As I’m in a “Let’s be honest” phase, I have decided to confess to all my very small “mishaps” along the “Dog Bed Saga”.

Veronica should even be thankful, and not complain!

I’m actually helping her to test the pros and cons with each one of them! As a bonus, she get’s to go shopping, for a new better Bed! Yes, thankful is the word!

I should be called “Felicia the Dog Bed Tester”! (BTW I’m available for anyone in need of testing.)

Ok back to the story:

“The Harry Barker Bed”…unfortunately….there was one, or two …or a few embarrassing accidents…well puppy accidents…you know what I mean. (the LLBean Bed is lying there because…well you’ll see why later)

Veronica was in a state, each time “I don’t understand, no other of my Boxers did that”. (Certainly not  “Little Ms perfect Lego”!)

C’mon, we’re talking about a Puppy here…and even older puppies are still very young Dogs!

AND in my defence Indya did exactly the same!

Veronica was telling everyone, “This is the new generation Boxer dogs!”.

Come think of it, yes. absolutely, that’s it, they changed the formula. She can’t expect the same results with the new models. Ha!

As a matter of fact, this explains that!!

The new model is more distracted, obeys “differently”, takes personal initiatives on the home front. Yes, Indya and I are the latest model, with the extra new features.

An example? Ok, off the top of my head: the “wrestling on the Svensk Tenn sofas” game!

FYI: Indya was totally part of it all…but when found out, she always took an innocent “I have nothing to do with this” look. The cheat! She’s mostly the investigator.

Me? I never destroy anything! Oop’s-a-daisy, the “honesty phase”, damn it!  So, I might have jumped on the sofa first, and there have been, a few “events”, with beds, paper, food… ok, enough already!

Let’s move on, the Harry Barker Bed had to be thrown away.

The LLBean Bed was very funny to drag around.  One day, left alone, I was slightly bored and…

…I just happened to stumble on it…in the basement. One thing led to another…and,well let’s just say that those beds are not “Dog play proof”.

Veronica needs to file a complaint to the company.

The “Ecological” bed…I… no idea what happened here!

Last but not least, the “Cloud7 drama”!  (Absolutely, drama!) Please, before judging, hear me out!!

Here I was, alone at home, innocently playing with my new toy, and somehow, without any, warning, the Bed AND the toy…

,,,just exploded! Suddenly there was stuff everywhere!!

Veronica was in a state of shock !! “Felicia, this is the Cloud7 bed!!! Are you out of your mind????”

I don’t see what that fuss was all about. It was just the Velcro that opened and the inside cushion somehow slipped out and ripped, just a little bit.

And those small polystyrene balls were not that hard to pick up.

Didn’t she repair it? Isn’t it good as new?! So, now you can see my side of this supposed “drama”!

From that day on, when left alone, I was to sleep on the travel blankets. More infuriating, the comfy Cloud7 Bed could be spotted behind the glass door, taunting us!

We were reduced to sleep on mats! The unfairness of it!! Indya was with me on this one!

You probably think I should feel a little ashamed…but I don’t!

What do I care…I get to sleep on the chair these days!

“FGTDB”: +super comfortable, close to Veronica, supposedly off limits, battle won!                           -sleeping area comes with hourly restrictions

Sweet dreams!

Today Let’s talk about my Bed…S.  Yes in plural! I have and have had a number of Beds. Veronica want’s the best for me. That’s the official version, unofficially she loves to shop!

(There is another reason. I might, or might not, tell you why next week)

As I’m a Dog Bed expert by now, I’ll share my experience and conclusions with you. It’s called “Felicia’s Guide To Dog Beds” (FGTDB). Results on a scale from 1 to 10.

Let’s begin the tour:

The “Cotton Bone Bed”.

FGTDB: 7, +Beautiful, comfortable.    -Gets dirty easy, looses it’s shape after washing

Look how cute I am, “Felicia the adorable Puppy resting”.

The “LLBean Personalised Fleece Bed”. (With my name embroidered)

“FGTDB”: 8, +Soft fleece, easy to wash   -Tends to flatten over time.

A side note: I really was the cutest puppy ever!

Even Lego enjoyed it, I loved to snuggle up very close to her. I do miss my Lego, I really don’t get this “no visits allowed in Fairyland”??

