Traveling The World with my humans

My humans owned their last car back in 2019 while we lived in Las Vegas. They sold it because we left the country. Since then, we either traveled using public transportation or rental car. Here in Fachbach there aren’t any stores. You can walk to Bad Ems, which is not far away, or you can ride a bike but doing groceries is not easy that way. Of course, our hosts took one of my humans with them when they went doing groceries, but they don’t we to be a burden to anyone.   Now a big surprise happened – my humans got a present, a car. Katja, an old friend of my mistress told us that her dad got a car as a present from a friend and now he has a spare car which he wants to give to my humans. It’s old but still runs. And it’s not a car, it’s a van, a Citroen C8, a huge car with enough space for Mogli and me. The air condition is broken but it’s getting colder anyways, so we should be good. Isn’t that a very generous gift? Thank you so much!

We have been in Fachbach for almost a month now. I am comfortable wherever we are as long as my humans are with me, I have a place to sleep and get my food. Mogli on the other hand is not used to all that. Remember, he lived half wild in a kennel with other dogs until a couple of months ago.   My humans take us for walks on the shore of the river Lahn. There are plenty of ducks, geese, swans and other birds. Let’s say it that way, there is a lot of air traffic in that area. While we read our newspaper and do our business Mogli just stops and looks in the sky. He watches all these birds flying over him and making a lot of noises. You know how it sounds if ducks fly over you and make quack, quack, don’t you? The most interesting thing to see is a swan taking off. All you can hear is the noise when the wings touch the water and after some meters, a lot of meters, it finally takes off. You can see that here a lot, same thing with geese and ducks taking off. Sometimes you can see du

We are moving on, Josef is looking for someone that will assist him for a long time, like a couple of years and my humans have different plans. My humans already found another place where they will work for accommodation. There is a small hotel in Fachbach that needs some renovation and my humans will help with that. Wow, isn’t that crazy, we are traveling all over Germany because Fachbach is in Rheinland-Pfalz.   This morning my mistress picked up the rental car and after my master packed the car we drove off. First stop was Oberursel where my humans picked up some stuff they needed, next stop was the storage unit in Mainz. My humans stored some things they do not need for our stay in Fachbach. They still carried the winter clothes from Lapland with them and they said they would not need them for now. It was a short drive from Mainz to Fachbach where we arrived in the late afternoon.   We met Marion and Achim but more important we met Alina and Millie. Alina and Millie are white Germa

Mogli and I like being here in Unterfeldbrecht. As it is close season we are not allowed to run without a leash. My mistress bought a 15m/49 ft. leash and Mogli and I both got the chance to run on the long leash. It was also a possibility to train Mogli to listen to the commands. There are woods and fields all around town and not much traffic. One day we went on a very long walk, it felt forever to go back home. I am a senior and allowed to complain about long walks. The only downfall here is the ticks. There are thousands, millions of ticks and after every walk my humans found like 10 ticks or more in my fur. They decided to get a spot-on to keep the ticks away. Luckily that worked and Mogli and I did not have to deal with these creatures again.   Josef is a very friendly person and so is his family. They laugh a lot and my humans love that. The humans made a couple of campfires and had barbeques. Mogli and I were allowed to be at the fire as well. While my humans put a net over a fen

Our time here in Burg is over and Michael the owner of the flat will move back in. Mogli, my humans and I are moving to Bavaria now, to a little town called Unterfeldbrecht with about 100 people living there. Instead of going by train my humans rented a car to go there. We left early in the morning and first we had to take the ferry to cross the Nord-Ostsee Kanal. On the Autobahn was a traffic jam and it took us about 4 hours to drive 50 kilometers/31 miles. The reason was a construction area. As we had air conditioning in the car and plenty of room Mogli and I were fine with this. We slept most of the time. Because of the many construction areas our trip took almost double the time it would have taken without it. We arrived in Unterfeldbrecht at midnight.   You might wonder what we are doing in a small town like Unterfeldbrecht. I will explain it to you.   What my humans are doing is they go to a place where they work and can live for free. Sometimes they get food, sometimes they do t

It was a beautiful day today, the sun was shining and it wasn’t too hot. My humans decided to walk to the Nord-Ostsee Kanal, the channel that connects the North Sea to the Baltic Sea, where all the big ships that are made in Kiel have to pass to go to the open sea, cruise ships like Queen Mary II or other ships of all sizes. After we walked through the town of Burg we walked a small path to the channel. It was beautiful, so many things to smell. My mistress had a backpack with a snack for my master and her as well as some treats and water for Mogli and me. Mogli was very excited but he enjoyed it very much, so did I. When we arrived at the channel we saw a small ferry that crossed the channel because there was no bridge. My mistress told me that a bridge wouldn’t make sense, as the big ships that use that channel are very high. Makes sense to me. The humans sat down at a picnic table and Mogli and I relaxed in the grass. We watched the ships go by and shortly before we left a bigger co

If you follow my blog you know that Mogli was living on a Husky farm in Swedish Lapland and that my humans adopted him. In Lapland Mogli used to live in a kennel with other dogs. This is where he was born and where he grew up. So he can survive in the winter living in a kennel but he has no experience with other things. Let me explain to you. First at all Mogli has never seen a cat before we arrived in Germany. Now all of a sudden there were cats everywhere on the streets in Burg. He didn’t know what to do with them and tried to play and say Hi but the cats didn’t appreciate his behavior and hissed at him. In Germany in some towns people collect plastic garbage in yellow plastic bags. They put them on the street on the evening before they will be picked up. Of course these plastic bags make noises when the wind blows. Mogli was scared of these bags at first but he experienced that they don’t jump on him and that I was cool with them. Mogli knows dogs, dogs in a kennel but not on a leas
