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 [...]
Pixel loves the snow. When we take her out in it she sniffs around, pushes it with her nose, digs in it and runs around like someone put a firecracker up her arse. It’s a very exciting time for her!
When we first got her she hated being outside if it was anything other than warm [...]
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 [...]
Ok two things first:
1) Ignore the mess in my house, it was when I was all sleep deprived, so there was no cleaning happening.
2) Ignore me and my doggy talk, it had to be done.
So yeah, those two things aside… you can see that Pixel is still as spazzy as ever. When she was a [...]
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 [...]
Well, Pixel is almost a year old now and has been with us for 9 months. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of pee and poo but we’ve finally gotten it all under control *knocks wood*. She is so cute it’s hard to stay angry with her when she does things like, oh [...]
Pixel is slowly coming around to her old self. She can now jump onto the sofa, run around looking for treats and torment Bailey now and then. We do try to stop the playing though as her incision has not fully healed yet.
She spent the first two days acting like a little drama queen, and [...]
Well today was the big day for Pixel. Now six months old it was time to have her sterilized. The poor little thing! It was so heartbreaking for me to have this done to her now but I know it is the best thing for her. We learned our lesson by putting it off too [...]
Even though I’m feeling like crap at the moment I am giving all my well wishing vibes to Pixel. Somehow she managed to scratch her eye, which has caused some swelling and irritation.
The vet said that she has a scratch on her cornea and gave us cream to put in her eye 4 times a [...]
Who needs a pedicurist when you have dogs like this?!
Bailey was always a seriously licky dog, and he’s passed the habit on to Pixel. If there is an inch of bare skin, they want to be licking it. They’ll stop if you tell them no… sternly … err, and repeatedly. Shouting it helps. They’ll usually [...]
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. [...]
That’s how long until the first day of Autumn. It sounds like a long time but it’s not really, and we’ve not even had a summer yet (we didn’t last year either). I want to go back to France, where it was warm and dry. Barring my horrid sunburn, I loved it there… and I [...]
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 [...]
Omgomgomgomg!
If you aren’t familiar with the site Cute Overload, it’s a really awesome site with endless photos of cute animals. I’ve submitted photos to the site before but they’ve not made it on there. Today I nearly had a heart attack when I saw A POST ABOUT PIXEL with the photos I’d submitted!!
Yay for Pixel, [...]
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 [...]
