There's a new cat in the house

Saturday we were finally able to pick up the best after wedding anniversary gift to ourselves ever :)
The dogs were allowed to join us on this trip.

 We went South to North Carolina.

 I wonder what the dogs expected.

 Sure not a shoulder monkey :)

 On the way back, the dogs were quite nosy...

 It got really interesting for them, once we opened the top.

 This is curious Kobe.

He REALLY loves shoulders :) and slept most of the final part of the way on Martin's.

 Back at home he unwrapped his playful side.

He's just a love bug!!! Loves to sleep close to ones face. Rubs his cheeks against the nose and simply wants to be cuddled. Too cute :)
Thanks to Jennifer and the baby's mama Frenchie & daddy Waldo for producing such an outgoing extraordinary little bundle of joy!

Happy 4th of July

The dogs trying to convince the catch of the day to simply jump over onto the grill :)

It's going to be a delicious Independence Day!

Gorgeous Geisha

beauty before the storm - always waiting for the neighbor dog to show up to bark at ;)

sleepy pets - the old post

nothing is unsleepable on... not even the backrest of the couch! I can see you :) awww... always with a little smile on her face the baby sleeping cuties smaller is almost impossible but you can try I like that position too unfortunately, that's how I would look like, falling asleep watching TV in a sitting position... hrm ... & there's a video of her dreaming. will see, if I can post it later
after the Highland Games, we all were quite exhausted... first, she still tried to be cute for the camera, then she got tired and used me as a pillow later

struggling

Like a while ago on Kenzo's blog, I owe you readers here an apology too!
I lost my motivation and it's difficult to keep 2 blogs running with basically the same entries.
The intend was to create a new blog, in English, for both dogs and only posting a couple only Kenzo related entries on the other in German after the translation tool made funny German versions out of my English posts there.
A while passed. It turned more into copying one thing to the other and then translating (sort of). Not that this would be a big challenge, but it makes it almost not necessary to create the same entry twice if there's a translating tool available on one page. Some things get lost in translation, but the pictures are the same :)
Although I'd prefer to write the blogs in English, my main reader is Austrian, that's why Kenzo's blog is the main page after all and in German.
Both sites had a break and I recently rebooted Kenzo's only because of several pokes from friends and family.
There isn't much going on around here these days. We survived boring winter,

all of us love the re-un-landscaped backyard,

a trip to a lure coursing practice once in a while,

some obedience/rally training, having friends over,

wildlife nesting under our building

- wait, this seems more than I thought. Most of the time we skip taking pictures though. I prefer posting pictures only before text only. As well, I like to spend my time off work not in front of the computer.
Looking thru the posts on this blog, I found 1 I didn't post. It's outdated, back from when we lived in the rental, but cute, so I'll post it after all :)

Merry Christmas

Christmas music on - check

Pet friendly tree - check

we're ready!



Happy Thanksgiving!

 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and the dogs too! Some play at home,

some in the yard,

 and then in the park...

 with a great view of lots of goats :)

 2 of my handsome boys

 Of course, we didn't forget to roast a bird ;)

 The holiday season has begun!
