Visitors...

This has been the best weekend for a long long time! We have had visitors since Friday, first Merethe and Lasse came, you know they who have my best friend Warda The Sloughi and Halal The Saluki!? This time they had little one too, her name is Ada and she is an Azawkah, she is very small and only 3 month old, or less... Then some old friends of mum came all the way from Norway, they had a house that was a car, or a car that was a home, it was a bit weird! Their names are Nils and Guri and they had 2 dogs; Jamila a Saluki and Nashmi that was an Azawakh too. I have never seen one before in my life and now there were two ones here the same weekend! Nils and Guri were on their way to a dogs show in Gibraltar.

We went for a walk Saturday morning:




Then after breakfast we went into our little town Castalla, and everybody stopped to watch us! Old men pointed and discussed which of us could be the best hunter and what kind of "galgos" we were...





Before we went home all the folks wanted a small rest at the bar in the park. The owner was very nice and gave us a big table in the shade. And he asked if he could hold me and Knodden and be taken a picture of. You can see us here! We wil go there and give him the photo one day this week, I think he will like it a lot!

Bye for now....

Babies...

You know what?

In Norway, where my folks comes from, and Teefah (my real mother) were born and Hobby and Paloma lived for many years before the moved here..., there, in Norway, is a litter of Afghan-babies!

It was supposed, two times, that Paloma should have had babies earlier this year, but she never got any. So I have never seen so small babies, ...since I was that small myself of course. But today I saw lots of picturers of small small afghans, they are really cute! I wish we had lots of those here so I could play with them! I show you some of the pictures here so you can see for yourself, and there are more pictures of them here: www.kennelcaravan.com

Afghans and agility!

Ha ha! I look forward to see Hobby & Paloma's faces when they read this post!

You know we have some very good friends that live a bit south along the coast from us, near Almería?! My best friend Warda lives in that familiy... I hope she comes to visit soon!

Today Warda's mum Merethe emailed me some very exciting photos! You can see them below...





PS. Hobby and Blondie, it's time to get your bodies in shape...

Help! Agility salukis runs in the family!

OK..., it is just to accept and give in! Agility is definitly for us salukis, and it even runs in my familiy!

When mum saw my post from yesterday, that there where no pictures of agility salukis on the net, she went to her computer and found some photos for me to publish here. They show "Qashida" (Caravan Qasiidah Bint Sha'awa) doing different agility things... And do you know what!? Qashida is my AUNT, she is my mother Teefah's sister!!!



You can see she is really good at jumping, ...and almost as pretty as me!

So, now I really do have something to live up to... Knodden has promised to help me, but Sterling just turned his back to us and said that he will NEVER EVER do anything like that! Hobby and Paloma just stuck their noses in the air and said that they had still not seen any afghans doing agiliy...

So..., if any of you out there know an afghan who do agility and have photo proof of it, please contact me!

Agility & obedience...

I have learned two new words today: agility and obedience... The first means someting about running very fast and jump over things and up and down things etc... Probably something like what I do in the hills everyday, but mum says that one can not run just as one like, you must run in the direction that the owner points and over the obstacle they point at... sounds weird...

The other word; obedience, was not so easy to understand. Mum said that a dog that is obedient only does what he/she is allowed to do...? Hmmm, that doesn't sounds very fun, eeehh?

Mum showed us lots of photos here: http://www.starcan.es/ and said that she had been there yesterday evening, and that when she goes there next time, some of us dogs are going with her. We are supposed to learn this "agility and obedience".

We big ones (the salukis and afghans) have discussed this and believe this is more a thing for the "small'ies" (= the shelties)... at least Hobby and Paloma and Sterling agreed strongly upon that.



We looked at the internet and found pictures of many dogs doing agility, and lots of them where shelties. We could NOT find ANY afghans and salukis doing agility at internet...so maybe it IS a thing for only the shelties...?

But then Knodden and I taked more about it today and we think it sounds a little bit fun, at least we would meet a lot of other dogs there and get new friends? And Sam and Hugo, the neighbours dogs, will go too, so it could be fun... We'll see...

Yippeeeee!!!!

I am so happy! Knodden is here!

He came Sunday and had a lot to tell about all the things he had done when being away. He says that everything was fun and interesting, only the flight it self was very boring. Here you can see him at the airport waiting to get on board...



Today mum said that it wasn't as hot as it usually is, and took us for a long walk. We left at 18.30 and came back at ca 20.30. We went the "round" we usually walk when it isn't the warmest period in the summer. But I can tell you it was VERY hot for the first hour, then it cooled down a bit. At the picture we are almost back home and the sun is soon about to set. The evenings here comes very fast, one minute it is sun, the other it is almost dark.

Sam...

You have heard before about Sam, the neighbours dog... We are still very good friends, I love to bite him in his ears, and he is very kind, he never says anything when I do it. Sometimes he try to run after his ball, but can't as I am hanging by his ear! Ha ha...



In Sam's familiy lives also Hugo, the pointer mix that was found badly hurt on the streets, probably hit by a car, last year. He is better now in his legs, but there is something wrong with his back, so lately he has not been allowed to run off lead, he must rest they say. Below you can see Hugo in the back, and Sam flirting with me...



I think he is very cute, so sometimes he is allowed to kiss me too! :-)



We like to go for long walks in the hills...



He is always close to me!

Mum says that on Sunday this weekend, Knodden will come home! That will be fun! Knodden and Sam are very good friends. Knodden is friends with Hugo too, Knodden likes everybody! I hope Sunday is very soon so we can go for a walk all of us and play together!
