June 19,2019 - The Rocky Mountains and Balloon Artists


This morning my humans were busy with their phones. Something about meeting some balloon artists in Denver,
My humans took a shower and luckily they didn't want me to take one.
We left Grand Junction and we had to cross the Rocky Mountains. I remember we’ve been in the Rocky Mountains exactly one year ago with Brooke but the Rocky Mountains in Canada are way more beautiful than here in the USA. Is there more than one Rocky Mountains?
The van had to climb the hill a lot today. It didn't like it and we had to stop a couple of times. Today the highest point was 3537 m / 11604 ft. And the lowest point was 1310 m / 4298 ft.

As we had to make so many stops to let the van cool down my humans were late for their appointment with the balloon artists. When we arrived in Denver Laura the balloon artist with the shop they wanted to meet at had to leave due to an emergency. They said they would meet later. I think I told you that my humans and Ken made a software for balloon artists where they can build their decorations virtually. Well my humans wanted to show them what it can do.
It got late. Besides Laura and her daughter were two more balloon artists, Harley and I forgot the other girls name, something with A. Sorry. This was so boring for me. I had to be in the car all day and now I had to stay in that shop while it was raining outside.
We camped on amWalmart parking lot together with some trucks. My mistress is a little worried but where ever the truck drivers rest it’s save they say.
Good night friends.

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
