Capezio

Jim walked around and took secret photos of me haha

Vi har varit i Midtown idag. Vi gick bl.a till Capezio store. Oh, det var ett bra tag sen jag var i en dansbutik. Kande mig som hemma men anda sa borta. Det var langesen jag kopte en ny dans leotard. Av nagon anledning under tiden pa Dans och Cirkushogskolan slutade man mer och mer att kla sig i “riktiga” dansklader. Man blev alltmer fattigare och brydde sig mindre om hur manga hal man hade i kladerna, haha. Nar jag kom till NY hade jag en enda dansdrakt kvar som jag korde slut pa. Det var nu alltsa dags for en ny drakt och till en borjan blev det bara en drakt och ett par nya tights. *Glad*

We were in Midtown today. We went among other things to Capezio store. Oh, it has been a long time since I was in a dance store. Felt like home but also so far away. It’s been long time since I bought a new dance leotard. For some reason during the time at University of Dance and Circus you stopped more and more to dress in “real” dance clothes. You became poorer and you cared less about how many holes you had in your clothes, haha. When I came to NY I only had one dance body left that I used util the end of it. So it was now time to buy a new body and I only got one to begin with and a pair of new tights. *Happy*

Battery Park City Party

Vi tog en harlig promenad med Thor langs Hudson River (+27 grader idag!!) och hamnade i ett Battery Park City party. Alla ville halsa pa Thor och manga kande honom redan. Roligt att de gor sant har for omradet och kul att traffa alla som vi har lart kanna. Vi kanner oss nu lite mer hemma har i New York. 
Nu stack Jim precis ivag pa College Football med nagra via hans jobb, sa Thor och jag kommer ha en myskvall tillsammans. 

We took a lovely walk with Thor along the Hudson River (+27 degrees today!!) and ended up in a Battery Park City party. Everybody wanted to say hi to Thor and many already knew him. Fun that they do stuff like this for the area and fun to meet everybody we have got to know. We feel a little bit more home here in New York now. 
Now, Jim just left for College Football with some people from work, so Thor and I will have a cozy evening together.

Jim fotade lite idag / Jim took some photos today

Do you have candy on the table?

IMG_1173_2IMG_1163_2IMG_1169_2

Vi ovar tricks varje dag i vardagsrummet. Da hamnat treat-pasen pa bordet. Efter nagra sit, lie down och annat sa tycker jag att vi ar klara, men det tycker ju saklert inte Thor. Han vill ha mer godis. Han vet aven att vi ater var mat dar (ja, vi ater mest vid soffbordet). Han ar sa sot nar jag han forsoker se vilka kul grejer som ar dar uppe och om han kan fa tag i det. Han ar valdigt duktig pa att sta pa tva ben lange ocksa (framtida cirkusartist?? 🙂 ). 

I helgen har vi borjat anvanda hans sele. Tidigare har vi bara haft hans halsband nar vi gatt ut, for nar han behovde potty behovde vi fa pa kopplet snabbt och han har anda inte fa ga promenader. Men nu far vi halsa pa andra hundar och ga langre promenader och da ar det lite tufft for hans lilla hals. Sa nu nar han antingen skaller pa dorren eller tittar pa kopplet nar han vill ga ut (ja, han lar sig snabbt och ar smart) kan vi ta pa selen i lugn och ro, for han vet att vi kommer att ta med honom ut. Oh, det ar sa mycket battre med sele. Om han blir exalterad over flygande lov eller drar for att halsa pa andra, blir halsbandet som ett strypgrepp och han borjar hosta sa sele ar mycket sakrare. Vissa sager att hundar drar mer da for de kan inte kanna det, men vi far helt enkelt bara vara strikta med att han inte far dra i kopplet och hittils funkar det superbra! Han ar duktig pa att ga bredvid mig. Vi gick en langre promenad innan och han blev sa trott att han somnade nar vi kom in igen. Kul att vara utomhus helt enkelt 🙂

