May 21, 2020 – Back in Germany

We had a good and quiet night on the ferry. Forrest had to go to the bathroom at about 5 am and my mistress was able to watch a beautiful sunrise. I preferred to stay in the cabin and sleep.



When finally the alarm woke up my humans they had breakfast, packed our gear and at around 9 am we arrived in Kiel.

The owner of the AirBnB offered to pick us up in Kiel and my humans were happy with that as we did not have to take go to Kiel main station somehow, take the train to Burg (Dithmarschen) and walk to the apartment.

Again it was great to have the ramps from the ferry into the terminal and not to take a shuttle bus and walk stairs.




Forrest was very excited and he couldn’t wait to find out what was happening next. When he gets excited he wines and jumps. He is a really good jumper – he jumps over my human’s head from a standing position. His dad, Snowfox, is a great jumper too.


Michael, our host, was very friendly and the humans talked a lot while Forrest and I looked out of the windows.

After an hour drive we arrived in Burg and moved into the apartment where we could finally relax. This would be our home for a month now.

Burg is a small town in Schleswig-Holstein, right where the Nord-Ostsee Kanal is, the channel that connects the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. Approximately 4,000 people live in Burg and there is not much to see. It’s only 10 km apart from a town called Wacken where Wacken Open Air, a Heavy Metal Festival that takes place every year on the first weekend in August. This is one of the biggest Heavy Metal Festivals in the world.


My humans did some groceries after we arrived and relaxed the rest of the day.

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
