August 27, 2017 - The Great Kayak Challenge & Festival in Timmins

Image
August 27, 2017 Today we did not get up as early as yesterday. My humans went to the Pancake Breakfast and let me try some. That was yummy. I love pancakes but as my stomach is still upset I did not get much. Shortly after we came back to the trailer Tim showed up. We set up the tables again and my humans started to twist balloons. Today the Summer Water Sports stunt show took place on the river. A lot of people went there to watch this. Business for my people was a little slower today. It seemed like people spent most of their money the day before. My humans still had fun and I rested underneath the table. During the last stunt show the moderator said that one of the water skiers tripped because he wanted to save a balloon in the water. My master just made a Not Captain America out of balloons and my mistress said he should give this to the people from the stunt show as a thank you for rescuing the balloon. So he went over there and gave it to them. They were just preparing fo

August 26, 2017 It was only 5:30 am when my mistress got up. Tim wanted to show up at 6 am to go paddling and my mistress wanted to attend the Sunrise Ceremony, Sacred Fire lighting, Smudge and Blessing of the Water which was done by the Natives. My mistress likes that and she told me it is very impressive and touching what they do. It was very cold outside and I stayed in the trailer with my master a little longer. After the ceremony was over we saw an eagle flying over the territory. My humans had a quick breakfast in the trailer and a coffee from Tim Horton’s (thank you to that nice man from the security). After they set up their table again people came and wanted to have balloons. My humans were busy all day long and could not even take a break. They said they are fine with that because they can rest in the evening and rather be there for the customers. Once in a while my mistress or my master took me for a little walk to let me pee. I still did not feel good and my stomach

August 25, 2017 More packing was going on in the morning. The humans packed Marc’s truck. At about 10:30 am the humans, Diesel and I left in the truck, pulling the big canoe on a trailer. My mistress told me that we would go to Timmins to the Great Kayak Challenge & Festival. The humans set up everything there and I could lie underneath the table and sleep. I need to admit I emptied the trash while the humans picked up the canoe last night. There were chicken bones in the trash and I ate them all. Today I don’t feel good – my stomach hurts and I have diarrhea. Last night I had to go out twice and my mistress had to let me out. I feel sorry for that but I urgently had to go. Tim set up his table with a lot of pictures, paddles, the two canoes, books and much more. He even showed videos about the “Power of the Canoe”. My master and my mistress set up a table with their balloons and they twisted for the kids. This afternoon they weren’t too busy but it was only Friday and two

August 24, 2017 - Preparations

August 24, 2017 Yesterday the humans packed the trailer with a lot of stuff: benches, papers, displays, life jackets, balloons, matrasses and canoes. What is this for? They even packed my harness and my leash. I think I better stay close to my humans to find out what’s going on and to make sure they don’t leave without me again. My mistress just came back from a journey and I don’t want her to leave again. Tim and Marc left with the trailer and came back without the trailer a couple of hours later. Marc and Diesel stayed at camp tonight and they said they would get up early in the morning. My mistress and my master haven’t packed that much balloons for a long time. Maybe they have a gig somewhere? But what are the canoes for? They even picked up a big canoe from Camp Bickell this evening. We went to bed early today and they still did not tell me what’s going on.

August 23, 2017 - Yipieee! She's back!

August 23, 2017 On August 21 in the afternoon my master left with Marc to pick up my mistress from the airport. My master told me she would arrive in the middle of the night. He later told me that she arrived on time and that they went to Marc’s to stay over night. The next morning Marc did not feel good so they stayed another day in Timmins. Marc asked my mistress if she could make Lasagna. They went to the grocery store to get what the needed for the Lasagna. When they wanted to pay the card did not work, although there was enough money on the account. My mistress went out to Marc who was sitting in the truck to get cash. While she was looking for it my master came and had all the groceries with him. The lady that was next in line paid for the groceries. My master and my mistress asked me to write this in my blog and to thank the mystery woman for her kindness. This is very gentle and my humans will pass this on to somebody else. My humans arrived at noon and I can tell you I w

August 19, 2017 - Party Time

August 19, 2017 Yesterday my master and Tim cleaned up the garage, worked on the Tipi and on the stage. In the evening they lit a big campfire with a lot of wood. In the morning my master cleaned the fireplace while I was running around on the property. Around noon Ozzy came and started to barbecue a lamb. My master told me they would have a party today. Ozzy invited a couple of people to celebrate that he sold the apartment building he remodeled. Around 3 pm a lot of people started to show up - some of them had dogs. I did not like all of them and I played with most of them but I could not say Hi to one as she had to stay in the truck. She was a beauty but quite unfriendly. I met Holly, a friend of Ozzy. She is nice and she liked me a lot. My master talked to her too. At about 10 pm the lamb was finally cooked and the humans had supper. It smelled very good but I could not try it. Why wouldn't the humans let me have some of that food they eat? They keep telling me it is

August 7, 2017 - My master is back

August 7, 2017 Finally my master was back, I am so very happy. He told me what had happened while he was gone so I could write all this in my blog. By the way, do you like my blog? Feel free to leave a comment; I really would like to know what you think. Have you ever met a dog that traveled as much as I did? Tell me and send me pictures. My master and I went to bed early today and he would let me sleep in his bed. Normally I am not allowed to do that but he knew I miss my mistress and he misses her too. It is way more comfortable on the bed then on my spot. Maybe I should convince them to let me sleep in their bed every night. I need to work out a plan for that. Maybe if I look at them with my big brown eyes?
