Traveling The World with my humans

Ok, this is crazy, even to me. Remember I told you I am an official Emotional Dog? Today my humans took me with them again. They said they need to do some groceries and as they are still afraid I might eat another poisoned mouse they take me with them when they both leave the house. Today it was quite warm outside, about 24°C/75F and it get’s hot in the car. The other times they took me to a place called Walmart I had to stay in the car, but today they wanted to take me inside. I don’t really know what Walmart is but I know that when they bring home food for me that say they have been to Walmart and they get all this good stuff there which I am not allowed to eat because it is “HUMAN FOOD”. Don’t you think that’s wrong, Dog food and human food and cat food and fish food and so on? Why can’t we eat all the same food? I admit human food smells way better than my food but my food comes in a bag or a can and they just have to fill that into my bowl while they have to prepare their food in

My humans are crazy. Yesterday they found out that the lottery Powerball had almost 400 million dollars in the jackpot and they decided to purchase tickets for this. They can play in this lottery without being US citizens they said. There is only one little problem – we are in Nevada and you can’t purchase tickets for Powerball in Nevada. My mistress always says problems are a challenge and you just need to accept the challenge to solve the problem. Well, here we got; all they had to do was to go to California. Luckily the state line to California is just a couple of miles from here and Shoshone is the next town. So this morning they took me with them in the car to go to Shoshone to purchase tickets for Powerball. They were prepared for everything as two years ago they tried the exact same thing but had to wait in line for more than four hours to purchase tickets. Of course the jackpot was much higher then, around 1 billion dollars. Going to Shoshone is a really nice trip through the

It’s more than a week now that I had that little poisoned mouse as an appetizer and I am fine. After I realized what I have done I was really worried. Looks like there is more danger than poisoned mice in the desert. Yes, I know, not all mice in the desert are poisoned, just the ones around the house. But there are other animals here that are dangerous. My mistress found a scorpion in the bathroom the other day. It wasn’t a big one, still a baby, but it already can sting and is poisonous. The scorpions my mistress found seems to be the Arizona bark scorpion, the most venomous scorpion in North America. It’s not deadly but it can cause severe pain, tingling, vomiting and illness that lasts up to three days. My mistress took a vacuum cleaner to remove it from the ceiling. Did you know that scorpions could be very fast? Besides the scorpions there are black widows, a spider. They are poisonous but not deadly. The venom of the black widow is reported to be 15 times stronger than ra

Today was Monday and I had to go to the vet again to make sure I am ok. We had to go to Las Vegas again. This time the sun was shining and looking out of the window of the car was way more interesting. We arrived at the South Buffalo Springs Animal Hospital in Las Vegas and my humans had to fill out a form. After a couple of minutes a nice woman took us to a room where we had to wait for the doctor. It took a while until he showed up. Dr. Allen talked to my humans first and they told him what happened. He was a very kind young man and I trusted him when he took me to another room to put me on the scale to check my weight. There we met Bree, his assistant. We went back to the room where my humans were waiting for me. He examined me, checked my heart, my belly and my teeth. He told my humans that I should be ok as the mouse was so tiny compared to me but that they have to watch me and come back immediately if I change in my behavior or my gums aren’t pink any more. Thank you Docto

My mistress woke up early, although it was Sunday. I was still tired as it was a very long day the day before. Otherwise I felt fine. I don’t know what that whole thing is about me eating that mouse. What is so dangerous about eating a poisoned mouse? My mistress explained it to me. This poison makes the blood thinner and it makes internal bleedings and this is what kills the mice and rats. And it is possible that it harms me. This little mouse might harm me, the big dog? This must be a very strong poison. Today my humans kept an eye on me and I had to stay on the leash to make sure I don’t eat more dead mice.

Today my mistress, my master and Ken spent the day at the Hot Air Balloon Festival in town. They made balloons for the Chamber of Commerce of Pahrump. I spent the day with the rest of the family. In the evening I got hungry but my mistress and my master haven’t come home yet to feed me. Some of the family members here sat in front of the TV and played games. I was looking around and found a mouse underneath the living room table. It looked dead to me. As I said, I was hungry and there was that dead mouse. To make a long story short, I ate that mouse. The humans around me reacted immediately and tried to get me away from that mouse but I was afraid they might take it from me and so I hurried eating it. My mistress, my master and Ken came home shortly after that and fed me. When my humans heard that I ate that dead mouse they freaked out. They told me that that mouse was poisoned because there was poison in the pantry to get rid of all the mice in the house, as it wasn’t just the on

I love these temperatures. It’s warm outside and no snow. Ok, it’s dusty and windy, but I don’t mind. My paws aren’t freezing any more and I can chill in the sun. Today my mistress showed me a mouse, it was right in front of my nose. I don’t like mice, never tried them. They stink and I don’t like stinky things. Silver and Sally, Tim’s dogs, they would have eaten it right away. I do prefer my dog food, this is just waiting in my bowl and I don’t have to catch it first. My master and my mistress told me that we will head back to Canada at the beginning of April. I hope it’s not cold there any more when we come back.
