Happy Newyear !

Wookie and I would like to wish you all a very happy 2010!

Although we’re rather young and we like a good party now and then, we opted to stay at home this year. It’s the consequence of having a young puppy at home. We had a little party at home, with good food, good wine and a great view at the fireworks outside.

The reason I wanted to stay at home, was that I thought that Wookie might be afraid of the sound the fireworks made. My previous dog became very impatient when it heard loud noises, like thunder or pops like those at new year’s eve. We were never at ease that night, because Goofy would get very scared and try to hide anywhere from the sounds.

But luckily, Wookie couldn’t care less. All over Antwerp fireworks could be seen and heard, but she just played all night. When they started shooting arrows, she was actually sleeping. After the third arrow she opened one eye, and when we walked out to take a look on the balcony she followed us for a moment. But it seemed a bit too cold so she just went in again and played with her toys inside.

The breeders tried to get them used to loud noises, by firing a gun somewhere outside to see the pup’s reactions. They used to look up, but when they noticed their parents being at ease, they didn’t really make much of it. That’s probably why Antwerp’s fireworks didn’t really impress her much.

We did actually like it very much – my apartment is on the thirteenth floor, so I did have a pretty nice view!

It snowed on the third day in the new year, and since yesterday was my last day of vacation, we decided to take a walk with her. And although it was very cold, Wookie liked it very much! She even liked her walk better than a few days ago, when the park was all smudgy and muddy. She sniffed around, and liked it a lot!

Wookie really looks adorable in the snow, doesn’t she?

When we got home, she decided to take a nap to get warm again. I dried her paws, they felt very cold, but she didn’t seem to care on the walk.

I started working again now, so hopefully she won’t forget about me while I’m at work…
