Dumplings

Paula cooked dumplings today. These proved to be a favourite of Pepe.

Usually, Pepe is rather picky with the food he is given. Usually, he backs down, when somebody else want the food – just because he does not care enough to take the fight.

Today, Pepe jumped at the dumplings. He protected his share seemingly with his life, growling and scaring the cats away. Dumplings must really be Pepe's favourite dish. I am happy for him, that he got the dumplings today. 

Predictive Text

When you get a new device to write electronic text upon, it always has a setting to use "predictive text". This means that the app tries to select words for you, instead of letting you write words yourself. It also changes some words to others, by itself.

We do not know the true purpose of predictive text, but we suspect it is invented just to annoy anyone who uses it. 

Daniel has turned the predictive text function off on his new tablet. We are very grateful for this. It is much easier to write any text without this function. 

Dough Maker

Paula and Daniel went grocery shopping today. When they came back home, they had a new kitchen appliance, a machine that helps you make dough when you bake bread. 

Humans like bread. Pepe and I are not as fond of it. We believe your diet should contain more meat. 

We guess that if you want to bake bread, a machine like this is nice to have. Paula has talked for a long time about wanting one. We hope she likes it and will use it a lot. 

Dog Show Committee

There was an on line meeting with the Örebro län Kennel Club Dog Show Committee tonight. Daniel participated,  so we could hear some of the things that were discussed.  The club will have very nice dog shows next year. So far, there are decisions to be made, so I cannot tell you everything, but there will be events to look forward to. The official Askersund Dog Show is fixed in time to the 8–9 August, so you can enter this into your calendar at once, if you have not already done this. Good luck at any dog shows next year!

First of Advent

We celebrated the First Sunday of Advent today. For us, this is not just the first day of the period waiting for the arrival of Christ at Christmas. The First of Advent is also the anniversary of the day when Paula and Daniel became an item, a couple. If it were not for this, we would probably not be here. This blog would probably not exist. Life is full of points in history before us, that must have happened for our lives to turn out as good as they did. I love that Paula and Daniel became a couple. 

New Tablet

Daniel has bought a new tablet. We will no longer use the old tablet. 

It is interesting to try a new device.  I have logged in to the blog on this new tablet now. It looks a little different, but mostly the same. 

I will still be able to use telephones or computers, as usual, but I have always used the old tablet the most. I believe this new tablet will become my new prefered device, but time will tell. There will be just as many daily blog entries as usual, regardless of which device I use. 

Crunchy Cheese Bites

Paula had bought something special today. Both Pepe and I loved it. This was crunchy cheese bites.

We have always liked cheese. We also like reasonably chewy, crunchy things. These cheese bits also had a nice size, just enough for us Chihuahuas. 

Pepe and I asked Paula to buy more of these crunchy cheese bites. We hope she does.
