What a morning

I got back from my morning walk with Ayla about 20 minutes ago. Had to drop off hubbers at work this morning since we are going to check out a house together when he gets off and it's easier if we only take one car so this delayed our usual morning walk. Ayla was...

Playing with Emma

Today Ayla got to play with one of our favorite dogs in the neighborhood, Emma. She is a HUGE Great Dane mix and just the most lovable dog ever. She normally walks with at least one other dog, and sometimes up to 3 others. Those are the times when she and Ayla are...

Unh-uh…you can’t make me

As of last week, I've started taking Ayla for a morning walk as well as her evening walk. Mostly she seems to be very wound up after a round of naps in the morning and if it prevents her from getting so wild that she wants to start using me as a chew toy, I'm all for...

Our new camping haven

We went camping again this weekend to prepare, train and just ready ourselves for our 3 week trip through Spain and Portugal. Since we intend to camp pretty much every night we're traveling, we know that we need to get everything down to an exact science so set-up,...

Pet Rules

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height. Dear Dogs and Cats, The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a pawprint in the middle of my plate and food does not...

A weekend at the grandparents’

We went to visit grandma and grandpa this weekend. Hubbers had a birthday on Thursday and his dad had one on Friday. My mom also had one on Saturday along with hubber's grandmother but they were both in America for the event. Since Thursday was a holiday here in...

Football fever

Today the World Cup started here in Germany and of course there are a lot of people here which are all worked up about...including most of the people working in my husband's office. They're almost like children on Christmas morning, completely excited about...

Mind Games

Being that Ayla is not as perfect as she could be when it comes to her behavior, I found the following "games" to play with her to help keep her in line and hopefully make us all a bit happier around the house. I've cut some text out since it's rather long but kept...

Frisbee for all

So I think I've mentioned before that we now have a Frisbee for Ayla to play with outside...and it has helped us to realize that we really enjoy throwing it back and forth to each other while she plays with something else. Of course we can't just confiscate the dog's...

Why, oh why??

I don't know who I'm more irritated with at the moment...the dog or myself. Of course when she's laying under the dining table where I'm sitting and sleeping so nice and peacefully it's really hard to hold a grudge. Alas, I knew I should have changed my jeans when we...
