A Cool Present

I got a really cool present from a colleague yesterday:


A matching hat and scarf!

It was cold outside yesterday so they really came in handy as well.

Thanks :-D

Sudden Hippo

When my owner and me arrived at work this morning there suddenly was a hippo standing on our computer. It turned out a co-worker (who knows my owner loves hippos) brought the hippo and left it there as a surprise for us. How cool!

A Fun Evening and Presents

Thursday evening my owner and me went to a house-warming party of one of our colleagues.

It was a really fun evening with lots of yummy food, fun people and good times.

And chocolate...

And Dropshot!
We had to work the next day so I tried to go easy on the Dropshot. I think I succeeded: I didn't have a terrible hangover the next morning.


On other news:
some more birthday presents arrived!

I got these two books from the amazing Susi.
Thanks Susi, I'm looking forward to reading them.

And my owner's brother send us this really cool CD.
Thanks, we'll be listening to it often!

Frank and a Mug

Today I discovered that my co-worker Frank the Sheep has his own Christmas card! I must bug my owner so she'll make Christmas cards of me next year as well.

I might not be on a Christmas card, but I did get a mug today!

Kerstpakket

Today we got a big Christmas package from the company where my owner works.

I was very curious what was inside, but my owner took her time in opening the package.

Come on!
Hurry up already!

Finally the tape was removed and I could look inside.

It was filled with all kinds of tasty food and even a fun puzzle.

Yum!

I'm looking forward to Christmas.
Just two more days!

Christmas Mail

Today at work we got a Christmas card from a co-worker and she had put a chocolate Christmas ornament on the envelope. How fun! We put the ornament in our tree when we got home.

We also got two packages today!
We got a beautiful card and a present for under the Christmas tree from my owner's friend Jan and we got a card, minty chocolate and a cool Piglet Pez dispenser from Jerry & Ben.

Thanks everyone for all the awesome Christmas cards and presents!

Why I Almost Fainted Today!

When my owner and me arrived at work today a co-worker told us Sinterklaas had visited our department. I was disappointed that I'd missed his visit, but our co-worker had made a photo of Sinterklaas to show us.

And Sinterklaas left us a present!
There was a poem attached to the present telling us our hard work is appriciated.

The present was speculaas with almond paste filling!

Yum!

After hearing all about Sinterklaas' visit, me and my owner started our work.

But then.......

Sinterklaas dropped by again!
It was a very grand moment for me to meet him! He even posed with me for a picture. I was very nervous and being held by Sinterklaas almost made me faint.

This is a moment I'll never forget!

Candy and yet another Hat

I got a bag of candy from one of our co-workers at work today!

And we bought another hat.
This one is red and I gave it to my brother Dougal because it matches his pants.

A Bottle with a Hat

On our way to work my owner bought something to drink. I was a bit surprised to see that the bottle she bought was wearing a hat!

As the hat looked warm and was about my size I tried it on of course. I'm all set for winter now!

Candy and another Mandala

Today we got candy at work and one of my co-workers found pig-shaped candy for me.

While my owner was working I made another Mandala. I can understand why G. and Hammie like them so much.

Work on Saturday

Today my owner had to work so I went with her of course. I spend most day hanging out in my owner's bag.

I got an apple for lunch!

And now I can finally start my weekend.
I'm going to read The Spirit Thief, book 1 in the Eli Monpress series. My mailman finished reading the book so delivered it yesterday.*

*I won the first three books in the Eli Monpress series over at Mel's Random Reviews and book 2 and 3 arrived last Monday.

Sea Monsters, Work and Bob

I got another book in the mail!
I won this Jane Austen mash-up over at vvB32 Reads.

Velvet: Thanks, you always have the coolest giveaways.

Today I helped my owner out at work again.
I don't know how she'd get her work done without me.

In our break I got to chose a snack and I picked piggy candy.

One of our co-workers had a pretty bow thing in her cubicle.
I had to check that out of course.

And I saw this Spongebob binder!
Isn't it cool!?

And now it's time for weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone.

A New Friend and Lots of Pigs

I made a new friend at work today.
This is Tom and he came from a Cabbage Patch he told me. His owner brought him to work so we all could meet him.

What's this, an army of pigs?

These Piggy Bank pigs were waiting for me when I got home from work. They were send to my owner's OtherHalf because he made the illustrations that are painted on their sides.

See!
These piggy banks will be sold at gift stores, so people can buy them as a present for birthdays and other special occassions, like when someone retires from work or gets married and stuff like that.

Temptation

One of our co-workers had home made muffins for lunch today.
So tempting!!!
I must bug my owner into baking some for us soon.

Work and Mail

It was very nice weather today, so during our breaks I went to the balcony where I enjoyed the sun and the view.

When we got home there was mail from the US with lots of stamps on it.

It turned out to be mail from the Moira Rogers duo.
I had won bookmarks and lots of beautiful cards in one of their giveaways.

Thanks Bree and Donna!

Killer Whales

Look what I got from a collegue at work today:
Candy Killer Whales!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Birthday Fun Continued!

Today was the first day after our birthday that me and my owner had to work again and when we got there they had decorated our desk!





Weeeh!
This is so much fun!

And we even got presents!
A big thank you to our co-workers for the presents and the cheerful desk!
