Born some 7 weeks ago, our (my) new love:

Need there be words for something as sweet as him?!

Yes Folks, I'm still here... not much here on TV.com, but still around and keeping an eye on what's about.

Life has been weird but very kind to me.

After getting sacked and having found a cool job as 'vid editor' (in which I still haven't edited one single vid, guess the boss made the job sound way better than it has turned out so far....)

My hours got cut in half and I had no rights, due to some stuppid work construction.

Thankfully I had kept my eyes open for other jobs and that sure paid off: a parttime job (freelance based, but pretty steady!), ass/back-up art director at a Publishing House, dedicated to Maritime Life and all it's aspects. Had done some freelance work 3 years ago and that made a great entry. At least they don't promise what they can't bring. (< is that even English??)

So, now I'm extreme busy working 2 parttime jobs and a (pet) photoshoot every now and than.

Along with losing my job last year, our dogs clashed for no apparant reason. Big bloody fights and my setting them apart every time. Kid crying over all the fuss and loads of stress. It came to the point, after many talks with the breeder and behaviour therapist, we had to say goodbye to one of the dogs

This all took place around Xmas, and newyears day we finally said goodbye to our puppy (pic above) of 2,5 years. Thankfully we did find him a very good home: an ex college of my partner, who just lost their rott.

However the story doesn't just end there....

After all the fights, the goodbye saying, the older dog (see profile pic), started to behave in a way I hadn't seen for 4 years... I started to think things over... and confronted my partner. We took a test... and yes, there's another little life growing in the belly as we speak! It took an echo to determine the lenght of the pregnancy, but I allready knew, counted from the day the dogs had started fighting... It all matched up; than 11.4 wks pregnant!

Slowly we starting to prepare for the big rollercoaster.

Best part is maybe that 2 of my best friends, who had to struggle so much for the same result are now both aspecting!!

Leatest pet photoshoot were 4 cats, still having to finish the shoot for the client, but I'm in love with her biggest cat:

And I promised an icy pic last blog and though it's SPRING now... here it is, Holland never changes:

Take care and hopefully till soon!

Since Jesse told me off in the finest touch a man ever could tell me off .... I figured, that even with the horrible tv.com layout, I should tell you all THANKS!

Thanks for hanging round, thanks for having me brush up on my English (American?). Thanks for great entertainment. Thanks for new point of views. Thanks for posting pictures I enjoy. Thanks for making me notice certain music or tv series. And just thanks in General for sticking up with lil' old me

I miss you guys. I miss Emilia, Jesse, Jane, Elke, Claudette and some I may have forgotten right now. I wonder how you are, have been and will be doing. Sure own it to myself for not checking in enough. Am I too busy? No... nope, not at all. Beter things to do??? Sadly not. No excuses.

So without further bla bla, beter post some pictures hope you might like

Back in the days when the weather was still warm and our Rottie was still alive and our CC still a puppy:

Puppy grew up and is now a fine middle aged young grandpa (he has 13 grandchildren!):

He did grew up laughing at life!

Well wouldn't you, with pretty shepperd girls like this:

And I promised a picture for all, so here's my sisters cat specially for Emilia and Jesse and other cat lovers. BTW his name is COW!

And since I've had it for now (I'm impatience, waiting for pictures to upload is not my best trade...) I'm signing off, leaving you for a little less long than before. I'll be back and than I put up my winter fairytale photo's.

Love, take care!
