Visit of Darek and Julia _ Visite de Darek et Julia

I love long weekends especially if there are some friends from out of town visiting us from San Diego. We are having fun in the Bay Area, enjoying the super weather, going out to winery and dinner at Azor and Cristina. I don't want the weekend to end honestly I am having a hell of a good time but Tuesday back to work with mommy.

Natasha Birthday Party - L'anniversaire de Natasha

Today is Mother's day and we went in Atherton to the park to celebrate Natasha's surprised birthday party. I love party and I had a lot of fun. The only problem was the ground was full of dry grass and they sticked to my possies. My daddy and mummy showed their adoption brochure to their friends and they liked it. I can not wait to have a brand new baby home but I hope he/she will be nice to me and not pull my hair too much. The kids at the party were nice and did give me a lot of cuddles...which I love :)

My new house in Sunnyvale - Ma nouvelle maison

Hi there,
I am finally comfortable in my new house. It took me a month to feel OK with the place but now I love the new balcony where I could check the neighborhood's dog passing by. I love the market on Saturday and my new walks are great.

We are moving to our new house - Nous demenagons!

Today we are moving to our new house....
This morning I was quite lazy and got so overwhelm that I stay a little longer in bed...my last night here so I must make the best of it.
My uncles and our friends came to help my family to move the furniture but as I am little and every was stepping on me they put me in a box....Please don't forget about me....I am ready to go

My first Bike ride

Today was a very important day as I finally had my first bike ride on my daddy's new bike. He bought it last week to go to work and now after trying on a few baskets, I was ready to take on the road with him. It was very hot today so we did not go very far but I can assure you that I am going to love to go to work with daddy now. My next purchase will be google, don't you think it is a great idea??

Baby Maya I am coming

Today I went to see the new baby Maya...I don't know where it came from but my parents said to me that it was new...:) Honestly she was quite small and was sleeping all the time. I was curious of what the baby looked like so i tried to extend myself on my pawsies but somehow I was still too small to see her.

My mommy made some booties for the baby and they looked pretty nice. I liked the pink and blue together. I had a great afternoon and enjoyed my time with my new soon to be best friend, Maya.

There is a Deer in the front yard

Hey guys...The deers are out theses days. Yesterday and today they were bugging me. Here are some photos of the most patient deer that I never meet before. Normally they run away but this one was not intimidated by me barking....

NYC, I am coming...

Hello New York...or better say good night New York. We arrive very late today to the Big Apple (this is what human call it). We had to stop on the freeway for me to go ...you know what. It was quite hard for me as the grass was high and dry...Oh somehow i was able to make it. We took a very fast taxi to the hotel. OK, tomorrow is a big day.

Hello Denver

I am finally arrived in Colorado. It is quite hot but I like it. I am staying at the Curtis in Downtown Denver City. Tomorrow we need to go to Colorado Springs to pick up my boyfriend Tom from his camp. He will be so surprise that we (I) are coming to pick him up. I can not wait to see his face!!!

I got a cold!!!

Today I am feeling little down, my noose is running and I am not quite myself. I have been snoring like a truck driver....not good. Anyhow after 3 days, my parents were worried and decided to go to the clinic with me on Sunday. I was quite scared of the old veterinarian but I put on a brave face and it was all forgotten very fast. A COLD. This is what I have. I hope it will not compromise my trip to New York this week...Now I have to take some antibiotics (which I hate). Two pinks syringes a day...what a dog's life.

Denver-NYC

I am so excited, next week I am going to Denver and New York. Could you believe it...I hope my mummy will take me. She said she will but you know she could eventually change her mind. She has to go to work and I will be with her(maybe) most of the time. I am very very excited...

BBQ in South San Francisco

Hey, summer is here and my favorite activity is the BBQ. I love a good BBQ with friends and most important of all, a lot of good meat like sausages, pork, chicken and eventually beef. Hum, the smell, the taste is heavenly to me. Last Saturday, we went to Ola and Michael for a great BBQ, the first one of the season. I tried to beg for some food (which I did get eventually)...My old charm is still working :) They even had another doggy for me to play with, but he was a little clumpy and we ended up not socializing much...
We had a great time and stayed way after all the meat and goodies were gone. I cannot wait for the next one!

Hey, L’été est ici et mon activité favorite est le barbecue. J’aime un bon barbecue avec mes amis et en n’oubliant pas le plus important, beaucoup de viande (saucisses, porc, poulet et même le bœuf). Hum, l’odeur, le goût sont parti du paradis pour moi. Samedi dernier, nous sommes aller chez Ola et Michael pour un super barbecue – le premier de la saison. J’ai fais ma belle pour avoir des petits morceaux (que j’ai eu). Mon charme marche toujours J Il y avait même un autre chien avec qui je pouvais jouer, mais il était un peu trop foufou et nous n’avons pas trop jouer.

Nous avons passe une bonne après-midi et nous sommes reste tard après que la viande et la nourriture étaient toute fini. Je ne peux pas attendre pour le prochain.

My first road trip to South California

Hey you guys, It has been more than a decade (in dog’s year) since I wrote about my adventures. So it is time to update you on my latest one, a simple road trip from Santa Clara to San Diego….

