I am a no-barrier-terrier

I am a no-barrier-terrier

The boss is working on something new. Now what is that?! Looks like a bird. I like birds, because I can chase them when they walk on the beach, fly low, or swim away. The boss gets angry when I do that. She does not want my Irish-Terrier-hunting-genes to be inspired. So I am not allowed to bother cats, birds, rabbits. But sometimes I do, because I am a naughty terrier, am even a member of their...

They pulled out my hair!

They pulled out my hair!

"Boss, I loved my old shabby coat, and now it is gone. They pulled my hair out! It took them three hours, piles of hair all over the place. And then the shower treatment. I told you I don't like that one! They even blow dried my hair. Glad we can go home now. I am cold and all I want to do is sleep..."

Meet my friend Frida

Meet my friend Frida

Frida is my Irish Terrier friend. She is a real lady. Last week she went to the beauty parlor. I still have to get used to her new look. This week it is my turn. Don't look forward to that, but I guess there is no way around it. This coat is getting too warm. Spring is in the air! We had a great walk in the park. No more walking on the beach during the day because there are too many small...

First I break through the ice and now I get the shower treatment

First I break through the ice and now I get the shower treatment

How am I supposed to know, that I can't go onto that nice little pond anymore? We were playing there all winter. Yes I know, the snow is melting, winter is fading, and Bettina told me not to go there. I broke through the ice, just like that, but I got out on my own! This was yesterday, and now you are giving me the shower treatment. Smelly? Me?! Okay, my winter coat is a bit shabby. But it is...

A dog’s got to do, what a dog’s got to do!

A dog’s got to do, what a dog’s got to do!

Suggestions from my boss, I choose to ignore. Sometimes I have to check out some new tails, even if  they are across a busy street. I have never (really) been hit by a car. So what are you screaming about?! And yes, it is important to take a sniff and raise my leg at key points in the neighborhood, every time we pass. Somebody could have left a message, saying "Hi, I'm the new guy on the...

Don’t mess with my sticks!

Don’t mess with my sticks!

These sticks are not just sticks, they are MY sticks! I retrieve them, play with them, fight over them, parade with them, chew on them, eat them.... Some, I leave behind, but nice once I take home. These are real collectors items! What do you mean? You can't just burn them?! This is not a mess... don't mess with my sticks!

It’s my birthday and I eat if I want to!

It’s my birthday and I eat if I want to!

Yeah, it's my second birthday today! What a day, I went to school. No, not dog's school! My trainer took me to a real school, to teach children how to deal with "scary" dogs, like me. Then I played with my friends on the beach. Now I am hungry. I would love to eat this bowl of deliciously smelling food, but I am afraid, I might burn my nose. Can you please take this candle out?! It's my...

Spring is in the air, so are the ladies

Spring is in the air, so are the ladies

Today we enjoyed the first rays of sun, after a long period of grey skies, rain and even a storm. Our dog Duvel does not mind any weather. Duvel seems to like the first hint of spring in the air though. Maybe some of his lady friends are starting to smell interesting...
