Fra alle .... / From all .....

Fra alle os til alle jer:

From all of us to all of you:

I dag er det vores tur til at få lækker julemad.

Today it's our turn to have a fab Christmas dinner.

En grens endeligt / A branch's final

Som I alle ved er jeg den stolte ejer af en megastor gren som jeg virkelig elsker. Nu har jeg noget rigtigt trist at fortælle.

Den store gren eksisterer ikke mere!!!

As you all know, I am the proud owner of a huge branch which I really love. Now I have a sad thing to tell you.

The huge branch doesn't exist any more!!!

Mor hvad har du gjort med min gren???
Mom, what have you done with my branch???

Så fin og fantastisk var den engang!
This is how fantastic it was once!

Grenen er blevet tyndere og tyndere. Mor siger at det er mig der har gjort det bare fordi jeg har bidt trævler af den. Hmm, mon dog?

The branch has become thinner and thinner. Mom told me, that I did this, because I have bitten it into small pieces. Hmm, I don't think so!

De sørgelige rester. Jeg tror at det er en bæver der har gjort det.
The pitiful remains. I think it is a beaver who have done it.

Men fortvivl ikke, der er lys forude.

But don't worry there is light ahead.

Må jeg ikke nok tage denne gren med hjem? Please, please, please!!!!
Can I take this branch home? Please, please, please!!!

Måske jeg får en ny i julegave :)

Maybe I'll get a new one for Christmas :)

Den kloge kok.... / The wise chef....

I dag læste mor i avisen, at en stjernekok fra Sverige kan få en cheeseburger fra McD til at forvandle sig til en smagsrevolution!!! Han sagde: "Prøv at spise cheesburgeren på hovedet næste gang".

Selvfølgelig tænkte mor: "Det må jeg prøve".

Today mom read in the newspaper that a celebrity chef from Sweden can get a cheeseburger from McD to transform into a taste revolution !!! He said: "Try to eat the cheesburger upside down next time."

Of course mom thought: "This I'll try".

Jeg må prøve den smagsrevolution!!!
I'll have to try the taste revolution!!!

Hmm, den smager nøjagtig ens!
Hmm, it taste exactly the same to me!

Selvfølgelig mente stjernekokken at det var burgeren man skulle vende på hovedet. For som han sagde: "Så kommer den indlagte agurk i direkte kontakt med tungen".

Hmm.... jeg vil nu mene at der er kødet der er værd at gå efter!

Of course the celebrity chef meant it was the burger you had to turn upside down. As he said: "Then the inserted cucumber comes in direct contact with your tongue".

Hmm .... I think that it is meat, that is worth going for!

Mors lille hjælper... / Mom's little helper...

Vaks har været så flittig i dag. Det er ikke altid at han synes at mor gør tingene godt nok. F.eks. at rede sengen.

Vaks has been so industrious today. It is not always he thinks that mom does things right. Eg. when she makes the bed.

Jow jow det er da fint nok.
Yep this is okay.

Vaks: Er du sikker på at du er tilfreds med sengene? Laika: Jeg er tilfreds for jeg ligger på fars hovedpude.
Vaks: Are you sure I should not help you?  Laika: I am happy because I'm lying on dad's pillow.

Vaks: Jeg ordner lige det her tæppe, mor.
Vaks: I'm just gonna fix this blanket mom.

Vaks: Såådan. Det er bedre....men alligevel ikke helt godt endnu!!! Det må kunne gøres bedre.
Vaks: Yes. This is better .... but still not quite good!!! There must be a better way.

Vaks: Sådan. Nu har jeg redt sengen som den skal være. Det er godt at du har mig mor.
Vaks: Thaaat's right. Now I have made the bed as I want it to be. Lucky you to have me.

En ½ time senere:

Half a hour later:

Vaks: Hva' f***** nu igen?
Vaks: What the f*** again?

Vaks: Man må da også ordne alting selv.
Vaks: One has to take care of everything yourself.

