Countdown to Christmas – Day 22 After mild but dull and depressing January, February brought a little bit of snow and lots of sunshine. Sander could not wait to perform his famous ritual sun dance. Do you remember? Nach dem milden, aber trüben und deprimierenden...

Countdown to Christmas – Day 23 Do you remember what you did in January? I was nursing Isfrid who had come down with a high fever and a mysterious infection. She spent over a week in the infirmary aka my office and we have never found out what was actually wrong...

Countdown to Christmas – Day 24 Dear readers, I have neglected you for months but believe me I had good reasons. To make up for this and to catch up, I will countdown to Christmas with you, meaning that there will be a blog every day – even on weekends. To...

Today is Islay’s turn and what shall I tell you about him that you do not already know? He is the strongest and biggest (6.9 kg) and the undisputed king of the back garden. As he is also a terror and attacks and chases all the others, they avoid him as good as...

We still do not know why Isfrid got so sick the beginning of this year but the fever has not returned so far and she is as fit as a fiddle. Just like people, some animals can eat whatever they want and they never gain weight while others like poor Marvi only have to...

It is so good to have a blog archive! Looking at last year’s entry I read that Marvi weighed 6.3 kg at her 6th birthday. What good news do I have today! Our diet (and my organisational skills) finally led to results: The seven year old Marvi only weighs 5.8 kg....

Welcome to birthday week 2018! As you know by now only Maxine and Jaspar do not celebrate their birthdays in spring. Let’s start the week with Mira who has turned 7 today. Mira currently weighs 5.3 kg which is a little hefty but apart from that she is doing...

What a week! Summer in April and nature is exploding. I spotted the first cockchafers. As issues this month have been at a record low, I think you will believe me when I am saying that I still have images from February that are waiting to be shown. I have a little...

No, this is not a medieval torture device in disguise. This is the latest spring fashion in orthetics straight from Italy! The model name of this monstrocity is „Milan“ and even features a picture of the famous cathedral (Steed, I apologize but it is not...

Well done, Susette and Karl-Theodor! Mrs. Peel did indeed see the best husband of all trying to find the perfect spot for the new LTE antenna! (Please note the professionalism of the testing device.) One of the drawbacks of living in the sticks is the sloooow internet...

We start the new week where we stopped last week – with an image of Mrs. Peel. We had the most wonderful weekend and today was even better. On Sunday hundreds of cranes crossed the house while flying north (I will show you some pics tomorrow). Surely spring must...

You know what a garden issue means: A bit of text, lots of pictures. In dull and mild January nature was still 5 weeks ahead. The crocuses were starting to bloom and the tulip patch was beginning to look like one. But then came February. It still is bitterly cold and...

Today is the first day of spring – in the metereological calendar – and, oh boy, was it cold last night (-9 degrees centigrade and an icy wind). Naturally, a roller shutter in our bedroom had to break that night. Thankfully help is already on its way. It...

Did we suffer in dark and dull December and January! Obviously the darkness was the price we had to pay for the mild weather. Now it is the other way around. February says good-bye with brilliant sunshine – and bitter cold. But before the cats show you how they...

Happy Chinese New Year! And welcome to the year of the Dog or the Brown Earth Dog to be more precise. For me, this year forecasts lots of work – as you have already noticed. So stay patient dear readers! In tune with this, we have a Tuesday riddle this week and...

Some of our plants really have a hard time. The potted robinia in the front garden for example. The big flower pot is one of Jaspar’s favourite haunts and he just loves to sharpen his claws on the stem. There was once a protective clear wrap around the stem but...

It is now official that in Germany December 2017 and January 2018 have been the darkest months for decades. Furthermore January was too wet and mild again. Even the cats were suffering from winter blues and it had rained so much that I had to move the ground bird...

Somehow the October garden issue fell victim to our top model voting because I used most pictures I shot that month in specials for the various team members. That leaves the November and December garden and we are done with 2017. As I only took a couple of garden pics...
