School at first and then work

I'm well again and have been at school... finally. We have had a loooooong Christmas holiday. Today I met both of my parents, and my siblings of course :) My dad's mistress had some dead birds with her and we learned how to carry them in the mouth. When we get older we are going to help some hunter to collect real birds, I hope my master's son Rickard wants to take me with him one day.

Now I'm at work again with my mistress and there aren't many changes. The same old people live in the house and the same people work... I have to admit that I like my mistress' collegues, they play with me and always give me something good when they eat themselves.

I'm sick

I've got diarrhoea and need to go out often at night :( Luckily for me my people have understood that they need to hurry when I tell them it's time to go out. My mistress cooked rice for me and mixes it with my usual food, it's much tastier this way (but still not as tasty as Sixtens food)!

I just hope I get better soon so I can work again. On Saturday it's school again and my mistress said my dad would be there.

Dog show

Now I've been on my first dog show and it was fun. Even my sister and my brother Ludde were there. I drove in Ludde's car and we played and wrestled all the way to Katrineholm and all the way back home.

I showed Inger to all those people and dogs who had come to the show and did it well, I am the best labrador bitch. My brother Ludde won over me and he is the very best labrador.

For them who can Swedish:

Comfort

I have my own dog cage in the bedroom to sleep in but it's not as big as I would like. I usually take some steps and stretch my body when I wake up and then lay down again, but I have grown a lot and can't do it in the cage anymore. Instead I have to tell my people I need to go out in the middle of the night and stretch myself then.

My mistress thought it was better for me to sleep in my own dog bed and go around as I want in the bedroom. She knows I don't need to go out in the middle of the night anymore because I'm a big girl now... She just forgot I had realized that almost every morning after we had been outside and collected the newspaper I was allowed to sleep in my humans bed for a while.

I like their bed, it's so big and soft, and I hoped they didn't realize it was only in the middle of the night but they did :( I had to sleep in my own bed until the morning anyway... until last night, now I can jump up on their bed, you see! I did it several times this night but my mistress put me back on the floor. At last I waited until she fell asleep and could sleep in the bed until the morning :)

At the pet clinic

My weight is 18,5 kg now and I've got neck massage and dog sweets from a nice veterinary surgeon again. My people say I've got two rabies vaccinations now but what do they know? They also say I need to give some blood for a test after 120 days before they allow me to travel abroad.

Sleeping beauty

Now I've been working for 3 nights in a row and I'm quite tired. My mistress says I only sleep - at home and at work - but it's not true. I have played tug-of-war and catching a ball with her colleagues. I have also been teasing two old ladies who like me. However, my mistress won't work in 9 days (actually nights) so I have plenty of time to have a good rest :)

At work

Now I'm working again! Have been at home doing nothing for too long. Everything is as it used to be at work and I ran around as much as I could to be really sure. Then I got tired and took a nap. My mistress had to drive away for some time and collect a paper which had ended up somewhere else but I was so tired that I stayed at work and slept until she got back.

Happy New Year everybody!

Now it's 2010, whatever it means.

I was at New Year Eve dinner at my neighbors with my people. My mistress got tired and needed a nap so I got to follow her home and sleep in her bed too. There were many young people outside with things that sounded very loud. Later I learned from my people these things are called fireworks and many animals are afraid of them. Why?
