Paula came back home from her trip to the mountains this afternoon. We had all been waiting for her. Now life can return to normal.
The normal life is when all of us dogs and both our humans Paula and Daniel are at home most of the time every day. It is easier to relax, when thisis the case. Life has been good this week, even though Paula has been away, but it is better now. We love Paula. Welcome home, Paula!
There was a rugby game on TV tonight. England played Wales in the traditional Six Nations tournament. I have never been very interested in rugby. In the World Cup, I root for Japan, but Six Nations are England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. Peanut is from England, and he roots for England, of course. Because of this, I also hope for England.
By half time, Wales was in the lead 17-14, so it was not an easy game. By 62:29, the game was tied, 24-24. England did not score any more points, however, but Wales did. Wales eventually won by 40-24. Peanut was sad. I felt sorry for him. It may be better in other games, though.
It has been outside temperatures above the freezing point for most of the week. There is almost no snow left. We had a few weeks in a row with snow and really cold temperatures, but I would have wanted deeper snow and a longer winter. Spring is too early, if it starts in February. Perhaps there will be a backlash with more winter days, but I doubt it. I guess we have to hope for more snow next season.
Daniel had purchased some frozen dog food and let it thaw in the kitchen. Then he would portion it out to smaller containers to fit in the freezer. He failed with some, getting it on his clothes and on the floor. Most was saved, though. It looked funny when he failed. If dogs could laugh, maybe I would have. Daniel took it all in high spirit, whichis good.
We watched some athletics on TV, while Daniel ate his dinner. (All of us dogs had already eaten.) It was international competitions, the athletes were registered to compete for their home countries. Nevertheless, many did not wear their national colours. I guess they are sponsored by different companies or like different colours. Still, as viewers, we agreed that it would be better, had everyone competed in their national colours. Now some did, but not others, which felt strange.
Our Affenpinscher friend Morran is in heat. This means the Shiba boys are getting interested. Thus, we all get separated, so nothing will happen to Morran. It cannot be easy keeping calm, when all of those scents are flying around. Divisions can be necessary sometimes.
Paula went away this morning. We hope she will have a good time with her family members in the mountains for a week. We miss her already, but Daniel is here, taking care of us. I actually prefer staying at home.
Paula has spent the whole day cooking. She will be going away for a week with her parents, sister, nephew, and niece, and the foodis for this week. It has been nice smells all around. We got some meat toour food as well. Even though most of the food was saved, I believe it was a good day.
Twentyone years ago today, Paula and Daniel got engaged to be married. They married the year after this. Forus dogs, this is important, especially for those of us who are bred by Paula and Daniel. If it were not for them, neigher my mother, me, nor amy of my pups would have been. Javier would not either. The world would not just be different, for me, there would not be anything. It is strange to consider this. Nevertheless, I am very happy that Paula and Daniel found each other.
We got some spaghetti inour food bowls today. Spaghetti is a common formof pasta, but when you thinkof it, it is actually one of the funniest forms of pasta. The long strnads of pasta are funny. I guess it is just because spaghetti is the most common form of pasta, that you do not always think of how funny it looks. Regardless of the form, it is tasty.
This week’s qualification round for the Swedish Song Contest was better than last week’s. It is not that I care much, but Paula and Daniel follow it. There was a nice looking Samoyed dog in one of the pauses between songs, however. I liked that.
We listened to some old songs tonight. Paula played a song which is called ”Only You and Me”, bjt in Swedish. I guess it is a rather good song. Life is good, if it can be as in this song.
We were watching a Swedish film about tourists in the Swiss Alps today. The natives were speaking German. Our Affenpinscher friend Morran says German is the best human language there is. Her breed is from Germany, so I understand she thinks so.
German is a fine language, closely related to Swedish. I still believe Japanese is the best. Swedish is good, nevertheless. German is not bad, I have to give Morran this.
Dogs have the same language all over the world. This is even better.
Hello, Gerstuhl here!
We got sausage and a lot of macaroni for food today. This was great. I love it when we get other kinds of food than the usual dog food. It is like this here at the breeders as well as at my own home in Solna. Life is good.
Paula has been ill for quite some time. Several weeks, to be honest. She is better now. This evening, she and Daniel took Morran and Piffy and visited her sister and niece and nephew. This shows she is back in full health.
I am glad that Paula is feeling well again. She says she is not fully recovered, but that her visit this evening will help her recovery. This is great. We shall hope for the best.
The organisers of the Tokyo Olympic Games have issued rules on how the spectators should act, in order to lower the risk of the spread of covid-19. You will be able to clap your hands, but are discouraged from chanting or singing.
This seems like a good idea. You would want to see spectators, whenyou watch the Games on TV. Rules on their conduct to lower the risk of the spread of the disease is good. We will have to see how well it will work out.
Hello, Gerstuhl here!
Life is good by my breeders. I do miss my own excellent family, but my breeders are great. They have cheese, and distributed cheese among all of the dogs today. Life is good, whenyou get cheese.