Wonder who’s behind that stupid rule? I know it’s not Veronica…it could totally be her though…what with her personality!

The “Harry Barker Striped Bed”.  A gift from Razzy to Lego (You remember? my handsome Weimaraner friend)

“FGTDB”: 8, +Very soft and comfy, solid  -Filling cannot be washed

The “Harry Barker Bed”, size Large, can be shared:

Here we have two beautiful young Boxer girls. Oh but look, it’s Felicia von der Andreashöhe and her BFF, Indya von Exkalibur.

Veronica adored this Bed, she even ordered the matching striped mats.

For the car

…and my Dinner station area.

“FGTDB”: 10, +Solid, does not retain dirt, easily washed

The “Ecological Recuperated Fabric, Fill it Yourself Bed”.

“FGTDB”: 6 +Cool, beautiful patterns   -Not very comfy, gets dirty quickly

Side note: I was hanging out by the door, waiting for EC, he was staying with us at that time

We had quite a few of those. Yes in a big house there has to be several Beds, even though most of the time

I wanted to share them

with my Lego

The “Mungo and Maud Bed”.

“FGTDB”: 5, +Beautiful   -Looses it’s shape, too fragile, too small

A clear upgrade, Veronica had been eying those for some time. She was quite disappointed though. Did not live up to expectations, by any means!!

A tad small for two (And this is the largest size). Mind you, I loved sleeping close, very close to my Lego.

The “Outdoor Observation Bed”.

“FGTDB”: 8, +Perfect for the outside   -Too hard

Keeping guard is my duty, I’m a Boxer, a guard dog! My job is to stop intruders and show who’s the Boss around when it comes to passing dogs.

Especially my sworn enemy, a.k.a. the “I’m so full of myself the Jack Russel” (Unfortunately Veronica doesn’t see my point of view…at all!)

The “Cloud7 Bed”. Our Best in Test!

“FGTDB”: 10 +Super comfortable, keeps the shape, solid, rejects dirt, easily washed    -With very active dogs there can be a very small problem.

Now here we have the ultimate amazing top notch, beautiful, comfy Dog Bed, and my absolute favourite of all!! (And Veronica’s of course!)

I can spread out (Size XL), rest my head on the sideboard. Veronica even ordered the Cloud7 special blanket to make it even softer.

Great for traveling, here on my “Boxer Travels” post.

“FGTDB”: 10 +very easy to roll up, easy to wash, comfortable

Loads of space for co sleeping comfortably downstairs

and upstairs.

You might wonder what happened to all those various Beds…Should I tell you…or not, this needs some serious consideration!

Perhaps next week…right now my Cloud7 Bed is calling…

Best in test, amazing quality, also priciest:

https://cloud7.de/de/

A very good quality price Bed:https:

Very nice and solid especially the dog mats:

We have a Baby in the family!!! Yes!! Can you believe that??? And I’m not kidding here!! A REAL LIVE BABY!

MC and VH had a little Baby L

I’m in quite a shock to tell you the truth! A Baby??!! Was that really necessary?? I mean I’m the family Baby…and then Indya of course!! We are the cute ones! No need for supplementary Babies!

And if that’s not enough we have Little E from time to time!

Come think of it, I’m not sure Little E will be thrilled by the arrival of this new family member. She loves dolls, sure, but a live Baby?

She’s used to being the center of attention and the star here, not to mention her very slight “Drama Queen” personality.

Well, well…interesting, very interesting…can’t wait to see how that works out…

These past months Indya and I had been quite worried about MC, she was getting a little chubby and then there was that weird bump up front.

She stopped running and slept all the time, there were sudden mood swings. Yes, we were seriously worried about her.

We had no idea Baby L was hidden in that bump.

There were many changes at MC and VH’s house: New strange furniture, and new wall paper.

Plenty of new toys Indya wasn’t allowed to play with.

Apparently Babies need special Baby furniture, special Baby toys and a whole range of special Baby stuff!

Totally exaggerated.

Let’s not forget the party!! Baby L got a party before she was even born! YES! I might understand the furniture and the toys, but a pre birth party??? Now that’s ridiculous!!

It’s called a Baby shower… pffff…. and look at all these balloons, and there were plenty of gifts and many, many, many of MC’s girlfriends, half of them with Baby bumps. Is pregnancy contagious?

