Gizmo is running out of chewing sticks

Toppy chewing sticks from Netto in Sweden
Gizmo is a dog who knows what he wants. So any kind of chewing stick won’t do, it has to be a specific type. His favourite chewing stick is “Toppy” that is sold by “Netto” in Sweden. I brought maybe 8 packages when we moved here and I bought a couple of more when I was home during summer. But now I think we are on the last package. So on top of Gizmo’s Christmas wish-list is more Toppy chewing sticks.
…and of course a new beach tennis ball, like the one he got on his birthday.
7 cats

Opposite our house is an overgrown plot where a lot of cats hang out. We often hear the noise of cat fights in the evenings. Today when took Gizmo for a walk I saw 7 cats and there were probably even more cats hiding in the bushes.
Gizmo is very interested in the cats and wants to say hi, and there is one black and white cat that is less reserved than the others… but I think it will take some time before he/she lets Gizmo come near.
Gizmo’s birthday gift didn’t last long
06048 days
The ball I gave Gizmo on his birthday November 4th, is already in pieces. The previous pink ball he had, lasted at least one and a half year, so I’m a bit disappointed. Well, he had fun with it for a few weeks anyway.
Oh yeah, If you happen to have spare beach ball balls… or know where to buy them separately – please let me know!
Swedish candy

I just read on En plats i solen that there is a new store in St. Julians that sells SWEDISH candy! It’s called Candynavia. I miss Ostbågar and Dillchips! But as it looks now I could be eating ostbågar next weekend! Happy!
I’m definitely going there later this week!

- Halland in Malta
…and for you who doesn’t understand the joke; Halland is a province in Sweden.
Christmas dinner is saved!

I’ve found Findus “Klassiska & goda” meat balls in one of the stores nearby. I knew they had Findus frozen vegetables, but I’ve never seen meat balls here before.
Gizmo’s 11th birthday
06062 days
Today Gizmo is turning 11 years old.
Wow, we’ve been through a lot together now. I fell in love with the little guy the very first time I saw him – he was the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen – of course… 
Gizmo loves small rubber balls, the ones that usually comes in the beach ball set. He has a pink one that he plays with a lot and he’d had it since last summer. But now it is about to give up so I bought a new ball that I gave him today. Well, actually I had to buy the whole set, so if anyone wants 2 beach ball rackets, you let me know, right?!
