Howdy everyone: Hope you all arrived where you needed to be on time this morning!! I don't need to pay any attention to the clock or time. But for some reason humans feel the need to change to daylight savings—whatever that means. I'm just happy and content to eat, sleep, go out to do my thing and be prepared to take my place in the back seat of the car. Well not much at all to report to day. My masters went to church this morning. I got to stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet of being alone. They [View Full Entry]

Boy is my nose out of joint today!!! My masters went to Edmonton and left me here with the folks! Now how do they expect me to give you a report on the day if I am not with them? So understand, that today's report is all hearsay! They tell me they went to Tim's for breakfast then headed to Edmonton about 7:30 AM. About an hour and a half down the road, there was a convoy. It was a wide-load convoy - and out here when they have a wide-load - they have a wide load!!! (see pics!) My masters [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone: Well another day here in Wainwright! This morning my master went to the Internet Cafe and sent our my blog for me and checked their emails. Then at noon, the folks went out to the Wainwright Golf Club and had a buffet lunch, which they claim was very good. My master has not been feeling well for the past 24-hours, so this afternoon, he went to the hospital. They discovered he had a bladder infection and gave him an antibiotic. He is going to bed early tonight, hoping he will be feeling well enough to go to Edmonton tomorrow. [View Full Entry]

Woof from Wainwright: Well, it has been a rather quiet day. As a matter of fact, I just laid around here at the house and enjoyed my extended rest! My master took the car in for a oil and lube today and and went through the car wash. Then he found an internet cafe where he was able to post my blog for me. The cafe has a good setup and my master was impressed with the computer store that housed it. It was really quiet a size for this little town of Wainwright. Mom and “Pinky” (Lloyd) took my masters [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone: Well here we are in Alberta at Sharon's Mom and step-Dad's! We arrived about 2:30 P (Alberta time) yesterday afternoon. My masters were both very tired and so retired early. We all had a great night of sleep and are feeling much better today. None of us spent a very good night in the motel the night before last. Even though my masters sprayed and had a plug-in deodorizer, it only masked the tobacco smell very temporarily. So we were up early (5:30 AM) and on the road. We had breakfast at Tim's (I got my plain old-fashioned doughnut!) [View Full Entry]

Hello again: It's me - your favourite canine blogger, I hope! Today was actually a little boring, as there wasn't a lot to see. After breakfast at the motel, we left and headed north-west. It wasn't long before we ran into prairie-like scenery for miles and miles. Every now and then we would see a "hill" along the way. My masters had lunch at Denny's and then filled up the car before crossing the border. There happened to be a pet store at this stop, so they bought me some treats - Aussie Wraps - beef-n-cheesy. Mmm, are they good. A [View Full Entry]

A long, long, train! Common out here!
A smile!
Hey, who threw that hill in here?

Greetings all: Well quite an uneventful day for the most part today! A couple of interesting items though. We stopped for a coffee at a place called Caribou Coffee! It was a place on a par with Starbucks, complete with free wi-fi! However notice the selection of washroom facilities they offered us!! (see pic!) Not really - they had the real things! Then down the road a ways, we came upon the back of truck you see pictured! Yup - Samaritan's Purse! That was cool enough, but then we noticed who was hauling the trailer!! Paul Brandt Trucking! Who is Paul [View Full Entry]

Well, hello again everyone! We have arrived up here in north-west Wisconsin at a place called Webster. We are visiting with friends, Blaine & Jeannie. They are folks that Sharon knows from her days in PNG (Papua, New Guinea). Actually I heard Jeannie and Sharon were good friends as singles and spent many Saturday mornings visiting over coffee discussing the possibility if either would ever marry. Jeannie and Blaine have now been married for 20 years. Sharon had to wait a little longer before Eric and I came along. After enjoying a peaceful night in my little hideaway (see picture), it [View Full Entry]

Well hello everyone! Hey this has been an exciting day for me and my masters! Let me tell you the story!! First of all, of course, my masters went for breakfast at Bob Evans - and I got to eat--you guessed it--my lamb and rice! Then we headed out for Rockford, where we planned to stay at the Red Roof there! You will notice how I have to monitor their travels, making sure they are on the right track - ah road I mean! However, half way there the blower fan on the car ceased to blow! Hmm, presents a little [View Full Entry]

Howdy everyone - Benji here! Thot I should report in on our day! Boy did they get me up early! They really had to bribe me to get me to come out of my spot under the table, where I was sleeping. But a wiener was all it took! And then I also heard those magic letters--C-A-R!!! That will do it every time!! Anyway, after a quick stop at Tim's for guess what - yup, my Timbits (of course my masters got a coffee and a small treat), we were on our way. We drove to the border in Sarnia, where [View Full Entry]
