Fun in the Mud

I: Did we have fun in the mud ... pant pant !! 🙃
Cocoa: Yeah, pant pant, let's do it again ! Giiiiinger (calling his brother) !! 🐶

Out and About with my Friends

Today was a very sunny and warm day (which I, as a Scottish girl, do not like it too hot). But chasing around with my friends is just too much fun. We drove up the hill and parked at the shooting range. Yes, the Swiss men are obliged to go shooting regularly as long as they're in the army's reserve. No shooting today though. 

On a field we came by, a farmer had harvested whatever crop grew there before and was now distributing some dusty fertiliser, probably from a chicken farm with all those white feathers on the ground. That got Aysha and Cocoa on the plan. They pelted across the field, ignoring the farmer's large trailer moving around. And Cocoa would not want to listen when he was called. Ran even further away. Naughty boy !!

In the end we all sat panting in the shade, ready to walk into the woods. There was a small stream, and I dared to wet my paws. Uh uh, am not used to that. Later we came by a lovely water fall and who ran to the edge almost slipping down? Cocoa again. So he had to go on the lead for the remainder of the stroll.

At the end, all exhausted from the heat, we were asked to sit down for a photo session. As if! We all still had ants in our bums. This is the best we could do:

Ops, am the only one with the tongue out ... 😊

Meet the Pack

Pant pant ... just got back in from a loooooong walk around the area where we all live. So much to sniff, and a lot of chasing. Spring, yippie!

Cocoa and Ginger (4), the Havanese half brothers and full of beans, like to do the zoomies with me, and Paco (8), the proud Westie male protects me should the play with the boys get out of hand. Aysha (12), the elegant elderly Labrador lady is always strolling around by herself, not bothering much about us, except when Paco chases her. They live together. 

We meet at least once a week, that's nice, and I'm happy that after almost 11 months in Switzerland I made such nice friends.

Hierarchy in the Boot?

We were car pooling driving up to the plateau on this sunny snowy winter's day for an afternoon walk with then pack. I drove with my buddies Cocoa and Ginger. Clever me, I managed to make it into Ginger's seat to the left, and you can see on Ginger's face that he's not too happy with this arrangement - teehee!

Comment of my owner: "De Schnäller isch de Gschwinder, hä ?!." (First come first serve, hu?!). Guess I should have been nicer to Gringer. Next time, buddy.

Westie Zoomies

Cocoa and Ginger are half brother Havanese about my age. They became my buddies a few months after I had arrived in my new home in Switzerland. 

We 'go' well together, often roaming the fields and woods during our afternoon walkies, checking out pipes and holes. Great fun, great playing. Loving it...
