March 13, 2018 – Walmart

Ok, this is crazy, even to me. Remember I told you I am an official Emotional Dog? Today my humans took me with them again. They said they need to do some groceries and as they are still afraid I might eat another poisoned mouse they take me with them when they both leave the house. Today it was quite warm outside, about 24°C/75F and it get’s hot in the car. The other times they took me to a place called Walmart I had to stay in the car, but today they wanted to take me inside.
I don’t really know what Walmart is but I know that when they bring home food for me that say they have been to Walmart and they get all this good stuff there which I am not allowed to eat because it is “HUMAN FOOD”. Don’t you think that’s wrong, Dog food and human food and cat food and fish food and so on? Why can’t we eat all the same food? I admit human food smells way better than my food but my food comes in a bag or a can and they just have to fill that into my bowl while they have to prepare their food in many different ways.

Sorry, I got sidetracked again. Food always sidetracks me – grin!

Where was I, ah yes, Walmart. Well, this time my humans took me with them to Walmart, I mean inside the store not in the car.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! Food everywhere. This is paradise for me. Human food, cat food, dog food, food for horses, chicken, fish, …
Can I just stay here and try everything? I don’t think so.
My master pushed a cart where he put in all the stuff they wanted to purchase and my mistress was with me. They said I behaved very well. I wanted to sniff everywhere and say hello to everybody, but there was too much to smell and too many people to say hello to. I stayed with my mistress and tried not to put my nose everywhere. As a reward for good behavior my humans got me a new Nylabone – with peanut butter flavor. Yummy!!!!
Don’t tell me you do not know what a Nylabone is?! This is something I can chew on. It is made out of tough, durable nylon. When I chew it, it cleans my teeth and it tastes great. I have a lot of fun chewing it but my humans sometimes don’t like it as I make a lot of noises chewing on it.
I love these Nylabones and my old one was almost too small to chew on it and now I get a new one.

Of course there would have been way more things I would have wanted to chew on but I am a well-trained dog.

Now I am an officially approved Walmart dog – that’s what my mistress called me.

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
