Oh ! My Dare

Dumbbell !

2009-07-30T20:11:00.000-07:00

Walking at night at ease.

2009-07-30T20:04:00.000-07:00

We enjoy walking in the early morning and night time by the sea, Dare loves the sea breeze, usually comfortable but sometimes windy and no mosquitos there.

Hot summer seems to be killing her.

2009-07-30T19:56:00.000-07:00

Dare does not enjoy hot weather and rainy season neither however she is just waiting for autumn, summer comes earlier. It is just in order.

Precious time in the States.

2009-06-15T23:54:00.000-07:00

I went to the National Specialty, BIG SHOW in Portland , from end of April to beginning in May. It was first time to visit but I had nice time there, people I met were knid enough and beautifl Berners were respected all the time.They were well behaved with no stress , so calm during the event. It is very important for dog owners to keep them. This big show was held at the hotel, dogs were allowed to enter the room ! Owners has to obey the rules therefore we need some basic discipline at least to get along with people who does not love dogs in our social society.

Getting up early.

2009-04-18T21:47:00.000-07:00

As it is getting hot I have to get up early and going out for walking with Dare. There we can see the sea, found many small fish are there. maybe were born in early spring. I feel like taking !

Cherry blossoms is over and the leaves came out .

Cerry blossoms

2009-04-14T19:02:00.000-07:00

Spring has already come , excited to go and see many trees awake with fresh green leaves. It is time to see the cherry blossoms ! Looking up !I feel like I was covered with them, so beautiful .

Enjoy movie

Smiling at me

2009-02-10T03:43:00.000-08:00

I enjoy walking with Dare and have fun, also watching her play with her friend. They learn lots of things each other with playing. It is very important for them they learn how to bite without any pain. They stop doing immediately when they hear them yelping .

This was taken with her friend.

white carpet

2009-01-25T05:30:00.000-08:00

It's cold these days for me but doesn't for her. But she had thin white carpet this morning. She was running on the snow with her friends so fun! I feel cold but better than rain, that's for sure!

We seldom snow here unfortunately.

The loved one

2008-11-16T23:55:00.000-08:00

I have read the book titled The Loved One when I was a university student I forgot it's details but looking at Dare she reminds me that title. She has something to make me relax. Her character is so outgoing to the others anytime with no stress. Getting stress is social problems at the moment for us or dogs as well.She always keeps her mind calm .Nice temper is an important element to be with.

Cute girl !

2008-09-30T23:28:00.000-07:00

Dare meets many friends in the park everyday, she found a cute girl Lab puppy at two months old now.She was hold until she finished her vaccine . Dare is interested that puppy and must be feel like Mom . Yes, Dare is a cute girl, too. The owner of this puppy looks so happy but must be hard time with happiness and she has another Lab at eight yesrs old. It's so hard time for her to have her young sister like this. I remember when Dare's a little puppy , just arrved from Norway . Dare is growing so nicely with great temperament .

Looking at her from behind

2008-09-22T00:25:00.000-07:00

This is a picture that I took this morning and is my favorite. Dare is under unconscious with beautiful sky and I feel happy with it.

I can find a rabbit in the park, might be a lost one unfortunately. Everyone knows it and worry about not to be injured by a cat or crow.

Summer is over?

2008-09-06T19:14:00.000-07:00

It has been hot so far in day time, I hope we enjoy walking or doing nicely. Not only humid but also rain..awful. Recently we spend our time using air conditioning to have comfortable time not only some fan so using air conditioning makes our function of perspiration spoil so much. Some erectronic products might have spoiled our body function.

Dare went walking in rain,I hope she likes her coat.

What's that?

2008-07-26T23:02:00.000-07:00

Dare found a cicada(locust) on the tree, they sing loudly in the early morning and evening everyday and are irritated against their chorus. They came out of the ground in the early summer without wings, I've heard so.
Dare is learning how to swim she is not a good swimmer now but likes to soak herself in water in the park and then rolling and rolling on the grass.

At the vet.

2008-07-12T22:07:00.000-07:00

Long time no blog! It's complete summer and makes Dare severe. Dare came from Norway sounds cooler maybe. Hope to stay at summer house to spend.
She had conjunctivitis but now it's cured, last week I took in the vet and got checked her eyes. The vet said that what a big lady but calm and there's no injury on her eyes, No problem at the vet!

I met a dachshund there he hates to get checked so it seems hard for the vet to check him..ooh,awful.

Waterfall in the park makes us little bit cooler to hear the stream, must be pool for her soon.

Beautiful day

2008-06-07T19:46:00.000-07:00

The rainy season has come at last, it depends on the year I don't know how often we have rainy days. I'm certain it is good to rain for us, reently I watch the news titled" Be careful , food and water crisis in the world". They say lots of children are dead of hunger, what a sad thing. Nevertheless I've never seen skinny or lanky dogs around me, most of them are fat of over calories with rich food.
Dare is good eating I have to control her weight, overweight is not good for everyone.Most of my friends try to go on a diet and I can find lots of diet goods or supliments and exercise machines.Walking is the best way to lose weight and it's free.

We had so beautiful day, how comfortable breeze in the air. One woman with a big camera came to us and asked me if she takes Dare's picture through her good quality single-lens reflex. Wow, how nice to be taken , Dare might be a super dog model!
I should have ask her to send me her nice photos.

When do I pick them ..looks too young.

Olive !

