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!

so much fun!grannies vasquez

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…

my first herding experience!

ps: there are so many nice doggies here in ba, i love it!