Forstår jeres mennesker heller ikke at rede senge???

Dont' your peeps neither know how to make the beds???

Vi glæder os.... / We are looking forward....

Vi glæder os i denne Tid; 
nu falder Julesneen hvid, 
og så må Julen komme! 
Vores Far hver dag i byen går, 
og når han kommer hjem, vi begge står 
og snuser til hans store lomme.

Mors omskrevne vers fra Peters Jul.

We are looking forward to this time;
now the Christmas snow is falling down,
soon the Christmas must be here!
Our Dad every day to the city go,
and when he comes home, we really know
the Christmas gifts are near!

Mom own verse from a book, called Peter's Christmas.

Hvad nu mor??? Sidder vores hår ordentligt??? Kommer det til at gøre ondt???
What now, Mom??? Do our hair sit properly??? Is this going to hurt???

Åh vi får måske en godbid bagefter, mums og savle!
Oh, we might get a treat afterwards, yummy and drool!

Nogen gange synes jeg at det utroligt hvad vi to stakler må gøre for at min mor bliver glad, men vi gør det med glæde (for en godbid).

Sometimes I find it unbelievable what we two poor creatures have to do to make my mom happy, but we do it with pleasure (for a treat).

Den første sne i år / This year's first snow

Så kom den første sne. Puha,  heldigvis nåede vi lige at holde fars fødselsdag inden al sneen kom. Ja nu er det jo ikke lige her der er kommet meget, men lidt har vi da fået.

We got the first snow this year, today. Phew, we manage to have dad's birthday party before all the snow. Now we didn't get a lot of snow right here, just a little.

Kalder du det sne, mor???
Is this what you calls snow, mom???

Hvor er alt den sne alle taler om???
Where is all the snow everybody talks about???

Her er det hunde... kun ca. 30 km fra os.
Here it is doggies... about 30 kilometers from where we live.

Ja de har da fået nok.
Yes indeed, they got a lot.

Mor er glad for at vi foreløbig er sluppet for sneen.

Mother is pleased that we so far haven't got all that snow.

Intet at se og dog.... / Nothing to see and yet....

Vi sad i vores yndlingssofa og kiggede ud ad vinduet, mig og Vaks.

We sat on our favorite couch and looked out the window, me and Vaks.

Er der noget? Er det sten? Eller hvad???
Are there something there? Is it a stone? Or what???

Nej, det er en flok Canadiske Gæs der har slået sig ned på naboens mark.
No, it's a bunch of Canadian Geese who have settled in the neighbor's field.

Lad os dog komme ud og hilse på dem mor. Vi lover at vi ikke æder dem....siger vi med vores poter krydsede.

Let us get out and greet them, mom. We promise we won't eat them .... we say with our paws crossed.

Ønskedrøm / Wish dream

Har I aldrig oplevet at ønske noget, sådan lidt rigtig meget? Det har min mor og hvis jeg tænker rigtig over det, tror jeg at denne drøm er perfekt for mig. Hun så denne smarte seng på internettet og tænkte: "wauw, hvor smart".

Have you ever experienced to wish for something a little lot? So has my mom, and if I really think about it, I think this dream is perfect for me too. She saw this smart bed on the internet and thought: "wow, how smart is this".

Hmm...sikken et fint skab!
Hmm...what a nice cabinet!

Wow, hvad sker der???
Wow, what is happening???

Det er det her der skete. En supersmart seng til mig.
This is what happened. A supersmart bed for me.

Nu ved jeg hvad jeg ønsker mig til jul, mor.

Now I know what I want for Christmas, mom.

Hjemme igen / Home again

Som I nok læste tidligere har mor og far været på Malta. De siger at de har haft en fantastisk dejlig ferie med sol og varme og en enkelt dag med regn. Malta er en meget spændende ø med nogle fantastiske bygninger.

As you may read previously mom and dad have been in Malta. They say they have had a fantastic wonderful holiday with sunshine and heat and only one day with rain. Malta is a very interesting island with some amazing buildings.