Worst of all; We were NOT invited!! But conveyed upstairs, away from the fun and the balloons! The injustice of it!!

Veronica told us we would get “too agitated”…PLEASE..

BTW talking about agitated; those girls down there were loud and giggly! A bunch of Boxers would have acted more dignified!

The Pot calling the Kettle black!! That’s what I say!

The only REAL fun during that party, from our perspective, was that NC came up to cuddle with us, AND give us treats.

I kind of had the feeling he felt a little out of place…with all those girls around. He was the ONLY guy after all.

Something super cool did come out of that whole crazy Baby shower business; I got to play with the balloons and make them pop. ALL of them.. best game ever!!

FYI: Planning a Baby Shower? I’ll handle the balloons!

Then one day Baby L was born. A tiny Baby Girl. The family was overjoyed and with the joy came the unavoidable crying session…of course. EVERYONE was crying!!

It reminded me of The Wedding! I just don’t get it; the whole “Very happy/crying” nonsense??!!

Pathetic! C’mon guys, get a grip! You’re embarrassing yourselves!

We were introduced to Baby L. “Now girls you have to be calm, no licking, she’s very small and delicate, admire her from a distance”

We were allowed to smell her.

A question;  she’s super tiny and looks more like a doll to me,  does she really need all these accessories?  And is she here to stay?

Indya had mixed feelings. Was her life going to change with a Baby in the house?

She had to keep close watch, just in case…

Baby L came along in the stroller on all the walks.

Even in the fields. It was a special Swedish stroller. “The Volvo of strollers” so Dennis said.

Amazingly enough, Indya got quite attached to Baby L. She felt a certain responsibility towards the family.

It was now her role to protect and keep Baby L safe, away from all dangers.

When Baby L came over to our house, everything was about her.

Veronica became really silly, she could do nothing else other than to stare at her, or carry her, and go on and on about her; “Isn’t she adorable? Just look at her. She’s so cute” on and on I tell you!

Enough already with the dotting! It’s just a baby!

Babies have to eat a lot!! I mean A LOT! And they make small weird noises.

I had no idea a Baby could be this time consuming! And aren’t Babies suppose to cry all the time? Well, that’s what I’ve heard.

Baby L never cries, never! She sleeps, or smiles or eats. Astonishing. Is this a special Baby?

I think it’s because VH is the father, yes that’s it. It’s the only explanation, obviously it couldn’t come from the family genes, oh no, way too much drama here!!

Reluctantly I have to admit she’s a tiny bit cute…well quite cute….ok ok I’m totally taken in by her charms, she’s ADORABLE!! (Can’t believe I just said that!!)

Baby L is here to stay, I’ll just have to deal with it.

On the plus side, Baby L will grow into Little L and small people come with a whole range of advantages;

They like to share their food…they give goodies… they blow fun soap bubbles…. and she’ll be just as cute as Little E.

I might… just might… love Baby L.

I am very excited and happy! The Easter Bunny came to our house!!! Yes he himself! He got me a gift!

Here’s the thing; I did not technically see him. Obviously he has to be discreet, if not we would see his hiding places. Anyway, who else could have hidden those eggs that well? I ask you??

Trust me, it was the Easter Bunny!!

Living in Veronica’s house means no holiday without festive decorations! We know that by now! These are the Swedish Easter feathers. Yes I know what you’re thinking, I agree, very strange!

My secret dream is to grab the lot, feathers and all, and have a big Easter party around the house…but my amazing self restraint keeps my impulses under control. Yes, I’m a well mannered Boxer girl.

Ok, ok there was a tiny little incident…but let’s not get ahead of events!

This is the Easter box, with all the appropriate items. It’s astonishingly small compared to the Christmas ones.

If it wasn’t for Dennis’s prompt intervention at the store, there would be three boxes…at least! I’m with him on this one, enough stuff already!

The Easter table is beautiful. I think I look fab there. Like a beautiful Easter Bunny! “Felicia, the adorable Easter Bunny Boxer adorning the table”.

Oh, I have a great idea! Somebody should make festive Easter cards with this photo!! “Happy Easter, wishes Felicia von der Andreashöhe, the Bunny Boxer”! I would become super famous! Oh yeah!

