A lady? Yes… but… a rebellious one!

Okay, when mum came home late this afternoon I was hungry and I got my dinner all right. Later dan normal, there was a metro-strike… That’s not my business, metro-strikes. I want my dinner in time.

So after dinner I thought I should teach mum and her metro-strikes a little lesson! 😉

First rule in the house? Ladies are only allowed to bark when the door bell rings! Not today, when I’m in a rebellious mood I bark at whatever, but not the door bell! Haha, mum was not pleased! She even had the blinking box… That did not please me so I stopped it. Mum won again! She always wins! 😦

Second rule in the house: don’t touch anything on shelfs or cupboards. Grandpa was quite good in that! So I learned from him not to… Today mum was arranging some things and she did put something on a shelf quite near my bed… I wanted to sniff! No! I had to go in the bed, but I did not want to… I stayed beside the bed, looking at that new thing down there. So did mum… looking at me… After more than half an hour, I gave up… mum won again. 😦

What do you say? Oh no, I won’t touch it in the future: I’m a lady! What did you think? An airedale lady? 😉 Yesyes, but a well behaved one, although I can be rebellious! 😉 Mum says that’s why she loves me: rebellious but well behaving in the end… ❤ Love my mum too! ❤ Late dinner and metro-strikes or not! 😉

 

 

More beach-fun… to show!

Today was a rather dull wednesday. We only went to the little dogpark but mum said I was a good girl! Of course I was, I played with her with the toy! She exercised her throwing-game, so I had to help a little…

But I have still a few exciting things from the seaside to show! I found a bucket! That was great! And later, I fell in a kind of well or hole… mum did not get the blinking thing ready to get that! hahaha! But I examined the other ‘wells’… Strange! Did not dare to dig…

 

Beach… and training? Difficult!

So we were at the seaside this weekend. Today mum is back at her library and I can tell about my adventures.

When we are at the beach, we sometimes play a game my mum calls “training”. She says it is something we need doing regularly so that I won’t forget! Sometimes mum is a bit silly: aireladies NEVER forget! Wich does not mean that aireladies always want to play that game she calls training! 😉 Life can be more interesting then mum’s games, surely at the beach! 😉

That’s why we need doing it, Kita!

So last weekend there were a lot of children and people and doggies… so very interesting! And exactly then, mum wants to play her game! I can assure you that when she decided to play the training-game, then you better get serious or you get in big trouble in stead of earning treats.

Okay, game can be fun when I do it good! Then mum often says I’m a good girl and I get some treats! And… mum filmed me being good! That’s what I want to show you. 🙂 Of course… and really, there were no bloopers this time: I was a good girl! 🙂

 

 

 

Some changes to tell about…

Dear grandpa Lennox

Yes, it’s the little one calling!
I have some news to tell you about, I like to keep you informed, you know!

There is the whole story about the beds… One is high up, with mum’s fluffies in it! That’s special!
But there is that other one, the orthopedic bed, for your old bones. And me, I got the same, but a little one. Yes, a little one for the little one. 😉
I asked mum and dad if I could sleep in yours… as I already did. I only had to bark once and you got out and give me the place. Well, they agreed. They did put the little one elsewhere (near the big table) and now I’m in your big bed! Mum says you agree from there on the Bridge, having a huge comfy bed over there!

And then, there is that other news… maybe you’ll be a bit angry about it. Remember you always said there’s only one boss? And then you did not obey mum when dad was around, you obeyed her very well when dad was not at home. You said I had to follow that rule… but the contrary… I should obey mum and not dad when mum is around and I always obey dad when mum is in her library.
Well, this lady decided otherwise: I obey both now when both are around and I even got to play your game on the beach, obeying both of them! Don’t be too angry because I followed your rule number one: always go for treats! You always said that was the number 1-rule! Hope all this is all right with you, but I’m quite sure about that! 😉 In the end, you always agreed with this little one… And some things never change, mum says! 

Big hugs from the little one. ❤

PS I asked mum to add some pics and a short video.

 

Halloween-Kita meets… another king: Elvis!

These days are so busy! We came to the seaside, oh yes, mum has some holidays! Yesterday evening, it was time to say Hallo! And to do scary things, mum says. Well, mum and me (grandpa, you see it?), we don’t like scary Hallo’s! 

So we went to the beach and we did that in a safe and not scary way! Mum’s human pup brought me something from her petshop: another collar with lights, but a special one. This one needs the tv-typing-machine to give light! Mum thinks that is awesome and handy! 🙂 I supervised everything!
So mum saw me running on the beach, that means: she saw the light! Not me. (see video!) I did not go too far though. 😉 Mum had no collar. 😦
Some kids called me a Hallo-something-dog! Mum, I’m not scary, am I? 😦

In the morning I got up quite early and before breakfast I went for a walk with my dad! Before noon, I did some running on the beach with mum and at noon we went to the restaurant! On our way to that place we met another king: Elvis! My mum and dad were talking with their mum and dad. They were talking about grandpa and about another labrador who is at the Bridge too! A chocolate one, a sweetie! We saw a pic! 🙂 All mums and dads were talking about how much they love their doggies.

And we? The king and the lady (grandpa, you pay attention???) were playing! We get along very well! ❤  Maybe we’ll meet them one of these days on the beach, won’t we mum? Then we can run and run and run! 🙂 

 

 

As promised!… Meeting old friends in the digging business!

Promised you that I would tell about meeting my old friends! Last Sunday morning, dad, mum and me (see it, grandpa???) went to the huge dogpark! At a certain moment, I saw it and I ran to them… I heard mum and dad say: maybe it is Lucien and Sammy?!

