Unnecessary Things

We have spent part of today identifying old things which we do not use any longer. Such unnecessary things occupy space without contributing anything. We will see if we can sell or give away anything. Other things may just be garbage that we will throw away. The main thing is to get rid of these unnecessary things. What will happen to them remains to be seen. 

It would be better to have candy instead. 

Memories

We have talked a lot about memories of older dogs tonight. There are many fond memories to talk about. Life is not just here and now, it is also what we have been through and the dogs who we knew then. It has shaped the current us. This feels good. 

Why?

Why is it that you can be so sad on a beautiful day? 

Angels Crying

Some people say that when it is raining, the angels are crying. This must mean they are sad. There are times when I can really understand the angels being sad, because I am also sad. This is such a day. It is suitable, then, that it is raining today. The angels are crying. 

Suspect Arrested

A key suspect in the investigation of an attempted political murder in Colombia has been arrested. I wrote about this attempted murder in the blog on the 9 June. 

It has turned out that the fifteen year old shooter had older accomplishes who had planned the deed and who had persuaded him to shoot. 

The investigators seem to have made a good job. We can hope that all of the people behind the crime will be sentenced for it and that the victim will make it through. 

Drying Rack

Daniel purchased a new drying rack today. This was put in the bathroom to hang laundry on to dry. 

Paula stayed at home with us dogs, since she did not feel well. We took care of her.

Laundry and drying racks are things dogs never need. We have coats which protect us, so we do not need clothes. I am glad we do not need it, it is much easier not to have clothes. We would not need any drying rack. 

Tacos

We had the best 4th of July dinner imaginable today – tacos. This is originally Mexican food, which has become common in the USA as well. For Pepe and I, who are Chihuahuas, we really enjoyed it.

Taco spices in minced meat is a treat. 

Hamburgers

Paula made hamburgers for dinner. 

The best part of this, was when minced meat was served to us dogs. Minced meat is a blessing of civilisation. Meat is always nice, but it is easier and tastier to eat it, when it is minced already. 

We wish we could get minced meat more often. 

Twentyfive Year Old Bridge

The bridge between Denmark’s capital Copenhagen and Malmö in Sweden was opened twentyfive years ago. This is a long time, especially in the time perspective of a dog. 

I have never been to Denmark. Rumour has it, sausages have a brighter red colour there. This might be interesting to see, but it is the smell and taste that is important. Swedish sausages are good enough, I believe. 

Building bridges is a good thing. It has boosted the economy in the area near the bridge, thus, it has also strengthened the economy of both Sweden and Denmark. It has made it easier for dogs to cross the border too, which is good. I think it is a good bridge.
