Bounty's Adventures
Sleep, eat, play, play, play, repeat! A journal from a border collie's adventures in Brazil and else where… woof!
and the family is growing!
Hi there! it’s been a while… what can i say, life is good! last april mommie A finally found a job and on the very same week i got a new sis!!! lani! she is A LOT of fun! we play all day long!! it was love at first sight. i still remember that friday night when mommie M convinced us to go take a look at lani. her owners had left her on the side of the street in the middle of a very hot day! she stayed there for 5 hours until a very nice lady rescued her. the thing is that nice lady had already 18 dogs! and she couldn’t keep another one 
we were lucky to find out about her and rescue her. lani loved our home from the get go! we are so happy!
it’s been 5 months since lani came home with us! time flies! and i heard mommies say that right after i turn 2 we will get another little sister! and that she will be a little different from lani and i… can’t wait to meet her!
woof woof!!

back home
hiya dear friends and family!
hope you guys are all doing well! we are finally home after 11 days of fun. since my last post, we explored quite a bit of buenos aires, mostly around palermo viejo and hollywood. the city was very dog friendly and i had tons of fun walking around with mommies and being able to go with them to most of the parilla places, coffee shops and parks. we had a small event on our very last day in ba, were mommie m’s camera and car keys got stolen but after all it was done, we enjoyed ourselves and finished our trip with our last leg in beautiful floripa, my hometown!!! our trip to floripa was 1784kms and it took us 24hs to cover it. i behaved very well, as always :) slept most of the drive and we had frequent stops for pee and poop. abuelito vasquez spoiled me rotten always sharing his food with me (he is definitely not selfish), mommie m wasn’t too happy with that, but i enjoyed a few strips of prosciutto, some white cheese and cocada!!!
in floripa, we went to visit border aller kennel and eduardo. it wasn’t a total great visit for me since kinzy was kind of aggressive towards me because i didn’t want to give in to him… i also didn’t like that much that mommies and abuelitos were giving so much attention to those 8 doggies of eduardo. i like my family to focus on me! i have to admit though, they have a nice space there and it’s fun to have more doggies to play around with. we met famous mimi and she didn’t even look pregnant! eduardo later told mommies that she gave birth the day after our visit to 9 beautiful puppies!
after the visit we went for a stroll at the beach in campeche and mommies were worrying me. they were heading to that evil ocean water and i was afraid they would drown… i barked and barked at them, but they found it funny and didn’t really listen to me. mommie m got into the water and started swimming a bit, so i found it necessary to go after her, i had to protect her, what if she couldn’t come back to the sand? the water was salty and cold, but i swam to her and back twice to get her out of there. after that swim, i was calmer when we all left the water and went for a walk at the beach. i crossed paths with a nice doggie and we chased each other for a bit. then it was back to the hotel and a nice dry bath. btw, that hotel we stayed at was absolutely awesome! they are so dog friendly. they have so many nice flowers, every single exotic plant you can imagine. i loved to go about exploring the garden and finding nice spots to relieve myself 
then on sunday morning we headed home back to sp after 10 days on the road. the trip was kind of stressful for mommies with so much rain, but they are great drivers and we got home safe and sound. of course mommies were in a mission to bath me as soon as we entered the house. i slept like a baby after that and my hair is so soft now…
so this was my first long trip! lots of memorable moments and bonding time with abuelitos. i will miss them terribly when they leave…
life is good!
woof
ps: the not so good news is that my elbow is bothering me again :S not sure what happened, but it’s bothering me lots, especially in the mornings when i wake up… it hurts to the point of me crying… not so good. i’m going again to the vet this week and i hope he has the healing potion, because this business of being home all the time and not allowed to even go for walks sucks…
traveling!
hiya! i’m writing from buenos aires! i’ve been traveling all through mercosur with mommies and grannies vasquez. it’s been so much fun! we left SP and crossed parana to get to foz de iguacu and then down to buenos aires. soon we are heading to floripa and then back home by the end of next week… can’t complain! life is good!!!
we are going to cover about 5000k in this trip! i’ve been behaving well and mommies have found nice cozy places for us to stay all along the way that are friendly to me and us!
here’s a few shots of our trip…
woof!
ps: there are so many nice doggies here in ba, i love it!
our adventures…
hiya! sorry i’ve been kind of absent, but things have been tough around here… my elbow has been bothering me quite a bit lately and no one seems to know what’s going on it’s been now over 45 days and i surely hope it heals so i can go play at the park and start running with mommies! this week i mostly rested, A TON, and mommies cut a little bit on my food intake… i feel better and today i was walking straight, no pain… so let’s see! i took some extra xrays and went to two different specialists, hopeful they will find a cure!
apart from that we went to the beach last week and it was a BLAST! mommies were running some crazy race and i was cheering for them. then they had a yummy bbq and i got to play a lot in the garden with laika. i also fell on the pool! yeah, that wasn’t so funny!!! i was scared for a few secs but then recovered. i’m looking forward to more beach time soon! and to going to visit Foz do Iguacu and Buenos Aires next week with mommies and grandparents Fabio and Luz Elena!
a few shots from a weekend @ Maresias!
woof!

enjoying the nice weather
hi there! we have been enjoying the nice weather here. after seing a couple of vets about my arm/elbow that was hurting we finally agreed that it was just a bad movement + over playing and i’m finally feeling good and haven’t been walking weird. mommies really baby me for the past month and i’m feeling good again.
i’m starting to really enjoy playing with the ball! i guess i’m a border collie afterall LOL!
today we went walking to the park (4k) and then i played for 2hrs and we walked back, it was fun! and the sun was shinning! we had a blast! mila was at the park and we played quite a bit.
life is good! woof!!!
i’m 7months now!
yes, yesterday was my bday, i mean month day! 7 months… it was a good day, we played at home, in the garden and then we went to Ibira for an hour or so. today was another good day. mommie M played plenty with me and the ball and then while we were going to the park, “leaozinho” our car broke down! mommie M stayed back waiting for the mechanic and mommie A and i went to Ibira… (it broke down literaly one block way). it was so much fun!!! mila was there and we played until i was pooped and it was time to head home. then the mechanics took the car home and we headed to parque do povo to more fun!
here’s a few shots from today! life is good woof!!
i’m alive!
hi there, it’s been a while! i was hibernating… i mean recovering from my elbow injury thingy and finally started going to the park again. i feel out of shape sort of… yesterday mommie A took me to Ibira and it was like going to PARADISE! how i missed it… it was a full week of staying home, and when i say home it’s only going to the garden to pee and poop and then back home. and as you would figure i had to do something to stay entertained and alive! i started eating the wall in my bedroom! ha! mommies wouldn’t believe it a master piece.
anyways, today we went to another park, one that mommie M used to go as a kiddo. it was a fun, but nothing beats Ibira ) so we went to Ibira afterwards and that’s when the fun began. simba showed up and we played and played and played… now i pooped for the rest of that!
i’m kind of sad mommie M is leaving tomorrow for work… she will be away for 4 days… but mommie A promised she will be taking me on long walks and playtime with my buddies.
life is good! woof!
