A beautiful day ...

[scottishlass]

Even though the day started out quite miserably - my right eye with the stye giving me a lot of grief, the ensuing day turned out to be quite good indeed.
His Hubbiness™ had the wonderful idea to put me and our dogs into the car and drive down to the Rhine as it was such a beautiful afternoon. We went to the very spot where we spent most of our summer days last year. It consists of three little bays with sandy beaches where you can let your dogs run free and you have a feeling of the Mediteranean.

Anyway, it was warm (in the mid 20's °C) and sunny and the dogs had a wonderful time running around in the sand and going swimming.


Oooommmmm ...

Germany's Next Top Model Dog

This stick has had it!

Eliminate!

Into the deep blue

HA! I got you, devilish Squeaky Toy

Baywatch-Dog

Ewww, sand in my ears




it was a wonderful afternoon, and I forgot about my eye and the pain as I watched the antics of our two dogs. Cenour really enjoyed himself and we suspect it was the first time he was at a beach. He first looked around as if he was gobsmacked, then he tentatively got into the water and got his stick back. He liked rolling around in the sand. Chica of course had to rescue her squeaky toy out of the water again and again.
A good afternoon all in all.

Wow, those dogs just look as happy as can be! Glad you had a good day!

I was sadly unable to see Dusseldorf when we were in Germany, but I do hope to go back someday. I really enjoyed visiting - it's a beautiful country!

When you come visiting Germany, make sure to stop by Duesseldorf and let me know. I'll give you a tour of the city :)

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

I will! :-)

*shows off new KDW icon hehehe*

Gosh I must say again that I love seeing pics of your lovely dogs. From your stories, I think Cenour has gained a new level of respect from me :D Though Chica is still adorable, of course *laughs*

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Very nice icon :)

You can't really stay mad at Chica, she is just a little bitch *LOL*
Cenour is really opening up more and more and yesterday he played actively with a stick for the first time. Normally he just looks at it, pets it with his paw and then waits. But yesterday he ran after it, picked it up and then eliminated it. He has so much to learn and be a young, playful dog again.

I am so glad you felt better!! Cenour is really quite distinguished, even when vet and messing about

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

He is, isn't he?! He had so much fun and this afternoon we will be going there as well, this time he will have a longer leash, so he can run around a bit more.

Great pics! I like them!
Glad to know all of you had such a good day.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was a great day, but the night wasn't too good. Apparently Chica has swallowed something that really muddled up her stomach. Even though during the day, it looked as if she is okay, during the night (second in a row), she is really, really, sick. I hope it is just the unexpected heat (we have really high temperatures, about 30 °Celsius)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's pity. Poor little one. Hope Chica will be well soon.

I just love pics of your pooches! They look so happy and sweet. I'm glad to hear that you had a good day without pain. I don't keep up with LJ much anymore, but I think about you a lot and worry about you. Hope you're doing better. Warm beach-soaked vibes to you.

I#m doing better, thank you. Only three more treatments to go then I have to see whether or not I have to undergo surgery or not.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

aww, the doggies look like they are having so much fun :) and glad it made you feel better as well :))

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I think this time around the dogs really help me bearing all that shit that comes with the treatment. I can't just mop around and feel sorry for myself, as I have to take care of the dogs, and they know when I am in pain. They just sit down beside me quietly and give me so much strength, it is amazing.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

yeah, animals can really help to give you strength :) my cat is like that as well, she comes up to me and kisses my face when she senses that I don't feel good, makes me love her so much :)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Awww, that is so sweet :)
Yeah my two dogs are also giving me lots of strength and also relieve a lot of stress. They just make me sit down and cuddle them, thus any annoyance or stress is gone after half an hour.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

*nods* when I cuddle my cat it's just like the world melts away and I often find myself relaxing instantly ^-^

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

which is the reason why I like my cat better then I do most people ^^
