We are slowly recovering from the eventful Christmas and a little cold I had/have afterwards and I even missed to write Christmas wishes to friends and family. Fortunately I am feeling slowly better today 😊
Next week we will have more visitors. Finally we will be able to see Christian and Indira again, and I will try to hike in the Black Forest once more. Hopefully we will have a bit more snow.
.
It always makes me so hapoy to watch Ninja having fun in the snow. Isn’t it cute how his tongue sticks out just a little bit 😍
.
I will just get to bed again to recover a bit more from my cold. Wish You a great time with friends and family ❤️

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season.
.
After all the stress of the past weeks I am happy to have a few calm days and caught up with my lack of sleep.
I think I might soon travel to the North of Germany and also to the Normandie to visit our friend @furry.road
.
Yesterday we had a fun hike at the Castle Farnsburg. I noticed the castle nearby on a map and wanted to check it out. I was surprised how big it was. Compared to the castles in my home area I would consider it a larger one. Kaihu and Ninja were doing really fine. While it took like 10 tries to get one picture of him Ninja was, as usually quite routined… We were able to make a few shots, but there was rain coming and it was overall quite dark… So we will return another day.
.
Yeah, I am not the typical Christmas person, love to get some Christmas vibes through other’s stories and posts, but don’t really need more and feel more comfortable out there in the snow and the woods 😊 I am certain Ninja would agree.
.
On one hand I am certain he enjoyed having visitors around, but at the same time he also loves it in the snow 😊

Since a few weeks I had the joy of testing the second generation of the #goleygo dog leash on Ninja.

.
I must confess that I have a hard time warming up with new stuff. But this locking mechanism was actually quite convenient and I noticed how I chose the @kerbl.pet leash over the one have been using before.
The GoleyGo mechanism consists of an adapter and a magnet inside the lock mechanism. If the adapter comes close to the lock mechanism the powerful magnet will pull the adapter to the inside and then lock the adapter via a barrier.
.
The mechanism is actually well designed as it is super easy to use. Even with all of Ninja’s fluff, you can use it with one hand, without the need to fiddle around. It does even work well wearing thick gloves.
.
The release mechanism works one handed as well. You just have to pull the ribbed part to the back and it will release the barrier inside the lock mechanism and can pull the leash away. This does also work when your dog pulls like mad 😊
.
I have posted a video as a story and tagged it to the story highlight, so you can check it out in action.
I will certainly keep using it 😊
.
The new Kerbl Leashes with the GoleyGo mechanism can be obtained in You fa prize pet store 😊
Or you can use my personalized link in my profile description and the story highlights 😊

My sister has been visiting us this weekend. It has been the first time for a good 18 years that we have seen each other.
.
It was interesting to see how familiar we have still been after all this time. We talked about old times and a lot of fond memories filled my mind.
It is weird how I could bury these so deep…
But this are the kind of moments that make up Christmas for me. What are Your plans for Christmas? What do You enjoy?
I hope you can spend this season in the circle of your close friends and family. Wish You a happy advent 😊

Just a few quick shots of Ninja goofing around …

Thank You for Your empathy, thoughts, experiences on yesterday’s post. I am reading it all and am a bit overwhelmed by all Your support. Thank You ❤️
I know some of You have hard times and like to get your thoughts on beautiful, happy and fun things, which is one of the reasons I kept so quiet about the accident. I can however let You know how things are proceeding, if You like.
.
If You recall the story where I directed Ninja on that Rock in the Black Forest, here is another result. Just love that face 😍
.
A few were concerned if Ninja and Hadez were wearing shock collars, but no. Neither Frank nor me have used or use such devices.
It is a very cool tracking GPS Tracker with augmented reality, we were testing the past days and I can show You more in detail as a story later today, if You like 😊 It is like finding Ninja instead of Pokemons 😊

Yesterday I was before court ⚠️
.
2 years ago Ninja ran over the dam at the riverside towards 2 riders on horses. One of the riders got spooked of Ninja and tried to gallop away, fell down and hurt herself badly.
.
I was brought before court. Their first idea was, because I am disabled, poor and can`t work that I should accept to pay, because it would not matter if I had debts or not. For real 😕
.
All this is constantly in my head for 2 years now and paralyses me from time to time. If you wondered why we had a „break“ and I lack activity from time to time, this is the reason. I can`t think of anything else then.
.
Yesterday we had 2 witnesses state their observations. While one witness (of the opposing party) pretty much confirmed my statements, did not interpret things and was very objective, the other witness said, „there was a dog looking like a wolf trying to bite the horse in the hind leg and throat, was snarling and howling while doing so…“
.
What can I say? I am shocked! Did Ninja run towards the horses, yes? Did Ninja run after the horses, yes… but not aggressively, he was curious. He is literally the kindest soul I have seen. You all know Ninja from the videos, how he behaves with kids, old people, dogs, other animals… everyone is fascinated by his kind soul.
.
What makes all this worse, is that the rider will get her money either way from the insurance (👈), so there is no need to do a false statement before court.
You know, if a horse „panics, fears for its life“ it would never stop 50m further, next to the dog it is mortally afraid of. Horses are escape animals In panic they run until they feel safe, for miles when. Also, the second horse walked towards Ninja and stopped next to him when I picked him up. Is that behavior of a horse in “mortal fear”?
.
2 years ago, the rider said to me „I did not see anything!“ and now she states this… I should have called the police right away so this would have been on record.
. ⚠️
If You want to help me, I am not a horse expert, do you have scientific papers that explain what happens to a horse in panic? How likely is it that the horse just stops right away? Next to the animal it is afraid of?

Hello, my Name is Ninja and I need your support…
.
Michael will have in an hour an serious appointment, that I will be able to talk about these days, and I am super nervous and afraid.
It’s nothing nice, nothing to look forward to and I have been dreading this day for 2 years now. Just send me some warm thoughts while I get through this please.
.
Afterwards I will drive home and write about it the next days.
.
Hope you all have a better day than that ❤️
.
At least Ninja is very supportive and does not leave my side. He is the best ❤️🐺
.
Edit: Ninja is all right, it has only indirect to do with him

You may have noticed that the pictures show a lot more details now and that the background seems a bit more blurred.
.
I still use my budget camera, even if I do not know how many more shutter counts it will provide. 4.5 years ago I got this camera and made 262 000 pictures so far.
This is basically the whole secret behind Ninjas posing abilities. At the start I had like 1 to 2 seconds to capture a moment, a dog that would just run off like everyone else 😆
Daily practice, daily training, hand feeding… and lots of praise when he did the slightest thing as desired.
This is why enjoys this so much 😊
.
Again I am no saint, sometimes I am frustrated and angry when Ninja is not in a mood for pictures and we have a rare light condition or are at a spot where we won’t return to.
But when I am frustrated this shows even more on the pictures so it’s a circle…
The easy solution is to keep Ninja super happy and encourage him, to praise him and reward with attention and interaction.
As You can see at this day Ninja was in perfect picture mood. Maybe because I was so happy about the details my new lens shows and how well it focusses. The lens has a great „bang for the bucks“-ratio but I do not want to advertise it here. You can certainly pm me though 😊
.
Again I have plenty of messages to catch up to and have a busy week ahead. I drive around again, will have to make another promotion and my aunt that I have not seen for several (-15?) years will visit before Christmas.
So forgive me… Towards the end of the year it will become better.
.
Thank You to the kind person – that does not want to be named – for the cute toy for Ninja. He is very happy and has been carrying it around to show off before Hadez. Haha! Loook what I have!
