Welcome to our blogg.

We thought this would be a nice way to keep our friends and family updated about what we are up to! And for us to have some kind of diary, to save for the future when we move back home to Sweden. We choose to write in English so all our friend could read it=) (and it's also good practice for me)

About us

Dubai
We are a family of four, and one dog and six guinea pigs (and one cat that lives in Blentarp, Sweden) We moved to Dubai a year ago, Henrik is working here and Ingela is a housewife and both children are in school. Victoria is 7 years old and Cornelia is 5 years old. They are in grade 1 and 2. When they started school here, Victoria just started school in Sweden and didn't speak any English and Cornelia where still in kindergarten in Sweden and didn't speak any English either. Now a year later they speak English and writes and read English as well. They also learn Arabic in school. After some difficulties it seams like they enjoy school and our life here, and that feels very good. If they like it here it's easier for us to also relax and enjoy our stay here in Dubai. And now we have one more member of our family, a streetcat named Stripy, Findus, Nisse, Tiger and Findus=), and also one more guinea pig has died, so 5 guinea pigs left.

Enja van het wantishof 28/8-2005 -- 1/2-2011

On the morning of the first of February we had to take Enja to the veterinary. She had been coughing for a couple of days and this morning it was much worse, there was pink saliva spots on the floor and she had real problems breathing.
When we got there, the vet said it looked really bad, there where something wrong with her heart. They took some pics of her heart and the heart was larger then normal and it didn't work properly.
She got some medicine that should work but it didn't do Enja any good. She had oxygen through her nose so the breathing was a bit easier for her but she was still struggling with it. She had much liquid in her lungs and it didn't come out.
Henrik & I sat with her for three hours and we could not see any improvement at all. So we had to diced to give her the injection where she will no longer be with us, and that was the worst thing ever.

Have done that before but then the dogs have been old and they have had a long and happy life, this was just too early and she has been healthy and active all the time so it's a big chock to us and we can still not understand anything.




The house is so empty and still. She was always so happy and friendly. It's so strange not have her around me all the time, she was always following me around.

Henrik and I went for a walk yesterday evening and it felt so strange without her.
Now I have to go for a run without her and that will sure be empty, and all my walks that have been such a joy and struggle is now over and I was not prepared for that, I was just not ready for this. I just don't what it to be true, but true it is and it feels so strange.

I will miss you so much Enja.

  2. Att någon dag behöva skiljas från sin kära hund/familjemedlem, är inget man tänker på den dagen man får hem sin lilla valp. Att hjälpa en gammal, och i bland sjuk hund, att få somna in är inte lätt och än svårare måste det vara med en, till synes, frisk och livlig hund.
    Ni får försöka tänka på de roliga och fina stunderna ni hade tillsammans med Enja och jag vet att det är svårt.:´-( MEN det går..man måste bara våga tänka tanken.

    Skickar dig och din familj många stärkande kramar!
