January 31, 2019 - Leaving Port Hope


I knew it, they packed up the car today. But let's start at the beginning; my humans and I picked up the new car yesterday. It took quite a while until everything was finished with all the paperwork. I must admit, it's a nice car, but it might be a little too small for all the stuff we are carrying around.
Later yesterday my humans went to Oak Knoll Stables where my mistress groomed the horses again. She was so very sorry to tell Caroline that we would leave the next day. After we came back my mistress changed at Joyce's house and we went to Hermy's house. They had coffee and cake while they talked. I got some special treats too. Did I mention I love Hermy? I really do and not just because of the treats she gives me, she is such a lovely person, so sweet. We said goodbye and left to go back to Joyce's house where my humans packed up the rest of the stuff.
Today they loaded the car, but first my master had to go back to the car dealership because something went wrong with the payment. They had a hard time fitting everything in the car and had to leave some of the stuff behind. At the end they managed. First stop was Hermy's house because my humans wanted to give some of the stuff we had to leave behind to the church where Hermy ushers. My humans had a cup of coffee and after that we had to go back to the car dealership to fix that problem I mentioned earlier. Chris the car dealer is a very friendly and helpful guy.
Finally at around 1 pm we left towards Niagara Falls. It was very windy on the road and my mistress was worried about the box they packed on the roof rack. In Toronto was heavy traffic and it was getting late. My humans decided to stay over night in Niagara Falls, visit the falls the next morning and cross the border after that. It was very cold.; -17C and -30C real feel. We stayed the night at Motel6 in Niagara Falls, a nice motel, clean rooms and very friendly staff.
I was very tired and fell asleep quickly. My mistress was quite restless.

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

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

Mogli. loves joggers - September 15, 2021

Image
 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
