Day 327 At the airport

Today Jennifer left the Czech Republic.
Diane in the tram, ready to walk out.
Diane accompanied her to the airport. She knows that place, because when she was young, she went with Jen to France for Christmas too. There was so much snow that their plane was cancelled and they had to wait in a long line to get a spot on a new plane. Diane had fallen asleep and all of a sudden was woken up by a huge growling german shepherd above her. It turned out it was a sniffer-dog, and was immediately recalled by the patrolling guards. The police went on to having a nice conversation, and Diane got to play with the sniffer-dog. Weeeee!
Article that was published in visionary about the trip
 But today was serious, Diane is now a working dog, and there is no time for fooling around.
Diane knows the way
 Last time Diane came to this airport, Diane was still a 6 months old fluffball baby. Now she's still a baby, just a bit more older one ;)

She was a bit excited to get to go on one of those flying buses, but then Jen said goodbye to Jan, and Diane was disappointed. Jen was disappointed too, she didn't get preferential treatment this time, as she is travelling without a guide dog :(

Day 326 The metronome

In Prague there is a big metronome. Jan, Diane and Jen went there because there is a nice park and a nice view. Well the view was so foggy that it wasn't so nice. The park was still nice and there was quite a few dogs for Diane to play with (except when she had her stick, then she was too busy to play)


Jen watched Jan do a bit of testing training with Diane. It's the same as usual training, but Diane can't cheat because Jen is there to warn Jan.

Good girl Dajan, you waited until also Jen wasn't looking
to do the mischief and thus weren't caught red-handed

Day 325 Last day before Winter holiday

It's my last day before Jen leaves for her Christmas holidays. Since it was my last day I was expecting something fun! Weeee....!!! But no. Jen has a test so she needs to spend her last day studying. Poor me!

At least we are going to the library to study there, a bit better than old boring home. And Jen said we'd have to stay a long time there, so first she took me to the park so I could burn off a bit of energy.

We met best friend Lily!
Picture of me mocking her with a stick, because she has a muzzle on and can't get it!
 Today was an accurate day for measuring the amount of fun I had, by how wet my fur was.
A LOT!
We managed to roll in the old dirty snow.
We went to school anyway, but Jen was a bit too ashamed of how dirty I was.
On the scale at school. I weigh 27 kilos!
In the elevator
So since I was so dirty, Jen didn't dare take me in the library. Instead, we studied on a table right next to the library!
Before studying (notice it's day)
After studying (notice it's night)

At the end I was so tired I fell asleep. We studied so many hours, by the time she had finished repeating everything, even I could have passed her test!
I deserve more park time pleaaaase!

Day 322 Christmas shopping

Diane slept over. She sleeps in the funniest positions.
Diane's zen yoga position, called "the Diane"
 Although it was cold, we went out. We needed to buy Christmas presents.
This is me hunting Diane in her most vulnerable position
(she is pooping)
 Jen and I looked at dog toys for Diane. It was tough deciding for one. It was hard to figure out which one she would destroy after the most amount of seconds. We got a piggy. Jen was betting 30 seconds. I bet less.
Diane, the toy killer
We also looked at trees. Somehow, Jen thinks it's horrible when I bring a bit of dirt into the house, but she thinks bringing a whole tree inside is great! Jan and Jen also looked at decorations for that tree! Humans are crazy!

Day 316 Winter is coming

A week ago the park was all leafy. Now it's all whity.
Diane and her shadow
In the park I like following whatever Diane is doing. I am like her shadow.
For me, it's because I am learning her ninja-ways. For her, she just says I am annoying.

Me, Diane's real  shadow, and Diane licking her lips
Diane eats a lot of snow. All the flavors. Diane told me the flavor names, but yellow and brown are more politically correct than what Diane said. Or at least naming colors doesn't make Jen as angry as if when we call them by taste.

Shadow's tummy is feeling a bit funny.
Shadow is gonna rest now...
