August 25, 2017 - The Great Kayak Challenge & Festival in Timmins

August 25, 2017

More packing was going on in the morning. The humans packed Marc’s truck. At about 10:30 am the humans, Diesel and I left in the truck, pulling the big canoe on a trailer. My mistress told me that we would go to Timmins to the Great Kayak Challenge & Festival.
The humans set up everything there and I could lie underneath the table and sleep.

I need to admit I emptied the trash while the humans picked up the canoe last night. There were chicken bones in the trash and I ate them all. Today I don’t feel good – my stomach hurts and I have diarrhea. Last night I had to go out twice and my mistress had to let me out. I feel sorry for that but I urgently had to go.

Tim set up his table with a lot of pictures, paddles, the two canoes, books and much more. He even showed videos about the “Power of the Canoe”.

My master and my mistress set up a table with their balloons and they twisted for the kids. This afternoon they weren’t too busy but it was only Friday and two more days to go.
They were a lot of people and a lot of music. In the evening the concerts started and it was really loud. I hid underneath the table and could watch everybody without being seen.
My humans and I slept in the trailer on the matrasses. It was very cold and I was shaking because it was so cold. When my master saw that he let me sleep on his mattress next to his feet.

Buffalo farm, herding dogs and living in Serrone - February 9, 2022

Image
After living in Italy for about a month now I can say I love it. The climate is perfect for me and my old bones and whenever the weather is good my humans leave the office door open so that Mogli and I can lie outside on the patio in the sun. We made tours to some towns around here, for example Olevano Romano. And we’ve been to the centro storico of Serrone, our hometown. Boy I can tell you, these roads up there are crazy, steep roads, 25-degree bends and on one side of the road the mountain and on the other side steep gradient.    Smørrebrød, smørrebrød, remtemtemtem, Lupo what are you blogging about? Are you telling our readers about our drive up to the top of Monte Scalambra? Don’t be a fraidy-cat, it's fun driving up there. I wish we could have run around free and chase the wild horses down the hill. I wish I could join one of the paragliders that fly down there. That must be great!     Oh, Mogli you are a diehard! The poor horses - I’m sure they were happy that you c

Mogli. loves joggers - September 15, 2021

 My mistress is busy painting walls, doors, ceilings and furniture. Because my humans do "Living for work" they help around the house wherever help is needed. In return they can live in a room, apartment or camper for free and sometimes even food is included. So, my mistress goes painting a few hours every day whereas my master does other things, like repairs.  I can't smell much chemicals when my mistress comes back after doing paint jobs. She uses chalk colors. In the pictures you can see some things she painted. before - after After my humans finish their work around here, they work on their software or walk us dogs. Sometimes we walk up the hill to the big cross or to the little oratory. Other times we drive to the woods or to the field on top on one of the hills. Mogli and I can run free there. We both love running free, but I get tired easily. I have to admit, I am getting oder and calmer, whereas the young fellow Mogli never gets tired. He is having so much fun whe

Mediterranean Sea and running free in Broccostella – October 17, 2021

Image
We left early the next morning. The humans had breakfast at the B&B while Mogli and I waited patiently in our room. Next stop was Broccostella where we would stay for a couple of days.   Again my humans chose to drive along the coastline as long as possible and luckily they did because shortly after we left Piombino my master saw a sign with “dog beach” written on it. Finally, Mogli and I could feel sand under our paws, feel the sun on our fur and run on the beach. Mogli wasn’t sure if he liked it, he was very skeptical about this weird feeling on the paws and the salty, moving water. After a while he loved it but he did not go into the water. I tried to walk into the sea but it was cold – too cold for me anyways. We spent more than half an hour on the beach before we went back to the car and drove on.   In the early afternoon we arrived in Broccostella, at the Agriturismo La Pesca Villa www.facebook.com/agriturismolapesca. Miriam, the owner, welcomed us warmly and showed