De boede i et feriecenter hvor de havde deres eget hus, med gårdhave og tagterasse.
They lived in a holiday resort where they had their own house, with patio and roof terrace

Udsigten fra deres tagterasse mod vest.
The view from their rooftop terrace to the west.

Udsigten mod øst.
The view to the east.

Og mod syd.
And to the south.

Selvfølgelig var der også en stor svømmepøl, en masse katte og nogle skildpadder. Vi er misundelige!!!

Of course there  also was a large swimming pool, a lot of cats and some turtles. We want to be there too!!!

Poolen, skildpadde og kat.
The pool, a turtle and a kat.

Ej altså mor, var det nødvendigt at tage et billede at en kat der var ligeså stor som naboens frække køtere??
Really mom, did you have to take a picture of a cat which was as big as the neighbor's naughty mongrels??

Og stranden... Jeg vil også svømme!!!
And the beach...I want to swim !!!

Og imens mor og far rigtig hyggede sig på ferien, blev vi passet hos #søster2. Det var nu okay for vi fik dejlige lange traveture og kunne lege med vores bedste sultne ven Benn.

And while mom and dad really had a good time on vacation, we were looked after by # søster2. It was okay because we had nice long walks and were able to play with our best hungry friend, Benn.

Vi måtte sove i vores egen seng....hrmfff.
We had to sleep in our own bed....hrmfff.

Bortset fra at Vaks ikke kunne sove, hvis ikke han blev puttet i et tæppe.
Only Vaks could not sleep unless he was wrapped in a blanket.

Nu håber jeg bare at det varer rigtig længe før de rejser igen uden at tage os med.

Now I hope, it will last a long time before they will travel again without bringing us.

Topmoderne / Ultra modern

Vi har i mange år haft en lampe stående i vores havestue. Far har tit talt om at den skulle ind i stuen, men....nej, sagde mor. Lige indtil i går, hvor hun sad og kiggede på lamper på internettet.

Der så hun den fineste lampe til flere tusinde kr.....nøjagtig magen til den vi har stående i havestuen.

Det kan nok være at den lampe blev slæbt ind i stuen. Jeg må da også lige nævne at hun i sine sidste boligblade havde set mange billeder hvor der også var sådan en lampe.

Det viser så bare, at hvis man venter længe nok bliver tingene moderne igen.

We have, for many years, had a lamp in our sun room. Dad has often talked about we should have it in the living room in stead, but .... no, Mom said. until yesterday, where she surfed at lamps on the Internet.

There she saw the finest lamp to several thousand danish kr ..... exactly similar to the one we have  in the sun room.

You can bet that lamp was dragged into the living room. I have to mention that in her last interior design magazines she had seen many pictures showing such a lamp.

It indicates, if you wait long enough things become modern again.

Den buede lampe.
The lamp in front of the picture.

Og far ....... han forstod ingenting.

And dad ........ he didn't understand notthing.

Jeg undrede mig / I wondered...

Jeg har længe undret mig over hvad vi skulle bruge Vaks til. Jeg bilder mig selv ind, at jeg skulle bruges til at være vagthund og til at gå en tur med mor og far. Men Vaks ... skulle han kun bruges til at gå en tur med mor og far??? Det kan da ikke være rigtigt at jeg skal gøre alt arbejdet.
I går fandt jeg så ud af, hvad vi skulle bruge Vaks til.

Han fangede en mus. Den var smuttet ind i vores køkken. Mor skreg og far sagde "ta' den Vaks". Og han gjorde det. Fangede og bed den ihjel. Bagefter bar han den ud i haven hvor han brugte meget tid på at studere den.
Hvad jeg gjorde? Ingenting. Faktisk  var jeg helt ligeglad. Jeg kunne da ikke drømme om at tage ikke sådan nogle skadedyr i min mund. Man er vel en pige.

