Sunshine, Spring

It is really spring now, by the end of March.

The sun was shining. It was so comfortable in the sun outdoors, that our cat Totte stayed outside when Paula asked him if he wanted to come inside. Cats are notorious for deciding for themselves. In this instance, I understood Totte's decision. 

Continuation

Paula and Daniel was at a meeting with the Örebro län Kennel Club. Daniel was re-elected as a member of the board. We are proud of him for this important position. 

Weird Weekend

This was weird. I forgot to write blog entries for both Saturday and Sunday.

The weekend was weird in more than this way. We turned the clocks in the night between Saturday and Sunday. Now we have "Daylight Saving Time". I have never understood why you would have to do this. It is just weird. 

Dogs in India

More and more dogs in India lives a good life. You can read about it in this interesting article. 

We guess that earlier, many people in the West had a view of India as a mostly poor country with poor dogs. Things change for the better, fortunately. 

Sausages and Dog Food

Paula served us some sausages today. Then she served us dog food. 

Did she really think we would want ordinary dog food, after we got sausages? 

Dog food is good, but it does not measure up to most sausages. 

Music

There are times when Paula or Daniel plays music. They do it more often in the evening, when all the chores of the day are done.

Music is not a thing that I care much about. It is still rather interesting how humans can care so much about music. Since I am interested in humans, I take some interest in music as well. Still, I just listen to the music they listen to. Music makes my humans happy, thus, it makes me happy. I guess this is enough. 

Kastanjemanden

We have watched a Danish TV series over the last few days. It was called Kastanjemanden and was about a murder investigation.

Paula and Daniel thought Kastanjemanden was very good. I thought there were too few dogs in it. I enjoy it much more, when dogs play prominent roles on TV. I guess I can recommend it anyway, based upon what Paula and Daniel thought about it. If you are into dark police stories, you can watch it. 

Minced Meat

Thisis not the first time I write about minced meat. It will not be the last time, either. Minced meat is just so good, it deserves many blog entries.

We got minced meat this evening, when Paula cooked tacos for her and Daniel. It was not long before the plate was empty. 

Later, we got cooked and taco seasoned minced meat. This was not at all as good. Why do you have to season something which tastes so good in itself? 

Cooking

We helped Paula to cook this Sunday. Dogs are good at many things that needs to be done in the kitchen. The pre dish washing cycle is our responsibility, and we are very good at it. 

It feels good to help in the kitchen. 

Earth Hour?

There was something called Earth hour this evening. This is a hour when you are supposed to do more to preserve Earth and the environment. I do not understand this. I think it is better if you preserve the Earth and the environment continuously. We dogs do. 

Spring Equinox

It was the spring equinox yesterday. We are closer to summer. I hope spring wiĺl come soon. 

Breeders’ Meeting

Paula, Daniel, and I went to a breeders’ meeting with the Örebro län’s Kennel Club. 

Paula and Daniel enjoyed he discussions more than I did. I did enjoy the ham that I got, however. As long as I get treats like ham, I can endure any boring meeting. 

Working From Home

Daniel came home this afternoon and worked from home. It is always nice when he does this. Life is better when everyone in the family is at home.

We wish both Paula and Daniel could work more from home than they do. 

Gulf Name

There has been some debate about the name of the Gulf of Mexico lately. An American fellow wants to rename it.

Pepe and I believe that if the Gulf of Mexico would change names, the new name should be the Gulf of Chihuahua. 

Malin in the Barn

When Daniel fetched wood for the fire place yesterday, Malin the cat went intighet barn where we store wood. She did not come out. Much later, she just sat outside the door to the house, waiting to get in. We do not know how Malin and her cat brother Totte get in and out of the barn, but they have their ways. 

It is a good thing the house is so well built and isolated, that there are no ways for the cats to sneak in and out. It is not that I would deny them the right, but such a way would also let out heat. I would not want to let out heat that way. 

Minced Chicken Meat

Paula cooked lasagne on chicken meat today. Some of the minced chicken meat went to us dogs. We all liked it. Later on, we also got some lasagne, which we also enjoyed.

There are rumours that lasagne can be vegetarian. We do not believe in these rumours. Why would you make a great dish so much worse by removing the main ingredient? 

Race

The Formula 1 season of 2025 started today. The race was so early, Swedish time, that we did not get up to see it.

We are disappointed that there is no longer any Mexican driver in Formula 1. Morran may root for the single German driver, but says there should be more Germans. There is noone from Sweden, either.

Formula 1 is highly competitive and we just have tohope there will be more drivers from our countries in the future. 

Party

Paula and Daniel went away this evening. They went to a birthday party for a friend.

It was nice that we dogs got to stay at home. We do not know this friend and there wouldnot have been any other dogs at the party, anyway. We had fun at home, instead.

While it is best when everyone is at home, there are advantages with the situations when we have the house for ourselves. Life is a party.

Cold Morning

It was really cold this morning. We had -9° C outdoors. It was not very warm indoors either, at least not until Daniel had started a fire in the fireplace. 

In the afternoon, it was beautiful weather with sunshine. We just hope the clear sky will not mean it will once again be a cold night. 

As Daniel says, we have to expect winter days in March in Sweden. We do not have to like them, though. It felt good to get back to sleep this morning. 

Too Early Morning

Daniel usually gets up early in the morning to go to work. This is a perfect time for us dogs to go outside for a while, after which we can go back to sleep. 

This morning, Daniel got up much earlier than usual. He was going on a business trip, so he had to leave earlier than usual. This was too early for us, so we stayed in bed. 

Tomorrow morning, we hope the normal schedule is back.
