August 6, 2017 - Will they come back?

Image
August 6, 2017 Today my mistress got hold of the uncle and he booked the flights for her. At noon Marc took her to the airport and she left Timmins and Canada. She arrived safely the next morning in Frankfurt. Luckily she could stay with her stepmother for the first week and with my master’s mom the second week. She told me to thank both of them for taking such good care of her while she was in Germany. My master stayed another night at Marc’s place. I felt so lonely without them although Tim is very nice and I have company with Silver and Sally. But it just isn’t the same without my humans! How would I know if they ever come back? What if I have to stay here forever without them? Well, they left their stuff here, maybe they are coming back.

August 5, 2017 - Good Bye

August 5, 2017 My mistress and my master got up early after a night full of thoughts and talking. My mistress packed a little suitcase for her travels. She said she would stay for two weeks to make sure she will be there in case there would be a surgery. Marc showed up at noon and they left to Timmins. They said they would go to the airport to get a ticket. I had to stay with Tim and his two dogs. I did not like the idea, but Diesel and me in Marc’s small apartment would be too much they said. I don’t really know how long two weeks are, as I can’t count but to me this seems forever. What if they don’t come back and leave me here all on my own? On the other side Tim lets me run around on the property without watching me and I can sneak to Jerry’s Chip Stand on the property and beg for some food or go to the lake all by myself. My mistress and my master won’t let me do this on my own as they are afraid the train might run me over. My master later told me that they could not get a

August 4, 2017 - Emergency Call

August 4, 2017 – Emergency This morning my mistress got a call from her oldest daughter via Tim’s phone. She told us that her youngest daughter is in hospital due to very heavy headache and numbness on her right side. She already was in the emergency room in New York before but they couldn’t find anything. Now she is back in Germany. My mistress told me that she went to the emergency room in Germany and they could not find anything either but called her later to come in because they saw something on the MRI. My mistress was very worried and wanted to go to Germany immediately but as we are out in the bush it is not that easy. There is an airport in Timmins, which is about 60 km from where we are and to go there she would need somebody to take her there. Also the flights are very expensive. Her oldest daughter told my mistress that the doctors don’t know yet what it is they saw on the MRI and that there is nothing right now they can do but watch her youngest daughter at the strok

July 15, 2017 The weather wasn’t too good today but that does not matter as there were a lot of people on the property for the weekend. My humans and Tim had a long chat in the morning in Tim’s house. Later my humans went into the paddle room to work on the video and Tim went to the lake to clean up the beach. There was a chipmunk in front of our trailer and I would have loved to chase it but my mistress told me no because they are so cute. With all these people around it wasn’t boring for me at all. There was Ernie and his girlfriend Maureen, Bob, Tyler and Candice stopped by on her way to Iroquois Falls. In the afternoon Tim joined my humans to work on the video. It was cool and I enjoyed being at the paddle room with the humans, Silver and Sally. There was another dog that belonged to Ernie, it’s a huge boxer called Chico. He is 13 years old, a real senior. I haven’t met him yet but I hope I will later this day. While my humans and Tim worked on the video Tyler and Ernie

July 14, 2017 I skipped a couple of days in my blog as not much was happening. Today it was sunny and very warm and not much wind. My humans took a canoe down to the lake and we went into the canoe and paddled on the lake, just my mistress, my master and me. They had to get used to paddling a small canoe but after a while they did pretty good as far as I can tell. First I looked at the birds and the ducks and thought about chasing them but my mistress told me not to but to lie down instead as the canoe was shaking every time I moved. So I decided to lie down and take a nap while my humans had to paddle. There was nothing I could do anyway. They paddled for about two hours and even visited the island. My humans were tired when they came back and I was ready to play with Sally and Silver. Although they were tired my mistress made some chicken soup and after dinner they worked on the video again. Who would have thought my humans would like paddling a canoe on a lake? It looks

July 9, 2017 The sun was shining again and I enjoyed taking a nap in the sun. My humans and Tim talk a lot and they have a lot of plans. Tim is planning brigades for the next seven years. I am not sure, but I think my humans will help him with that. Did I tell you about my humans’ plan for a Balloon Circus World? They plan to make a Balloon Circus World completely out of balloons. The original plan was to make it in the USA but Tim told my humans he has a lot of connections and now they might make it in Canada. Maybe we stay here a little longer. The humans were working on the video for the website again. My master got very tired and he decided to take a nap. While he was napping Carl Watt showed up, he is Tim’s friend. He is a very nice guy and I really like him. He told my mistress that he was fishing and while he was fishing a duck family showed up and came to him. He told her he will never hunt ducks again but instead he will feed them. Carl makes flies for fly fishing. He

July 8, 2017 Yesterday the humans worked on the website and on the pictures all day long. That was a boring day for me although I talked to Silver and Sally a lot. Today the weather was very bad, rain and storm, but sunshine in between. While the sun was shining I took the chance to go to lake with my mistress. I am glad she understands my needs and I can show her what I need or want. The lake was fun again and I chased a lot of sticks. Silver and Sally were at the lake too and they chased me when my mistress thru a stick. In the evening we all gathered in the paddle room again. The paddle room is a little cabin, just one room, with a table and a stove. My mistress said her grandmother had a stove like this in the kitchen when she was a child. To cook on that stove you need to put wood in there and light a fire. Today the humans did light a fire in the stove and it was nice and comfy. I lied on the sofa in the paddle room and took a nap. The paddle room is for sitting together
