tell that while Fia were in Halden she had a great time home at the farm. After she got the food in the morning she was a little out in the doggarden and then she wanted to come in. Ona was cuddled rather much, and she found out places where she could lay down, like up in the sofa and in the beds to the humans. Mother Grete thought it was rather strange one day when she found one pillow at the floor, she couldn't understand how it could had got there, but she found it out rather quickly when Ona elegantly rose up in the sofa.
When the human
to Fia (Irene)lay on the sofa, I sneeked myself first up almost at the footside of the sofa. Then I crawled careful closer and closer up the sofa. Till when I could lay my head on Irene's stomach. It as good and warm!! So she started to pet me. I espesially like when I get healing on my head, and particulary my ears, then I'm so to say in ecstasy. It is some of the best I know. We had our walks down to the mailbox and it was good just to be me, and without Fia hanging after me. Of course I missed her a lot, that is probably something every mother does when their child is gone for a little time. We are so used to beeing two, so when I'm alone it isn't any fun no more. I haven't got anyone to playfight with, trying to get more food or to see who that gets the stick quickest. It's sort of different. I guess most of us know how that feels I imagine.
Fia tells
again. One day Vibeke came, the sister to my human on visit. She just had to see the cute little ones, she took a lot of pictures of us. She was alone together with us for about one hour. The little ones crawled over her legs, bit in the laces , and trying to be the one that got most cuddle, such it is with the most of us, we want to show that here I am, come and cuddle be. Vibeke had to laugh of the little ones.
She missed to be together with puppies. Before in time when she was little they had some puppylitters home at Bj�rtomt, and then she used to cuddle each and every puppy a least one half our every day, and she had taken that assigment very serious.
If the humans didn't found Vibeke they had to go to the puppybox and there they found her sleeping with all the puppies on the top. Of course I Fia got a lot of cuddle as well, and when Vibeke should leave I thought that it was my time as well, I looked after her and tried to tell her.- Hello, have you forgotten about me?, but she didn't come back and then I understood that I shouldn't go home just yet.
So after
only a few days I heared some other voices that I knew very well. I was in another room and started to make some noice, to again tell them that here I am. My human sat on the floor with the 5 puppies around her. One of the boys were so naught that he peed on her trouser. That's how puppies are, she said and just smiled. Fia will lick it away.
When I came inside the room, I didn't know which one that I should say hello to first. Vibeke was there this time as well, mother Grete and my human Irene.
Therefor I went from the one to the other. So came all my puppies and wanted to have the last milk from me, and afterwards I wached them all nicely in the face and the buttocks.
Gerd should cut the claws and my tail before I went. I'm a bit tickled so when they cuts my claws I tried to hide under the table and thought, now you can't get to me. Then Gerd said to my human that she should call for me, and gently I went forward and while my human cuddled me then Gerd were allowed to cut the tip of my tail, and my claws. Gerd laughed and called me a "chicken", even your kids dear to do that. It's not that fun, that I have to tell you when it tickles so much, but I was glad when it was over!!
My human
went out the door at one time and now I thought, now I have to tell so that she don't leave me as well. Glad was I when she came back right after with my dognecklace and the travellrope. I looked after so all my puppies had it good. They were satisfied and good. The 2 reservemothers were fully occupaid with watching over them, and one after one they fall asleep in the corner of the kitchen, or around on the floor. It is hard to be little, everyone knows that. My human took me on a little walk, and then I could go inside my cage in the car. I had had a great time together with my little ones, and I'm glad I got the chance to be a mother, and since I was so perfect Gerd wanted to have another puppy litter. We'll have to see about that.
We travelled
to the house in Fredrikstad where we should stay over night. I was so satisfied that I could be. The humans watched a little tv, and ate some good food, I was petted and was allowed to go on sniffingwalks around in the neighbourhood. On one of the walks it was rather dark, and then I barked - Get away, but when we came closer we saw that it was only some dustbins. The humans had to smile of me, but it is good to finally have you back, said my human over and over again and of course I thought the same and licked her a little.
When I
came home at the farm again, it was a bit of a reunionjoy when I saw my mum Ona which waited in the doggarden. It was become December and the snow had arrived, and Ona was in her "ace". - I just love to roll arond in the snow. I've heared that the humans have something called "sledgeboard", but I can't sit on something like that I think, so I roll as long as I just can. It's just that wonderful!
- I have now been at home for awhile, so in the beginning mum Ona and I got food in different rooms, I should have little food the first days, so that I shouldn't get milkburst, after a few days they could see that my breasts were good, so then we could eat together again. The humans thought that I was rather skinny, so now I get a little extra food when my mum Ona doesn't look.
I just
have to tell on thing, says Ona. One day the vet came to give me an p-pille injection. The boss Grete took me out in the pighous. When we came inside the pighouse, it was standing a pig with her nose outside something called a bin, and I thought that the nose looked so cute so I licked her as good as I could. The pig was so frightened that she jumped backward, it almost looked like she was scared of me. I can't understand that, but now I can understand better where the strange smell comes from when the father in the house or Irene smells pigsmell. The vet had to smile of me , - You are a funny dog, he said. I didn't like much to have the injection, I had the tail between my legs. As a reward I got something called dryfish, and that is some of the best things a dog can get. We started a little early on the Christmas celebration this year. We have our own "adventstake" in the window, and it is so nice to look at the lights. The Santas hasn't been out yet, but maybe they will come when it's Christmas.
We thing it's nice to be together again, and we have a good time playing, eating, sleeping, going on walks and what other things that is usual in a dogs everday life. Until we are back we wants to wish everyone a really nice Christmas holiday and a very happy new year.
Here you can see what we got this Christmas:
