November 19, 2022 - How I Spent My 5th Birthday

Here we go: Extensive walkies in the morning with my hooman, met some dogs and we trained 'find the treat'.  Nice breakfast with a special beef mixture. Yummie ! Resting with my other hooman until we went for an afternoon walkies by the lake. There I found the most seducing perfume in a field and couldn't resist but roll six times. I looked like a mess but was very happy 😊. 

Then...some playing at home, a snack at tea time, resting for the party, cuddles and belly rubs. The living room was nicely decorated with balloons and a Happy Birthday garland 🎈 I also put on my bling-bling collar. 

At 18h an early walk to the bus stop to pick up one of my favourite hoomans, and when we returned home the other guests had already arrived for dinner. No dogs at my party, but the owners of my best friends who are all my favourite hoomans also. I was the center of the attention !! I received yummie presents and an even yummier birthday cake.

All my favourite hoomans cuddled with me and when it was time for a toast on me, I was presented with the birthday cake and was allowed to eat it in the living room straight away. Phew, though it was small, it was still too much for me.  Happy with a full belly, I now needed to rest, and while all my favourite hoomans had dinner, I was snoozing off over their chatter on the sofa. 

Later we drove one of the guests home and walked with her a quick round late at night where she lives. I followed one more cat trail, before we returned home for a good nights rest. 

So now I'm 5. In hooman years this is 40. Well, best age, I guess 😉

Dirty Paws

So what! I'm a dog! I roll in dirt and I run through muddy fields. But I'm a good girl in the bathtub. When the shower head starts to pour water, I automatically do my bathtub ballet: raise front left paw first, then left back paw, then right back paw and then right front paw, little wash of the belly and front and rinse the beard. Shake. Ready for the towel.

... bathroom should have better illumination ...

Dandelions ??

Very sunny day yesterday, the last of a few days in a row with temperatures up to 24°C. Had a fine walk to the lake and back, past the apple plantation where the grass was very fresh and green. I love to cuddle my bum in it. 

Then a photo was taken, but wait...is this photo about me or the dandelions, eh?

Aaaah, so finally me solo in the green...

Multitasking

Today I thought why not show my favourite toy to the neighbourhood? I was actually waiting for one of the cats to sneak by so I can give it a full barking. I can even do that with the racoon in my mouth !

Don't disturb, I'm busy ...

When's that frickin' cat coming out?

How much Space does a Dog need on the Bed?

I can very much relate to that 🐶

Mademoiselle Dolly in Geneva

Went on a short trip to the Bernese Jura, that's the French speaking part of the Canton of Berne. Lot's of adventures there. Then my family had to pick up a renewed passport at a consulate in Geneva. Here's a nice photo of me on the wall by Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) at the Parc Mon Repos. In the background you can see the skyline of Geneva and the famous water fountain 'Jet d'Eau'. The weather was rather overcast, pity. 

This photo is currently trending on Facebook. Oh, I will be famous (ha ha).
