Travelog for: Cosyfuzz

I arrived safe and sound at Boris Kitty's house, but his Human2 scooped me up and took me to work with her. So when I came out to say hello I was no where near Boris. I am told I will meet him later.



But I did get a chance to meet with a fellow German, Ziggy who is also being hosted by Boris Kitty.

Ziggy is very nice too. While we were there we also got to meet Germain he is also a proud German. We hung out with him a little on the desk of Human2's co-worker for awhile speaking German until we realized Human2 could speak a little German. But no worries as we were speaking only good things about everyone.



Germain iz coming home with us to Boris Kitty's house so that we might have some fun over the Christmas weekend.

I also met Boris' pal Edgar. He was dressed as Santa Claus and hanging out by the office Xmas tree with his friend Rudy (a reindeer). So I went over to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what I would like for Christmas.

I finally got to meet Boris himself! He is a very nice kitty cat.



Boris knows how much I LOVE carrots and asked if I was hungry. We all gathered around to share one of the biggest carrots I have ever seen! Here is a picture of me, Boris, Ziggy, Rudy the Reindeer and Edgar daKitty eating carrots.



This did not quite meet my goal of eating carrots with five friends. So I asked if anyone else would like some carrots. Here I am eating carrots with Piper.



Then her sister asked me to come share her carrot too. That's five new friends! I did it!



That Boris sure does like his carrots! He must be part bunny!

It is Christmas Eve and Human2's family always gets together for a BIG family dinner and visits from Santa and the Belsnickel. The Belsnickel is a Pennsylvania German tradition from the 19th century that is not practiced any more, unless your part of this Haas clan. He carries a bundle of sticks to spank bad children...That Belsnickel sounds kind of scary.

But first we had dinner and played in the "snow" on the table.



Then we checked out some of the family photos from Christmases past with Edgar.



Then it was time for Santa to visit and of course he brought along that Belsnickel with his switches to swat anybody who has been bad this year.



When it was our turn we had been good so we did not get hit by his bundle of sticks!



Many kids in the US are afraind of Santa Claus but if they all had a Belsnickel visiting them as well they would REALLY have a reason to be afraid!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas Day is a busy day around here. First we got up and got ready to travel to Human2's family for Christmas lunch then it was off to Human1's family for more festivities. The humans exchanged gifts while we listened to Christmas songs.



And checked out the Christmas Tree (we loved the spaceships best).



We were having a great time, especially after being frightened by that Belsnickel last night. We even thought we were safe from him here, but NO!

The Belsnickels were here too! And so many!



Ziggy and I had to run before they could catch us!



When we got back to our host's house we were told that we could help Edgar open up his gifts be fore we went off to bed.



His first gift was a fun fishing pole. He said it is too cold to go fishing now though.



The next present was a neat rake and shovel so Edgar can help out with the lawn work in the Autumn.



His last gift was a neat garden set so he can plant things this Spring. He likes working in his garden.



Finally we hung  up our hats and said good night. It has been a very busy day indeed.

Today we are going to be playing with one of Human2's Christmas gifts. We are to build a LEGO Superheroes set with Batman and Catwoman!



First you dump all the bits out and look over the instructions. Edgar is going to be in charge of the instructions for us.



Then you put the mini figures together. I like the Catwoman best -- "MEOW"!  Ziggy the Dragon likes Batman best because he has wings like his.



Then we built Catwoman's motorcycle -- VROOM VROOOOOOOM!!!



In no time at all Batman was chasing Catwoman through the streets of Gotham city!

Today Human2 was off from work. We got to sleep in but when we got up we had to get ready for an appointment. We were going to the dentist with her.

We met the very nice Dr. Andrea who would be drilling and filling Human2's teeth.



We got comfy in the chair.



But the instruments were a little scary...



...so we thought we should check out the equipment. The lights look fine (and they're fun to swing from)!



But those drills they are REALLY scary. But you know what? Human2 had her teeth drilled without getting a shot of Novocaine! Can you believe that?



When her teeth were all fixed it was time to rinse and spit! We don't normally spit but since it is a requirement at the dentist we really got into it!



Thank you Dr Andrea for a very nice visit to the dentist office.

This was to be my last day here in Pennsylvania so Human2 decided to take me along to work and show me her new office. The company she works for just bought a new warehouse and she now has her very own office. She works for DogToys.com, Inc. and they are very animal friendly (even very plush animal friendly).

When I first got to the office I noticed a cool sign she has there.



Then I saw this weird little house with something growing inside it. I was told that it was a green house.



And that the plant inside it was catnip for my host kitties, Boris, Piper, Phoebe and Tippy. But it will not go home to them until it is at least three Cosyfuzzes high.



