Open Window

It is warm enough outside now, that we can have an open window in the bedroom for a long time and it does not get colder. One of the windows was open for a long time. A little while after Daniel had closed it, Paula asked if it was still open. You could not sense any immediate change. It was nice to get a little fresh air in, though.

Now we just have to wait for the summer days when it is definitely warmer outdoors than indoors. There are never many such days in a Swedish summer, but we cherish the ones there are. 

A Few Meatballs

While we always have a decent amount of dog food, there is not always more food given. Today, Daniel gave us a few meatballs, though. 

Even though we did not get more than a few meatballs, it was always something. You should not complain that you get just a few meatballs, when you do have a lot of other food and the alternative could be no meatballs.

Life is good with a few meatballs. 

Complaints

When Daniel vacuumed today, Paula complained over the noise. This is a weird complaint. The vacuuming is done to keep the floors clean. It is better for paws and feet with a clean floor. I am not fond of the noise of the vacuum cleaner either, but I do not complain over it. 

A Day Off

It was a national holiday yesterday, in memory of Christ’s ascention into Heaven. Thus, many people take this Friday off, since it is one day between the holiday and the free weekend. This year, both Paula and Daniel took the day off. They generally just took it easy. So did all of us dogs. They also had a few arguments, but none of us dogs had. Besides the arguments, it was a nice day. 

Third Time

This afternoon, Daniel mowed the lawn for the third time this season. 

Daniel and I have made a deal that I will write in the blog about every time he mows the lawn this year. This is so we can remember how many times he does it. We have often lost count other years, because we have not thought of keeping a record of the count. This season, we do.

We are glad the lawn is mowed. For small dogs like us, it is easier to move around on a well kept lawn. It also diminishes the risk of ticks, which is good. 

Funeral

Paula and Daniel went to a funeral in Stockholm today. It takes a while to go there and back, but they wanted to go. It was the funeral of Daniel’s mother. We all wish her a safe after-life. 

Blankets

Paula’s blanket fell on the floor, so she took Daniel’s blanket. Then Daniel came to the bed, saw that he did not have any blanket, and took a new blanket for his bed. I guess he did not realise Paula had taken the blanket from his bed, because he did no effort to take it back. Morran suggested he just did not want to pick a fight over blankets, and maybe this is true. He never told us, he just brought a new blanket. It was nice to have the new blanket to rest upon. 

Slugs

When it rains, the slugs appear. The killer slugs, that is, also called Spanish slugs, because they are probably originally from the Iberian peninsula. There are too many of this invasive species here, so Daniel does what he can to take them away. He says there are fewer this year than last, but after the rain this evening, he picked out a whole lot of them. Paula dislike the slugs even more, so she lets Daniel take care of them. All of us dogs also let Daniel do it, even though we agree that the yard is better of without these slugs. If only they were tasty and edible, there would be some use for them.
