Hallo! My naam is Zandie! Ek is nou 3 maande oud. Ounooi-hulle het my ‘gered’, want my baas wou my uitsit – sommer net nou die dag!. Ek gaan elke dag van myself ‘n foto plaas – dis ‘n belofte! Ten minste een foto as ek nie tyd het om vir julle van my te skryf nie. Soms sal ek tyd hê vir bietjie meer, maar ek moet darem bietjie speel ook! Daarmee saam gaan jy lekker van my eskapades kan lees! Ek hoop jy gaan dit geniet! Woef-Woef!

English readers: Hello! My name is Zandie. I’m 3 months old in this top photo. I am a  rescue doggie, my previous owner wanted to put me down when I was only 3 months old  and on this first photo I was 3 months old! Can you believe it!!  He said I wasn’t a disciplined dog and ate everything! He also said he got tired of looking after me. Poor me!  I hope to have enough time to upload at least an image or two on my blog every month or so! Woof-Woof! Enjoy!

In hierdie animasie kan jy sien hoe ek gelyk het toe Ounooi-hulle my gekry het. Ek eet kos vir die eerste keer by hulle en ek was baie bang en hulle moes nie NABY my gekom het nie, ek wou hulle net hap! Gelukkig het Ounooi gaan luister na ‘Dog Whisperer’ en goeie raad gekry wat sy moes doen sodat ek haar nie byt as daar vir my kos gegee word nie. Daardie omie van ‘Dog whisperer’ is sommer baie slim!

English readers: In this animation, you can see what I looked like when ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’ got me for the first time. I was scared. You can see me for the first time with my food. I wanted to snap at them each time they wanted to come NEAR me! Luckily, ‘Mummy’ heard of ‘Dog Whisperer’ and she was clever to listen to him and to feed me my food from her hand, that helped me to get used to them and also, I actually realised that they didn’t want to have my food! I could relax and have it without thinking they were going to take it off from me! At the bottom photo, it’s me again, 2011! I’m such a smart doggie and clever! I can do everything.

Ek is nog steeds by hierdie familie en ek is nou ‘n groot honne, maar nog baie spelerig en aan die gang. Ek dink ek het darem al vergeet van die ‘nare ondervinding’ wat ek gehad het as ‘n baba-honne. Ek is nou ‘n gelukkige honne vol allerlei ‘dingetjies’ en geniet die lewe. So lyk ek nou, oppad om te gaan stap!

Ek is nog steeds ‘n gelukkige honne, ek is nog steeds almal se witbroodjie en wil graag maats met almal wees, maar ek hou nie van die omgewing se honnes nie. Hulle moet my net uitlos, Oubaas moet my altyd aan die leiband vashou wanneer ons stap en daardie honnes naby kom. Ek wil nie baklei nie, maar ek hou nie daarvan dat hulle so op my afstorm om my te beruik nie, ek wil liewer self op my tyd na hulle gaan, as ek dink dis ‘veilig’ en meeste van die tyd is hulle stupid honnes wat net op jou wil afspring en jou persoonlike spasie ‘invade’. Hulle moet darem hulle maniere ken.

I’m still a very happy doggie! Everybody wants to be my friend, but I don’t like other doggies that much, do to my experience with a ‘dumb’ sheep dog that lives at a Bed and Breakfast where ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’ took me when ‘Little Sis’ had to go and study at Uni. The dog just wanted to jump into my face straight away and I didn’t like it. My personal space was invaded and it didn’t have proper manners. 🙂 In this photo above, I’m on the road, on my way to for a little walk where we used to live. There’s some wide open spaces and I can run around like a really wild doggie!

2018

I’m still a very happy doggie, as you can see! I think I’m the queen in this household! Everybody treats me like a real queen and I think I’m going to have a really good time during my retirement days! I’m already less active and likes to have a long late morning sleep and likes to be less active during the evenings too. I usually like to go to bed at 8:30 pm and if I’m still awake by 10:00 pm, then you should see my sleepy eyes!

Me enjoying fish with my food!

This is Ruff, also one of my friends. Ruff’s dad has left me a message in the comments box – he is English, but he used Google Translate to leave me a message in Afrikaans. How sweet is he? Say hello to Ruff, 2 months old in this photo.
