Thanks to my friend Candee, the dogs are celebrating Canada Day in style! She has her own dog grooming business and gave us these cute Canada Day bandanas for the dogs to wear to show their pride! It’s a pity she didn’t live closer because I’d definitely go to her rather than our regular groomer, [...]
Oh you didn’t think I was the one running, did you? Surely you know me better than that! This morning we decided to take the dogs to a nearby area that is enclosed where they can run off their leads. We were up early and it was a rather miserable day so we were [...]
Ever wonder what happens when you get between a dog and a chicken bone? That… that is what happens when you try to wrestle a chicken bone from the mouth of a Yorkie. A few weeks ago I was walking along minding my own business, the dogs were running around sniffing everything and eating poo [...]
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 [...]
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 while [...]
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 [...]
According to Bailey… it’s Chestnuts!!
Hrmm I think I may have… perhaps once or twice. Yeah, I definitely have! LOADS! Yesterday was the first day of Autumn here in the Netherlands and what a great summer we’ve had! Normally, I spend my autumn posts talking about what I love about the autumn but I’m pretty sure I’ve done that to [...]
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 left [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
