a buzzing busy week

Hello everywoof, everyone, everything!
I am back with real great news.
Of course, in between many things happened, but this past week was
extraordinary.
At the beginning Chris ran around the apartment, and so I placed myself
at the door, so that she couldn't escape without me noticing. But she
hadn't noticed my change of places, so she was pleasantly surprised when
I greeted her from the door, ready to roll!
Daniel picked us up on his car wheels, and took us to work. There the
humans had lunch, we went into thee small office and talked with two
others, and then we went outside, where we met sister Suse, who played
with us. After more time at the office we finally went outside, and
there I was put into a completely different car. A blanket was spred out
for me, and Chris attached me to the safety belt. We drove a while, not
too long, Chris and Daniel, his wheelchair and the two other men who
don't like me much, the bags and I in the spacious car. We got unloaded
and went into a hotel, where a very kind lady took Chris and me to our
room, showed Chris a few things and then left us alone. Very soon Daniel
came to pick us up, showed us the way to the elevator, which isn't hard
to learn at all, and then we explored a park where I could do my own
business. After another while in our new room we went downstairs, where
a lady greeted us and took us to a room, where we chose the best place
for me to spread out and Chris to be comfortable. Slowly people came in,
found their seats and every one of them talked a little. Chris took over
my introduction, then the nice lady talked some more, and then we went
to collect human food and then up to our room to take a nap.

The next day started with the introduction of another man who would to
the major talking from now on, breaks here and there, and one other man
had dog treats for me. And after lunch another lady took uus outside, so
I could go explore the park a little more.
I liked going to the elevator, but not to the room, because room meant
relaxation, and elevator meant fun and excitement and meeting people.
During the lunch break of day three yet another man went for a walk
through the city with us. We walked to the water, where he looked at
ships and gave Chris a little private tour of the city called Lübeck.
She says she had been there once with a mann the spirit named Hapoo used
to call Shadow.

Day four was fun again. The nice dog lady, alsoo named Petra, took Chris
and me to her home in her car after the lectures, and there I met two
dogs, both excited to meet me, but not over the top. One of them, a
Newfoundland dog named Balu, went to her home with us and her husband,
and there was a garden where the two dogs of us could play, have tons of
water, play some more and sleeep a little. Chris threw my collar for me
to pick up, and Balu, too, was treated from the clicker bag. He is a
champion, he is very calm and can even pick up a metal object in his
mouth, something I avoid perfectly. The dog lady named Petra says she
did obedience sport with him, and told Chris a lot about it. Even Chris
says hhe is a wonderful dog and incredibly easy to handle.

Finally it was time to leave this paradise place, and Petra and Chris
were takken to a restaurant, myself included, of course. That place was
very noisy, but I met the wonderful spokeslady and Daniel on his
wheelchair wheels. Chris had food and a nice long talk with the
spokeslady, and then the Spanish lady came and walked home with Daniel
and me and Chris. In the park Chris took me off leash, and we had
another little playing session of fetch the stick. Hey, I even
understand Spanish, did you know?

On day five Chris got up early, removed my dog blanket, put all other
items in the bag thhat she had been hiding in the wardrobe, and then we
went for a dog walk with Daniel, breakfast and a bit of more talking.
During the break we went upstairs, Chris picked up anything that would
remind anybody of our presence in the room, we placed things in the
talking championship room, Chris handed in the key at the counter, and
finally talking was over. First goodbyes, more food, more treats from
the treats man, one more playing session with Peetra the dog lady, and
then back into that huge car that swallowed people, bags, wheelchair and
dog, and off we went home. The door opened when we were back at our
home. Farewells to the colleagues, and then we were back home..
Oh that was a fantastic week! I loved to play with Petra, and I even
managed to spot the treats man and sat in front of him for a reward,
learnt Spanish and kissed all of my other new friends.
I love adventures, and Chris has promised that there will be a new one
soon. Water? Swimming?
No, she says, but she won't give it away.
So well, I will rest now and enjoy Sunday lazing.
Cheers, Quito.
