Life in Germ, Beer and Pretzels, oh whatever!?!: July 2006

About Me

Location: Icking, Bavaria, Germany

I'm a Brittany Spaniel who came from Southwestern France. I'm a very friendly guy who loves to hunt birds and dig for mice. I like to go on adventure hikes and play with other friendly dogs. My dad is my best friend because he is fun, but I love my mom too because she feeds me. They are both crazy about me and I take full advantage of this at all times. My full name is Uben Berndl Tangerine Hertwig. Berndl sounds like my dad's name (Bernd) but with an l which also sounds like Dirndl since I live in Bavaria. Tangerine because I'm orange.

Look at these cute little faces

This is a group of girls at the Humble Hearts school for the deaf in Nairobi, Kenya where we are now sponsoring a little girl and a teacher. For me they are just too adorable for words so I won't write any.

Mom and Dad

For those of you who have never gotten a look at my parental units, here they are! Are they cute or what? I feel so fortunate that they are both plodding along in relatively good health, although the one thing I would wish for is that they could bear the flight over here to check out life in Germ for themselves. My mom will see this on her computer at work, and I am DAMNED proud of the fact that she learned to use a computer at her age (84...and still working!!!)
Mom, print this for dad!

Bush's visit to Germany

I heard today on the news that George Bush is coming to visit Germany and will see the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. My German husband referred to this as the meeting of "Dumb and Dumber." In honor of Bush's visit, please note my new anti-war link on the left side of the page with a nice message if you run your mouse over it. And feel free to click on it of course.
