Hi hi hi:
Yesterday I had a nice change. Okay, the fact that I spent seven hours lying on train floors was not really pleasant. But the time between those two train rides was fun. Chris went to see her sister, and she has this loveely lively dog. So while they went inside, I played with him. Of course, it was much nicer when Chris came back outside, and I made sure he did not get too close to her.
This was really strange: We went one of the routes Chris usually takes to pick up Shadow, but he was not there on the way back. That's too bad for Chris, I bet she would have ben much happier with him beside her on the way back.
And in the evening we went to see another sister and her little daughter and little dog, but he does not like me much. I usually ignore him and try to stay near Chris, if she does not lock me out on the balcony.
So far my short update, Chris wants to check her emails and is already impatiently waiting, yours, Hapoo.

Hi folks:
You know, just a short comment on the biting issue:
Okay, biting Chris is not a good idea, but what about mom? When she goes shopping with us, she makes sure I am attached to a bench or am locked in the car. But then again she and grandpa always accompany us on our walk. And biting Ajax wouldn't work because he is my only play-mate available.
But listen, what about Shadow? After all he is the one who takes Chris away from me!
Two sides to every coin, very unfortunately! He is the one who occasionally gives me a bite of his Wurst or some other delicious treat Chris would never have shared in her life! And quite often he is there when Chris goes upstairs or away with mom!
It is a pity, there's no biting option! I can't even bite niece Lena, because her mom knows a lot about dogs and would punish me in a way I would never forget! Okay then, biting food will be the only thing to do to keep my teeth strong and well, yours, Hapoo.
P.s.: if you have another suggestion, just drop me a line

Hi friends:
Here's something strange that happened to me a few days ago.
Somebody she calls her nephew came to visit Chris. The night he arrived they decided to walk the two of us, grandpa Ajax and me. Everything went well until we were on our way back, just at the beginning of the paved part of the route. Chris and I were walking behind, and it was dark and late, so I am not quite sure.
Somebody came from the other side on his motor bike. He drove past us, but stopped when he had approached grandpa, and the Nephew was walking just a bit behind them. The guy got off his bike and stood there, holding it with one hand and talking on the phone with the other one. Chris made me sit and stay behind him, and then talked to him and helped him hold his bike.
In the meantime Nephew had gone to attach grandpa to his leash and returned with Mom. A little later another guy came and took the motorbike. I don't know what happened, but I keep on wondering whether Grandpa Ajax finally managed to use his teeth or not.
If that is the case, Shadow said afterwards while talking on the phone with Chris, then I should start finding somebody to use my teeth on: Not the same guy, that would be boring, but somebody I don't like too much, he even suggested Chris' sister.
I am afraid if I do that my master will punish me badly, and I won't enjoy having used my teeth only once. So should I rather leave this for another world, or maybe try it on Chris? Even worse I guess, so rather get over this thought completely, wouldn't you agree?
Have a good time and help me finalizing my decisions, yours, Hapoo.

Hello to all, a rather cheerful hello.
I don't know why it is that I am so cheerful, because yesterday was a mixed day. In the morning Chris thought the weather was good enough to take me for a longer walk. That was nice, I spent my time smelling in every pile of old grass I found and running around. Then she took me on the balcony, and I saw the little cat ear Gorki and the strange dog leaving, which meant I had my peace and quiet back.

At night, when we finally went for our evening walk, Chris kept me with her for a while and me sit and lie down and stand back up several times in a row. I don't know why that was, I did not like it much. However, her wish is my command, she's my master, though sometimes with a sigh.
Now I will go and lay down on my mat, enjoying the morning sun, yours, Hapoo.

Hi friends:
Today was fun fun fun! We went for our evening walk quite late, but in return for my patient waiting we were four dogs:
Grandpa Dicker, sister's dog Gorki, the little one with the cat ears (chris says), and a new shepheard mix I have never seen they call Flora.
We had a great time running around, we went for a longer round to the top of the little hill across the field.
Then on the way back I suddenly found myself playing with a dog. I wanted it to be Ajax, but suddenly it was the new one. She was equally amazed and surprised, but right before we got involved in a fight, sister Suse separated us.
But I tell you, I really enjoyed myself so much! It is fun to run around with many other dogs, occasionally coming back to Chris.
Allright, time to go to sleep and have food before that, cheers, Hapoo.

Hello everybody:
There we are again, Chris and I and Mom on our own. I don’t know, why does Shadow always have to leave? We just started to get along; don’t you think so, Shadow?

I have to tell you that he even introduced a new command in my vocabulary. Apparently he does not like it when I stand right in front of him when he comes from the kitchen into the living room. So I have learnt to go a few steps back whenever he says “Back”. He likes that a lot, and he praises me for being the only bilingual dog he knows. Well, I bet he does not know many dogs

They left me behind once again, and Mom took care of me again. Later I found out that they wanted to go out. They had planned to go to a classical concert, which would have been too noisy for me. Once in the city, they threw over their plan and spent the night in a restaurant and walking around. They did not return late and even took me out for a short walk when they came back.

The next morning Chris got up a little earlier and had breakfast downstairs with Mom, before the two of them walked the two of us, grandpa Ajax and me. Then slowly Shadow got up, too earlier for his morning routine. He did not even have breakfast, but only a cup of tea. Then Mom took us to the main train station by car. Shadow had quite a heavy bag to drag. We made it into all our trains, but when we arrived at the station where Shadow and Chris usually say goodbye, they did not have much time to do so, but had to hurry to catch our train back. But again Chris was quite sad. I know her; I know when she is sad.

Homebody explain this to me: I thought humans were smart and intelligent and had much larger brains than we animals. If that is the case, then why do two people who are so happy with each other always have to say goodbye? Is there a hidden sense in it I don’t get? Anyways, no use to cry and complain, Chris is spending most of her time on the balcony, doing stuff with apples. I think she peals them, so mom can put them into glasses to preserve them for winter. How can somebody think of winter when the sun is still shining so beautifully!
Well there we are, another bunch of thoughts from my hairy black self, I will see what other matters I can put my long nose in, so I have more to tell you the next time, yours, Hapoo.

Hello friends:
I promised to tell you a bit more about myself. It is true that Chris left me behind, as you could read. I remember this one morning, when she and mom took me by car and we went to the kennel. For some odd reason we waited a couple of minutes, and then Chris told me to get back into the car and we went back home.
From my spying activities I found out that there was nobody to greet me then. In the afternoon all four of us, Shadow, mom, Chris and I went by car. Shadow and Chris left, and mom and I continued our journey. We arrived at the kennel again, and this time the man was there to put me into my usual place. Chris had sent my mat along, so it was not that lonely.
I can tell you that playing with the other dog was quite a bit of fun, and the kennel is not bad at all. I don't mind it, it is a nice change in my daily life. But of course, I was quite happy when I was picked up, Shadow even came along.
Chris went inside to talk with the owner, while I stayed with Shadow. I like the man, if only he could stay here forever, so my Chris did not have to be sad anymore!
Allright, I better go now and let Chris switch off the PC, best regards, Hapoo.
