2009

	31.12 2009	We have finally arrived in Florida and rented a townhouse until mom and dad can find the one they would like to buy. We had a long trip from Halden to West Palm Beach. First two taxi trips from our house to the train station, then a train from Halden to Oslo, and also a train from Oslo to Gardermoen airport. There we got out of our boxes into the snow for peeing and pooping before we had to go back in our boxes. I am so glad we all had a very cozy box with food and water. It was almost 13 hours later we finally could come out of the boxes again. That was in Newark, New Jersey across the river from New York. We were so happy to see our mom and dad again and there was no more snow on the ground. From there we went in a big car to Washington and spent the first night with a beautiful young girl name Mariah, a friend of Anuska. Finally we could relax before going on the road again. The next night we spent in a motel we think was in the state of Georgia. In America they must like dogs because there were no problems having 3 dogs in a motel room. Lucky for us. The 3rd day we finally got to Anuska and Pats house and we were all very happy except Roman, Pats big and grumpy cat. He had to stay in one room and we had the rest of the house. Tio fell in love with that Roman, and was crying to visit him all day. Sometimes he could go in and get a friendly paw on his nose, but only a couple of minutes each time. Well - we lived there for one month before we moved to a bigger house, and Roman is living upstairs now and we dogs downstairs. Roman didn't see us one time and went downstairs into the living room. There he was so scared when we saw him so he was traumatized for life. He will not even say hello to us dogs anymore. He could if he wants to because they put up a gate in front of the stairs. We also fell in love with both Pat and Anuska. We really like it when Anuska lets us curl up next to her on the recliner chair while she tries to study or use her laptop computer. She says we don't let her study enough, but we know better!! Pat says hello every morning to us and lets us lick her, but sometimes she uses a very scarey voice with us when we don't listen too well! We have to stay downstairs all night by ourselves, but we usually wake at least mom or dad up at about 7:30 every morning when we hear the newspaper being delivered outside. Roman is lucky that he can sleep in one of those beds upstairs, but we don't have it too bad, we have a big sofa and 2 recliners to choose from. Dad took a lot of pictures of this new home we have, so we hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we love living there. This is the last entry for 2009, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !!!   (Click HERE to see slideshow)

	29.04 2009	Wednesday Morning Shock !!! This morning we woke up at about 8 a.m. as usual. As always, the dogs were all waiting impatiently at the bedroom door for us to get up. All the dogs except Chanty! We looked in the livingroom to check on her, and surprise, surprise... she was lying on the sofa nursing her 4 newborn puppies! She had been looking fatter lately, and not very energetic, but we had thought that she was just eating too much and being lazy because of it. The last time she had her period we didn't let her mate with Tio, and even had her stay at our friend Ida's house until her time was over (or so we thought !). But it seems that they must have mated without us knowing after we brought her home, about 21 days since the start of her time. Be aware to those of you who have a female puppy from Chanty... they can be very productive and have long periods. So here we sit with 4 newborns, 1 boy and 3 girls; wondering what we should do with our trip to Spain scheduled to start about the 15th of May. Well, well we have to look at this in a positive way even though this should have been the period Chanty needed to rest between pregnancies. The world is full of beautiful surprises!

	10.04 2009	Alba/Pepi's first camping trip. She loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Mom & Dad found us a place where we could run as much as we wanted. Dad Tio wanted to stay out the whole day watching out for any dangers. We also had a fence where we could stay close to the camper for just a pee. What a lovely place for small dogs like us. Check out the NEW SLIDESHOW & MOVIES in Travels 2009.
	09.04 2009	No baby birds from Bonny's 2 eggs. One was empty and one had a dead fetus in it. But today we found 3 eggs in nest 3, that means Betty has started. So we have to wait till mid May to see if we are getting some there.                  Bonnie crying              Betty's eggs (Click HERE for bigger picture )
	01.04 2009	Chanel/Chantilla came to visit her mom and dad while her sister Pepi/Alba was here with us. She is looking just like her mom. Same fur, same color and same behavior. It was so nice to see the sisters playing around. Chanty was a little bit grumpy when she saw her girls again - but after a while - she loved them. We have seen that with Alba/Pepi since she has been here 2-3 weeks because of sickness in the family. (Click HERE for more pictures )
