August 21, 2018 – First day of paddle
My mistress had to get up very early today to prepare breakfast for the paddlers. Luckily my master and I had another 30 minutes to sleep before we had to get up. It was still way too early and I was very tired.
When my mistress walked into the kitchen Holli was already there and took over to tell the helpers what needs to be done and prepared. Unfortunately she knew nothing about the groceries my mistress and Joyce made and the budget. So they used things that were not supposed to be for breakfast. My mistress walked away and let Holli do her thing. Instead my mistress took care of some other things and went back to the camper after a while as she had the feeling she wasn’t needed in the kitchen. A little while later she, my master and me went to have breakfast. Well, yes you are completely right; I did not get breakfast although I would have loved to. They had eggs, bacon, sausages, fruits, bread, jam, cereals and oatmeal. I love oatmeal and I think they could have kept some for me.
Coffee wasn't ready for everybody and food was not done when the first paddlers arrived for breakfast and Tim got mad with my mistress although it wasn't her responsibility. So she was told that she needed to be in the kitchen the next morning and Holli would not be there as she had other things to do.
The bus arrived at 7 am to pick up the paddlers and bring them to the boat launch in Matheson. But they did not leave for a while as Tim was doing this and that. Finally they left at about 8 am and my mistress drove a car of the crew from Sault Ste. Marie with a canoe on the trailer. Before they left Tim suggested that my mistress would paddle half of the trip today and my master the other half of the day. It was a little late for that and it would have been more driving as they would have to meet the paddlers somewhere during the day. That would have been additional driving and did not make much sense, even to me.
Dave took care of the clean up of the kitchen so my humans did not have to take care of that. That was very kind of Dave. I was asked to say Thank You in behalf of my humans.
In Matheson she waited for the paddlers to leave and took some pictures before she came back. She was tired and rested for an hour before she took care of the bathrooms. Bathrooms might be a little too much, an outhouse for the women and a plastic toilet for the men. Boy I am lucky I can just pee and do my business wherever I want on the property. My humans check if I do this other business somewhere where it would disturb people or they could step in and they take care of it.
Later my humans prepared to leave as the paddlers had to be picked up in Iroquois Falls. The humans were told to be at Tim Hortons' at 4 pm and wait for a call to pick up the paddlers at the river.
My humans and I met Marc and Diesel at Tim Hortons' at 4 pm and no sign from the paddlers yet. We waited and after a while the humans decided to just go there and be there when they arrive.
The paddlers were supposed to have a presentation in the library by Holli about some history, visit the museum. take showers at the Arena and be at “The Station” at 5 pm to have dinner.
The Mayor and the press were at the river to welcome the paddlers when they arrived. I met the Mayor last year, do you remember? I even have a picture of my humans and him.
After the paddlers arrived they loaded the canoes on the trailers and escorted the paddlers on their way into town. They stopped at an historical plaque for a while and we could go on to the Arena. There they grabbed their stuff to shower and we went off to “The Station”. The paddlers were too late for the library but the mayor made sure the paddlers have access to the museum. That’s very kind of him I think.
At “The Station” the humans had dinner, it smelled so good and I was very, very hungry as it was already late. My mistress let me have some bites of her food. She sad I behaved very well that day and that she loved me. That’s what I need, love and food and sleep and not to forget being cuddled.
While my mistress and I were in the restaurant my master and Marc too the trailers with the canoe to the launch spot for the next day. After they came back we left and went back to camp. I was hoping to be able to sleep after we came back home but my mistress answered questions, talked to people and I followed her everywhere. That’s my job to take care of my mistress and my master.
It was after midnight when my mistress came back into the camper.
