One Less Reaponsibility

At an annual meeting tonight, Daniel was not re-elected to the board of the local party organisation. It was his own choice not to stand for re-election after fourteen years. He is glad it is over, even though he has not ruled out a come back some time in the future. Time will tell. We are happy for Daniel, who thinks it is nice to have one less reaponsibility.

Saint Patrick? Saint Gertrud!

Some people write about Saint Patrick on social media. He is the patron saint of Ireland. However, Daniel tells us that in Sweden, we celebrate Saint Patrick on the 16th April. Today is the day of Saint Gertrud in Sweden. This is especially important in our family, since Paula’s mother is called Gertrud. Paula and Daniel have congratulated her on her name day. National traditions are important, and may vary from country to country. In Sweden, we stick to Swedish traditions.

Chocolate

Paula got some fine chocolate today, when she was thanked for ending a few years on the board of the regional kennel club. She liked the chocolate.

There was no chocolate for us dogs, because chocolate is not healthy for us. We did not care much, because we got other Saturday candy instead. 

The kennel club is important. Paula will continue to work for it, not just on the board. There are a logic other things she can do to contribute. We are sure she will keep doing a good job.

Daniel is still on the board.

Something Else

There are times when I would like to do something else, be somewhere else.


On the other paw, I quite like it where I am. Life is good.

Band Aid

Daniel cut his thumb on a knife today, when he cooked dinner. It was not a big cut, but needed a band aid to help stop the bleeding. The trouble is that the band aid sits just at the small area of the thumb, which Daniel uses on touch screens. I am glad my paws hold up better, so I won’t need a band aid on the part of my front paw that I use on touch screens. Band aids are good, but the ability to use touch screens is impaired. I guess the cut is healed tomorrow.

Wednesday the 13th

Some humans say that Friday the 13th is a day of bad luck. There is, apparently, some sort of event in European history that took place on a Friday the 13th one year and which was the root for this superstition. Today is Wednesday the 13th. I have never heard anything about bad luck on a Wednesday the 13th. I am not superstitious, we dogs are not. It is just that I find it odd that it is just the combination of the 13th and a Friday that would bring bad luck. Why not a Wednesday? Humans are odd in their beliefs sometimes.

Cheese

We got some cheese as a late night snack. 


Cheese is one of those processed foods that make me glad I am a dog. Our humans make cheese for us, through their ingenuity. If our foremothers had not joined forces with humans, to become dogs, instead of wolves, we would never enjoy cheese. Sure, the meat that wolves eat is great, but as a dog, you have a more diversified diet. This is tastier and, I dare say, healthier. 


I wish we would get cheese more often.
