We’re back!

It’s been quiet for a while on this blog, mostly caused by all kinds of renovations in my apartment.

After Newyear we started in the kitchen. I was so very happy when they told me that in a day everything would be arranged. You are of course willing to forget the weeks before the actual installation, when you have to demolish your old kitchen on your own. Consequence: dust flying around, falling down everywhere it can, lots of noise and pieces of kitchen everywhere (the hall and especially the balcony looked like a dumpster…). The morning Ikea came to install everything, they found out that the guy who came to check whether everything fitted into the little space we had, didn’t do such a good job… The kitchen on the map didn’t fit… That’s when it starts for real: you go back to get the good pieces, but they’re not in stock, so you have to wait three weeks, … One day became approximately two months…
I don’t want to complain about Ikea and their kitchens though, it’s really nice stuff, couldn’t have got it anywhere else for that price. Nevertheless I missed the guys from “Extreme Home Makeover” a lot!!

And after that I started working on our home office which needed redecorating. And then the sleeping room. And the balcony. And all sorts of closets. Once I start I find it difficult to stop apparently…

Either way, Wookie still lives with me and she’s doing fine. She’s a happy chappy, but she has grown up so very quickly! She’s starting to look like a real Schipperke. First of all her muzzle started to change: she used to have a little bear’s nose, but now a larger, longer dog’s muzzle grew there. Then she lost all her puppy-hair, making place for a harder top coat and a softer, fuzzier undercoat. She’s even developed a real Schipperke-collar! Her baby-teeth have gone too, but I didn’t mind that so much, because the small ones are really sharp! You should have seen my hands! Now she has bigger but more rounded teeth. I even found three of her baby-teeth that fell out whilst playing. Very cute…

See how big I got?!

You’ll read more about Wookie’s reaction on the change in her environment (she used to sleep in the kitchen) and her new looks in a short while!
