June 13th 1997:
After we had been
waiting for over ˝ a year, we went to Sweeden to pick up our new "baby". She was very calm in
the car, first she was playing around with my daughter Stine's long hair, then she fell to
sleep. No sickness at all.
When we got home, we left her in the car while Jackson was feed. Jackson then went out for a
walk. In the meantime Mahilia was shown around the house.
Then the big moment came along.
I was sitting on the floor with Jackson and Stine came in and placed Mahilia down on the floor.
Jackson was very excited, his tail sounded like a drumstick on the floor, Mahilia didn't yell,
no she was screaming when she saw him and tried desperately to run away.
Then Stine had to sit down on the floor and slowly crawl towards Jackson with Mahilia in her
lap, Jackson was wild with joy.
| ...Do you think
he's dangerous, he is huge... ...Oh she smells nice…I like her….do you think she wants to play?.... |
|
Filled with terror Mahilia let Jackson
smell and lick her, after a while she calmed down, when she discovered that Jackson was
friendly. (Thank God that he is such a good dog).
Then they started to play and she could borrow all his toys without any problems, there was
just one problem. When he pulled with his usual power Mahilia had a small flying experience.
But all the toy animal she was allowed to have.
When we went to bed that night I put a quilt next to my bed. Then I kicked Jackson down from
the bed where he used to sleep. He understood the meaning and went down to sleep next to
Mahilia.
And belive it or not they slept nicely all night. It is the fitst time I´ve had a puppie that
didn't cry at bedtime.

...Oh, now he opens his mouth and licks me. It feels so nice... |
June 14th 1997:
She is so small. Much
smaller than Jackson was. She seems so fragile, that we are checking up on her all the time.
I don't think she eats enough. She is only willing to eat when she is sitting on my lap and I
have my fingers in her food, or ( and here is no need for comments) when I handfeed her.
Otherwise she is happy and the tail is up. She has been out in the garden, where she managed to
bite off the top on all the flowers in the pots. So now we have moved them.
She is so charming, I am totally lost.
Mahilia also talkes a lot. She always try to tell me her needs. 3 times this night she was
waking me to tell me something or to check that I was there. Once she was telling that Jackson
had left her and was sleeping in my bed. After I kicked him down she was completely satisfied
and went to sleep again.
Jackson has learned himself to bark without a sound comming out. I think that it is because he
don't want to wake Mahilia from her sleep, when he sees the chance to some peace, so he can get
some sleep himself.
He was sleeping on the sofa next to me this evening, and everything was nice and quiet Mahilia
was sleeping on the floor. Somebody walked by outside and Jackson barked by breathing loudely,
not a bark sound came over his lips.
He is still very nice to Mahilia and today they were hunting each other in the garden. Mahilia
is not able to follow Jackson, she is stumbling over her own legs. She is very fond of him and
is searching for him when he's not in sight.
Did you know that Begonias are very nice in vases? I have to like them because they all drop like
flies, when 2 dogs are running by.
June 15th 1997:
Mahilia woke me up this morning and then we had to eat. First the food into the bowl and it was
sat down before her. She looked at me, then she whines and looks at me again. Well, then I sit
down on the floor, and she jumps on my lap, sits down with her back to my stomach. Then she
whines again, looks at me and then on the spot on my legs where the bowl is supposed to stand.
OK, then the bowl is lifted on to the legs. Then she eats a bit, whines again, looks at me and
at the bowl. OK, then my fingers are stuck into the food in the bowl, then she starts eating
with no problem.
It can't go on like this, at some point it is going to be a normal day with work. So today at
lunchtime I was planning on cheating her. So in her dogfood I mixed some strawberry yoghurt
with water. She really liked that and forgot that she couldn't eat on her own, she just eat it
all in no time.
Ha, ha, ha, what a great psychologist the world missed in me.
Fortunately she is also sleeping sometimes, so I can get some work done.
Oh, now Mahilia is comming, she is wet on her stomach. Then there is no point in letting her out. Now I have to see if I can find the place of the accident.
June 21st 1997:
Now we have had Mahilia for about a week. As every day has gone by Jackson and Mahilia has
grown more and more fond of each other.
They play for many hours everyday. Mahilia pulling his beard, and trying to pull him around in
his collar.
She also runs under him (she is just able to stand under his stomach) and tryes to pull his
penis. When she gets a good grip with her teeth Jackson runs for his life. Then the hunting
season begins in the house. Sometimes Jackson is in front with some interesting in his mouth.
Sometimes it is Mahilia in the front position.
Everything can be used for pulling purpuse, old socks, toy animals and old bones. Everything.
Mahilia stole a nice used sock from my daughters room. Jackson was very troubled because he
knows that this wasn't legal. But he gave in, and suddenly he found himself pulling in the
other end of the sock until I came along and saved it.
