? Oh yes, you kept me busy all right! 😉 And in the meantime I was not chewing up other things, hahahaha! 😉

Oh, my dear, I remember!

Oh, my mum calls me “my dear”, than she is very pleased with me. ❤
Anyway, mum, could you please help me to choose a book? Her are lots of them near my box with toys and crate. 
I know I come first, but after all, you are a library mum too, aren’t you? 😉

PS Pics of today and pics of the old days…

 

 

Het is zo ver! … Ik leer lezen!

 

What an adventure!… My dogness!

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

This morning, our wal to the huge dogpark was one big adventure. Yes, yes, not a small one: a big one. an adventure in two parts! 😉

First of all I had this playdate with Bacon. You know him! The guy with the ball! Today we had a lot of fun with the ball… 🙂 We were running and playing, but then… horror! The ball was in the water. The ball was far away in the water! Very, very far away in the water… 😦 Bacon’s legs are too short!!! He can not reach the ball anymore!
I tried to be a very brave lady and I went in the water, very far in the water! Mum, Look at me, I’m all wet and I’m far in the water! More horror! I can’t take the ball, it goes away when I try to touch it! 😦
In the end I go out of the very cold water… No way, I go in again! 😦

Did we get the ball back? Yes! Bacon’s mum is very brave, she got out off her shoes and socks and she went in the water. Trousers all wet… but she got the ball! 🙂
What an adventure! ❤

So, we had to run to keep warm… And running, I was! Believe me! There was a gentleman called Izzy. He got a crush on me… Well that was a big crush! 😉 He followed me everywhere, touching me all the time! His mum said I should growl and bite, then he would stop! My dogness, a lady does not growl, and a lady does not bite… a lady runs away! But this lady was running quite a bit!

Mum almost had to carry me home, which she never wants, as you know! Anyway I slept the rest of the day… 😉 Lucky me: today is friday. I have the whole weekend to rest! 😉

PS Lots of pictures and video available!

 

Look at this!… Thanks, human pup!

Few days ago, at noon, the human pup appeared with a big parcel. Is this for me? No and yes? What will it be, no or yes? You confuse this lady. Don’t they teach petshop-human-pups that doggies need clear language? 😉

What does she say? It is for all of us? Oh, now I understand… 🙂

Mum is the one who is opening the parcel! Wow!!!!! Mum, look! But that is my tree! And I am in it! Wow!!! Look, mum, this is very good: that’s the moment I was grinning and laughing at you because you were afraid! hahahaha! 😉

My hero-dad lifted me up to do some inspection from nearby of course!!

Thank you very much, human pup! Now I am always grinning at every one entering the house! Yes!!! ❤

 

My very, very, very biggest hero???… My dad!

Who plays football with me on the beach? My dad! 🙂
Who takes me for walks when mum is at her library and also  late at night? That’s not mum, of course! Or she is working or she is already asleep, hahaha! 😉 It’s dad! 🙂
Who gives me dinner very often? Dad! 🙂

You see, we spend a lot of time together, me and my dad! 🙂

And then… there was my birthday! I really was very surprised when dad was watching television… In the seat next to him, there is still place… Mum does not sit in that brown seat because it makes her back hurt… So, in the brown seat there is a small place next to dad. Maybe I could try to get on his lap, as I do with mum in the back seat of the car…???…
Yes, I can! Look at me… In the brown seat, next to dad!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Did mum see this???

Day after, I tried it again… of course when mum did not see it. Dad, he said it was okay as long as I only get in the brown seat! That’s our seat, he says! And when he comes, I take a small place or I go in my bed! Oh yes, I do!!! But, friends all over the world: I conquered a new seat! And I really don’t have to thank mum for it: she normally forbids it!

So, tell me: who is my very, very biggest hero? My dad! 😉 ❤

PS Grandpa Lennox got in seats too when he was younger! He told me so! ssssttttttttt!

I’m in the guiding-business… for a blind friend!

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

This morning me and mum went to the huge dogpark. Nice morning. No sun, talking grass, glass-water! Yep, happy lady! 🙂

In the huge dogpark we met Vic! Vic is such a handsome guy! ❤ There is only a small problem: Vic is not too sure about everything. 😦 How come? Vic is a blind guy! 😦

So, he was turning his head around and his beautiful tail was down with all those busy dogs around him. Then he was walking away of all this fuss. His mum was calling him, but he went on.
So this lady went after him to keep an extra eye open and to comfort and guide him a bit. 😉 That’s what ladies do, you know! 😉

That’s what I did all morning: taking Vic everywhere: also to the busy treat-party and then away again, and I learned him a bit how to play… 😉
He has a very nice mum too! I even was not angry because she did not know I’m an airedale! 😉

In the end he wanted to go home with me, but I brought him back to his mum and explained his mum would be very sad! He went with her, tail-wagging! 🙂

What do you say, mum? Am I a good girl? Why? I’m just me, you know… 🙂