2008-05-29T01:32:00.000-07:00

I found many olive trees with little white flowers in the park when I walk with Dare in the morning , how cute ! But actually it reminds me Italian food,I prefer Italian better than French. Anyway it's sounds great to me !

Dare learned " stay " for awhile so it helps me to take her picture , I said to Dare " Why don't you join the training contest " but she said nothing of course. She's smart enough.

In my country we have rainy season in June actually , almost green and living include us needs water but it also is troublesome for dogowner . And don't forget natural disaster like typhoon, lately there was an awful disaster in Asia , what a sad thing.I have to think over that I'm happy and live comfortably.

Enjoy May !

2008-05-11T22:35:00.000-07:00

Do you think May is the best for you in a year? Not too hot not too cold almost people have some fun outside.There are many pretty flowers or fresh green leaves also but I've heard we have much
ultraviolet rays in May it's the strongest in a year ! It reminds me ozone depletion these days.

I found the plum tree in the neighborhood, small but sweet plum ! How cute they are! We enjoy it's blossom and then fruits as well.

Dare is so fine with comfortable breeze but she hides herself under the tree protect from strong sunshine in daytime she must be hope to have no more hot days.

Old but new

2008-05-02T06:20:00.000-07:00

I visited old castle and museum , actually I lost my words looking at it and I don't know how I explain about it anyway the way of skill or architecture made me taciturn.

Dare and I usually walk in the morning and night everyday , in the morning we met some cats there, wild cats I think, some people bring their food . the sign in the park said they have had contraception I don't know it's true or not but recently it's a social problem in the city as well as pigeon or crow.

Almost flowers wake up !

2008-04-19T21:09:00.000-07:00

We have many flowers so pretty with fresh green. Every seasons has it's own beauty and colorful flowers makes me happy or fresh green leaves makes me relax , when I 'm walikng with Dare in the forest all the trees and leaves indicate the dignified existance. Nature show us ..many faces.

Rainy season?

2008-04-14T03:00:00.000-07:00

Actually we have much rain these days so cherry trees almost finished and their leaves came out and also we dog owners think uncomfortable about wheather like that, especially big dog owners think it terrible anyway we go walk a dog every day but it's fun .We can have very beautiful landscape like this .

Therapy Dog

2008-04-14T02:25:00.000-07:00

I met a Bernese Mountain Dog named Morgus , he's a therapy dog . He belongs to the volunteer group consists of young people and usually visit a home for elderly people. Bernese is a one of the breed to suit for the handicapped person or elderly people because they are very friendly and calm , though we need to train them or basic discipline also. On that day a couple of young guys had a kind of activity with them to let the people know about therapy dog . It is so great to visit someone who needs some help or contact with them , they can relax or be released from a kind of stress . Animal can do it and they feel good themselves, it's a mysterious but can not be proved .

The Cherry Blossoms

2008-04-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

At last we had cherry bolssoms here and there, beautiful season. It has been a week or so unfortunately people gathered around the park and take photos, sitting under the tree to have lunch or drink,some people come to have dinner with friends , actually it is hard to get a proper place to have nice location so they come to the place where they have a party very early. We can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night with light depends on the place, it's very gorgeous,

visionary and mysterious.

patted

2008-04-01T20:07:00.000-07:00

When I was walking with Dare in the morning , a woman with blond hair patted her and hugged gently . I wonder whether it reminds her the days she was a puppy, anyway her attitude made us so happy like this.

So recently we enjoy spring with warm air , cherry blossoms as we walk outside and makes me drop by somewhere with Dare. But don't forget from now on .. protect from flea or tick and filaria !

One day she drove a cat out of shrubbery to a tree suddenly so a cat stayed up the tree for awhile as she was sitting down there..Find a cat that I took a picture though it was like a black mass.

Play,play,play

2008-03-25T22:43:00.000-07:00

This is the Weimaraner (almost 6months old,male) who plays with her in the morning, his personality is friendly as same as Dare and smart,quick . They had very good time each other. His owner told me that he has had discipline for the puppy dept. but he is a big enough so other puppies scary, anyway he is one of her friend.

Dare has fun with him everymorning, when she find him walking she dashes for him to play.

Last night she got played with three German Shephered Dogs !!! All of them are male, one of them is white , beautiful shape he has .Dare and three guys were running so speedy.Hope to try to take picture next time.Their owners were touched by Dare because she is so calm and friendly but quick.

Spring has come

2008-03-20T23:04:00.000-07:00

Dare and I enjoy walking by the sea in the morning , meets some friends with dogs and they're running arround , we find some flowers and trees grow against cold weather but now spring has come these days.

Dare is very calm and friendly to others , sometimes she is active when she meets her puppy friend. I try to take a picture when they're running together though it seems to be hard for me because they run here and there so quicly like an electric toys.

Well, I found the plum blossoms are out so beautiful !

Dare

2008-03-11T01:17:00.000-07:00

I'm a dog lover since I was a little child, still I enjoy my life with Dare , she is one and three months old now in this month and it has been almost one year since I have met her in Norway where she was born. I visited the kennel where she was born , it's first time to visit there but I had an awful happening when I got there...lost baggage! I put something important in it for the breeder as some gifts but it was gone , oh my God ! Where is my suitcase ? It was beginning of the trip however her breeder helped and so kind to us with getting ahold the staff of the airport, finally my suitcase came back next day .Anyway that was the first met Dare .
