Pet-sitting

During the last week our neighbour has been on a holiday, so we have looked after her cat and her guinea pig and her cat. The dog was at her fathers place till yesterday, where it came home to her house, and we had promised to go for a long walk with him (his name i Toffee). the little guinea pig is SO sweet, and I love the little noises of calling for food. It amazes me, that she can eat two large carrots and lots of hay within a very short time - the carrots being much bigger than her little body. She really is cute and reminds me of my own two guinea pigs I had as a child :-)

Toffee is a golden retriever and the kindest dog-soul on earth. The girsl were crazy about walkning him in his line, and we had bought him some "dog-yummy" stuff for the trip. Taken into account that he was home alone, and we had never just walked into his house without his owner being there, I was a bit scared of his reactions. But he was happy and overwhelming joyfull, when he found out we were taking him for a walk. It´s just so thrilling to see the joy of a dog, being so grateful for a bite to eat and a walk in the territory. He lives close to a castle and a nice nature area, so it was a pleasure for all of us!

Aww, isn´t he just lovely? And so warm and faithfull :-))

Finally back home again with Toffe, the cat was waiting for its food. It´s such a strange cat, it doesn´t miaw like other cats, but gives out a sound like a grumpy "where have you been, where is my food, hurry up!" It´s absolutely adorable and with its own special catty-charm ;-)

Ufortunately, due to allergy, we can´t have furry friends inside the house, but do have three outdoor rabbits, that are very cute. But it was so special to "pet-sit" these animals, so we told our neighbour we would love to do it again another time. So quick to build a bond with these furry companions. And an endearment that will last forever ...

Summer holiday, last part..

Some of my best memories from childhood come from this little village in a part of Danmark called Mols (the bottom of the "nose" in Jutland). My grandmother lived here, and I used to spend part of my summerholidays with her. This summer I went for a daytrip with my own family to the village, and - believe it or not - the same atmosphere of peace and settlement still lives there, just like time has left the place alone and the wonderful nature too.

Isn´t it a beautiful view? The fields go right down to the ocean, and the sound of the wind in the fields - it´s so calming...

Cornflowers - like little fairies´ dresses :-)

Lavender, sharing its scent with us, and its awesome colour.

A "butterfly tree" so attractive to butterflies, many butterflies gather on each flower. The smell is very sweet.

I hope you, too, know of a special place, where peace and tranquility lives. Go to that place whenever you can. I believe that place, and what lives there, has an affair with you, as well as you have an affair with it. And if you haven´t found that place yet, I´ll happily share this place with you, so just let me know and I´ll send you the adress :-)
