August 16, 2018 – Moose liver

Image
Yesterday Tim had to empty his freezer because the fish for the Pickerel Fry on the arrival day of the True North Voyageur Brigade needs to be picked up and put in the freezer. He had a moose liver in his freezer and my master wanted to try that and he said he would take care of it and cook it along with onions and apples. My mistress is not very keen on things like that. Me personally, I think it smelled very good when it was raw. The liver was a huge piece of meat, well yeah, a moose is big. Do you want to hear the story of that liver? I will tell you anyways. Tim was in a car with a friend heading towards Timmins and they could see that obviously somebody hit a moose. But all that was left was the liver. Tim made his friend stop the car and Tim grabbed a plastic bag and took the liver. At home he cleaned it and froze it. So now my master is cooking it. He and some more people had it for dinner and they said it tasted very good. Did I tell you it was a huge piece of meat? Too bad f

August 11, 2018 – Cochrane Summerfest

Image
Today my humans loaded the van and we went to Cochrane. Holli accompanied us. I told you my humans are part of that True North Voyageur Brigade and they wanted to promote this at the Summerfest in Cochrane. They also wanted to make balloons. They all had this bright orange brigade t-shirt on. I personally think they look like buoys. Our van had some issues this morning. It has been raining and as our van is used to the desert it is not used to that much rain and humidity. The van just stopped running a couple of times, the engine stopped. At the gas station my master found out what the reason for that was. There was water sitting on the battery and every time we went over a bump (oh there is plenty of bumps on the streets here) there was a short and the engine turned off and would not start again. After my master fixed this, the van was fine and we made it to Cochrane. There was no time for breakfast before we left and my mistress gets grumpy if she does not get at least a cup of ho

August 10, 2018 – I am completely stressed out

I need to apologize for not blogging for a long time. These dogs Sally and Silver, they have been in heat again and I just could not think straight. This time I had not only to deal with Sally and Silver but I had to make sure Diesel and Snoop Dog stayed away from them. Ice Cube is not old enough yet. Oh man, I tell you, that really was a lot to take care of. Also I had to try to escape from my humans to do all this. They kept me on the leash most of the time because Tim doesn’t want little puppies. Puppies with Silver and/or Sally would look so cute, I am sure. But it looks like that’s not going to happen because I missed it this time. There might be puppies with Silver or Sally and Diesel as he was after them all the time. Yes and than there is Lady. Lady is Leonce’s new dog. She is only three month old and loves playing with me. The thing is, she is young and has a lot of energy. She is jumping around me all the time, trying to play with me and she is pinching me. Did you ever

Do they want to arrest me?

I kept this a secret for a while but I think I need to tell you about this incident. It happened in summer 2017 while we were at our friend’s house in Pahrump, NV. My humans took me for a walk in the evening this day and as usual we walked around the block. A couple of days before some new neighbors moved into the house across the street. With them their two dogs moved in, a small one and a big one. The property does not have a fence and the dogs where not tied to a leash or in a kennel. As far as I could see they stayed on the property. I don’t know how they knew where the property ended but I think their humans might have told them. Everything was fine until we were almost home. The women of the property next to our friend’s house talked to my humans for a couple of minutes. While they did that I was on the leash and waited patiently. The dogs of that new neighbor left the property and came across the street to say hi to me. While I am on the leash I can’t use my full body lang

July 18, 2018 – Some people do like our van

Image
I am sure you have seen pictures of our van. That nice white van with the rainbow on the sides. Tim does not really like it because of the rainbow colors but my humans like it very much as the colors match the colors of their company logo by coincidence. Today my humans decided to go to Timmins to do groceries. First stop was the gas station in Dubiens. There is no self-service at the gas stations here but someone puts the gas in the tank for you. This is very convenient in the winter when you pay cash as you don’t have to leave the car. This guy had a neon yellow hoody on and when we arrived with the van his eyes got bigger and bigger and he said “I love this, I just love this van!”. Later when we drove through Timmins a couple of people showed us a thumb up when the drove by or stood next to us on a red light. My humans plan on putting stickers on the van, flowers, balloons and even a picture of me. Wow, I must really be famous if they put a picture of me on the van. I wonder how

July 13, 2018 – A new theory

Image
You all probably can imagine that I can’t write and read although I am writing this blog. My mistress is my secretary and I tell her what to write. After she wrote it she has to read it to me to make sure she didn’t get anything wrong. I am a perfectionist. Now you might think, how come my mistress understands me. She is a human being and I am a dog and we do not speak the same language. From the first second I met my mistress when I was only 3 weeks old she knew what I felt. After I moved in with my humans she was the one that always understood best what I needed. The last couple of years she could read my mind like an open book and there is nothing I can hide from her. Trust me, this is not always easy for me as I do have my private thoughts too. Dictating this to her is even worth. I thought of this quite a while. I wasn’t sure if I should talk about my theory in public, to all of you. You might think I am crazy after all. But I would like to hear your opinion on that, as I am

July 2, 2018 – Snoop Dog, Ice Cube and Diesel

Image
My humans and I moved into the camper. A different camper than last year, it’s more comfortable. One of my humans takes me to the lake every day so I can have a bath and have fun. Well, there is plenty of fun on the property. Sometimes there are a lot of dogs around. Most of all I enjoy playing with my friend Diesel. We love to run and chase each other. Sally and Silver are not that much fun, they don’t play with me and at the beach they try to bite me when I chase the stick in the water. They don’t go in the water, well not really, they stay on the beach. Snoop Dog and Ice Cube are the new dogs on the property. They belong to Reggie. Snoop Dog is a Chihuahua and Ice Cube, he is still a baby is some other kind of dog. Snoop Dog behaves like he is the boss here. Seriously? I don’t think so. Diesel and I are way bigger than Snoop Dog but never the less he barks at us and tries to scare us away. Ice Cube on the other hand is cute, he is a little afraid of us big ones. Sometimes Silver
