... så kom dagen

... hvor jeg skulle hente Traveller og Yvonne i Grenå - her er Traveller på færgen på billedet til venstre - det er en længere køretur men vi kom inden færgen fra Sverige nåede i havn - og jeg må indrømme, at jeg blev meget overrasket over den modtagelse Traveller fik af pigerne ....... de knurrede ad ham og var virkelig sure !
Først hjemme og efter en luftetur vendte de som på en tallerken - Traveller var godkendt ! Dog troede Kira at det var hende, der skulle forloves og da Kira er Alfa-tæven, måtte hun over til Hanne og overnatte.

Med Kira ude af huset kunne Asta og Traveller koncentrere sig men det blev kun til en masse jumpen fra Astas side og hun lå ovenpå Traveller, hviskede søde ting i hans ører, vaskede ham som hun gør ved sin hundefar (jeg ved Asta savner Mickey) og mere blev det som sagt ikke til - både Yvonne og jeg var lidt beklemte - Ved 04-tiden begyndte Asta og Traveller at røre på sig igen -

Traveller kom op i sengen hos Asta og mig og sov et par timer, så ud og luftes og mens Yvonne og jeg lavede morgenmad var hundene i stuen - jeg så Asta jumpe på Traveller og tænkte mit - men pludselig lød "indianer-hylet" og nu er lille Asta altså bleven til fru Asta ......... Jeg mener Asta tog imod - jeg kunne hente Kira og efter at have underskrevet de forskellige papirer mm blev vi enige om, at Traveller og Yvonne kunne nå færgen til Sverige der sejlede ved 14.30 tiden (modsat den reserverede plads kl. 01.00 torsdag morgen), hvilket blev bekræftet ved en telefon opringning til Stena-line ......


Turen til Grenå tager ca 1 1/2 hver vej så jeg har da fået kørt noget de sidste 24 time om ikke andet - Nu glæder vi os til at se om Asta har taget imod og hvis ja, til hvalpe i december måned - Mickey kommer hjem igen på tirsdag i næste uge for så skulle Kira været overstået sin løbetid for i år .............

Yvonne fortalte inden hun drog til Verdensudstilling i Bratislava, at een af hendes arbejdskammerater er synsk og mente, at Asta får 5 hvalpe - det vil tiden så vise ....







Her er Traveller, after a job well done ! :-))


















...og så lige et minde om besøget - Asta til venstre og Traveller til højre med Yvonne holdende begge hunde

En planlagt dag ..... og så er jeg officielt gammel !

ja goddaw du ......... som mange af mine planer lykkedes de ikke altid, men man har da lov at håbe at på et eller andet tidspunkt må noget da lykkes ........ havde f.eks. aftalt med Tim, at han skulle komme og gå med hundene samtidig med, at jeg tog afsted til Skejby sygehus ved Århus - og det skete også. Jeg blev kørt med patient transport, der ikke koster mig noget. Har aldrig hørt om det før men op til Skejby kom vi da og en hel time før den aftalte tid, men det er at forvente når man kører gratis. Jeg havde strikke tøj med men alt det jeg strikkede kunne jeg pille op igen, for mønstret blev forkert - jeg kunne åbenbart ikke koncentrere mig ........... Hjemme skulle Tim også sætte lygter på min cykel, men det kunne ikke lade sig gøre - så det er noget, der skal kigges nærmere på - jeg havde ellers 2 forskellige slags lygter, så jeg forstår ikke lige helt hvorfor ingen af dem passer til min cykel .......... nå, som sagt, det skal lige undersøges nærmere - På sygehuset fik jeg en ECCO undersøgelse i lighed med den på Horsens sygehus, taget blodtryk og EKG og beskeden var den samme og dog - Den unge læge, der kom og skulle fortælle mig om evt videre behandling, valgte at sige, at det jeg fejler hører alderdommen til - jeg havde nær fået noget galt i halsen ............ og lægen sagde det uden at fortrække en mine ........ Han konkluderede at jeg skulle fortsætte behandling på Horsens sygehus hvilket er fint med mig - men for søren da, hvad skulle alt dette til for, når det var en gentagelse af det der også blev foretaget på Horsens sygehus ? Men måske er jeg for gammel til at forstå, at sådanne undersøgelser er bedst når de foretages i dublet ? Hvad ved jeg - modsat har jeg så prøvet at køre med patient transport - og det var godt nok sjovt .....................

Hjemme ventede Asta og Kira - Mickey har det iflg. Lillian godt - i morgen er så dagen hvor vi skal til Grenå og hente Yvonne og co .... det bliver spændende -

Rengøring med bagslag

jeg skulle rydde op i nogle ting i går - bl.a. i skufferne i gangen da jeg har for mange hundehalsbånd og snore liggende - ud røg den øverste skuffe og så kunne jeg ikke få den på plads igen for listen var falden af - gode råd var dyre, og jeg baksede med at få denne lille liste sat på plads - fandt små søm som jeg enten bøjede eller tabte og var på et tidspunkt meget nær et skrigende sammen brud af arrigskab over sådan noget forbasket pjat at jeg ikke kunne sætte listen fast igen ........... Endelig, efter megen baksen frem og tilbage, ståen på hovedet og liggende på knæ fik jeg listen sat fast, men den sidder lidt skævt, dog kan skuffen sætte på plads og på plads kom skuffen ! Pyha ................. tror ikke jeg har en snedker eller tømrer i mig ........ og slet ikke efter denne omgang -

Senior moment

I was going to write something really clever - had a senior moment so now it is gone for the time being ................

