Narva

On this day in the year 1700, Sweden won a huge military victory at Narva versus Russia. Narva was Swedish at the time, near the border to Russia. It is now in Estonia, near the border to Russia.

One would hope Ukraine would win an equally huge military battle versus Russia in the current war. 

Uncharged

Paula struggles with her mobile telephone. The battery is empty. She tries to get it to charge, but we have some chargers that does not work. Life is hard, when you want to use your mobile device, but can't.

All of us dogs and cats make sure our mobile devices are charged.

Colder Weather

It is getting colder now. We had freezing temperatures this evening, which is a first for this season. We have only had this in the mornings before, this autumn. It is clear winter is coming. 

Rumour has it, we might get snow later this week. The good thing about snow is that it makes the dark times of the year brighter. Some snow on the roof also helps isolate the house. If snow comes, we hope it will stay for a while, but we will have to see what happens. 

Unfortunate Coincidences

At a horse race in Cheltenham, Great Britain, three horses died. Two of the horses died of cardio-vascular causes, the grounds of which is still to be determined. Another horse sustained fatal injuries after falling at a fence.

It is sad to read about this. It isimportant to note, nevertheless, that none of the fatalities had the same cause. The fact that there were three deaths at the same race was just due to unfortunate coincidences. Race horses are treated well and get regular veterinary care. Horse races can go on, despite these unfortunate fatalities. 

Almost a Full Moon

There was a full Moon yesterday. The overcast sky prevented us from seeing it. This evening, we have a clear sky and a fine view of the almost full Moon. 

Nights with a clear sky heralds a cold morning the next day. We are prepared for this. There is heat in the radiators and wood to be burned in the stove, if our humans want to. It will be cozy indoors tomorrow. 

Pepe Went Away

Pepe went on a holiday today. He will live with a couple of other Chihuahuas for a couple of days. 

This is not the first time Pepe is away. We miss him a little already.

I wonder what Pepe is up to. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say, when he is back. He is not much into talking about such things, however. We will have to see, when he is back.

Nothing Special

There are days when it seems like nothing special occurs. This was such a day. 

Some of the days when nothing special happens, I write blog entries about some news article or things like this. Hailey and Polly often did, when they were in charge of this blog. Once in a while, I cannot find anything interesting that I want to write about. This is such a day.

If you want to read anything new in this blog, come back tomorrow. There is probably something more interesting to read about tomorrow.