I wondered why we needed Vaks. I imagine  I have to be the security dog and take mom and dad for a walk. But Vaks ... could it be true he only had to take mom and dad for a walk occasionally??? It can't be right I have to do all the work!
But yesterday, I found out what Vaks was needed for.

He caught a mouse which had slipped into our kitchen. Mom screamed and dad said "get it Vaks". And he did get it. He Caught and bit him to death. Afterwards, he carried it out into the garden where he spent much time studying it. 
What I did? Nothing. In fact I I didn't care at all. I don't take such pests in my mouth. I surely am a girl.

Vagthunden holder øje med alting.
Homeland security keeps an eye at things.

Vaks med musen. Rystede, rystede og rystede musen.
Vaks with the mouse. Shook, shook and shook the mouse.

Mor syntes at vi er meget dygtige til vores arbejde. Vi fik ovenikøbet godbidder.
Mom think we are good at our jobs. Yep we even got some treats.

Det var vist godt at jeg godkendte Vaks, dengang vi skulle have ham.

I believe it was a good thing I approved Vaks, when we went to get him.

Turist i København / Tourist in Copenhagen.

Mor og far var på tur til København forleden dag. Imens far deltog i et møde sammen med en masse andre mænd, var mor på sight-seeing med alle de andre koner til mændene. De var på Kanal Rundfart og det var rigtigt spændende. Det var et fantastisk sensommervejr så det var dejligt. (Selv om vi ikke var med. Mor sagde at det ikke var for hunde). Hun tog dog en masse billeder.


 Mom and Dad were on a trip to Copenhagen the other day. Meanwhile dad attended a meeting with a lot of other men, was mom of to sight-seeing with all the other wives. They were at a canal boat tour and it was really exciting. It was a great late summer weather so it was nice. (Although we were not with them. Mom said it was not for dogs). She shot a lot of photos though.

Her er Christiansborg,  Mindeankeret i Nyhavn, Nyhavn og Holmens Kanal.

From the top: Christiansborg (with our parlement), The Anchor (The anchor is set in memory of 1,600 sailors who lost their lives in World War 2), Nyhavn and Holmen Canal.

Vores berømte Lille Havfrue. Den er god nok. Tag brillerne på, hun sidder på stenen :-)

Our famous The Little Mermaid. She is there, grab your glasses, she is sitting on the rock :-)

Og marmorkirken nederst til venstre.

And The Marble Church down to the left.

Fra toppen til venstre: Kanalbåden de sejlede i, skulpturer lavet i forbindelse med kulturby 96 af kunsnere der var flygtninge, Vor Frelser Kirkes tårn og det kongelige bibliotek "Den Sorte Diamant".

From the top left: Canal boat they were sailing in, sculptures made by refugees when Copenhagen was the city of culture i 1996, Our Savior Church tower and the Royal Library "The Black Diamond".

Wow Vaks og jeg gad godt at have været med på den tur, men mor sagde at det ikke var for hunde. Jeg tror at hun fik dårlig samvittighed siden hun tog alle de billeder til os.

Wow, Vaks and I wish we had been on that trip, but mom said it was not for dogs. I think she got a bad conscience since she photographed all the images for us.

Slap af søndag / Relax Sunday

I går hjalp vi mor og far med at hente campingvognen hjem. De siger det er efterår nu, så de synes at det er for vådt og koldt til at campere. Hmm, jeg ved nu ikke rigtigt. Det har nok noget at gøre med at de ikke har pels på ligesom mig.

Yesterday we helped mom and dad to bring the caravan home. They say it is fall now and it is too cold and wet to to go camping. Hmmm, I really don't know. It is probably because they havn't got any fur like me.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Kom så Vaks og mor. Morgenmaden er færdig.

Come on Vaks and mom. The breakfast is ready.

Virkelig ...... gaaab.
Really ......... yaaawn.

Mor og Vaks synes det er hårdt at stå op til et veldækket morgenbord.

Mom and Vaks think it's tough getting up to a well provided breakfast table.
