Nothing is safe anymore...

oooops! why do they always ignore the toys and want something they cant have!

No, not at all! I bought in Ikea a rat, made from fleece. He loves him, namely he loves its tail :)) I think these dogs were originally breeded for catching rats... :)

oh thats good then!

Thanks God, he is sleeping now ;-)

dear little thing! has he learned his name now do you
think? or maybe your tone of voice?

I think he reacts more to Chuck then to Norris :)) It is more resonant..

sometimes a two syllable word is easier to call over a distance though?

I am sorry Sticki, would like to chat with you, but must switch off the lamp now, as one eye is watching me...lol....to prevent disaster. Good night :)

enjoy your new friend kat!

Gorgeous puppy x

I like his ears :)

Yeah, he looks little bit like a batman :))

He's really lovely..and, very cheeky, I imagine!!!!

Paul@:)) He is "innocent trouble maker", lol.

Yes, I know the look of innocence on their faces! As if they weren't capable of such mischief!!

They are innocent, they are like human babies.

hmmm babies and puppies dont stay innocent for long!

Do you think so.

i know so! i worked with children for a long time!

Oh yes, people change, but dogs stay loyal all their life, no wonder how bad is their master.

He's such a darling katarina, i want to kiss him :) I miss having a dog..

i agree about the loyalty!

Batman :) he does....LOL

Youngdaisyd@he is very cute little chap :))

I want to give him a big hug. He's lovely Katarina.

Thank you, Lindak :) My mother is afraid he would be a gangster :)

no he wont be ~ you will bring him up to be a gentleman!

You know how it is in life, Sticki. For one gangster, for one loving head of the family :))

I have never watched that film!

No? That was a greatest gangster film I ever saw. Unfortunately, Americans are not able to make a good gangster films anymore. I think French are better in this sort of films now.

Probably just not my sort of film?

I do not like modern gangster films, full of blood, car races and simple dialogues. But this was a FILM, perfect dialogues and very well copied behaviour of big bosses. Worth to see it, it has some eternal truths in it.
By the way, when I was in Sicily, in the hotel where I was accommodated, there played each evening a guy, who in winter works in Teatro Massimo di Palermo, where the famous last scene of The Godfather III was made.

also great music in the second, i like it very much

this is the symphony hall ~ the nearest concert venue to me:

That sounds like very ingenious architectonic project, Sticki. I liked how they solved noise from the train line...I like projects like this. Did you ever hear about the Church of St Barbara in the Czech republic? It is built on a bubble...

the symphony hall is modern yet beautiful, i love it!

St Barbara's church also looks very beautiful, built on a bubble?

Have you ever read 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pillars_of_the_Earth

I found it fascinating ~ the author was interested in why and how they built the early cathedrals and he has spun a story around it.

No, I have never read it, but I remember that my teacher of English in 1993 was reading it.
The St Barbara´s Church had been built for centuries. And because the town was famous in Europe for the silver of the highest quality and the town lived from mines, they exploited resources whenever they found the silver. So far the land under the Church was soon digged out and undermined, and the church remained standing on a very thin layer of rocks under which were empty mines. Pillars started to crack, so enginneers in 20th century had to made beton injections below the church.

I noticed the bit about the mining, there are houses here that are built near mines ~ not very safe! But sometimes you dont get told all that you should be when you buy a house.

Oh yes. After 1989 arrived to Czechoslovakia a Canadian businessman. He bought "lands", which were in fact large rubbish dumps. He let covered them with thin layer of soil and sold them later for horrible prices to nouveau rich.
Because I worked for ecological movement in eighties, I know that all sorts of toxic waste were dumped there. Now they have villas there, large gardens. Ticking bombs.

that is horrendous! and no doubt the crook has managed to escape or cover himself against complaints

Some of those who own villas over there are maybe similar crooks, doing bad thngs to others thus making lot of money, too. It is not my matter to judge them, however, it makes me think of an old true - "your past will sooner or later reach you".

You have a 'strong sense of justice' kat! As I do!

Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked...? :)

Interesting saying, never heard that before. Must remember it.

This little 'gangster' will be fine as long as you're the boss and teach him to be a good and obedient fella Michaella.

:))
He will be OK. He learns very quickly.

Years ago we trained father in laws little puppy and it's amazing how quickly they can learn too Katarina. I can remember the sore hands from the puppies little teeth too.......

This one doesn´t bite me so much. He is even very gentle, when I sometimes take him up to my bed in the morning from his basket, he interposes his head between my chin and neck and stays like that without movement. He bites only when we both got crazy during games. He is little highbrow.

How sweet is that Katarina.

Ah so cute Kat :o))
