Third ♥ Barkday

Yes, today is the day! It is my third Barkday♥....and Hexe turned 5 years! ♥Even my human auntie has her birthday today....so many things to celebrate! Mum got me some green tripe. She drove extra all the way to the petshop, to the big one in the next city. We have a pet- and greenshop across the street, but they don't sell it. I am not a good eater; mum got me moose meat from Sweden and - I ignored it! She was furious; can you imagine!!!? Now mum hopes that I will take the tripe as this is usually my fave dinner........unfortunately dad had sudden pain in his jaw and even an op was necessary. He feels quite good in general and chemo will be off untill July, but this jaw and teeth infection does not come convenient. I hope so much he will be better again asap!

Above you see my official barkday photo: mum shot it while we inspected the blueberries in the fen (they are not ripe yet; it was too cold) and see all the lovely cottongrass behind me!!! ♥

Grief •⊱✿╮•⊱♥╮•

We were ever so sad to read about Maxdog's crossing this morning! Rest in Peace, dear friend, and Run Free! Mum said that Fritz expected you, dear Max, and will guide you around and when you all go out tonite look up to the sky and a new star will shine so bright.....

I went Away

Just a Little Step

And not Really Far

And when You get there

where I am now

You will ask Yourself:

Why did I cry....

We placed some fresh Lilacs and Cottongrass and will light a candle on our memoryboard to let you know: we are thinking of you!

✿⊱✿⊱Happy Pentecost✿⊱✿⊱

Today mum and I visited dad! Yesterday and today was nice, warm and sunny weather, so we sat on the balcony to enjoy it. As dad lost all his fur because of his chemo, he has to wear a cloth on his head; he is not allowed to have too much sun! Tomorrow I will visit him again, although we expect bad weather. It will be another free day as we celebrate Pentecost here and this means: holidays!!!!

This is me right now: relaxing on my fave cushion! Untill more adventures tomorrow.... ✿⊱✿⊱✿⊱✿⊱

Post 100 and a new Blog!

This is already post 100! Woffsen - how time goes by......may I introduce a new blog to you that mum created to bring in some money for those in need, It is www.pet-welfare.blogspot.com! Be the first one to visit! It is in German, but you will get the meaning; if you have questions, just give her a mail.

As you can see on my pic, all is blooming, but our May is gray! Still a nasty wind blowing and it is hardly more then +10°C. It should be twice as much these days in fabulous May...gosh!

✿⊱╮♥⊱╮✿⊱╮ Oh, Happy Day

Today I am wishing you all a very nice weekend from in front of the now blooming colza fields. Our area is famous for them. If weather would be better, they would be much more yellow and much more blossoms would appear. As I stood by this field, I could hear the humming of millions of bees visiting the blossoms. Colza Honey is very popular here....but is is still sooooo cold here, the coldest May ever, I think. We are having the socalled Ice Saints! Who are they?

In German-speaking countries: according to popular belief a period in May with increased likelihood of night frost falling on the feast days of certain saints thus jointly nicknamed 'Frost Saints'

~ ♥ ~ It's been long ~ ♥ ~

I know it's been ages since mum made a new post for my blog; my paws are too big, otherwise I would write myself.....see what happend: dear Maxmom ♥ and Maxdog ♥ wrote us a postcard from Johannesburg! (I have no idea where this is, but mum said it's very far away in Africa; they have Fall there now, but they have the same time as we)! Mum was very delighted and happy and she always tells me that Maxdog is very sick and that she is glad that he is still doing quite fine and that he remembers her so much of Fritz, the doggy before me...we thank Maxmom very much for writing to us! I will treasure this pretty card and think of you all while I will be watching the soccer WM soon that is held in South Africa, too!!!! My dad got his CT result yesterday and the doc was glad to tell him that his cancer stopped growing. He is doing very well and is back to work now! All his fur is almost gone and he is often tired and pale, but he is doing real good.

I got some more things: Dear Ina ♥ of Alaska sent me this photo with an Alaskan car sign showing my name! Isn't that funny and lovely of her?!!! Thanx so much sweet Ina - I send my tailwags to the pack, too!

Mum has a lot of doggy and kitty stuff she sells. This beautiful collar was one of the pieces. It is full leather and handmade and mum decided that I should have it for my upcoming birthday, I tried it and it fits me perfect. So I have a real grown-dog-collar now. I will turn 3 years soon! Tomorrow is an off day here and we will have a relaxing day; only the weather could be better as it is all dark and rainy and windy and cold; not very much like May - all the trees and flowers are blooming though..... ~ ♥ ~
