We were riding in the car the other day, just around town, when we noticed Joy chewing on somethinbg. I thought it was jut the bone we has given her, however this asumption was incorrect. Eva later found out that she had chewed a cable in the car. A visit to the mechanic was in order. SHe told them that she feared the dog had chewed on the radio cordes. Wrong assumption again...it was the air bag cords. This will cost a total of about 400 Euros. Not Good!!!
I was walking her one day. It was raining and the weather was kinda dreary and dressing outside. I noticed that my toe felt strang when walking. A mixture of wetness, coldness, and a sort of roughness while stepping down. Turns out Joy had chewed a whole in my snearkes to the point that my tow was sticking out the bottom. I had to buy new shoes.
What else has Joy done? LOTS I CAN TELL YOU: Shes a bad little puppy.
oH YEAH, on Holloween, Leon went trick or treating. I am a candy thief, Ill admit it. I steal my siblings candy, but hey, who doesnt. Unfortunatly, I was not satisfied with the batch of candy he brought home. Im America they give out loads of scrumptious candy. In Austria they view it as an oppertunity to get ride of the old unwanted candy that has gathered on their sheves throughout the year. You all know what I mean, that candy bar that you hate but cant bring yourself to throw away due to the guilty fealing of waste. I mean little children in Africa would die for this candy. Well, now that Holloween has started gathering followered in Vienna, their is a solution to austrians problems. Just give the old candy to the children, they wont be able to tell the differance. My favorits in Leons stash of candy would by fat be the old cough drop, and the melted valentines marshmallow in the shap of a smiley face heart. One word to describe them, REPULSIVE!!!
One more thing, Evas English is so bad that she thought a breed of dogs were called HUSH PUPPIES.
thanlks Libra for the cous cous recipe!
Wow - it sounds like Joy needs plenty of chew toys and lots of supervision. Mom says she used to have dogs that chewed, too. Her dog Pal chewed up a chair in Mimi's living room once, and she also ate a watch and a camera before she broke the habit. Another dog chewed up Mimi's shoes while sitting at her feet on a vacation trip. Mimi was riding without her shoes, and when they stopped the car and she went to put them on, they were in shreds(and they were good shoes, too - not Hush Puppies)! How is the obedience training going, by the way?
ReplyDeleteWe had a lot of kids for Halloween and plenty of good, fresh candy - Hershey bars, Reeses, M&Ms, etc. We still have some left over - too bad you couldn't raid our candy stash. I think the Austrian system of giving out stale sweets is pretty diabolical - maybe that's the true spirit of Halloween.
Other news, our parakeet has laid two eggs! Mom took the first one out of the cage because the vet said it would be all right, but then "Keith" laid another egg almost immediately. She has been sitting on that egg since last Friday. Mom is waiting for her to lose interest before removing it, because she doesn't want her to lay any more (it's a drain on their system and depletes the calcium). In the beginning she wasn't eating very well, but now she is acting more normal and her appetite is good. Anyway, it's caused a stir in Nutley to learn that our bird is a girl and that she'd like to have a family. She's going to have to be happy with the one she found!! Love you - bye for now.
