Dog kennels.
May 15th
Dogs as pets have never been so popular than ever! Thanks to many hollywood stars who paraded dogs, of all sizes, everywhere where the paparazzis are. But I must be honest, most of these hollywood have genuine love for their dogs, or so I feel. Just like ordinary people like you and me. Dogs do make a family complete, many say. Dogs give love to their masters under any circumstances, unconditional love. That’s why they also deserve to be treated with love, showered with it even. After all, unlike humans, dogs will remain faithful until the end of its life, that’s a sweet fact.
Because our dogs are considered part of the family, we take them wherever we go, if possible. Visiting other family members or on vacation, dogs are there. That is why it’s important to keep them safe during traveling. If you are bringing your dog to other places and hasn’t done this yet, I suggest you do. Place your dogs in travel kennel for their own safety. You buckle up your child when traveling, right? Responsible owners should do the same to their dogs. And I know just the e-store where you can get these , simply clikc this dog kennels for sale link and it will take you directly to a website where you can find different kennels for your dogs. If you’re looking for a kennel for inside your home, do browse the site thoroughly and you’ll surely find what you need.
Love your dogs, just the way you want to be loved in return. 
rise temperature…rise!

Look at that distorted face of Charlie! Pugs have generally (already) distorted faces and using fisheye lens on them makes it crazy!
I always have fun using Charlie as subject when my fisheye lens is mounted on my camera. I like capturing those big eyes, and yes even that distorted face. Fisheye lens is always fun to use especially on people and animals. Come to think of it, my pug needs a bath seriously! Well the weather is getting better, temperature is rising so he’ll soon get one.
This photo was taken yesterday after we took a walk. The weather was so nice! Unlike what we’re having today…the temperature has slightly risen and it’s raining outside too. Even Charlie didn’t want to stay outside because of the rain. He hates it when he gets wet.
I just can’t wait for the temperature to rise! I miss sunbathing in our backyard. I miss barbeque-ing outside. I just miss the sun, period. Though I wouldn’t mind NOT seeing ants and wasps they just give me the creeps, argh!
But it doesn’t matter, I can take that as long as I can enjoy the sun and do all things that I can only do when it’s shining 
Brown sugar and good doctor (042)

I was feeling a bit low but at the same time relieved after my visit to the doctor.
My back’s hurting again that I was losing sleep. Unlike when the past ‘ back attack’ I thought I can just wait for this one to be over, but no, I was mistaken. So together with my husband we headed out to our family doctor. Fortunately she was on duty but a new Chinese doctor was. Yeah I was glad it was him because to be honest, I do not approve of our family doctor’s way of dealing with patients. It’s like, you aren’t even done telling her your problems yet and she’s already writing Rx, anxious to show you to the door so that she can usher the next patient as fast as she could…but to be fair, she’ s not the only dutch doctor that does that.) This Chinese doctor took time to examine my back by actually feeling where the pain was ..and found out that my back is slightly crooked, misaligned. And has told me some other possibilities too that could be causing my pain. I was so glad with the short talk I had with him, and appreciated his explanations. (* We need more good ASIAN doctors in Holland, please!)
To make a long story short, I was given a strong painkiller (plus Rx so that my stomach lining is protected, I’ve a weak stomach for meds).
Anyhow I needed a bit spirit uplifting from this pain, so finding these stock of flower photos I took a couple of years ago did the trick. I guess the coming uploads will be flowers. To perk me up! And I hope you too, who sees them.

Last night, my husband and I ventured the cold temperature to go to the city for this years Christmas Market. Unfortunately we were left disappointed as our night started out with a very bad dinner in a Mediterranean grill restaurant with a turtle pacing service. For our starter we had to wait 45 minutes and when it finally came, I almost wept because it was pure garbage (I’m sorry, but this is a rant entry, have I warned you already?)
It says in the menu that for Euro11,00 (E1 =$1,66 as of this writing) you’ll get big gambas (shrimps) grilled in olive oil and special sauce. After 45 minutes it finally arrived , and on my dish, I got around 6 tiny pieces (different sizes) of shrimps in tomato sauce and a dab of olive oil. And I’ve also tasted soap in the sauce. Not a tiny squeek from me and my husband. Then another 45 minutes passed by, finally my mix-meat-grill in a skewer arrived and lo and behold, everything was raw! the tiny beef piece was bad smelling and bloody, a piece of pork was bloody (about 2 pieces of each) and loads of red onion pieces in between. This was for Euro 21,00.
My husband and I paid Euro50,00 for a horrible dinner ..already from this amount, my skewer was deducted when the waitress saw I hardly touched it, fortunately she was ashamed of what has happened and offered to deduct the price…hah! if that happened in the US I think she’d lose her head from the client’s bite! But since my husband is the calm type, never will complain…simply paid the waitress and even wished her a pleasant evening.
So can you imagine how expensive to have a lousy dinner in this part of the world.
the restaurant was masked from the outside..it has a lovely window that entices people walking pass it…but inside…
oh by the way, the market was empty
