The chihuahua raised by two cats
If there is one thing that makes me smile, it is my dog. Any dog, really: I can’t pass a dog on the street without smiling. But my own dog, well, he is a special little guy. My cats get along with him, even if they did not agree to needing an extension of our family. And for such a small dog, our little Chi is a giant addition to our pack.

London, Berlin, Dublin, Maastricht – we’ve been to several nice cities. And now that we are in no way able to go out, I want to reminisce about the times we did go out over the past 5 or 6 years. Ready to come with us?

The cat who needed cats
After we adopted our first cat, Em, we assumed we would stay a single-cat family. After all, Em had been classified by the animal shelter as a loner cat: she did not get along with other cats. But she changed when she started to trust us. Or rather: when she started to trust me, because she was already devoted to my guy. She enjoyed her life with us, but I felt like she was, well: lonely. We took a chance and decided to find her a friend. Continue reading “The cat who needed cats”
What Brexit means for us
We, the humans in the household, met years ago through the power of the internet. It took us a couple of years to work out who would be moving where, because we were fed up with the long distance relationship thing. You see, I’m Dutch and he … well, he is British. He chose to move to The Netherlands for me. And though we have no problem, Brexit is pushing us to do something we never needed to think about.

Taking the Dog to Cologne, Germany
We have two cats and a dog, as you know. And like most cats, ours are happy to stay in and around the house. But our chihuahua is different: he is an adventurous spirit! He loved to travel and go to new places. So when we decided we needed some time away from work, the house, everything, we knew we had to take Chi along with us. Off to Cologne, a city in Germany!

Designs in progress: Dragons and elves
We have been playing a lot of games again lately. And one of our new, or rekindled, passions is Dungeons and Dragons. That is why my next update in the shop will probably be related to fantasy, dragons, elves and so on.

How to plan your day well
Planning my day in the morning always gives me a good feeling about the time I have available. How to plan your day is something I was taught in school, believe it or not. Or at least: I learned how to plan my way through lessons and homework, even if it was not a subject I had to study for. Actually, side note: they totally should teach planning in secondary school at least. Learning how to spend your time and how to study, is a skill will help you. And I would not be writing this article if I didn’t have some ideas for you on how to make the most of your day. By planning well!
