Amy

Every now and then, my humans go on holiday and leave me here in Holland. For some dogs this might be stressful. Not for me. I get the chance to go and stay at Amy’s place for a couple of days.

I always looking forward to seeing Amy and she never fails to entertain me. She’s so fun and cool to hang out with and I enjoy every moment I spend with her.

Anyway, here are some nice photos of Amy. Isn’t she booti-ful? I think she is…

What a looker!

Amy the adventurer.

Sitting pretty.

Amy in profile.

Her 'coy' look.

Pretty please...

"How can you resist me?"

For sure Amy, we can't resist you. I can't wait to see you again...

Queen's Day

Today was a very important day in Holland. It was ‘Queen’s Day’ or Koninginnedag. This is a very special day for the Dutch people and they treat it as a big party. It is really a celebration of their love for Queen Beatrix.

I was so happy when my humans agreed to take me into Rotterdam centre to enjoy the festivities. The first big adventure of the day was that I got to take my first ever train journey...

Here I am with Dad, waiting for the train. I hope he’s got my ticket.

Shhh...I think it’s coming.

Is this a train?

...and we’re on. Ooohh I’m so excited!

Here I am in Rotterdam city centre. As you can see, there’re lots of people out enjoying themselves. Apparently, the tradition is that you should wear something orange...

Ta-da! So as not to look out of place, I decided to dress for the occasion.

We then decided to take a walk around. It appeared that I wasn’t the only dog in town...

This was the first doggy I ran into.

She was a real grouch. She never stopped barking.

I didn’t get too close to this Rottie. He was busy looking after the stall.

Look at the size of this guy. He started singing as I walked by.

Then I met this young lady. She was dressed for the occasion with a pretty orange bow tie...

...not as well dressed as me though.

Here I am with Dad. It was a long day and time to head home...

...so. Here I am back on the train again.

I had a great day and it was wonderful to see everybody enjoying themselves and dressed up in vivid orange.

For me though, I prefer a multi-coloured look.

Anyway, this is me with my own booti-ful ‘Queen’, Missus.

Tot ziens (see ya!)

My Weekend with Amy and Katie

Last weekend, my humans yet again left me while they went off galivanting on holiday. Tsk. Never mind, this of course meant that I could enjoy another fun-packed weekend staying with the lovely Amy.

Here she is. Isn’t she booti-ful?

I greeted her with a quick peck on the cheek.

To my great delight, Amy also had another guest staying with her over the weekend…

…meet Katie! She’s eighteen months old and a real paw-full.

At first, I wasn’t sure whether Katie was going to be playful…

…but she was soon running around like a mad dog.

Boy she was fast on her paws.

Pretty soon, Amy decided that she wanted to join in.

Amy and Katie played tug-of-wag. I must admit that I was soon feeling a bit left out...

...so I tried to make my presence felt....

...and we all ended up in a mad frolic. What a great weekend!

Easter 2009

Hooray, it’s Easter! Another chance for me to scoff on ‘festive’ food.

Missus bought some Easter goodies. Aren’t they cute? (I can’t wait to eat them later. Evil laughter – Muah Ha ha ha..)

While I was drooling over the treats, I noticed that Missus was busy making something.

“What’s this Missus? Can I eat it?” She growled at me and said “No!”

This is how Missus’ creation turned out. I can’t imgaine what it's for...

...Oh no! I’ve just had some flashbacks to this and this and this. It can only mean one thing...

...yep, Missus has decided to dress me up yet again. This time I’m supposed to look like an Easter bunny.

I can’t help thinking that I look more like a ‘Playboy’ bunny than an Easter bunny.

Me, some bunnies and my Easter eggs.

Have a wonderful Easter everyone.

Booti-ful Pictures of Me

It’s been a long time since I posed for some ‘nice’ photos of myself. (Take a look here and here for my ‘pawfolios’ from 2007).

Despite the years going by, I think I’ve still retained my good looks. What do you think?

Here I come, strutting my stuff.

This is my best “come hither” pose. Sophisticated huh?


The ‘Sphinx’.

How could you resist me with an expression like this?

Check out my floppy ears!

My ‘pretty please’ look and...

...just ‘Me’.

Sunny Sunday

I’m really enjoying my springtime in Holland. The temperature is so comfortable and the days are growing longer. Just this Sunday, I took a stroll through the park and I was so pleased to see that many of my Dutch canine pals were also revelling in the joys of spring.

Look at this guy. He looks like my mate Chewbacca but I think this is actually a different Wookie.

This little fella’s called Quintus. Apparently, he’s named after a famous Roman. I, of course, prefer dogs who are named after famous Greeks.

Quintus was pretty quick on his feet for such a small guy...

...however, I soon got the better of this Roman gladiator.

This cheeky chap ran out of his house just to come over and say hello. He lives on the same street as me, so I’m hoping to see more of him.

I was trying to coax this little fella to come over and play with me, but he was a bit shy. Maybe next time...

I was really jealous of this guy. He gets to bring his own toys with him.

We stopped for a quick chat.

Next, we bumped into this old guy. He’s thirteen years old!

I asked him if he wanted to play zoomies but he told me that his days of zooming were over...

...so, I got back home and went zooming alone! Arooo rooo ooo!

Just time for a quick chew before calling it a day.

And then I Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................
