Pups on the Run October 20, 2009

The night before my birthday the puppies decided to run away from home.
It’s not the first time they have scampered off – humming “Born Free” as they run – but they had gotten so much better. And there lies the root of the problem! We have been training them to run and jump into the car without their leashes when the car is parked right in front of the house. And usually they do.
Sometimes, though, they don’t…
Going ‘Dutch’ in Summer ‘07 July 30, 2008

Summer is slowly coming to a close here in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In only a few weeks, kids will be back in school. TheGirl’s course starts on August 11th, and TheBoy’s apprenticeship kicks off at the beginning of September. This, of course, also means there is a lot to discuss as a family, so I spent a few hours yesterday with TheKids and The Ex doing just that. (more…)

ChessMan suffers from chronic back pain, which sometimes infringes upon his/our quality of life mightily. That’s why he was very glad to find a kind and understanding – and capable – physical therapist here in our village. In addition to the massages and other prescription treatments she provides, she also allows him to work out on her equipment as often as he likes at no additional charge. That means that – in a good week – he’ll saunter over there for a 45 minute workout maybe 2 or 3 times.

I was actually going to write about something else today, but after an afternoon spent at the supermarket and the garden center I am knackered beyond words. The weather has gotten cooler here, too, but I am just too tired to go outside and plant all the new stuff we got today for both the garden and the balcony.
Tomorrow. Maybe.
Till then – more from the Pooper-Scooper Twins!
Here’s Termi using ChessMan as a hammock while Rocky cuddles up alongside.

Terminator (“Termi” for short) and Rocky are our 2 year old, black & tan, standard dachshunds. Or – to be more precise - our furry, 4-legged “sons”.
Although I can sometime go overboard with affection and spoiling when it comes to my favorite pupsters, ChessMan (Mr. They-Will-Not-Be-Allowed-On-The-Furniture-Or-On-The-Bed) has taken the concept of spoiling to a whole new level. Oh, it’s not like he doesn’t get irritated with them or sometimes wish them to the moon (esp. at 4am when one of them decides he has to pee), but if ChessMan had to make a choice between me and either or both of “the boys”….
