Took a walk in the forrest today with Wauz, my coworker from the shelter. Of course we brought our dogs:

Meet Floeboe (Balou), Keizer (Apollo) and the dude (Axel)

My favorite subject to photograph:

Another one of Jay (last post):

Axel & Billie movie:



The newest addition to our family: Billie.
Not named after Murdock's invisible dog, but after Jeniene's latest infatuation Billie Joe Armstrong. She's totally and completely into Greenday, wearing checkered patterned clothes, red laces in her sneakers and playing guitar.

Oh well, she could've picked a whole lot worse :D

The week is almost over, can't wait to see Axel again. :)

Man, I'm dead on my feet. This week in the shelter is murder on my feet and shoulders, lots of walking/standing and carrying heavy stuff (bags of dogfood, cans with catfood, etc.). But it's mentally exhausting as well. Not only are almost all the cats ill, we also had to let the vet (humanely) euthanise awhole lot of them and one dog. The cats were too sick and were suffering a lot, he was an 'Argentijnse Dog' and a bloody scary one at that. Too agressive to be rehomed. Sad, but it was unfortunately necessary.

I also went to the vet with Axel for his yearly shots. He was SO scared, lol. Unfortunately we also got some bad news. Axel is what you call 'crypto' (short for cryptocism) which means that one of his testes has not descended at all. This testis is still somewhere in his abdomen forming a (bening) tumor there. This tumor is excreting female hormones which are causing his nipples to swell (it is possible to the extend of infection)and lactate and his fur to shed a lot. Also his male genitals will probably shrink. In other words he's turning slowly more and more feminine.

Goddammit. I have an epileptic, homosexual and now transsexual dog. -_- Yay...


But he's still the best dog ever!!

Axel's new collar, isn't it wonderfully gay? I love it! (fyi: my dog likes other male dogs a lot, which makes him gay, or at least bisexual)


Best Dog Event was fun, there were a lot of different things to watch and to participate in. There was a demo from a Japanese dogfrisbee team, gundogs, agility, flyball, obedience, cattledogs, etc. Axel attempted flyball, but wasn't at all interested in the tennisballs so that was an instant failure. The Jack Russelrace went a little better, lol. Those little JR's are nuts I swear!


The dog friends:

Axel, Baloe (or Floeboe) and Shayna. And human friends/colleagues Claudia (or Wauz) and Nancy.

It's hot! I'm almost dying out here. Axel rather enjoys the sun though as you can see on these pics:





I had a good weekend, nice and relaxed. Last week I did my Methods exam (only the first part, the second part will be in july), which usually is the cause for a lot of anxiety and stress, but this time I didn't break a sweat. Not that it went all that much better than usual, but it just felt less like the end of the world. That was nice for a change.

My internet is lame here in kampen so I'll check my friendspage tomorrow or tuesday. heartandcore, I checked for your skype message, but I couldn't find it. :S

I'm in a picture mood lately, if you're getting tired of this just let me know...

Here's one of my favorite model:
