Ninja is such a good boy, especially since the last week.
Usually I am a night owl, love to stay up late. At the evening I can work on tasks as there are no distractions.
With this focus it’s easy to get a lot of things done… and I sure have enough to do the past week.
Ninja, since a few days, comes and fetches me to get me to the sleeping room and sleep.
He – usually – does not like to go or sleep in the bed, but now he crawls into the bed and asks for cuddles.
It is so cute that I can’t resist ^^
It brings my whole day/night rhythm out of sync and I need my routine… but when Ninja lies next to me I forget about all of that and it makes me happy and fall asleep. After some time I will wake up and find Ninja on the floor. Sometimes he comes back on the bed again…
I don’t dare to move, so he will stay as long as possible, even if it means to get chilled because Ninja is on top of the blanket… can’t pull it away without waking him up though 😆 tomorrow I will sleep wearing a pullover.
.
I do not need Ninja in the bed, but nevertheless it’s soft, fluffy and warm and he seems to enjoy it a lot.
.
Are dogs allowed in the bed for You?

The weather is cold, damp and foggy. Days are really short already.
Last night I took the whole pack out for a walk and got surprised by rain as we entered the forest. With 4 dogs the rocks paths were really slippery but fortunately I was surprised by the early darkness so I no longer had to see the tricky rocks 😆
I usually have a headlamp for those hikes but I could not find it and was fairly confident that it would work somehow 😊
Until I stood in the total.dark… at least the rain helped me keep my cool 🤣
.
I will post a short video as a story 😊
.
Just heard that we might have snow at the weekend, that would be really.really nice. I just love snow… unless it’s like 1m or even more on the path you want to walk… I hate when it gets inside the boots, or trousers… No, not where you think…
I meant the leftover snow that does not fit into the boot and instead slowly gathers above the ankles and moves up 🤣
.
Snow pictures are my favorites. Well… Let’s hope for some snow 😊
.
Do You like snow?

Hope You all had a nice weekend and we wish you a happy start into the new week with this cute picture. I hope it makes you smile.

I have been busy the past 2 days setting up a discord Server for us all.
I think it is always a bit difficult to interact with people on Instagram, I rarely see people interact with each other in comments and I have been looking forward to find a way to do this.
Discord ( this is not a sponsored post ) is a communication hub for gamers and has some neat features. I will give a nice look behind the scenes and post a lot more stuff there.
Think we have grown already to 70 people and people – who all love dogs – interact with each other already. So this is working out really nice 😊
If you want to try out, you can find us here:

Since I am still setting things up, I will keep it short today. Wish you a happy start into the week.

Thank You. I do appreciate all Your birthday wishes so much❤️
.
The day was a pretty normal day for Ninja and for us. We did not do anything special.
I wanted to bring him a duck to eat from shopping but I simply forgot.
So for now we rewarded him and the rest of the pack with a huge chunk of rumen. They all loved it 😊 Really love the quality of the stuff we got.
.
The picture here has been taken on a hike with a few others… There were 2 other intact male wolfdogs, Hadez and Ninja. It is so nice that they all get along.
Especially Ninja and Hadez. I am quite certain Ninja does not know that Hadez is his son , neither does Hadez know that Ninja is his father. They still get along so good.
At some point I feared that this relationship was broken but they found really nice together again.
.
Tomorrow I will.fetch Ninja’s birthday Duck I am certain he will love it 😊
.
Generally I like to not make too much fuzz about the birthday as I believe that they are confused by all the changes in our behaviour and the happenings around them when it is everything back to normal on the next day.
.
Wish You all a happy Sunday ❤️

As a birthday special I wanted to share my very first meeting with Ninja.
.
Before this I had no idea what Ninja looked like, how he was…
I had travelled to meet him and get evaluated if I was fit for a dog like him and was really stressed.
It was overwhelmingly beautiful to step in there to the pack. They were growling a bit at each other because they all wanted attention.
If you know what to look for you can see Ninja appeasing, he was the youngest of the pack and ‚everyone held him snall‘.
Ninja needed that to not become overly self confident 😆
.
I know the quality sucks, but it was taken 5 years ago on a $60 smartphone. But I am nevertheless happy that I have this moment captured.

Happy Birthday Ninja!
Loss of our lost ones brought us together. I still recall the first morning when you jumped into my bed at 5:30 and greeted me with kisses all over 🐺👅😆
Every once in a while you’ve pushed me to my limits and over… But even when I was grumpy at You, I always love You.
.
It is so weird to see where we started and how we grew together. I can’t put it into words how positively you have changed my life, and not to forget the life’s of many others. Thank You.
.
I wish You many healthy and happy years full of adventures to come ❤️

Sorry to bring the bad news, but I am quite indifferent to Halloween.
This does not mean I condemn others that celebrate it, it is just that I have no connection to it. I tried for 2 days to come up with something nice, but in the end I discarded all these pictures because I made them for the event and not because I was enthusiastic about it and I could see that I was not behind those pictures in every single pixel. That felt wrong.
So…
Not that I am feeling particularly well at the moment anyhow, no worries it is just a few days feeling sick and having a huge headache.
But I enjoyed indulging in reminiscences while looking at older pictures.
I stumbled across the pictures and videos with Leotie, the fox. She had been with us 2 years ago and while my lack of experience and non-foxproof apartment made this quite an exhausting time, it was at the same time a time with lots of fjoy. An emotional rollercoaster so to say. Leotie was dead scared of Ninja and it took long for her to find the self confidence to interact with Ninja.
It took with a good 200 tries a day 4 weeks till she overcame her fear. But she made it eventually and that was precious to witness.
I sometimes wonder how she is doing now, as I do not have contact to her owner. Wishing her the best from here.
I think I may want to rework one of the videos with her to explain a bit better what is happening than just having it run without comment, would you like that?
What do You think is going on here? I just see a little fox testing out borders and Ninja ist looking a bit grumpy to show her that she crossed one😆

Thank You again for yesterday’s advice, encouraging words and shared stories ❤️

It is all foggy and rainy today, I do not really want to go outside to walk the dogs today, but I promised 😊
People often forget that dogs have needs even if it is -20° outside or when it is raining.
Despite the weather they are excited and super happy to get out.
It is one of the reasons I got a dog in the first place, to have a good reason to get outside no matter what.
People often ask ‚How long do You walk Your dog?‘ When we are home we usually start at 9;00ot 9:15 and meet others at our packwalk. During summer we are often outside till 11:00 or even longer, especially when the weather is really nice.
In winter or when it rains however we keep it shorter 😆
From 16:30 till about 18:00 we are on our afternoon walk.
Other than that we do bike-jöring occasionally to power the dogs out.
It is really fun to ride the bike along the riverside and have Ninja pull me. He does really enjoy doing this.
.
On other days we dedicate the complete day to hikes and taking pictures….
I really like the daily routine out packwalks give us and I kind of miss that at times when I visit friends.

How long do You walk your dogs? Does Your dog mind the rain?

Today my thoughts are with one of my dearest friends.
A few years back, when I did not know to have Asperger, I had a long phase where I withdrew myself from the world (7 years). I could not go outside during the day, talked to no one, abandoned contact to all people I knew…
It was very difficult but afore mentioned friend managed, with a lot of patience, to help me find back into life and also encouraged to start what you follow here.
.
She had been there for me for many years and also did not hesitate to help me last year when I needed to go to the hospital. She is an amazing person, not only to me.
.
Sadly, right now she has a very tough time and a problem with her dear animal. I do not want to disclose details, but you can take my word that she is devastated and does not know how to go on from here.
.
I just can’t focus on something else right now, just want to help, even though there is no way I or anyone can directly assist.
.
So I thought some words of encouragement could help her to get so.e positive thoughts and strength to get through this.
.
Did You face a stroke of faith?
How did You deal with it?
So you have some words of encouragement?
I would really appreciate if you could take a moment to share ❤️

Ninja does not like to swim. He likes to wade through water, but when the water is deep enough to almost reach his chest he turns around.
So getting this picture was actually quite difficult, it took quite a lot of kind words in a squeaky voice to make him overcome his dislike.
.
This is a sidearm of the river Rhine, that is cut off from the main river. This place is beautifully surrounded by trees and the sunset provides this amazing glow.
.
I instantly fell in love with the little cove, but on this day I liked it even more. The water was totally smooth and mirrored the shore perfectly.
Ninja did not stand still enough for the waves to settle… I tried but he constantly moved on.
So I tried to settle for the ropes and take him out of the water quickly 😊
At least you can recognize a little reflection of Ninja looking at the water. It 8s not the same as having a smooth surface and turning the picture 180° though 😄
I will upload the wide version as a story, it does look amazing 😊
Wish you a happy Sunday 😊
