It is May 17, 2010

Hanna is in love with the photograher

I truly hope you are happy for me that I got the status of BOM instead of BIS or BOS like you could read in the previous Blog-edition - <BIS, BOS and BOM> -.
"Best Of Mommy", I got! See on the left my pretty face. 
 After the NCCC (Dutch Chow Chow Club) ClubMatch on April 25, 2010 (see NetChows :: ShowNews), I think an update on me is needed since several things happened the last 2 - 3 weeks.
Together with my father Shadow I went to our special "Chow" veterinarian for the yearly check-up and vaccination. Everything was fine. The bad thing is that Peter forgot his camera since he was aiming to shoot pictures during the check-up. Hopefully next time he is more alert.  There are not so many pictures around from a Chow visiting a veterinarian. While sitting in the waiting room I felt weird and wanted outside for a little business. Finally I could convince Peter since I started making that special 'soprano' sound which can cause breaking glass…..
Outside it was much better and I could watch the various pets which enter the clinic. No Chows......
When it was our turn and when I saw Nico, the vet, in the consultation room,  I wagged my tail. He stroked me over my head and said; "Hanna, you are a brave, beautiful girl!"

A special moment with Kiang, Hanna and Helma, during Helma's Birthday

Let's put it straight and look to the right picture and see how cute Helma, my cousin Kiang and, of course, me are!
That picture was taken during Helma's birthday party. I'm her "BOM"! See how happy we all look. In the image gallery more pictures on this event can be found.
The other day I got a very kind e-mail from my aunty Christina in Vienna. As you all should know Christina is THE Christina and the one and only who set up and is maintaining NetChows!!!  She is known to the family many years now and they regulary meet. Did you notice that NetChows.com recently got innovated by her? She is there with the good old Poika. Poika is Peter's Schnitzel friend. Christina is also the one having developed the ChowChow.at portal and that is the place where my Blog is published.

This is what she wrote:
 
Dear Hanna,

Hanna and her beautiful eye look. The picture chosen by aunty Christina for the footer in BlueTongueTalk

 I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog on ChowChow.at! It

has become a true highlight of the site and is always impatiently awaited.

I write today with a small request in mind: would you kindly grant

permission for your photo to be used on Blue Tongue Talk, the

international Chow Forum on NetChows? With your good Chow nose you would

be ideally suited for showing visitors the next good trail ... giving

them tips for further surfing at the bottom of each page.

Now I let you get back to your daily duties with your two- and four

legged family and I look forward to the next episode of Hanna's Blog!

Chow-Hugs,

Aunty Christina

Xiong is happy with her new bed

You all sure agree with me that such a cute and 'right from the heart' e-mail from my special aunty cannot be ignored.

Kiang on his special rug; An Oriental rug. See Shadow also napping

Last time it was an e-mail from Eoos, the Chow Chow, and now from my aunty. Maybe I should ask aunty and Peter to start Hanna's Fan Club.

Anyway, see the picture right above and see also the footer on the BlueTongueTalk forum. Whooow......feeling a BOA now.....; Best Of Aunty!

Now there is something else and that is something making me feel a bit slighted. Look on the right and see Xiong on her new bed!!!

I still remember the NCCC ClubMatch where you could buy such special beds. So Helma and Peter did! Are we talking here about equal rights?

Now look further and see my cousin Kiang. He is napping on an expensive Oriental rug for his own. Can you believe that. Do you recognize in that picture also my father?
So what about me, while I'm the one bringing some goodies around in the world of Chow Chows?
It is not fair at all. What do Xiong and Kiang have what I don't?
Hmmm, whatever....
At least I'm BOM.....Helma's BOM! See in the image gallery about 'us'.
Do I sound weird? Do I sound jealous? No, I sound fair and honest and it is not to me to say; "I'm an Enfant Terrible".
So it is; nothing less and nothing more.

It is May and till now the weather isn't that good. It is too cold for the time of the year. Nevertheless we all had some big fun in the garden and in the image gallery you can see some fun which we had with each other. See the below picture and see how I got another title.... BOD........Best Of Daddy
I hope you all have a good time too and take life as it comes...
Isn't that an intelligent statement from me?

See yah, next time!
It's me..
I'm Hanna!
