Finally I have 'done my duty': Been back in Denmark to visit my daughter, grandson, and the rest of the family. I was a bit worried about leaving, but then a local German friend of mine, Angelika, offered to take care of the menage while I was away, and since she is a true cat-lover I felt very much reassured and convinced that all my kitties would be in the best of hands during my vacation.
When I returned home from these very nice holidays in Copenhagen, I was greeted with the warmest welcome home from Billie and the four kittens. They were all in good shape but seemed to have been missing me, especially Billie since she just doesn't make friends with anyone but me at all, not even if it's the person that takes care of serving her breakfast and dinner!
You might remember that I had a dog, Lucky, which one day decided to move in with me. Unfortunately, after a few weeks she decided to move on, I am sure it was not due to bad quality of the food and surroundings, she just had a craving for adventure in her, and I never managed to keep her on the terrace even five minutes alone, she immediately made her Houdini-stunt through the banister and jumped down to the parking lot beneath my house and ran off. A few times she presented herself again in front of the gate, but one day she didn't come back.
But now the long awaited addition to the family is here: Bella
The most beautiful puppy I have ever seen!
She is totally messing up my day, waking up at 6:30 and demanding attention - and breakfast! Then she manages to stay awake an hour or so, during which time she will do whatever she is NOT supposed to do, like chewing on electric wires, chewing shoes, dragging any piece of cloth she can get her teeth on (preferably table cloths with whatever result may come of it), making friends with the kittens and getting her nose scratched during the process, and so on and so on. Useless to say that I'm getting absolutely NO work done during her 'activity training'. After an hour or so she drops to the floor totally exhausted, and I get a chance to work for an hour until she wakes up and is ready to continue where she left off whatever she was doing. This is of course the second I must catch her and bring her outside, so that she will immediately learn where certain things are to take place!
Hopefully she will soon get the hang of how the four little sticks under her body are working, so that we can start treating ourselves with some long walks to the beach. As for now, she tumbles after three steps every time she tryes to make a run.
Here is a selection of my former and present housemates
