July 2, 2017 - Arnprior to Tim's house

July 2, 2017 Arnprior – Tim’s house (Connaught/ON)

I admit the night in the truck wasn’t bad and even my humans had a good sleep. Marc and Marc went off to find parts to repair the truck and when they came back they said the wheel will be fixed and will be ready in 1.5 hours.
Marc’s truck had problems too and they started to repair that one too. They said the transmission did not work and they had to replace one part. They drove away again to get that part too and came back after a while with the parts they needed to repair Marc’s truck.

There we were on a parking lot in Arnprior, the humans repairing trucks and I had another sleep in the trailer.
In the early afternoon everything was fixed and we could leave. Marc’s truck was not completely fixed but enough to go home.
On the way to Tim’s house we stopped in Pembroke and had lunch, Tim invited all the humans. I had to stay in the truck and I did not like this. Again they ate without me.

After they came back we went on driving to Tim’s house. They took turns in driving. My mistress drove Marc’s truck with the canoe on the trailer and my master drove the other truck with the other trailer.
They did not take many breaks only to get gas or let me pee. It was already late and bed time for me when we arrived at Tim’s house. Tim says he lives on the last paved street in the North of Ontario.
Tim’s two dogs were in the house when we arrived. Their names are Silver and Sally, Silver is Sally’s daughter. At first they barked at us but they calmed down fast. My master and my mistress only took the necessary things out of the truck and we went
to sleep soon. Tim gave us one of the rooms in his house. My humans fell right asleep on the bed and I closed my eyes and fell asleep too. What a day! Tomorrow I need to find out more about Silver and Sally and I need to check out the property.

Buffalo farm, herding dogs and living in Serrone - February 9, 2022

Image
After living in Italy for about a month now I can say I love it. The climate is perfect for me and my old bones and whenever the weather is good my humans leave the office door open so that Mogli and I can lie outside on the patio in the sun. We made tours to some towns around here, for example Olevano Romano. And we’ve been to the centro storico of Serrone, our hometown. Boy I can tell you, these roads up there are crazy, steep roads, 25-degree bends and on one side of the road the mountain and on the other side steep gradient.    Smørrebrød, smørrebrød, remtemtemtem, Lupo what are you blogging about? Are you telling our readers about our drive up to the top of Monte Scalambra? Don’t be a fraidy-cat, it's fun driving up there. I wish we could have run around free and chase the wild horses down the hill. I wish I could join one of the paragliders that fly down there. That must be great!     Oh, Mogli you are a diehard! The poor horses - I’m sure they were happy that you c

Mogli. loves joggers - September 15, 2021

 My mistress is busy painting walls, doors, ceilings and furniture. Because my humans do "Living for work" they help around the house wherever help is needed. In return they can live in a room, apartment or camper for free and sometimes even food is included. So, my mistress goes painting a few hours every day whereas my master does other things, like repairs.  I can't smell much chemicals when my mistress comes back after doing paint jobs. She uses chalk colors. In the pictures you can see some things she painted. before - after After my humans finish their work around here, they work on their software or walk us dogs. Sometimes we walk up the hill to the big cross or to the little oratory. Other times we drive to the woods or to the field on top on one of the hills. Mogli and I can run free there. We both love running free, but I get tired easily. I have to admit, I am getting oder and calmer, whereas the young fellow Mogli never gets tired. He is having so much fun whe

Mediterranean Sea and running free in Broccostella – October 17, 2021

Image
We left early the next morning. The humans had breakfast at the B&B while Mogli and I waited patiently in our room. Next stop was Broccostella where we would stay for a couple of days.   Again my humans chose to drive along the coastline as long as possible and luckily they did because shortly after we left Piombino my master saw a sign with “dog beach” written on it. Finally, Mogli and I could feel sand under our paws, feel the sun on our fur and run on the beach. Mogli wasn’t sure if he liked it, he was very skeptical about this weird feeling on the paws and the salty, moving water. After a while he loved it but he did not go into the water. I tried to walk into the sea but it was cold – too cold for me anyways. We spent more than half an hour on the beach before we went back to the car and drove on.   In the early afternoon we arrived in Broccostella, at the Agriturismo La Pesca Villa www.facebook.com/agriturismolapesca. Miriam, the owner, welcomed us warmly and showed
