Happy New Year

Have a stunning 2009.
May all your dreams come true...

I celebrated with pink bubbly.
And look why I had to have this bottle:

Lavinya was intrigued by all the fireworks

And in daytime Attila was watching over Chakka

Frosted

Frosted sand

Bird tracks

Frozen Flowers

So how weird is this?
This plant decided to bloom again in winter...
I didn't tend to it at all
While the bird pool's water is completely frozen

And the ditch is frozen over as well, no wonder at -5 Celsius/23 Fahrenheit

Merry Xmas

Baked a cake.
And one for Yvon & Ron as well

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL !!!!

In Limbo

On our way to Limburg Lavinya was sleeping comfortably on my lap
Meet Nooka, yet another out of focus dog

Lavinya and American Indian Dog Nooka really liked each other

Piggies Mambo & Kuuske

Lunchtime?

Mambo is on the look out for hungry wolves

But Lavinya also spotted the few chicken at the back while Ziggy tries to contact her

This Sunday Miriam, her daughter Angela, Lavinya & I went to Limburg to visit Kim & Peter and all of their lovely animals

Kim & Nooka

Nooka is cooling of in the pond after all this playtime

Miriam, Ziggy and Jones, who is retiring at Kim & Peters

Angela, Jones and the hungry wolves

Saffie

Watje & Nooka

Watje is laughing his head off

Ziggy, one of their 18 cats(!!!!!!!), is the smallest and sweetest of them all

Some of their other former stray cats:

I just love their huge ferret Sasquats!!!

But oldie Dommel is adorable! Unfortunately I don't have a pic of their other one, Pike

After this visit we went over to Call of the Wild's Marjolein and her 7 very sweet dogs.
But look in what a gorgeous pittoresque charming house they live!!!!! Wow!!!!!
With beautiful enormous pines in the huge garden, yep, this completely is my dreamhouse!!!

Lavinya stayed in the garden with the youngest Laika, Kasmir, while we went inside for a little while

Here was no pray at hand, so she was able to roam free

One of the females, Tobolin, a very cute one, is waiting for her turn
