Within a week or arriving in my new home I quickly learned that there were multiple words for saying the same thing. At home I was spoken to in English, in the Hundeschule (dog training)\u00a0 I had to respond to German and then on my first road trip I was introduced to Dutch!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

3 lanuages and I was not yet 6 months old! Hows that for being a clever pup \ud83d\ude00 Of course I am naturally selective to which language I respond to, and it is amusing watching my humans try all 3 to see which one I will decide to respond to.\u00a0 However back to my 1st road trip.<\/p>\n

This brings me nicely to introducing my second home in the Netherlands. I was only 4 months old when I was bundled into the car and driven to Amsterdam to meet Oma and Opa. Very quickly I made myself at home in the garden and I was keen to make sure the plants were well protected.<\/p>\n

Amsterdam has some lovely walks on offer, my\u00a0 morning walk along the canals is always relaxing especially when Opa walks with me! But my favourite has to be a trip to the beach.<\/p>\n