Veronica used to have small candy eggs lying there too…until they mysteriously disappeared… I have NO idea what happened.

D-Day arrived, they were so busy with preparations that, as always, they forgot about me!! Hey guys, over here, hungry Boxer girl on her mat!

Goes to show on a scale of one to ten, where I stand!

Veronica dressed me in my special “Easter festive bow”. I know, ridiculous. It used to be worse… much worse!

I had bunny ears!! Can you imagine? “Felicia, it’s only for the photo”… Well, that’s no reason to ridicule your sweet dog, I look PATHETIC!

One day I “found” the Bunny ears on the table and…well…let’s just say no dog will ever wear those again!

Good news, the bow is just for the actual day. Not to be worn on walks or at Corinne’s. I would be utterly embarrassed if Inook, Mylo or even the Cutie Pugs saw me with it!

Finally, after an eternity the family arrived.

The big moment arrived: The egg hunt!!! Veronica’s the “Head Commander”: One, two, go!!

We ran off like crazy searching in the whole garden.

Some members seem to have difficulties finding their egg…especially ZC…she has the “Egg Hunt Panic” syndrome, and needs to be assisted by fellow family members.

NC was my “Egg Hunt Buddy”, we searched together! And what have we found??

MY egg?  YES…ONLY for me!!!

NC made me sit down, and slowly, very slowly he opened the magic egg.

WOW!! A bunny!! WOW!! My own bunny! How cool is that!!!!

I was beside myself with joy!! And I played like crazy!! Wohooo… lets go wild with the bunny!!

The others were still searching, c’mon guys, what’s your problem? Look at me, I found my egg, easy peasy!!

MBC got a mild touch of the “Egg Hunt Panic” syndrome, and needed active help from more skilled searchers, such as EC, he’s an expert! Can you imagine, needing help? Pffff… Oh, my “Egg Hunt Buddy”? Totally different situation, apples and oranges here!!

Anyhow, let’s focus on what’s important; we have a very clever Easter Bunny!

The Easter meal looked amazing, Dennis had been cooking all morning. At this point I was considering my options;

Sit by Dennis’s side? Usually that pays off… though today I felt NC might be the wiser choice. Sure enough, he knew what a festive Easter Boxer girl needed, a little yummy reward.

It would have been the perfect Easter holiday if it hadn’t been for the very insignificant incident. Now there are two sides to this story!! So listen to mine!!

Veronica received beautiful big flowers and needed the large vase…she put the feathers on the table…

I deducted she was going to throw them away…I saw a golden opportunity for some fun…I mean it couldn’t hurt just to have a quick peak…anyway they were having dinner in the kitchen…

…unfortunately “throwing away feathers” was not on Veronica’s agenda!

I got a whole lecture about “Destroying nice decorations” and “They were on the table Felicia” she even mumbled something that sounded very much like “No Easter egg for you next year”

C’mon, they looked really old! AND how was I to know that “On the table” meant she was reusing them??? She really needs to be more specific!

As for the Easter Bunny…

…he loves me and anyhow I don’t care!

I have my own Bunny!

Happy Easter!

Veronica has a new “hobby”, Yoga! Yes Yoga!! She tells everyone she wants to stay fit, flexible, reinforce her bones, live long and healthy.

Yeah, sure… I don’t believe a word of it. I’ll tell you why; it’s because of Lululemon!

Lululemon is an athletic apparel brand. She discovered it in the US and now ALL her dog wear is Lululemon. “It’s very comfortable” so she says, (lame explanation; she loves the design!)

One day she bought some specific Yoga wear, and a Yoga mat. Probably because she thought they looked cool, and Yoga is trendy.

Veronica, who considers herself quite fit, took a few private lessons. Reality hit her hard!! I heard her tell everyone; “OMG!! Yoga is exhausting”. What did she expect? A few simple movements on a mat??

The lessons became fewer, the official justification was that she travelled too much. I suspect laziness.

However, one day, for some obscure reason, she announced proudly to her family and friends; “I’m taking up Yoga again”. She even bought the season package.

I think it’s because she want’s Dennis to exercise too…on his bike.

This is Constance, the Yoga Master. She must be a great teacher; she loves dogs!

