SNOW!!!

The first snow of the season definitely deserves its own blogpost!

And after spending 6 years in subtropical Brazil, I really find it something special.

 Even after the huge amounts we had in the beginning of this year.

It really looks wonderfully magical in the garden!

 And after a grey start this morning, we're also having sunshine now.

Snow & sun, what more can we ask for?

Of course, Senna put her nose in the snow!

Although being Brazilian, she doesn't mind the cold at all!

Have a nice day & enjoy the arrival of the winter (at least on this side of the equator!).

Bisous,

Our little sweetie turnt 2 today!

We got her when she was just about 2 months old & she is just so adorable, you can't imagine. Always happy, sweet & full of energy. She needs a lot of walking & so do I. We both gained some kilos during the holidays (which for me is really inevitable as I travel back to the Netherlands only once a year and just have to indulge in all kinds of food I missed the past year!), so I made up my plan for the coming months... exercise and a healthier lifestyle (again!).

But for now: Happy Birthday Senna!

The life of a... Brazilian dog!

Our little lady Senna went to the beauty salon today. She had a bath, nails were done and teeth were cleaned. The treatment took about an hour and a half and she's got a nice perfume now. This is what she looked like when I picked her up:

(can you imagine, there are 24 hour pet shops in São Paulo, dogs have a 'banho' almost every week and still there are many people living on the streets, no home, no food, no nothing... the contrast is too big to be honoust)

Love,

C.

May I introduce you to... Senna!

A bit later than planned (problems with the internet connection... argh!). But finally, here she is, our new family member.

Isn´t she just adorable?

She´s such a happy dog, when she sees somebody, her whole body moves (not just her tail!). She still looks like a little coton ball, whatever she does, it is difficult to get angry with her (and she already knows that!)!

Oh gosh...

We bought a dog today!
A female Golden Retriever puppy which is 2 months and 2 weeks old (born on August 12).
It´s sooooo sweet!
I knew it, we had a look at the breed and the 3 of us were just lost.

Went to the pet shop (open 24 hours!!) and bought all the necessary things to be ready for the BIG DAY tomorrow as this little monster will enter our house!

We are all so excited about it and really hope we won´t regret it...
So, hopefully tomorrow, I will you show a picture and tell you the name we chose!
Sweet dreams for now!
