Traveling The World with my humans

This was a very, very long journey but finally we made it to Gothenburg. My humans were tired, as they couldn’t sleep on the train.   The ferry to Kiel would be leaving in the evening so we had to spend a couple of hours in Gothenburg. My humans told me that in Germany and a lot of other countries had to wear masks that cover mouth and nose due to that Corona virus and that they have to keep distance to each other. Here in Gothenburg you couldn’t experience anything like that. On the train nobody had worn a mask. Sweden obviously handled that differently. They also told me that we left to Germany so quickly because they reopened the borders and it was possible to travel to Germany and not have to go into quarantine for 2 weeks. My master went to look for a place where they could store the luggage so that we could walk around and visit Gothenburg. Quickly he found the place and while he was in the elevator with the luggage my mistress, Forrest and I took the stairs. The stairs were buil

My humans were still busy packing all our stuff and doing last minute things on the farm. Forrest and I had to stay in the kennel. In the afternoon the owners of the Husky farm took us all to the train station. On the way reindeers crossed the street. I have never seen reindeers but Forrest told me what these animals are. After about an hour in the car we arrived in Ålvsbyn where we would board the train to Gothenburg. As we arrived early we had to wait and Forrest and I had a short nap on our blankets. A lot of people waited on the platform for the train. Forrest had never seen a train before in his entire (well, quite short) life. He was a little nervous but when he saw that I was chilled he calmed down.  My humans, Forrest and I boarded the train, stored the luggage and the humans went to their seats. A little later my master asked the conductor if we could change seats to the one with the table. The entire coach was empty but in times of that virus, Covid-19 they call it; you hav

Today my mistress started packing the suitcases. I think I missed something, my humans didn't talk about leaving. I heard them talking about that Corona thing and that they would need to quarantine when they got back to Germany. And now they want to go back. So I listened a little more to what they were talking about. Looks like we are taking the train tomorrow and go on the ferry the next day. We will not go back to Frankfurt but to a small apartment in Schleswig-Holstein. My humans want to work on the software without distraction. I wonder how Forrest will react when he realizes we are leaving, when he sees a train or a ferry? He must be scared. I better stay close to him to take care of him. This time we are taking a different route. Instead of going to Trelleborg and take the ferry to Rostock we will go to Gothenburg and take the ferry to Kiel. This way we have a longer trip on the ferry and can sleep longer.

It’s the beginning of May and there is still snow outside and it's cold.the humans still wear winter jackets. And it still snows sometimes. And in the night it doesn't get dark. Although I love snow I think it's about time to have spring and warmer temperatures. On the other hand, that would mean the mosquitos come out and just like in Canada they do have a lot of mosquitos here. It is weird when it doesn't get dark in the night. I mean really dark, so dark that humans can't see without a light and where you could see northern lights. By the way, did I tell you I saw northern lights? They are so beautiful! Green lights with a little bit of red and yellow moving on the dark sky. It was very peaceful and my humans loved it too. Now with the sun shining in the middle of the night you can't see any northern lights. Instead you hear the birds singing. The Sami gather the reindeers to bring them up the mountains. The Sami are the Indigenous people that live

Forrest and I get along very good. During the day we both nap on the bed, wait in the kennel for the humans to come back to the camper or play outside in the snow. The humans go for walks with us and train Forrest to go on the leash and follow commands. It's easier for him because I show him how to do it. Today Forrest had to go to the vet to get his vaccines. I couldn't come along but they told me everything about it. Forrest hadn't been in a car too many times and he loved looking out the window. When they arrived at the vet they had to wait a little bit. Forrest was scared, this was an unusual situation for him. The vet is a very nice woman from Germany. When she wanted to pet Forrest he was very shy. My humans took him to the examination room where he got his shots. Afterwards she wanted to give him a treat. Normally he Forrest gets a treat he can't wait and wants to have it immediately. Now he crawled over to the vet, very carefully. The doctor told my humans

Remember I played with Forrest, one of the young dogs, in the kennel? The last couple of days my humans took Forrest out of the kennel on a leash and we went for a walk. We get along pretty good. I mean, he is a little crazy sometimes and he does that jumping thing. I will ask my mistress to make a video of that because it is hard to describe. He stands on his behind legs and jumps up, quite high. My mistress told me that’s a Husky thing. One time he somehow screwed up and fell backwards. Good thing the snow is soft and he didn't hurt himself. But here is the big news: I’ve got a buddy now. Forrest will live with my humans and me! I am not quite sure if I really like that idea. I was the number one and got all the attention from my humans. Now I have to share that. On the other hand it's fun to have a buddy and not be alone. We do cuddle and have discussions but that's ok for me. He doesn't want to have my food and when we get a treat we get it equally. I show him ho

Nothing much happens out here, same routine every day. I still love playing in the snow and don't get tired of taking a snow bath. My mistress said that my für is so soft now and smells so fresh. A couple of days ago some of the dogs got into a fight and my master wanted to separate them. But he did not follow the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is that if there is a dog fight you have to grab the behind legs and pull the dog away. Never ever try to pull on the collar. Well, my master forgot the Golden Rule and got bitten by one of the dogs. The dog didn't mean to bite him but one of the other dogs. My master’s hand was in the way though. My master had some deep bites on his hand and my mistress took him to the ER. The doctor decided to put just one stitch on either side of one of wound and no stitches on the other bite wounds. She said that this way the bacteria could get out of the wound best. Of course I wasn't in the ER with my humans but they told me. The hand was ve