Akash was Constance’s dog, sadly he had to leave for Fairyland not long ago. He was very sweet and so gentle, he even did a little Yoga. Lego was his friend.

She has two cats. Me, I don’t care much about those. They have enough sense not to come into our garden. So we haven’t been properly introduced.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike cats per se. Oh no, they can surely be charming…at times…

Veronica loves cats, she even had a cat, Yaourt. He’s in Fairyland with Lego. He was cute, sure, but look at that; taking up half of Lego’s bed, really? Who does he think he is? King of the house?

Cats have all these privileges: They can walk wherever they want, us dogs have to stay on a leash and behind fences. They’re allowed up on beds, chairs, sofas, the works.

When I meet a cat on our walks in the neighbourhood, it sits down, and stairs at me. Giving me the “Yes, can I help you?” look. The superior, provocative “I own the world”, kind of look.

Cats…charming? On second thought, I don’t really see it!

Constance lives very close by in a beautiful big house with a magic garden. It even has a little pond and Bee hives.

It’s called the “House of Yoga” and has a special gate just for the Yoga classes.

Sometimes they have Yoga lessons in the garden.

Even the cat joins them…see, typical cat attitude!

Every Monday morning Veronica, dutifully, goes to her Yoga class. I wait by the door. (I don’t appreciate her leaving without me!! This is usually our Big walk time!!)

Sometimes I hang out in the Garden, looking for her. Waiting impatiently. I feel quite offended she replaced our walks with her new “hobby”

Suddenly walking with me isn’t enough?? Does she really care for Yoga? Is this new trend going to last??

The other day a small miracle happened; I was invited to a lesson!! Yes me, Felicia von Der Andreashöhe!! Now I’ll see what it’s all about!

(It was a private lesson mind you)

Constance is a pro, no way Veronica can to “Downward dog” like her!

Veronica told Dennis, and the children and her friends, she has an excuse. She’s much older then all other members in their group.

I have news for you Veronica. Apparently there is this super old Lady who’s a real Yoga champion!!

Age is no excuse in the Yoga world!!

I got my own Yoga mat. C’mon, that’s very easy!  Bet you I could do all the Yoga poses. I’m a near Agility champion, remember?

I could be a pro too…

..only I don’t really have the right “Yoga Spirit” right now. Everyone knows that you have to feel your soul at peace in order to achieve the more complex postures.

I’ll take a rain check on that one…

I pains me to admit it, but Veronica looked happy! Yes she really enjoyed the lesson. Unbelievable!

Constance;  she’s the best, not only does she love dogs, but she made Veronica actually love Yoga!!! And I tell you what; that’s quite the achievement!!

She’s a great teacher!

With all this Yoga zen spirited atmosphere around me, honesty seems in order: we do go for a long walk after her lesson…she does NOT neglect me..at all…I just felt left out!

Yoga? Yeah it’s cool. Personally, what I prefer is the SAVASANA! It’s my specialty! I could even be a champion, I mean just look at me!!

NAMASTE!

Thank you Constance for introducing me to the marvels of your Yoga world.

“Always a great pleasure to read you! Thank you for your tribute to Akash, we all got very emotional reading it😢
It was a great pleasure to have you and Felicia! 🙏“

Need athletic wear, Lululemon:

http://lululemon.com

Today is a special day, I’m going shopping with Veronica. Not shopping per se, so she told Dennis,  “CS and I are only going to check out the new store and the spring collection”.

He didn’t look convinced. She kind of has a “reputation”. Though amazingly enough she does like to just browse the various stores, clothes, furniture etc…

Perhaps she feels it’s like a sort of museum.

On today’s Menu;  SOCIETY.

A linen brand Veronica discovered a long time ago. She loves the sheets, the towels…etc… let’s just say she’s a BIG fan! She used to go to Milan to shop. (Without me!!).

I heard she spent hours in the store…HOURS!! Told you, she’s a little crazy. Good news, no need to travel to Milan anymore. We now have our own SOCIETY store!

I’m wearing my beautiful lilac leash; “Look Felicia, you’re in harmony with SOCIETY colour palette”.

Let’s face the truth; I love SOCIETY sheets too! They’re super fun. As a pup I played hide and seek in them. Until Veronica caught me in the act and put an end to it.

