What does she say, my mum? We go to the vet’s? To the hospital? Mum, really, I’m alright! I don’t need to go there, really! Just listen to me! Wafwafwoof!

Oh, she is stubborn, my mum! We are on the way to the vet’s. We take the tram and we go on foot. Don’t like this at all. Maybe it helps if I’m a very good girl. I sit, waiting for the tram. I make no noise, really no noise on the tram (sometimes I whine a little bit if people pay no special attention to me 😉  ). Nothing helps! We enter the vet’s hospital!

Euh? What does she say to the woman at the reception? Lennox?? Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark: she brought me, Kita, not my grandpa Lennox! I bark! Oohoh! That was not good! 😦

Again? Lennox? Oh, my goodness: my grandpa Lennox needs new bottles of his kidney-medication and I have to go to the vet’s? Who understands this???

Bet I have to sit on the scale, to see my weight within a few seconds!

Kita, come on, I want to know your weight! On the scale!

What did I say? I’m a lady so I do as I’m told! Mum is very pleased: weight is allright: 22,500 kg. (For my overseas friends: 49 pounds=lbs) What do I say? Weight is perfect! Just as it should be! The dad of my mum Funnygirl will be proud if I tell him that! And the vet too will be satisfied. I’m spayed 2 years ago, whatever that is, and I have to do lots of sports and running to keep a healthy weight. Diet still not necessary! I’m one of a proud lady and so is my mum!

You see it, mum? I’m allright and my weight too! 😉

How come this? Grandpa Lennox is not coming with us? He goes with dad somewhere else! To much noise? To many people? Where on earth are we going, mum?

We are heading for the park, not the dog park! The human park. Dogs are allowed there, but on the leash! I don’t understand why humans are not on the leash in the dogpark, me! We would have more fun, more mischiefs to achieve! hahaha! 🙂

Anyway, we go to the park, its only about 50 meters from home! Another bizar thing: dogpark is 250 meters, human park is only 50 meters from home! 😉 I’m not complaining though, really not. We live in a city, so a park and a dogpark nearby, that’s very nice!!

My goodness! So many people, and so many chairs, and so many tables, and really, so much noise. They call it music!

Hey look! Somebody is calling my mum! That mum knows my mum from the library where my mum is the librarymum! Bit complicated, no? Anyway, they are surprised and glad to see each other! And that mum has two human boy-pups! Seems they like me. They ask very polite if they may cuddle me! I’m wagging my tail: yes, yes! Mum, please, say yes!!!

Oh, yes, cuddling-time! 🙂 🙂 🙂

It was a very hot day today! More than 35°C! Tonigt temperature was a little bit better and we went to the dogpark!

Grandpa Lennox says a dog should enjoy life here and now! That’s mindfull, he says! That’s wise, very wise! My grandpa is old and wise! 14 years and 2 months! And he knows! He’s the oldest dog at the dogpark and he is the big boss! We listen to him, surely when he barks!

So, tonight, we enjoyed life and had a great time at the park, we stayed for more than 2 hours! My mum made many, many pics… just an impression! So, you too can follow the advice of my grandpa: enjoy it, here and now! 🙂

Come on, mum, have a look over there… I have to pull a bit on the leash: my mum does not follow immediatly! She is stubborn: I have to go where she goes and not the other way around!

This time I get her attention! She stops and she is wondering! I can see it at her face! Mum, look there! A very very very big dog! Let’s have a look! I want to play!

Kita, that’s a horse! I thought you are afraid of horses??????

Ha, we approach! I sniff… that’s not a dog… I keep a little distance! I bark! maybe, the beast will answer?? I bark again… no reaction… Okay mum, it’s not interesting at all! Mistake… let’s move on! 😉

Hahaha, Kita! Still no “like” for horses? 😉

We are in the dogpark this morning! A lot of friends are there too! One friend found a ball and one of the dads is throwing it so we can fetch it! Yes, I’m there first! But I loose the ball! Sammy gets it and she never gives it to someone else! Not to a mum or dad, not to a friend! Grrrr…. Frustration 1!

And now we play in the tree! Only Sammy wants to get in. Young black Eva tries to come up at the wrong side! My goodness! And I wanted to teach her how to climb! Mum, you see it? No friend dares to go as high as me! Eva does not want to climb! Frustration 2.

Oh, but Juju is arriving! I like playing with her! Her dad has a red ball with a kind of an end… That’s nice! I want to play too! But Juju does not want me to! Frustration 3.

Mum, this is really enough for today! On top of all that my mum made pictures and a film with the blinking box! Well… that’s even more frustrating, now everybody can see all of my frustrations!… 😉

One day my mum is very pleased with me, the  other day she isn’t that pleased at all… I say: that’s airedale-life! 😉

Why? Kato was in the dogpark and her mum is really very friendly! I like her! Sometimes she gives me a treat! 🙂 This morning she sat on the seat near the table in the dogpark. I got on the bench, and I even got on her lap! She allowed me to! 😉
My mum does not like me to do that with other people! Lots of mums and dads don’t like big dogs on their lap, she says! I think it’s one of her silly ideas! 😉

So I did it anyway! 😉 I had to get off very quickly! Mum was calling me when she saw it, that was a pity! Lot of jealous friends were coming to see me… 😉

Mum got pictures from an airedalefan. I already told that yesterday or so. Mum said she was going to do something with them, put them in something. Well, I did not understand!

But now I’ve seen the result!  Awesome job of that sir, mum says! This mister was very kind to me too! He saw immediately it were all Kita’s in the picture! 🙂
He said I’m a beautiful lady, even more beautiful then the dales in the pictures! 😉 I was very pleased, I must tell you that. So I behaved very well in his shop, as a lady should! 😉
Other people came to see me too and did praise me! Even a little human girl of two years old came very close and touched me. I didn’t move! I just smiled as a lady should! Her human mum said she was really impressed by me!
Don’t have to tell you my mum was very, very pleased with me, do I??!!! 😉

Mum made pictures again. And I show you my favorite one! 🙂

Who wants to know where to buy them (not framed), my mum found this: http://www.ragtail.co.uk/

Vanmorgen in de hondenwei! Wel 16 honden! Dat is veel, heel veel, zeker met zo’n weer. Het was al 22°C, maar toch nog fijn. Straks wordt het weer 32°C. ’s Ochtends is er heel veel schaduw in de wei, dat vinden wij leuk.

Waarom waren er zoveel honden? Wel, de lieve logeermevrouw was er ook! En het is vakantie. Er logeren nu wel 6 honden, voor meer dan een week! Dat is leuk! Maar wat heel jammer is: opa Lennox en ik logeren er niet nu! ’t Vrouwtje en het baasje zijn thuis, dus wij ook. Niet logeren dus! Ik mis dus alle dolle pret bij de logeermevrouw! 😦 En het zwembadje! 😦

Er logeren dus zes vriendinnetjes (4) en vriendjes (2) en nog wel mijn leukste vriendjes ook! Dixie, Eva, Catou, Sammy en Oscar en Jack. Nu ja, in de wei kunnen we wel spelen! 🙂
En natuurlijk willen Gitte en Loulou en ik wel mee als de logeermevrouw vertrekt… Loulou en ik lopen flink naar ’t vrouwtje, alleen Gitte wil echt wel mee… Hihi, het lukte toch niet…
