Spencer’s not the only one to enjoy the sun that comes into our living room in the morning these days. The dogs have taken to lazing around in it as well.
As promised, Rotterdam didn’t see any snow this weekend! It’s still sunny and beautiful just like I planned. Only 13 days now until the official [...]
Bailey (top right) and Pixel (bottom right) peacefully engaging another dog. A rare occasion indeed!
This week’s Photo Hunt theme is Daily. One thing that is a part of our daily life, come rain or shine, is walking the dogs… and the drama that comes along with it. I snapped this photo last week [...]
Merry Christmas from Pixel and Bailey!
We have one year to try to teach Pixel to sit still before next year’s Christmas photos! Wish us luck, we’ll need it!
Yesterday is snowed in the Netherlands and I woke up and squealed like a crazy person. Thankfully I was home alone as it was one of the few days this month that my husband was called in to work. I thought about going out to take photos but it was so dark and dreary that [...]
So does Bailey!
… or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell.
He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm. Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera. We’ve tried so many [...]
According to Bailey… it’s Chestnuts!!
This has been a bad few weeks for me pet wise and anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I love my pets and it breaks my heart when anything happens to them.
First there was Bailey’s attack by a pit bull, which frightened the life out of me and has [...]
Bailey in his Medical Pet Shirt, so much nicer than a big ugly cone!
Sunday night Xander and I went out with the dogs at about 10pm. As we were walking along Xander was telling me how he met up with a guy a few nights ago with two big Staffordshire’s off their leashes, and when [...]
People often ask me how our pets get along together, and there is no real way to answer that as it all depends on each of their moods. Spencer generally avoids the dogs, and the dogs love to chase him every chance they get. Bailey, at 6 years old still is very playful, but at [...]
If you have two dogs, and you use those extension leads with the big plastic handles… don’t do like I did today and think you can hold both of them and your camera at the same time. Whatever is out there can wait. Otherwise, you will just end up deciding it’s a good idea to [...]
Did you ever get the feeling you are being watched?
Can you tell it’s dinner time? I was getting the stare down by the three of them wondering when they were getting fed. Xander doesn’t usually do it but I think he figured if it works for the dogs…
Pixel turned five months old today. She’s growing [...]
The time has come to tackle our bedroom and get it up to date with the rest of our house. It has been a long time coming! We’ve been living in this flat for about 8 years and we’ve not done a single thing to it since we moved in. When we bought the flat [...]
Pixel is now 4 months old and has been living with us for 2 months. We are madly in love with her! Bailey is as well, thankfully. The housebreaking thing is going ok, the mistakes are fewer than in previous weeks, although she is still getting out for a walk every 2.5 hours or so. [...]
Have you ever just wished someone would shut the hell up? (I wonder how many of you thought ‘yeah you!’ when I said that haha)
Anyhow, today I realized that Bailey is smarter than all of us. While playing with Pixel on my footstool I guess he got sick of her because this was the result.
I [...]
Some people have been asking how Bailey has felt about Pixel joining the family. Well, in the beginning he wanted nothing to do with her, but now they are the best of friends.
In the morning when they come out of their beds they are so happy to see each other. They roll around on the [...]
Things have been a little ‘bleh’ here lately, I’m sick with yet ANOTHER cold (yeah, my third since October, wtf?!) and am stressed out and frazzled about a multitude of things. Thankfully I have like, the best husband in the world, so I know it’ll all be ok.
So instead of getting into all [...]
A snippet from my Spats section:
Dogs Balls
- Repeated
Since Bailey turned six months old Xander and I have had an ongoing argument about his balls. I want to get him fixed, Xander doesn’t. Now I understand it’s just male instinct to want to preserve all testicles on the planet, but there must be limits. Where I [...]
Ever since I’ve gone back to work, one of the hardest things to deal with has been leaving Bailey home alone. He’s my baby! Leave me alone, I know it’s sad! For the past five years he’s had me by his side all the time and suddenly he’s being left all alone. Look at that [...]
After me making that post about the Tammy Cold (scroll down I can’t be arsed to link it)… this morning at 4am I woke up sneezing and blowing snot all over the place. I had to leg it to the bathroom to get tissues, then got back in bed and sneezed my brain out for [...]
If I didn’t know better I’d think there was a war taking place in Rotterdam these past few days. As we get closer to the New Year, more and more fireworks are being sold in the city, and more people are setting them off early. It starts in the early morning with the firecrackers and [...]