Ziggy and I got to meet the gang in the office. That's the famous Pets.com sock puppet -- he doesn't have a job any more. He said he is retired. The big guy is very funny and makes big loud chimp sounds that made me laugh and laugh.



Then we had to get down to work. First we helped her write up descriptions of the new cat and dog treats to post to the websites.



Then we got to meet even more friends and help write up their descriptions too. These are not travelers like me, they are looking for forever homes with dogs that will love them very much. I am told it does not hurt them when they are squeezed for the loud squeaks that come out of them. Although the duck does look a little worried does he not?



At the end of the day it was time for me to pack my things and get ready for my next adventure. I filled out all my paperwork.



And said goodbye to my new friends.



So I am off to meet some more new friends! Bye Bye Edgar -- Please tell Boris and gang I had lots of fun hanging out with you!

Hi Momy,

I had a great weekend in Fritzlar, hostmum Andrea was born    there

and goes there regularly, good for me .....

In the background you can see the cathedral and in the half-

timbered house Andrea grew up







I want to tell you something about the Cathedral..

The Cathedral of Fritzlar measures 43 meters (from the basement to the top). He continues to shape the cityscape of the small town in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis (formerly Circle Fritzlar-Homberg). The three-aisled basilica in Fritzlar is considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque-Gothic churches in Hesse.

built and rebuilt several times, combines the Cathedral of St. Peter Roman and Gothic styles. In the oldest part of the Fritzlarer Domes are the crypts, which can also be viewed as the Cathedral, which, amongst other things, "Henry Cross" and some of the oldest monstrances the German-speaking.

Here you see the "Grey Tower", and a rabbit freezing 



The 37 meter high tower was mentioned in 1274 for the first time

The"Grey Tower" is one of the highest municipal watchtower still standing in Germany.

That's part of the old city wall and a beautiful view...



The Town Hall in Fritzlar originated in Roman times (also called "bailiwick") and was first mentioned in documents in 1109,
very old......



The town hall is decorated with a stone relief from the 1441 Holy St. Martin, the patron saint of Fritzlar.

a warm up....



Carnival is celebrated in Fritzlar, not as in Cologne and Mainz, but

there are also many carnival events.

I was allowed to participate ... hostmum Andreas granddaughter is

an "Tanzmariechen" sorry , no translation 





that was a nice trip..

bye, bye huggs and kisses

Hello Mummy,

I visited the Marienburg and I must tell you a story about......

The Main Building "Marienburg" or is there really dwarvs?

There was once a queen who was the pain out of court life so she asked her husband to build her a small, rustic hunting lodge, in that they could escape the hustle and bustle in the capital city occasionally. The king, his wife joined in an intimate love, hence their desire to buy a small mountain just outside the city and as the queen celebrated her 39th Birthday, the king give her this mountain and the castle to be built out yet. This mountain was named by then on the Marienberg.







Then the king asked the country's best architects to build a castle. And because the king came from an old family, the castle was a castle to be modeled. Gewing to ten years the castle was completed. And the castle was called Marienburg and was continued on the private property of Queen Marie.







The Marie Berg was a legendary place from time immemorial. They say today that dwarfs who inhabit it. You could build monuments to honor the queen, of course, within a reasonable size. And if you carefully look around the castle, they will also discover ...



All just a myth? No, it's probably been there and the relevant certificates are the historians.



Good luck Marie with her castle had not. In 1866 she was with her daughter Mary, which relate to the castle is still under construction. In the course of June 1866, King George V and his troops lost in the Battle of Langensalza against the Kingdom of Prussia and had to go into exile. The queen was permitted to remain on her lap, but on condition that the Hanoverian court had to be replaced by a Prussian. This condition was not acceptable to the queen and her daughter, after which they Marienburg  Left in July 1867 and followed the king into exile.

From 1869 the castle stood empty for nearly 80 years. ....best time for dwarvs



After the Second World War, the Guelphs returned to the southern region of Hanover. Today, the castle that is situated between Pattensen-Schulenburg and Hildesheim, no longer inhabited. However, it houses a museum (15 can be visited by approximately 100 spaces), a catering establishment as well as rooms for festive occasions and representative.

There remains the question to be answered by the dwarves. With any degree of certainty they can not be answered, because who knows what is hidden in the depths of the rock or what happens when the castle gates were closed and the last visitors have left the mountain?



what a story........

huggs and kisses for you

Mummy, Mummy.....

look what happened, I fulfilled a lifemission.....

here the evidence photo, sorry for the scarf, but I was so excited



I meet another TV bunny, it is Hoppsi

love you Mummy