It all started on the morning of Friday June the 13^th, a very omen day of luck because I was going to vacation for a week with my human parents . What a pleasure to go on vacation, imagine they told me about the beautiful beaches of south California and I could not sleep at all that night as I was imagining myself running on the hot sand after seagulls and crabs, my hair in the wind, the water rushing after me (I don’t like to be wet) a beautiful dream of California vacation…Ok so we could dream, anyhow I was telling you that my parents decided not to take a plane this time but to go by car (which I do not like very much)! Oh well what can I do, I am only a 12.5 pounds dog after all. We left early in the morning to our first stop: Ventura near Los Angeles. The trip was quite long so we stopped on the way in Solvang, a danish city where I could stretch my pawsies and smell the flowers.

Later, we drove to Santa Barbara for dinner. I like Santa Barbara. There was a lot of art galleries tp go to. I even got a treat from my mommy at a local dog shop :)
Unfortunately, the restaurants had a very strict policy on dog on the patio so I had to stay outside the patio area with my parents. We ended up dining at .......The chicken was excellent...Trust me I tasted it.

After Santa Barbara, we drove to Ventura where we had an hotel for the night. I like hotel, especially king size bed....

Working hard...we made a door

Just kidding! Someone else made the door opening, I was only supervising the work. It looks good to me so far :)

Maserati I am coming....

Today, we are going to test drive the Maserati, a car. ..I took few photos with my uncle at the dealership :) What is wrong with this tire, it's smelling funny....Oh I know, the smell of a new "expensive" car! ....

Do not disturb me I am watching my favorite show!

Watch how concentrate I could be!!!! It was about doggies

Today, it's dinner at Ola and Michael....

Today, in one hour I am going to Ola and Michael for dinner. I must go and get ready. Talk to you soon.

It was great, we had a great time at Ola and Michael's house. The garden is SO cool I could climb and smell the flowers, I feel free. The food and company was superb. I will make sure I am invited again soon in their South San Francisco house....

Two months of silence...Rien depuis deux mois.

Yes it has been already 2 months since I posted my last entry....Nothing really happened in the winter month...except that my daddy sold his car and now when I got to work with him we need to walk for 20 minutes, which is great for me and my pawsies. I like the morning walk when I could get all dirty in the wet grassy.

********

Oui il y a deja deux mois que je n'ai pas ecris...rien de bien extraordinaire n'est arrive...a part que mon maitre a finallement vendu sa voiture et que maintenant quand je vais au boulot avec lui nous devpns marche pendant 20 minutes, ce qui est super pour moi et mes jambettes. J'aime beaucoup ma promenade matinale ou je vais dans l'herbe mouille et deviens sale!!!

Time to go Home....Il est temps de rentre a la maison

Vacations are over...I am leaving France to go back to sunny California. It has been a good two weeks of relaxing fun, food (I think I gain 1/2 pound of weight) and family. On my way back, we stopped in snowy cold Chicago, but in a way the fresh air did me some good between the two flights. A new year is ahead of us, ready for 2008!

***********

Les vacances sont finies. Je pars de France pour retrouver le soleil de la Californie. Nous avons passe deux bonnes semaines de relaxation, avons bien mange (je crois que j'ai pris une demi-livre) et en famille. Durant notre retour, nous nous sommes arrete a Chicago ou il faisait froid et neigeait, mais ca m'a fait du bien de prendre un bol d'air entre les deux avions. Une nouvelle annee commence, je suis prete 2008!

My christmas 2007 in France

I am in France, and really enjoy myself even if the weather is quite cold. I did not do much this time around, just rest, sleep, eat and again sleep... Christmas was hosted by my aunty Maryline where we spend the evening after traveling for more than 48 hours. Anyhow, we ate well some "chapon", for me it was more like a big chicken without balls! this is what they said it was. Anyhow, it did taste like chicken to me. I ate this chapon for almost the entire time I was there (10 days) could you believe it? Anyhow, we had cheese also, good sticky and stinky French cheese....hum it was delicious. I like cheese.

Christmas was presents opening for the kids at Papa Luc's house. The kids were very excited and opened the presents so fast I do not even remember what they had. At least they were leaving me alone which is in itself a great Christmas present to me. I got one present as well, as toy shoe from Maryline, she got it at the vet where she works. Thank you. At least one person thought of poor me!!!!

The week went by and not much to report on that, it was quiet when the kids were not around and crazy when they were. New Year's came and went and before we knew it it was time to say goodbye to everybody and leave VERY VERY EARLY in the morning...like 5 am. I tell you my parents are crazy, why leaving so early, it is not like they had a plane to catch.....oups I guess we had to catch a plane!

Please find attached a selection of photos of our vacation as we (my daddy) took a lot, no A BIG LOT....:)

Je suis en France, et je m’amuse bien même si le temps est plutôt au froid. Je ne fais pas grand chose ces temps-ci, je me repose, je mange, je dors et je mange encore….Noël était chez ma tante Marilyne ou nous avons passe le réveillon après un voyage de 48 heures. Nous avons mange du « chapon », un gros poulet sans les boules ! C ‘est ce qu’ils m’ont dit. De toute façon, ça avais le goût du poulet. J’ai mange du chapon pendant presque tout le séjour (10 jours) incroyable ! Nous avons mange du fromage aussi, du qui sent mauvais…hum c’était super bon. J’aime beaucoup le fromage.

L’ouverture des cadeaux s’est déroule chez Papa Luc. Les enfants étaient très énerve et ont ouvert les paquets tellement vite que je ne me souviens même pas de ce qu’ils ont eux. Au moins, ils m’ont laisse tranquille ce qui est en soit un très bon cadeau de noël pour moi. J ‘ai même reçu un cadeau de Maryline, une petite chaussure en plastique, elle l’a eu chez le vet ou elle travaille. Merci beaucoup. Au moins une personne pense a moi !!!
