June 15, 2018 - will we be able to leave for Canada today?



My humans slept in and so did I. They knew the part from Las Vegas would not be delivered before 8 am and it would take a while to put it in and make a test drive.
After 1pm my mistress called to find out that they got stuck while they made the test drive and that they did not put the fuel pump in to save my humans money.
Now they had to wait till the truck was towed back. They sent the fuel pump back as they were positive they would not need it.

Well, all this wasn't too bad for me as I could relax in the sun and play outside and tease the neighbor’s dogs.
I love teasing them. When I go out in the backyard I go close to the fence to their property. And they come running and barking and fighting with each other. Meanwhile I pee and mark my territory in their direction. I just ignore them and walk to the other side of the property. They try to follow me but they can’t as there is a fence where their property ends.

Oops, sorry, where was I!? Ah yes, the fuel pump needed to be ordered again. In the late afternoon shortly before they closed my mistress called again and was told that thy put in the fuel pump but were not able to make a long test drive. Problem was, it was Friday and they are closed on the weekends.
That would have meant we we would stay another two days. But Alek from Pete’s Autoclinic told my humans that one of the mechanics will come in on Saturday, on his day off, to make a long test drive with the van. Isn't this awesome? My humans were very happy.

May 12, 2024 - My humans keep telling me I am a destroyer. Do you know what they mean?

 Hello and ciao, it's me again.  I am growing up and believe it or not, I can jump the couch now and climb the bed! Isn't that awesome? It's getting warmer now and most of the time the door to the terrace is open and I can go outside whenever I like. But I am still not allowed to be in the yard on my own. Really? I don't have a clue why! My people keep telling me that I can't be left alone because I destroy everything. What do they mean by that? Well, I do have to admit that at the beginning I loved chewing on shoes, especially on crocks. They are so soft and you can sink your teeth into it so nicely. It was also fun because my people ran after me and play fetch when I took their shoes and ran around the house. My people didn't like that too much though because the shoes were dripping afterwards.  After the shoes I found out that plants taste delicious. My favorite is the olive tree and the orange tree, rosemary and basil aren't bad but the taste is too stro...

Our new home – January 4, 2022

  My turn, my turn, my turn! Hej everyone smørrebrød, it’s me, Mogli! Lupo needs a break, he’s getting old. I will blog now!   No, you will not, this is my blog and you can help me once in a while. For now you can go on, but I will have a close eye on you. Don’t blog any nonsense.   Smørrebrød, ok, you are the boss old man. My English is not good. Please be patio with me, no patient. Today we moved into the house. We had to leave öhrli, early in the morning. San Quirico, the town where we move to, is located on a mountain. We drove up-hill for quiet, quite a while. Smørrebrød, tabernac, writing in English is not as easy as I thought. My humans, sorry, our humans, were afraid we wouldn’t make it to San Quirico with the trailer. But we did! We drove by at first, there was no smørrebrød number on the house. This seems to be common in Italy. And if there are numbers on the houses they are not in order. Not all the time I mean.   The landlord, was waiting for...

Ciao tutti!!!! April 1, 2024

Ciao a tutti, io sono Balu. Parlo correntemente italiano, ma i miei nuovi umani non mi capiscono molto. Ora devo imparare il tedesco e l'inglese. Ma siamo in Italia ed è una lingua così bella.  Ok, let's try that in English, I am a fast learner when it comes to languages and not so much when it is about behavior or other things. Ciao tutti, I am Balu. I speak fluent Italian, but my new humans don't really understand me. Now I have to learn German and English. But we're in Italy and it's such a beautiful language. My humans told me that a lot of people are reading this blog and I fear I have big footsteps to fill.  In contrast to Lupo I haven't traveled much. My longest ride was from the refugio in Rome to my new house.  When my humans picked me up I didn't know what to expect, but I seem to have hit it well. Mogli is the best buddy I could have wished for - very patient and smart. Sometimes he wants to be left alone and I try to find out how far I can go wit...
