Traveling The World with my humans

Why do my humans have to get up that early? I need my beauty sleep and getting up before 9:30 am is not appreciated. Today they got up at 7am, way too early if you ask me. The reason for that was that my humans had to go to the DMV – Department of Motor Vehicles. Don’t ask me what that is – remember, I am a dog. My mistress tried to explain that to me. They bought that car/van/bus and now they need to register the car so it has a license plate. Yesterday my humans took me to the garage in town to ask for an appointment. They want to have the car checked before they drive it and the car needs an oil change. What is an oil change? My mistress told me that the engine needs oil to run. What is an engine? Sorry, I just don’t understand all this. My master gave me this explanation: The car is like a dog. A dog has a heart that let’s the body runs and the engine of a car is like the heart of a dog. Ok, I do understand that. The heart runs with blood, which would be gas for a car. To make...

Remember, two days ago I told you that I heard the coyotes during the night but I have never seen one? Well, they either red my blog or they can read my mind, feel my vibes or just can read my mind. This morning my mistress was on that thing called computer again. She looked up at the house across the street and saw a coyote. And there was another one. The second one was limping. She went out front to look what they are doing. The coyotes crossed the street and walked on an empty property next to “our” house. When she was out front I was not allowed to come but I was allowed to go in the backyard with her to see what the coyotes were up to. There they were, just strolling around. One of them tried to chase a rabbit. See for yourself on my Facebook Page. My mistress is smart so she took a video. Later we went to Home Depot as my master is making some small repairs on the car and he needed some things for that. My humans know how much I love going shopping (no, I am not female!) and...

What a night. I just fell asleep last night when suddenly it got very loud outside. At first all the dogs in the neighborhood started to bark like crazy. I tell you there are a lot of dogs around here, in all sizes and all breads. Most of them have to stay outside all the time. I feel very sorry for them; they don’t know how it is to sleep in your human’s bed – so nice and comfy. All of a sudden, you could hear the coyotes scream. Well, I call it scream as it sounds like they are screaming, a very high frequency. That’s the noise they make when they are hunting. My mistress recorded it so you can hear it on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LupoTraveling/). They weren’t too close this time. Sometimes they are just in front of the house like 5m/16 feet away from our window. I am not interested in these coyotes but they kept me from sleeping. So I started thinking. It’s not like the house we are staying in is in the middle of nowhere and there aren’t any neighbors. Well, i...

Today my humans got up early, as usual. Normally I can nap after breakfast because they sit in front of these things and move their fingers on the so-called keyboard. Not today though. Today I could not nap. They took me with them to go to Pahrump Valley Museum. Seriously? I am a dog, why would I go to a museum? It’s a very short drive to the museum and from the outside it looked nice. A lot of cactuses but I wasn’t allowed to pee there anyways. Inside of the museum my humans signed the guest book and made a donation. After that they wandered around in the museum. My mistress told me that there is quite a lot to see. Old weapons, Army uniforms, books with Army crests, tools, cameras, an old piano,…. They show Native American artifacts and artifacts of Pahrump’s first Anglo settlers, prospecting, ranching and farming exhibits. Most important in this museum are two things. Number 1: Borax. I did not know what Borax is, why should I? I never went to school. My mistress explained...

This was one of these days where my humans decided to go on a trip. I kind of like that as I can get out of the house and see (means smell) different things. But first thing they did this morning was heaving breakfast. Well, they do have breakfast every morning but this morning they went to the Nugget to have breakfast. They told me it’s Mothers Day and therefore my master took my mistress out for breakfast. Remember, the Nugget is a Casino in Pahrump and I have been there before with my humans. The Golden Harvest Café is open 24 hours a day. The waitress at the entrance was a little confused where to seat my humans as I was with them but they told her that a booth would be fine and I would be quiet anyways. How could she know that I am a well behaving dog that travels the world? My humans ordered their breakfast and I could hear the word “bacon”. I know what bacon is. It is something very yummy, something I hardly ever get and if only a very tiny bit of it. They say it’s not good...

Wow, what a day. It started as a normal day …. My humans were looking for a car to purchase. They want to go back to Canada by car to be able to make balloons in Timmins. Did I tell you they are balloon artists? Maybe not, I can’t remember. It will not hurt to tell you again. A couple of years ago, to be exactly on December 31, 2012, my humans invited some friends for New Years Eve. We’ve been living in Germany then. One of their friends showed up with her new boyfriend. He brought a big bouquet of balloon flowers for my mistress. My humans were thrilled and my master wanted to learn how to do that kind of stuff. He got a short crash course of how to inflate, tie and twist a balloon. That night my master was dreaming in balloons. His mind got crazy with ideas of what you could do with balloons. My mistress wasn’t too amused as that kept her from sleeping. Two months later my master went to BAM, Balloon Artist Meeting in Germany. He learned a lot there, all the basics you need to...

It’s my birthday! I am 8 years old now in human computation of time. That means I am getting old, but I don’t feel old. I feel young and healthy. Maybe I am a little more tired than a couple of years ago but there is so much to experience and see out in the world. Yesterday my humans took me to the store and got me treats and a new toy. I was allowed to choose the toy and I chose the hedgehog. Well, I already have a hedgehog toy but the squeaker doesn’t work any more and I love making that noise. These treats are yummy! Sadly I only get just 5-6 a day. They are called Crunchy treats with real mixed berries. You can smell the blueberries in it and my mistress says smelling them makes her hungry. This morning they hugged me and played with me and showed me how much they love me. It was a hot day. I still have my winter fur that grew in Canada where it was very cold. My mistress brushes me but somehow I don’t loose that fur. Might be because it is cold here in the night. As it was...
