All Saints

 This is a day when we commemorate our lost loved ones. 

Mommy have been gone for almost a year now. Daddy Kenny for many years. Grandmother Sunni and Grandfather Kuro even longer. Auntie Linni is also a lost loved one; not a relative, but definitely a loved one. I miss all of them, and others.

We make new friends throughout our lives, but we never forget old friends. I believe our hearts grow with each new loved one we get. We lose loved ones, but not our love for them. Love is one of the things that makes life worth living. Love is good.

Charging the Car

The new car can be run on electricity. We charge it with a cable from the barn. This is nice. I have never liked the exhaust fumes from cars and mopeds that run on petrol. 

We will have to see when the time comes for me to try the car out. 

Terror Attack

Humans were stabbed with a knife in a church in the French town Nice today. This was probably an act of terrorism. More will be known in the days to come, I am sure.

We must never let the terrorists win. Long live the free society, where humans are equal and dogs are loved!

Forgetful

Throughout this day, I had this eerie feeling that I had forgotten to write any blog entry yesterday. I could not quite remember, however. Now that I open up the blog app, I can see that my feeling was a representation of a truth. I really did forget to write anything in my blog yesterday. Still, I cannot recall why this may have happened. The memory is strangely bad once in a while. I am glad this is not common.

Water On the Moon

There is water on the Moon, more than previously thought. This bodea well for future manned missions to the Moon.

Just like Mommy, I have a registered name which is inspired by the Moon. Mommy was always interested of the Moon. I guess I am as well, but there will be at least decades before dogs go there. It will not happen in my lifetime. It would be a sign of progress, however, when this happens.

Fish Pate

Paula made one of her signature dishes tonight: fish pate. It is really tasty, I know from previous times. It also smells great. However, I did not get any tonight. It was a bad night, that way. Paula and Daniel were both in a happy mode, so were many of theother dogs, I could not really be in a bad mood myself. Life has its ups and downs, sometimes at the same time.

Normal Time

We reset the clocks today. We do not have daylight savings time anymore, this year. This is good, it makes  for a few more mornings when our morning walks are in daylight.

Cruising

Paula and Daniel went cruising with the new car today. This was not just for fun. When you have a new car, you need to get to knowit, to be able to handle it in the best possible way. Cruising with a new car is, thus, something that is done in the name of traffic safety.

I wish I would have had the opportunity to come along on the cruise. It will be interesting to experience a ride in the new car. This is bound to happen, eventually.

New Car

We have a new car. It is not really ours yet, however. There was some issue with a tax return or something, that the seller would get. Bureaucracy can hamper you, it did this time. We will just have to see when the car can really be ours.

Rain

We have had a lot of rain lately. It rained on our morning walk today.

It is not fun when it is raining and you are outdoors. We have to think of the good things about the rain, our well is filling up. Water is a necessity. It is just that I wish it would fall from the sky at night, when we are all indoors sleeping, anyway.

Affirmed Quality

The chimney sweep was here today. He was a nice fellow, not perplexed or affraid by us dogs.

The chimney was in full working order. The chimney sweep did take some ash away from the chimney, but not much. Now we can go on using the fire place. This is one more thing which is in order for winter. 

Ash

We have had a lot of ash in our fire place. Tonight, we cleaned this out. The chimney sweep will come tomorrow. It is good to have the fire place reasonably clean before the chimney sweep comes. When the chimney sweep has been here, we will be able to continue using the fire place for the whole winter. This is good.

Economy

Daniel is at the city council today and tomorrow. They are discussing the economy for the city and how the economy will be next year. This is important, but I believe it is really dull. Paula agrees with me. I am glad Daniel does not think so, though, because while it is important, it is good that some smart people think it is interesting. 

A Little Rest

Sundays are days of rest. We had a little rest today. All of us slept for longer than usual in the morning. For a while in the afternoon, Paula and Daniel went away for some errands, then all of us dogs could rest. It has been a good day.

The Last Samurai

We watched the Hollywood movie The Last Samurai tonight. For being an American movie, I believe it gives a good image of 19th century Japan. I like it. 

Killed Wolf, Saved Dog

At an elk hunt in the north of our county (Örebro län), a hunter had to shoot and kill a wolf. Authorities have investigated the case and found that the shot was justified. The wolf was attacking a hunting dog and the hunter shot to save the dog.

While the death of a wolf is always a sad event, I must also find the shot justified. A wolf should not attack another member of its species. If it does, killing the wolf is justified, if nothing else works in the heat of the moment. 

I am glad that the dog was saved. In a fight, both dog and wolf may have been mortally wounded. 

The Cats

We have had two kittens since last winter. They are almost young adult cats now. Both cats have become nice members of our family.

Cats are kittens for a longer time than dogs are pups. A cat is a kitten for twelve months, while a dog is a pup for nine months. It remains to be seen if our cats can ever be so mature as adults as all of us dogs are.

Covid-19 Reinfection

A man in the USA has become ill with covid-19 for the second time. This is very rare, but not unique. He is the first known person, however, who has become more seriously ill the second time.

The case raises questions on immunity and how certain it can be. People who have had the disease are therefore encouraged to still keep the same social distance as if they would not have been infected.

I hope there will be an effective vaccine soon. 

No New Beds

Rumour had it, we would get new beds today. The delivery lorry did not show up in the afternoon, though. I guess this was what Daniel talked to the store about in the morning. He told them Paula felt of a cold and did not want them to come. We have to wait for a week or so.

New beds are always nice. Paula and Danielhave often purchased new beds for us dogs. They have had the same beds for the,selves since before I was born, however. I think, since before Mommy was born. They deserve new, comfortable beds. 

We have to see what the new beds are like, once they come.

Just Another Day

There are days which just pass by, when it seems like nothing of any importance happens. This was such a day. It is not that I disliked this day, it just did not give me any special feelings at all. Ihope tomorrow will be a more exciting day. You are welcome back to the blog tomorrow, to see if there is anything more exciting that I can write about then. I do think it is. Truly uneventful days are not very common, fortunately.
