James, Fenny, Cindy!

James has a new friend. She is a 6 year old German Shepherd and she is called Fenny. Her owners previously had Fenja, his first German Shepherd friend, but sadly she died a short time ago at the tender age of almost 14... Then Fenny came; she has always lived in a kennel with a couple of other German Shepherds and never experienced something outside of this enclosed area. Now she enjoys a great life together with Shih Tzu Cindy and walks in the forest or at the beach almost every day. James loved her immediately and they play so nice together! This is one of the first times the two of them were at the beach together and they had a blast. Cindy was there also, but she doesn't play with James and Fenny. James shared his new toy, the Puller, with Fenny today. I hope you enjoy these photos of a beautiful morning at the beach on July 3!

I have a new bed!

Peculiarities...

James has several peculiarities, which makes him who he is! He demonstrated a couple of them on June 30, which you can see below. First, he loves to rest his head on something, preferably a nice, hard, wooden thing, such as the arm rest of the garden chairs or the coffee table :) He likes to put his head in a weird position, which doesn't look comfortable to us, but he does it over and over again! Second, James loves to hide ;) He likes to sleep underneath bushes in the yard, far away from people's eyes... I think he likes the feel of the earth and the ground. James sleeps there when it is hot outside or when it's raining. When you don't know he's there, you won't find him!

Small & big!

Workshops for both of us!

June 14, I entered James and me for a day of workshops. James was entered for a workshop tricks and I had a workshop photography! The day was organized by a Dutch dog forum and is called the do-day. It's always such a nice day filled with lots of dogs, friendly people and fun! I've been going to this day since James was a puppy and we know many people there. This time, the day was held in Heteren; the temperature was good, so it promised to be a nice day. I started with a workshop photography and learned a lot! Hopefully, I can bring this into practice :) We also tried to make a group picture with the dogs of the people doing the photography workshop, you can see the results below! James with his friends Jessy the Bull Terrier, Peer the English Cocker Spaniel and Lijfje the Basset Hound. The last picture wasn't made by me, but it is really nice with James, Dana the Standard Poodle, Kiwi the mixed breed, Peer the English Cocker Spaniel, Lijfje the Basset Hound and Mila the Rough Collie. Later, we enjoyed the workshop tricks. The great day ended with a photo of James and his longtime friend Vinou the Bouvier des Flandres!