They were right! As always, my retriever friends both were very far away from their mums! Ohlala! I ran to them, but then Sammy disappeared completely, even when her mum came and she whistled, Sammy did not come! Naughty girl! Another mum reported a lost white dog at the other end of the huge park, in the bushes. Lucien’s mum said: Lucien: get Sammy! Lucien is a very brave boy and he run and run to ‘fetch’ Sammy! I safely stayed with my mum and dad, talking to the other mums. But there they came! 🙂 Everybody reassured!

Naughty Sammy was rolling in the sand! That was funny! Lucien and me… we were exploring the digging business!
It was fun to see my friends from the tree-dogpark again! I am very happy to have so many friends every where! 🙂 ❤

 

 

Holiday… autumn… exhausted!

These days are quite busy… Mum has a few holidays. We go a lot to the huge dogpark where I met some old friends! That’s the story for tomorrow. Mum has no time to make the video! How come?

Yesterday mum and dad went to Amsterdam to meet the mum and dad of Mano. They are French people from the Corrèze. They spend a few days in Amsterdam, so mum and dad went to see them. 
No, I could not go there. 😦 But!!! But I went to holiday mum’s place! From early in the morning till late in the evening! I played with Dixie, Flo and Colette. So, I played from early in the morning till late in the evening, I did not rest a minute! 

Dixie is 14 years old, she is a grandma and a good friend of my grandpa. Her dad (my sir at the green clothes-clinic) told her about grandpa’s journey to the Bridge!
When holiday mum was not looking, Dixie managed to open the very big barrel with the food kibbles to comfort me a bit. So we had an extra meal before holiday mum appeared. That was fun! 😉 Sweet Dixie! ❤

About 23.00 hours we went home with the metro! You remember all the stairs we have to go up to leave the station? I was so very, very tired and mum too! She sighed she could not take the escalator…

What happened? Dad looked at us and said to me: Come here! I did, as a lady should! You know what he did??? He carried me! He took me in his arms and together we took the escalator! I kept very, very still, as a little baby! All the way up there! That’s my dad, folks! He carries tired ladies! 🙂 ❤

And today? Mum tries to wake me up but I go on sleeping… fototoot or not… Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

Hurrah! Hoera! Hourra!… You did it!

Mum had to help me! Really, she has a lot of explaining to do since grandpa can’t do it anymore! Today we had a lesson in maths! She explained how to count the clicks! My dogness! Difficult, difficult!!

We started the clicks-business on the 25th of october at 23.00 hours. In one hour time we got 979 clicks (above on the 421 clicks we already had that day on another post). October 26 we counted 1987 clicks till 23.00 hours that day! That makes 2966 clicks! Mum says that’s almost 1000 more than 2000. And today a lot of friends (897) were clicking too so I told mum to count these too, of course!
That makes a total of 3863 clicks on this one post, a real time travel, one friend called it! Thanks a lot, you all! My maths did approve a lot with this clicking business! 😉 And it was fun to see the reactions… ❤

After the maths-lesson, I saw dad with grandpa’s bed. He did it put high up. I asked him if it was really grandpa’s bed. Yesyes! We keep his bed without him in it? I suppose he has a very large comfy bed at the Bridge.
Anyway, his bed is wel occupied now! That was mum’s idea! Sometimes she has great ideas! Remark the word sometimes!! 😉

So she did put many of her little fluffy friends in grandpa’s bed, high up there! It is so cute and funny! I like it. I even could enter the bedroom for the fototoot! My dogness… I’m a bit spoiled these days! Sssssttttt. … 

 

500!… Start of a kind of new life, so back in time… and fun-clicks asked, aireforce!

It has been a special week, but this also is a special moment! Today I am telling you story number 500!

I told mum I wanted to do something special: this being number 500 and grandpa Lennox going to the Bridge this week and me making a different and new life… kind of.
Mum was sighing… She said I should look for an idea!

Mum, mum… remember! Remember when I and you, oh sorry, I should say ‘you and I’ grandpa always said… so when we had 400 stories? We asked every one to click on the picks to have 1000 clicks. Can’t we do that again to have 2000 clicks, from all over the world??? Please? You look for old pics on your tv-typing-machine: with me and grandpa and you… Sorry, with grandpa and you and me…
Friends will like that! Grandpa at the Bridge too: he can ask his new friends to click too??

Kita, they will be bored by so many pics!

No, no… don’t say that! We start with pics of today of me and my very big friend Marcel in the huge dogpark. Then we go back in time untill me being born! Yes, mum, yes! Islay and Hexe and Mr Bean and Endora, Dusty and Mauricee and Monty, Molly, Taffy and Winnie and Sam and Ike and Ina and Apollo and Gitte and Féline and…will like that too!

Okay, okay! Here we go!

Life always goes on… Rainy-friday-fun!

Mum always says: “Weer of geen weer: een hond moet bewegen”. For all those far away friends, I’ll explain it. Translated it sounds as: “Weather or no weather, a dog needs to move”. I always think it is a bit stupid: there always is “weather”. Good weather or bad weather, but anyway there is weather.

Must say she always says this stupid thing when it is raining… Mayby it means: it rains. Why does she not say that? Grandpa could have known it, maybe… 😦

Anyway, there is no weather 😉 , it rains and we go out! We go for a good run in the huge dogpark, mum says, weather or no weather! Mum, please, talk a bit as a normal human! 😉

I was busy in the running business, and in the water business too! Good day today! 🙂 I even winked at mum! And I even tried to imitate Hunting Henry! 😉

… Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… for the rest of the day… 🙂