We are practicing tricks every day in the living room. The treat-bag then ends up on the table. After some sit, lie down and other stuff I think we are done, but of course Thor doesn’t think so. He wants more candy. He also knows that we are eating our food there (yes, we are most of the times eating by the coffee table). He is so cute when he is trying to see what fun stuff that is up there and if he can reach it. He is very good in standing on two feet too (future circus artist?? 🙂 ).
This weekend we have started to use his harness. We have only used his collar when we have gone outside, cause if he needed go potty we needed to quickly put the leash on and he also could’t go for walks. But now we are allowed to say hi to other dogs and go for longer walks and then it’s a little hard on his little throat. So now when he is either barking at the door or looking at the leash when he needs to got out (yes, he is a fast learner and is smart) we can take our time to put on the harness, cause he knows we will take him out. Oh, it’s so much better with a harness. If he gets excited over flying leaves or drags to say hi to others, a collar strangles him and he starts to cough so a harness is much safer. Some people say that dogs drags more then cause they can’t feel it, but just have to be strict with that he can not drag the leash and so far it works well! He is so good walking next to me. We went for a longer walk earlier today and he got so tired that he fell asleep when we came inside again. It’s just so fun to be outside 🙂 

Dentist

IMG_1154_2Thor is not super fluffy right now. After his bath tonight he will be a fluff-ball again 🙂

Idag ar Thor 15 veckor gammal. Han har over natten fatt massor med nya tander. Och pa tal om tander sa var jag hos tandlakaren igar for cleaning (har far man en cleaning 2 ggr om aret). Min trad bakom tanderna fran tidigare tandstallning hade lossnat pa ena sidan for nagra dagar sedan, sa det fixade dem at mig. Lillen var da sjalv hemma i tva timmar. Det har han varit forrut utan problem, han ska klara 2-3 timmar, men oj sa glad han va att se mig nar jag kom hem. Pussade mig och ville inte lamna mig ens utomhus for potty. Vi har en gosig liten mammas kille 🙂

Today Thor turns 15 weeks old. He has over night got a lot of new teeth. And speaking of teeth, I was at the dentist yesterday for a cleaning (here you get a cleaning twice a year). My thread behind my teeth from earlier braces got loose on one side a couple of days ago, so they fixed that for me. The little one was home alone for two hours. He has been alone like that before without problem, he should manage to be alone for 2-3 hours, but wow so happy he was when I came home. Kissed me and didn’t wanna leave me even outside for potty. We have a cuddly little mommas boy 🙂

One month of being puppy parents

IMAG3410_2

Nu ar det en manad sedan vi fick en ny familjemedlem. Puppy parents i en manad redan!!
Thor ar verkligen underbar. Sa mycket jobb men sa givande. Han tuggar pa allt, jagar lov utomhus, gosar in sig hos oss for att bli kliad, vill saga hej och pussa alla, har fatt en favorittroja som han leker med (vi har tva likadana och vi fick dem gratis sa det gor inte sa mycket), han gor i stort satt alla potty utomhus och han sover hela natterna. Han kan sitta och ligga nar man ber honom. Vi har borjat med paw (tass) vilket gar framat. Vi borstar hans pals och borstar tanderna varje dag och det gar bra. Att fila hans naglar gar mindre bra men det gar iaf lite framat. 

Now it’s one month since we got a new family member. Puppy parents for a month already!!
Thor is really wonderful. So much work but so rewarding. He chews everything, chases leaves outside, snuggles up with us to get scratched, wants to say hi and kiss everybody, has got a favorite sweater that he plays with (we have two of the same that we got for free so it doesn’t bother us), he makes almost all potty outside and he sleeps throughout the nights. He can sit and lie down when you ask him. We have started with paw which is going forward. We brushes his coat and brushes his teeth every day and it is going well. To file his nails is going less good but we’re going a little bit forward anyway.
