MY LIFE, AMADEUS

Hi Everyone!

I want to tell you a couple of stories. My mother Hilka told you some in " An old lady's diary", but now that my mother is gone, it's my turn to take over.

a
I'm a 10 years old boy dog, I've got a very fancy name " After eight bitches came Amor Amadeus". I was the only boy, and the last one, as you probably understood. I had a great time with my sisters. Lady is one of my sisters, which I've kept in touch with through many years. She was here when she got her puppies. - Guess who was the proud uncle and played with the little ones?!

My mum Grete says that there isn't any dog that is so cuddly as me. I can't understand that. Doesn't all dogs like to cuddle? It's the peoples job to cuddle us, or why should they otherwise be here? I like it best when I have a lot of petting candidates nearby. Then I have a great time!!

Since I'm a Labrador, I've always been a "cuddly-boy". I always have something in my mouth. Sometimes it can be kind of hard to hold one thing and eat food at the same time. You are not a Labrador for nothing!!

If I carry a thing that is bigger than me, then I'm really proud. Even though I can't see anything, it doesn't matter at all!!

The last year that has passed by since my real mum Hilka died, a lot has happend. I was bored being alone. My sister came to stay here for awhile, but then she had to go back home again. I didn�t nearly eat anything, and one day I couldn't stay on my feet when we were going out.

Mum was very concerned, therefore we went inside something they call a car, and then we came to a place called " the veterinary". There was many new smells, and the vet was kind, he petted me and he gave me food. I think that vets must be kind, because he got me a friend when I was there. She was black and brown, and was called Rotweiler, I've heard that they are aggressive. Eitherway, she was the one that was scared of me. Imagine that, scared of me. Can anyone be scared of me, I wonder?!

We sniffed on each other and then we run outside and played in the snow. That was fun. I really want to visit that "vet" more often!!! Mum said I was hypochondriac. Whatever that is? Is it something you can eat? Because if it is, then I guess I am that, because I'm very found of food.

One day we celebrated the birthday to one of the kids that lives here. In dog-years she isn't more than 2-3 years, but in human-year she is 25. They had a visit from a little person that's called a baby. This little one stood on the floor so I could smell him. He looked at me and smiled. I went backwards. Because something that stranger, I've never seen.

Little people always tries to touch me. We have some cats called Skip and N�ste, and I watch out for them. I didn't think he was anything like them, so what was he?! Then suddenly he got bigger. Someone hold him up in the air. Funny I have to say. Do they grow so fast, I asked myself. That was very mystical, but then I wasn't so scared. Then suddenly he started to cry. This is really strange!

Something that I've started to like nowadays is to go on car trips. Each day I�m allowed to follow when one of my "sisters"( she's the kid to my mum, so then she must be that, right?) is going to school. Whatever that is, I haven�t understood that yet. What I know is that there are many petting candidates there!

When I see mum putting on her outdoor shoes, then I understand that car trips is coming. Then I hurry out, and I jump in the backseat. Mum thinks it's kind of fun. One time when I was running around the car and jumped into the backseat, my mum started laughing. They weren't going on a car ride, but how should I know that? People are strange, I can't understand what they do all the time.

Something that they like very much is a box they call TV. What's so fun about that, I can't understand. It's nothing to eat there, no new smells. Eitherway they just sit there, and stare into the box. Sometimes they laugh, and sometimes they cry. I keep them company, because I have to take care of them. That's my job! It isn't always easy, to watch them all. Sometimes they disappear, and suddenly they are back again.

Why doesn't people have fur? They always nag about that they don't have anything to wear. I have seen that they have a lot. All those colours. Why do they change fur that often? Do they really loose that much?? Hmm�those humans�.. What should dogs like me done without them? We can't live with them, but we can't live without them either.

I'll be back some other time and tell you more dog stories.