Now I sneak into the room for a nap whenever she changes the linen set. It’s super comfy!

The bed is out of bounds, however, I find ways to climb up…discreetly…

The bathroom towels are less interesting for me, and the rug’s not very soft.

I come here quite often, just to annoy Veronica, make her hurry up and get ready faster. She usually orders me out. “Felicia you’re in my way, out”.

The New Store is in the Old Town.

Veronica gave me the “Shopping etiquette” speech this morning “Felicia this is a small store, you’re NOT allowed to jump on the bed, or to smell any sheets, or blankets, be discreet, if not you can stay home.”

Staying home ?? NO way! And misbehave?  HELLO; this is not any boring store, we’re talking about SOCIETY!

The door is open…somebody’s there?

It’s Alessio, he greets us warmly, he loves dogs and makes me feel very welcome.

I admit the store is gorgeous. There are many ‘oohs and ahhs’ from Veronica and CS. I decide to take up the most interesting position: By the window.

Here I can leisurely observe the passers by in the street. Wish a dog would walk by so I can show off “Look at me, I’m INSIDE the store, I’m friend’s with Alessio!!”

Unfortunately the window station is not “Veronica approved”. Apparently she’s worried I might slip out and live my own life. Now why would I do that??

As you probably guessed, this will be no express visit…oh no… Everything has to be thoroughly looked at. Each item and new color studied in detail (and discussed at length.)

I’m used to the whole “shopping bazaar” and choose my next spot. By the bed, in case there’s an opening, to sneak up on it. Not that I’m planning anything, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

As a matter of fact I look great here. My beautiful coat with the colours of the sheets, the blanket, yes perfect. I even think I’d look fantastic ON the bed.

I could be in a SOCIETY ad: “Felicia, the Boxer girl looking beautiful on a SOCIETY Bed”. Don’t you agree? They should contact me. And I am very patient, I can pose. (I said this before, I’m the perfect advertising dog!)

Should I just try the bed?

Sometimes I think Veronica can read my mind. “Felicia the bed is off limits” she takes me close to the bathroom area.

Come think of it all SOCIETY colours look good with my complexion. Well I do have a beautiful coat, everyone says so. That new Yellow colour with my brindle, nice.

I know it’s new, first because CS and Veronica immediately spotted it, secondly because we don’t have it.

Once the ground floor is visited, and all the new items admired, it’s time to try some clothes on, in the lower level.

There’s a special cabin. I’m not allowed inside.

I’m such a perfect Boxergirl, I should get a special medal for my patience, and then of course one for posing.

Finally after a VERY long time the “let’s try this on” session is over. Would have been much longer had there been more items.

I kind of want to leave now. That’s when her Iphone rings, it does that a lot, most of the time it’s her children. You’d think being adults they’d stop calling her ALL THE TIME.

She ALWAYS answers, even if she shouldn’t “I need to take this, might be important”. Ridiculous! Sometimes there’s a minor question or story, sometimes it’s some kind of emotional drama.

Kids: Grow up! (I love them but hey, all that phone time should be dedicated to me!)

When she finally hangs up, and just as I think we’re leaving, they get offered juice and biscuits.

Really??? Is that necessary? Like they haven’t spent enough time here!! And what about me? Don’t I get something??? (Ok, to be fair Veronica gave me quite a lot of treats for my perfect behaviour)

Suddenly CS remembers she wants to ask about curtains…Seriously??? Now??? You need to focus here, we’re leaving…well, not anymore, Curtains it is!

Now I’m beyond bored, I can’t even look through the window properly!

Finally we say goodbye to Alessio.

I’ve been such a perfect, obedient, pleasant, well educated Boxer girl (Everybody said so!).

SOCIETY is a beautiful store and Alessio is really nice, but most of all, as always, I love spending time with Veronica.

SOCIETY people, a word;  make Dog beds!! I can’t risk this behaviour much longer, also Dog biscuits in all stores!

Many thanks to Alessio for your patience and kindness, and to CS for the photos

I’m a star! Yes, just look, I have my own photo shoot; I’m a star! Last year Veronica got a gift from all the children; my own photo shoot session with a pro.

I was very excited. An hour just for me, and I am the best model ever!

This is Celine Bissat. She’s a magician, she makes all dogs look amazing. (FYI; I always look amazing.)

