We love spending time at our vacation house in Velika Ves – the girls enjoy the big field. During all the kerfuffle with work, getting the mortgage and then fixing up the new house in Terneuzen – and then the arrival of all the STUFF – we have not spent much time at all in our favourite place. So once we had a clear schedule, we jumped into the van and travelled down here.
With help from the neighbours, it took the first week to sort out the back field which was chest-high with overgrown weeds, bracken, bramble, thornbushes (possibly wild roses but no roses). Thankfully after the first pass, it is short enough that the dogs can all get out and move around. One of the things with Dachshunds as my pack is to remember that their short legs mean things that are quite OK for us can be tough for them.
Makar and Belle don’t know this place as well as the older girls, the girls started getting really excited long before we arrived on our 10 hour drive overnight, because I know they recognised our break places on the way. When we got here they couldn’t wait to go in the field….so I am very glad it is now short enough that they can have fun. Here is Belle in the foreground, starting to get the hang of it! Tolka is already fatter from her mole and mouse hunting.
Our little placed here is up for sale by the owner, so we hope it takes a LONG time to sell because we would be very sorry to have to leave it. AND we are playing the lottery hoping for a win so we can buy it!