Mickey is settling down

in his away from home, home - mind you I really thought I had to find another place for him, as Lillian phoned and said Mickey was very vocal - well yessss..... that is what I told her as the girls are in season and it is almost impossible to have him here when Traveler comes on Tuesday from Sweden ........ Lillian told me that she thought I overreacted re Mickey's behaviour and if she did not get any sleep at night it wouldn't work out having Mickey ............ my heart went heavy as this was exactly what I was expecting and I hate when I get this feeling - however, I suggested Lillian bought some tablets, also used by humans, to settle them - I use these tablets for my dogs around New Years - and this morning Lillian wrote a text saying they had had a good nights sleep (wonder if she took some of these tablets as well ? :-)) They are harmless and non addictive ....... but usefull apparently. Today I had to go to town, also the hairdresser, as I have very thick hair, and it needs trimming from time to time. I have a nice lady who has trimmed my hair for the past 10 years now, so everything went well - The 2 girls were at home, and my step-daughter, Hanne, walked them while I was gone .......... I know I fuss a lot over my dogs, but if you have animals you have to take properly care of them - they are not children, but they are my companiens and I share my life with them -

New sound book & Dirty Dancing

I have always wanted to read "Kongemordet" by Hanne Vibeke Holst and noticed that it was possible to get this CD with a Danish Ladies magazine ..... so now I can hear this via my Ipod - looking forward to this very much indeed - Also the movie "Dirty Dancing" came on CD and with the weekly magazine I have to read to keep up with the latest in our Royal Family :-)) I absolutely adore this movie, so will treasure it and look at it from time to time ...........

Visitors and Copenhagen Winners Show 2009

last Saturday we had visitors

- Boye at left with Mickey and Signe with Asta





the following day Boye and Signe went to the Copenhagen Winners Show and met up with Yvonne and Traveler - here on the table being judged

This Dog Does the Best Riverdance of All Time!

I'mma Let You Finish, But This Dog Does the Best Riverdance of All Time! - Paw Nation

Mickey had a good nights sleep

which is more than you can say for Lillian, as Mickey took most of the space in her bed ! This surpriced me, as he sleeps at the end of my bed every night - perhaps tonight he will give Lillian more space ...

Mickey, my Mickey

today Mickey went for a small holiday and to a lady who lives in Silkeborg - I am not keen on kennels for my dogs, so this was the only option for now - Both Asta and Kira are in season and because we are having a basenji male visiting next week, Mickey was better off on this holiday ... mind you, I miss him so much as does Asta - she loves her dad .... I timed it so Mickey could go on his holiday before the girls came to their peak - I hope I did right and I hope the lady can cope with Mickey - he is on the other hand such a lovely boy who I really miss him, or did I already write this - well, it cannot be said too many times ...... I need to phone this evening or perhaps send a text to hear if all is ok - I fuss too much, if you can fuss too much over dogs you have on a daily basis .........

I krig med eliten

On Wikileak.org this was found - now you can also read it, although only in Danish .....

DAY ONE

Today Asta began her season and if it is like the 2 previous years, she will be ready to be mated end of September ............ I have notified the owner of the male in Sweden, so I really hope all will go well, with this my very last homebred litter .....

RIP Patrick Swayze

- you touched the hearts of many... Your talents and your fight won't soon be forgotten. We'll miss you!

a few senior moments ....

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'

---------------------

A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art.. It's perfect.'
'Really,' answered the neighbor . 'What kind is it?'
'Twelve thirty..

--------------------- and this one really made me laugh:

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

how hard can it be .... ?

things have taken a turn for the better re my health - so no more talk about aces and pains - today we had some visitors (all wearing red jackets) - be that as it may, three people with three dogs, how hard can it be ? well, apparently hard enough - this is one of the better shots !

Kira at left, Asta in the middle and Mickey at right with Lilian at right - her friends I did no not remember the names of ....... bad me ...... had a senior moment, sorry .....

I feel like crap

again this morning was hard to get through - and on top of it I threw my back out ........ hard to take the dogs out, but I managed around 8.30 - A neighbour has promised to come and take the dogs out for a longer walk, but at the moment it is raining cats and dogs ............... just cannot win - tried phoning the doctor but after 25 minutes gave up - I can send an email and get a reply on Monday - by Monday I can be dead and gone, the way I feel at the moment - back to bed and wait for the neighbour .........

no news is good news - or is it

back from the hospital and now I have to go to another hospital where they specialize with heart problems .... so this was something I already knew, just wish I had been referred to this other hospital months ago - now I have to wait yet again a month or 2 - sigh ...

I added some cute penquins as gadgets - scroll over with the mouse and they will follow :-))
