Happy Easter!

.... and off the wild one goes... :)

Swim Class

Jamie had swim class yesterday. :) No not really, he's already a master at swimming. This is actually a rehab place for dogs but they welcome healthy dogs too who are only interested in swimming for fun and/or for staying in shape. I thought this could be a great activity for James during the cold winter, so that's why we are testing it. It's quite a big difference swimming in a pool compared to swimming in a lake though, but with training I'm sure Mr James can learn the right "pool behavior". :)

Igår hade James simskola. :) Eller ja, kanske inte riktigt. *fniss* Men han var och simmade på ett hundrehab. Inte för att han är skadad utan det här var i friskvårdssyfte. Han älskar verkligen att simma så jag ville testa och se om det här kan vara något han kan syssla med under den kalla vintern. Första gången är tydligen "stressande" för de flesta hundar men jag tror James kan lära sig det här också så han kan slappna av mer och verkligen ha kul! :)

Typical

This is a typical position even for Mr. James to sleep in. He sleeps between us in bed (like in pic 2) and/or somtimes even on top one of us (see pic 1). :)

Detta är en ganska typisk sovposition även för den unge James. Han sover mellan oss i sängen (ex. som på bild 2), och ibland kan det även bli på en utav oss (se bild 1). Ska man ha närkontakt så ska man... :)

Jamie's Dad

What a handsome Dad Jamie has, eh? :)

Vilken stilig far Jamie har, eller hur?! :)

ps. pics from Kennel Needful Thing's.

Our baby boy

Yesterday, when I came home from work there was a "postcard" waiting on me. It was from our vet informing us that Alih's ashes had arrived and was ready for pick up. :(

We miss our precious man like crazy. However, I am sure he's having a fantastic time being back together with Carlos. The Dream Team has been united. My Beloved Big Boyz. <3

ps. THANK YOU ALL for the nice comments, e-mails, phone calls and texts in regards to Alih's passing. It means a lot. :)

TACK TILL SAMTLIGA för alla snälla kommentarer, e-mail, telefonsamtal och SMS i samband med Alihs bortgång. Det betyder jättemycket. :)

Our beloved son has gone to heaven

Our beloved Alih has crossed over to the other side. We are in mourning. :(

Nytt Mobil Nr.

Jag har ett nytt mobil nummer så om ni inte fått ett SMS eller e-mail från mig med det nya numret, hör av er omgående (på det gamla numret) så får ni det nya. ;)

The 1st Day of 2010

The pics are from this morning.

We wish ALL our friends a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!!!

Due to no longer having as much time and due to having lost some of the inspiration - Alih, James and I have decided to take a break from the blog for a while. However, we promise to still visit YOUR blogs as often as we can.

James will continue with Weight Pull training, obedience, search and all the other activities. This year we will also return to the Show Ring. Our first show will be in February, so please cross your fingers for us. We'll keep you updated on how that works out.

I am hoping to keep my other blog alive... we'll see how that works though but if you're feeling like it, please stop by and say hi.

Pga av tiden inte alltid räcker till numera, och pga att inspirationen tyvärr har försvunnit - har Alih, James och jag bestämt att ta ett avbrott från vår blogg under en tid. Vi lovar dock att besöka ERA bloggar så ofta vi kan.

Våra planer för närvarande är att fortsätta med Weight Pull, lydnadsträning, sök och alla andra aktiviter vi redan sysslar med. Dessutom kommer vi återvända till utställnings ringen detta år. Vår första utställning kommer äga rum i februari, så håll tummarna för oss. ;) Vi håller er uppdaterade på hur detta går.

Ska försöka uppdatera den andra bloggen jag har, men no promises. ;)

Alih's Belated 10th B-day Party

Since I was sick when Alih turned 10 (November 21) we decided to have a b-day party on another day. And what better day than to celebrate him on the day our beloved Carlos would have turned 10!!!

Yesterday, on New Year's Eve, Alih finally got his 10th Birthday Party! His beloved brother Carlos and his best friends from LA were deeply missed, however, he still managed to have a BLAST! :)

He received gifts, a cake, a pig ear... and he got a chance to tease his little brother (i.e. James) crazy with his new toys. :)
