Hi, my name is
Cha's Fia Fiffi! I have meet you before, when I was just a little baby. Now I'm older, almost 10 months, and in dogyears that means I'm a teenager. My real mother is probably the one that notices my attempts to rebel.
We play together the whole day, but when we are in the human-house, I want all the attention. Then I set my teeth in her, while she tries to shake me of her, but that's not what I want. When she gets the chance, she runs in to her cage (we both have our own big cage that we sleep inside).
My humans says that my mum Cha's Ona Ofelia is enjoying herself when I'm not there. Then she can do whatever she likes. She has told me that her human boss, let her sleep in her bed, and that they pet her a lot, I'm still learning how.

is to look after the house. She always let the humans know when someone comes that she thinks is funny dressed or has a strange smell. She always barks when the daddy in the family comes in the house. The daddy work with some strange animals called pigs, and they have a strange smell. I have seen them. When I was younger, they let me play with the little piglets. Their mother was huge, so I stayed away from her.
Ona likes it very good when she gets a little bit of bread. She sits and �looks up to the dad�, and that works every time, so now I�ve learned to do the same. We don�t beg, we just sit there and look very interested and a little bit sad in our eyes. Strange that this doesn�t work on the others!!
The other day I had to go to someone named vet, so I could get my ears marked. They gave me two shots so that I would sleep, but I was to excited so I couldn't. It was all over in a few seconds, and it didn't hurt that much, but I screamed a little and you must be allowed to do that.
When I came back home again it got worse. My ear was all green and stading out to the side, because of the bandage. They called me a �punk�, have you heard anything worse than that! They could have come up with something more suitable, I thought I was a princess? That's what I have heard. I was so tired that day, that I didn't play, that says a lot. I didn't eat either, but I got something good named Biola. This drink is my mums favorite, too!
Ona have to say something as well. - I also deserves to be with you as well. It�s me that gave birth to you into this world, and it�s quite obvious that I�ve got pretty children. Just take a look at me!! Then she often wags her tail and smiles so elegantly.
Then Fia continues again. I've
just arrived home after a weeks holiday on the farm were I was born. There it was a lot of dogs. I played a little with my brother as well, he is a lot smaller then me and I teased him a little because of that. I went to a dogshow with very many dogs. I�ve been to a place like that before, and then I got a red ribbon and a blue ribbon. I was the best in the opposite sex, and my brother became the best in the rase. That has to mean that our family is rather successful? This time I als og many nice ribbons. My owners become very happy. I got something called CK, and that means that I�ve qualified to get a certificate. I don�t need that do I, I can�t drive a car! but I like much to og out on travels. I also got an honorsprize, and that has to be something really nice! So, I have to be especially a beauty, and got a future as a model!
I can�t understand why they call me for a blonde. I�ve heard that blonds are girls that doesn�t understand much, I�m very smart myselves , so then I�m not a blond I have to say.

Today
when I got back home, I saw that it was a dog in my doggarden. I began to bark, and that�s not normal for me to do. My people looked strange at me and said �Don�t you recognize your own mother?� My fur stood right up, I had to show that here I come! I got a little bit embarresed when I went toward the �door� and saw that it was my mum. Mum just laughed at me and said � Fia, what are you up to?�. So then we played a little together, and I thought it was good to be back home again.
Something
that I like the best is to walk down to the main road to get the mail. Then I get a nice grip in my �rope�, and then I�m very proud. One day I found a bird laying in the ditch, I think I was very clever when I came with it. I got a lot of bragging because I�m an apporting birddog, whatever that means. I can�t fly like the birds, so I wonder why it�s called that?
Inside
my doggarden, there we have a big tree. I have a project going on there. I shall see how much of the tree that I can manage to get down. Here a day, I had a very huge branch, it was much bigger that me, so I was very clever that managed to carry it. I like to be out in the garden. There I can be the whole day. It�s a nice house under the �ground� which I can walk down into if I want to. There it is straw, light and a warminglamp so there is a very nice warm from the red light. I like to be there, but my mum is not that satisfied, but she�s there anyway sometimes.
Mum
doesn�t stay at the doggarden very much, but when we play sometimes I trick her. We play with a stick, and then I run of, maybe under the hut, or in another direction, and mum pretends that she doesn�t know where I am. Then I have to smile a little. I�ve heared that we have many strange looks in our family. It runs with the family that we shake on our heads when it�s something that we wonder about.
Today I heared that I had got �runningtime�. I run outside in my garden every day, so I wonder what they meant by that. I was a little concerned because I had to og to the toilet a lot and it came a strange smell that the people call blood. Mum said that it was nothing to worry about. I should just be very good to kick arond when I was finished at my toilet, because then would other boydogs smell it and come on visit. Strange isn�t it? The people are not agreeing with her, because they watch me all the time , so no strange dogs should come.
I'm
rather lucky that have my mum with me, but I�m not a �mummy�s darling� anyway ! My mum lives a long way from me, but now she�s visiting me, because her human mum has so much to do with something that they call homework. That�s what they call a book that she sits and look down in, and it wasn�t very good when I tried to eat it! The mum to Ona is something that they call �blue russ�, and she�s wearing something around her neck which she blows on, I think it�s very funny and shake my head a lot! Besides she�s got some strange clothes, with a lot of pictures on, and it smells funny of her. She has started to wear a hat, now when it�s almost summer. In the winter when it was cold then she went without it, but when it�s hot she wears the hat. I don�t manage to understand the humans! On the hat it�s a tassel that I�m rather interested in, there it hangs many strange things like icesticks which I�m rather enthusiastic to try to get!
This was all for this time, because now I want to go out and play awhile! I�m a rather determined young lady, and I have a lot of fun! We see you some other time! Take care in the meanwhile.
