We are explorers!

Hello to all of you out there:

Don't blame me, blame Chris if you like! The holds the key to the blog,
and I can only type when she permits it!

Before she thinks of reasons to stop me, I will tell you about my
adventures right away.

While we were on holidays, which means no going to work, we did meet up
with Daniel on wheels a few times. Once we met outside to walk to the
larger grocery store, where the humans had breakfast first, and then
picked up some grocery. Then we walked home and had a lazy day. On the
way, Daniel showed Chris how to get to the grocery store.

A couple of days later we walked there again, and I ran towards the
entrance, I really love it when I know where to go and can show off.

Another day Chris and I went to the streetcar station, where we met
Daniel, got on a train together, got off after a few stops, and then
Daniel stayed back and talked to Chris, who gave me instructions. We
walked into a house I had never been to before, a huge one it was. Chris
directed me to walk across a spaceous central square, after which we
found an elevator, went upstairs and found an office, where Chris talked
with a lady. When she finished doing that, she directed me to the exit
we had previously entered the building, we turned and did the tour
again. And guess what happened: I knew the way and displayed all my
excellence to Chris' and Daniel's amazement.
As a reward, I lay down near the elevator doors, the humans talked, and
afterwards they went to have lunch, met a friend and later we all left.
I guided Chris to the streetcar stop, and i think I did a fantastic job.

A few days later we walked to the usual streetcar station gain, and out
of one train stepped Micki, great Micki! I squeaked, swirled and jumped,
but Micki did not even touch me and sat down instead. Chris made me lie
down and be quiet. After a little while she got up and I thought now was
the time to greet Micki enthusiastically. immediately Chris sat back
down, made me lie under the bench again and kept quiet. Then Micki got
up, but Chris didn't move. Micki sat down again, and then Chris got up,
commanded e to stand, picked up the harness handle, and we all walked to
the usual grocery store for a little stroll.

The humans stayed on the balcony, where they had some cake and coffee,
and Micki really liked the arrangement Mr Mylove had set up out there.

We went outside for the dog walk, and I had fun playing with Micki and
walking across the meadows and down the slope with the ladies.

Then the rain started, but Chris closed the glass windows, and it was
still so warm that they could sit outside.

After the thunder had gone, they took me outside again. Micki needed
cigarettes, so we went to the grocery store near the usual bakery, and
on the way it started to rain heavily again. In the store the ladies
decided this was a perfect night for red wine and ice-cream, so those
were bought, too, and then we walked home through the rain, where Chris
dried me as well as she could, and the ladies went back on the balcony,
continued talking and had a great time. And when it was time to sleep,
Chris talked briefly with Mr Mylove, and then we all slept.

in the morning they both prepared a huge breakfast, talked and then
packed bags. Soon Chris lifted the huge backpack on her shoulders. She
says it contained a vacuum cleaner, which she had bought with Mr Daniel
on wheels at one point, when she left me in his car and went shopping
without me but with Daniel. I didn't see a vacuum cleaner, but so far
Chris has never lied to me.

Micki took Chris to the service desk at the central train station, and
then she said goodbye and went to her own home.

The vacuum story is to follow soon. Byebye for now, and keep nudging
Chris for more Quito stories!
