Time for another update I thought it was well passed time for another update, as things have happened, and changed and other things are still ticking along. Dogs are doing well – I’ve now taken all of them to St Francis Animal Hospital at one point or another in the last few weeks and I have […]
happy dogs
A gorgeous morning walk and a little Odin update
A gorgeous morning – still cool enough that the dogs could enjoy themselves, but the sun was out and it warmed up slowly. By the time we got back to the car, it was starting to get quite warm, so we were just in time. We discovered a NEW section of the Bahrenbach Pfad! (The […]
Day Thirteen and it just gets better
So I decided to just blog daily for the first two weeks of Odin’s adventure with us and then after that I will blog every few days which is back to my “usual” schedule – I think that’s a good length of time for people to see the changes in him and his life with […]
Day Eleven and the Gang’s All Here
Last night my husband finally returned home after just on 5 months away. I really wish I’d thought of recording his home-coming welcome with the dogs because it was eye-watering sweetness 🙂 Azzie and Gina went completely berserk with happiness and Odin was beside himself with joy 🙂 I’ve never seen him wag his tail […]
Bones!
Since today is Azzie’s birthday I got her a large marrow bone and of course I can’t not give the others, so they got too (not QUITE as big of course! :D) I think this was Odin’s first ever marrow bone… he was intrigued and fascinated and not quite sure what to do with it […]
Day Seven
No photos from this morning’s walk, as we walked on main post (not allowed to take photos, really, and I was juggling three retractable leads and 2 bags of poop) but it was a good test of Odin’s reaction to cars and people. Wasn’t too busy, as we were there reasonably early – start of […]
what a difference a change makes
Amazing how something as simple as a change of route can solve so many problems. This time, for our early afternoon walk, instead of going up toward the skate park, we headed down what would normally be our “lunch time walk” and for our lunch time walk earlier, we headed the opposite way. It all […]
Morning walk – Day Two
Heading into the teens in temperature (Celsius) out there already, so we took it very slow. We went the same direction as yesterday morning – just so Odin felt a sense of “I know where I’m going” so he felt a bit more confident and it worked because he was FULL of bounce and happiness. […]
counting down and a lovely morning walk
When you spend so much time on your own, you tend to lose track of the days, dates and holidays. Apparently today is a holiday. “Good Friday” Which means everything German is closed and pretty much everything American too. I was going to go to Ramstein to buy some much needed things for Odin’s arrival, […]
and on a lighter note
I’ve discovered a sure fire way to make my dogs happy and relaxed and utterly ZONKED for hours: give them a marrow bone, after a LONG morning walk in the rain and wind and cold! I waited nearly 5 days after giving them their first marrow bone in years, just to be sure it didn’t […]
