Dogs in Cars from keith on Vimeo.

dogs-in-cars.. that’s all. thank you

some are annoying, some are smooth slimey salesmen, some are funny and then there was ‘deetje’, a 100% pure ‘Amsterdammer’ no B.S., funny and larger than life. he always had heaps of stories to tell from the road, an avid Ajax supporter and one of the few reps that were invited for lunch (we lived behind the store) whenever he dropped by. he even paid his respect at my dads funeral.

it’s sad to hear that he passed away last week at 94,  my mum pointed me to this little video of his time at the local TV station commentating on Ajax. it gives you a small glimpse of how he was.

rest in peace deetje !

the way they look at you, you can tell they are trying to figure you out. they are proven to have people recognition skills. they can identify individual people and remember who chases them away, who feeds them and who leaves them alone and they adapt their behaviour accordingly. quite smart animals so unlike those dumb mynas around here.

a couple of crows were swooping floydy today, which is a bit unusual behavior for the ones around here. i quickly saw that the reason was that their almost full grown young had fallen out of the nest, and they were only trying to protect it.
