This morning was rather fun. Today is being billed as the hottest day of the year thus far and it's supposed to be something like 95 degrees...Thankfully we are going to see a house this evening which will also probably not compare to "our" house but it could be...

It was a real scorcher today and we decided to delay our evening walk with Ayla until the sun went down a bit more and it started to cool off a bit. So instead we played with her in the yard a bit to get a bit of the energy out of her and allow us to sit on the couch...

Have you ever come across an online game that just grabs your attention? Although it's wildly simple in many ways, this silly little game to test your reflexes and clicking skills will let you know how sharp your senses are in in under a minute....

Today was a pretty long day. We went to see the house at 10 am this morning and met with an architect while we were there. He was pretty much useless which is always great for someone making €150 an hour and we could have done without him being there altogether. But...

Ayla lost her second tooth today (that we've noticed anyway). She was all wound up around 7 pm and was playing in the yard with her yellow kong (which I finally freed from its frozen ice prison) and decided it would be great fun to run full force into the bushes which...

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went....

Let me start by saying that this whole fun experience for her is partially my fault to begin with. When she was smaller, she would jump at the bushes when I was playing with her but she was so small she would basically just bounce right off again...nevermind the...

As of today Ayla weighs 48.5 pounds (22 kilos). That means she has put on about 4.5 pounds (2 kilos) since last week. I'm not sure the phrase "growing like a weed" really even fits here since it's more like growing by leaps and bounds. Obviously we are quite happy to...

So I thought Ayla was still worn out from her morning romp and went upstairs to take a shower. I try to leave her out when I can and like feeling like I can trust her to behave at least a little bit. But apparently I was mistaken and this day is going to hold many...

Today was a pretty big day for Ayla. She got her first real swim at the lake near us. We went out there around 7 pm knowing that a lot of people would be going home already and dogs are not technically allowed to swim there lol. There is a relatively good place to go...