NC was the one who discovered her. He’s also my big fan, and he arranged the whole business.

Here is Celine with her dog Ayko. Veronica thinks he’s very elegant. I can be elegant too, even if I don’t appear it at first sight. I have big elegant muscles (even Dr L thinks so).

(Supposedly Indya is the elegant one. Says who??)

We got there early (Well of course this is Veronica and her son NC…early is the family motto)  and at first I was a little concerned. What was going to happen, who was this Celine person, was she nice.

I needen’t worry. She’s just ADORABLE! AND there is a huge box of toys. Just to make us happy. Real cool. Veronica had brought loads of candy, well of course! I don’t work for free!!

Veronica did not want her picture in this post.

Stupidly enough she told the family; “Men Mamma, du måste naturligtvis ha foton av dig med!!” (Mom, you’ve got to have a picture of you too)

Even stupider she asked for their advice on which one to pick! Obviously that started  a never ending discussion…via SMS, ridiculous!

She’s such a softie when it comes to the children. She’s pathetic, she can’t say no. She used to be this very stubborn, strict rules kind of Mom…what’s happened to her?

Old age probably…Wish she would be a softie with me too. But NO I have to obey and follow all the rules. Indya agrees with me on this one!

I just love having my picture taken. As soon as Veronica takes her iPhone out, I pose! I can sit on benches, stones, walls, wherever she wants me to.

I’m such a perfect Model. I’m astonished I don’t get publicity agencies seeking me out to work for them. I’d be perfect! AND, I could get free samples!!

“Felicia, the Boxer, loves Orijen”. (I do love Orijen, Veronica tried to trick me into eating another brand… thought she could fool me…ha, who does she think she’s dealing with?? I’m a connoisseur!)

I turn my head. I know Veronica likes me to look up, down, on the side and I do my best. I kind of like my profile.

I am a star, what an adorable face. I mean the fact is I have MY OWN BLOG! That’s something!

Celine clicks away, and I take my best poses, looking alert and beautiful. It does help that NC has candy ready for me in between poses.

Lying down relaxed. Veronica sometimes takes a long time to get the perfect pic. That’s ok, I just stay put until she tells me “Perfekt Felicia, gott.”  (Perfect Felicia, treat)

Celine on the other hand is a professional, she has a special Camera and takes loads of photos. And they’re all great!

A profile view, head between paws. I know people think this is very cute! Yes it is!

Felicia in sitting position. Veronica was so happy “Bravo! Du är så duktig Felicia” (Your doing very well Felicia)

Here I’m grabbing a treat.

Look at this expression; Little Boxer Felicia, adorable, sweet, kind, innocent and obedient. What’s not to like?

I know Veronica says she has a story or two about my so called “mischiefs”, they’re NOT. They’re just misunderstandings. I might tell you about them, and I’m sure, you’ll take my side!

Celine loves all dogs. Look at all these bully pups, aren’t they adorable. Told you, she does magic.

You see how perfect my pose is?

Indya does not like having her pic taken. She always turns her head, or runs away. She has no patience. I think she finds this whole business ridiculous.

Can it be because VH jog with her all the time? (VH, here’s an idea: run less with her!)

Bet you Celine could make her stay put though!

This, I think, is Veronica’s favorite, I agree, it’s very nice. I look important. This could be used in a campaign:

Vote for Boxer Felicia, she has power! She will make the world a better place.

Actually I do have an idea or two about how to improve our rights. (Off the top of my head; all sofas and beds should be dog friendly.)

Veronica and I have a very strong and special bond. I rely on her and I love to be close to her. We belong together!

This in my favorite. It reminds me of my Mom, Ondra.

Ondra von der Hansjakobstadt

She was in a photo shoot too. (Not with Celine) Look at her, we’re just the same. She always put her head down, just like me.

Veronica loved her, that’s why she wanted one of her puppies. She had to leave for Fairyland not long after my birth, so very sad. Andy and Jacky were devastated.

She’s with my Lego now, bet you they’re having fun!

Celine you’re a magician!  You make me look amazing, beautiful, powerful and also very sweet!

Can I come back?

Thank you Celine for all the lovely pictures and your patience with my Felicia.

I highly recommend Celine she is a wonderful photographer:
