Dear grandpa Lennox

Yes, it’s the little one again! And yes, I know I should not disturb you when you are busy. And you are busy, that’s what mum tells me. You’re nursing little ones, mum says! 🙂 You have experience… hahahaha!

But this is important enough to listen for a moment to this little one too!

Yesterday the doorbell rang! As you taught me I barked several times. That was okay but too many times… 😉
Anyway someone was bringing some beautiful flowers from another airelady very far away, and her mum and dad! For you! At the Rainbow Bridge! Isn’t that so supersupersweet! And because you can see them from there we can enjoy them too over here … We’ll think about you every time we see them!

Yesyes, I know, I bark “Thank you very much” as I should! I remember you told me!

Woof, waf, waf, woof! You see! 😉

Well now you know, you can go on nursing the little ones over there.

Big hugs and kisses from the little one over here

Wednesday afternoon me and mum went to the huge dogpark! That’s a great idea and it was fun! I ran a lot and I met friends! I met one of my very first friends I made here on the left bank of river Scheldt: Chérie! That’s French for ‘darling’!

But there were things which were less fun! 😦 
First of all, I had to listen to mum’s complaints about the weather. Well, not really about the weather (weather was beautiful for an autumn day!!) but about her bad choice of clothes! Too hot, she said. She finally put out her coat, after all this complaining! I told her: I can’t get rid of my coat, for me it is as warm as for you, but she did not mind!

Anyway, I was running in the little wood in the middle of the huge dogpark… Mum filmed a bit. And afterwards I was playing with other doggies and with Chérie.
We also enjoyed the colours of the trees, leafs are colourful, mum says! I don’t see colours, so I believe her! I smell the good autumn smells!

Finally we went home and I was tired, very tired. But we still had to walk more than half a mile. Too much for me. I wanted to rest… maybe mum would carry me, just as she did when I was a baby?
No way, she said. I had to go on! Stubborn me wanted to rest! Okay, said mum, I make a video of you and your stubbornness! As you wish, mum!
Anyway, she took me by the harness, the red one and I had to go on with her! She always wins! ALWAYS! And now I am a bit ashamed that she will put the video in this story… 😦 Not lady like. In Dutch there is a saying: Eigen schuld, dikke bult. Which means: own fault, you pay for it…

And grandpa? He laughed and laughed and laughed… 😦 Said he could remember this of his youth! He calls it youthful hubris! Don’t know that word, me… he is wise, my grandpa! He knows a lot! 😉

I heard it well: she said: today it is friday. That is what she said, my mum! Grandpa, did you hear it too? It’s friday!

Little one, I don’t mind! Remember we went to your huge dogpark again last night and I had a nice little run? So, I need some rest today! Keep yourself busy!

Okay! Mum, what’s on the program for today? What? We go for a swim? NO way! I want to run, yes, but no swimming! My paws can swim, yes, but not the rest! 😉 I did the running and I wet my paws: that was it for the swimming-party! 🙂

And this afternoon? Well, we went to the little dogpark, in the middle of the afternoon! 🙂 There was a little gentleman: Renco. His mum said he’s afraid of every dog, big or small, and so he growls and barks at every dog! Mum asked if we could come in the dogpark. His mum said that we could try.

So this lady did the trick. I was very gentle and I pretended I was afraid of him and that I was shy… 😉 So little Renco felt better and he came nearer! He did not growl, he did not bark, oh no… he wanted to play! His mum was in a little positive shock! She had never seen that before! We played with the ball, I even got the ball! And my mum? She was pleased and proud! I’m her aire-lady, you know!

And now? I’m tired! Really! Need a big nap! I’m going to rest in my crate, no grandpa disturbs me there, although door is always open! 😉

Dear Isla 

How do you get along with the wood-art? Any results to show?

I’m still in the wood-business, me, but I do it in a clever lady-like-way nowadays! I’ll give you some more nice advice concerning the wood-business!!

To exercise your teeth, you also can look for a big branch or stick. You can run with it, you can play with it, but most important you can bite on it, and chew on it! That’s good exercise!

But listen very carefuly: you can NEVER eat it! That’s not good. Grandpa says it is dangerous! (And your mum will be angry, you don’t want that to happen, will you???)
Biting on wood: check! Chewing on a stick: check! Swallowing or eating wood: NEVER!

As before I show you in pics and video, so you surely get this lesson straight! 😉 🙂
Have a lot of wood-fun, young city-cousin! 🙂 ❤
Hugs, Kita

Mum, why do you want to make a fototoot? We see all this twice a day, at least. That’s nothing special! What? Is it special for far away friends? Oh, we make this fototoot for the far-away-friend who gave me my duck? He has a lot of work to do and we want to cheer him up a bit? Okay, I’m ready! There we go!

Mum, will he recognize all these buildings from so far away? When he was in Belgium last time, we were near the buildings, remember? Maybe we should go there for the fototoot?

No? Is this better? Okay, we walk and we toot! 🙂 And no, I will not pull you in the river Scheldt, I won’t.

Stop pulling! Tide is high!

But it smells interesting here! 😉

This time, my mum really understood the issue! I don’t want to be an Easter-bunny! Anyway, who wants to be a bunny, to be honest?

Me? I prefer to be an Easter-chocolate egg! Although I may not eat them… 😦
I’m sweet, I’m soft, I’m coloured (for this occasion)… I’m everything to be an easter-egg!

So for every one out there: have a nice Easter-Sunday. And for those who don’t live in this crazy egg-Easter-world: have a nice day!!! 😉
