bellatif's blog post - Sissy and Sassy

Saturday afternoon I had to baby-sit. Well, wasn’t really a baby, but the two dogs of Mrs. Tinkerbell. To keep it short, her husband is not feeling good and had to go to the hospital. It are times like this that you have to be there for your neighbours. I just hope he gets better.

Anyhow, Saturday afternoon she dropped of Sissy and Sassy. Sitting there with her two Chihuahua dogs in my couch I was thinking what to do. There is only one thing I like to do when bf is away. Getting dirty… in the kitchen. I have days that I just want to bake cookies, cakes, pies,... And Saturday was such a day.

So while I was making my kitchen dirty (and also myself, flour was flying everywhere) the phone went. A friend had left something behind, so after I looked for it in my study I went back to my kitchen. Trying to create the perfect chocolate/lemon cake (my spontaneous own recipe, don’t really believe in numbers, just mix things I think will taste good. And no, I don’t have weed over here, so no weed cookies nut ball).

After some time I notice that one of the dogs was missing. While I was putting everything in the oven I called her name. But no reaction. So walked to the dinning room, to the living room, back to the kitchen,... Nothing. You must know we live in a flat, so you can’t really get lost. So walking back to the living room I notice I had opened the window. My heart stopped. Now I was in panic. Quickly I walked to the balcony, hoping Sissy hadn’t been there. Such a tiny Chihuahua dog could easily fit between the bars of the balcony. So standing there on the balcony, I quickly looked down. And luckily no death dog on the curb. Such a big relief. I would have felt awful if that would happened. And how would I have explain that to mrs. Tinkerbell. She already has so many worries now.

Although I was relief that the dog was still in my flat and alive, at that moment I was thinking alot. Maybe she is under the bed, or maybe behind the fridge, or ... Where can a little dog hide herself. So I start to look everywhere, calling her name,... And yah, finally I found her. She was in the supply room (don’t know if that is the right name, but the little room with shelves where u store extra food, beer, candies, ironing board,...all the junk u don’t like to put in u kitchen)

I was so relieved, and Sissy seems to be in good company. She had found a box of cereals on one of the lower shelves. And yah, this little doggy was smarter then u would think. I only hope it didn’t cause any troubles afterwards with mrs Tinkerbell, seeing these were like very old cereals. Hmmmm,...eeeeeeuuuuuwwww!!

Who thought looking after a dog was so hard. But I was so glad I had her back. And yah, I will not tell you about how she peed all over my place, but she is adorable.

After that I was just in time to take my cake out of the oven. And it was so yummy. I think I’m still a bit high of yesterday. Hmmm, maybe I did use...
