stupid humans...

why do they have to bath us? We were quite happy playing in the dirt and puddles... And how dare they to use the garden hose, don't they know that we should be brought to the doggie spa, where we get some treats and increase our never ending bill?

why us?


basil...
Rosemary...
and some more Basil...

trouble in paradise...

now in the last couple of days some unfortunate events occurred, which are causing our future plans to get slightly to massively tangled up.

The first issue was that we discovered termites in our condo and so had to contact our landlord regarding this. Now termites seem to be rather common in california and are basically everywhere. You just need to take care of them and discourage them to move into your house or they will eat it... Now running some numbers, it would take roughly 5800 years until they would be finished with our condo. So we have some time...

Well once we contacted our landlord and requested a 'pet friendly' approach to our termite solution. We immediate received an email regarding 'our no pet clause' in the lease. Which were news to us, since the same landlord praised the place as 'dog friendly' and perfect with the backyard and the tiles to raise a dog.

Needless to say, we were rather surprised and now keep exchanging emails since days, to have a 'pet' inspection by our landlord, which fits everyones schedule.

we mean no harm...
is it possible that our little two puppies, will have us evicted from our home soonish? We really did not plan on buying a house this year and really wanted to wait till next summer.

Needless to say, we both decided to start looking at houses to buy now and not rent yet another place. Since it makes no sense.

A growing family...

people who followed me on twitter or facebook or had to spend time with me in the office. Knows by now that our little family of 3 (robin aka wifey, gert aka hubby, mojito aka stinky aka guinea pig aka mo) numbers 5 now.

What changed? Well we got us two absolutely adorable 8 weeks old black labrador puppies (basil and rosemary), which are happily tearing up the place. And do not listen at all...

rosi sleeping, while basil is awake for once

the most peaceful moments are when they are sleeping, which gladly is a lot right now

currently working more form home, since they can't be left alone...

where ever we are, they are. They do not like to be left alone at all.
Now as far as we can tell so far, it's not gonna be easy to train them. Since they are in separately. Where one is, is the other and they basically follow us anywhere.

The biggest issue so far, how do you teach a puppy a name, if there is always another one close by. And how to get them to the point that they say something, when they have to pee.
