LINK TO THE ITINERARY

“Uhhhh, time dissolved like beef sausages in my paws… Vietnam came creeping into my dog’s life, only to surprise me in a colorful, giggly and versatile way. A trip with my humans took me to a Vietnamese family and I got to know the cat of the house. Small kitty huge. ‘Uhhhhh’, I would have liked to stick my long nose into her tiger skin, if only she had let me.

After the long stay in Sa Pa, which for me was filled with ball games and walks, I finally set off to explore Vietnam. ‘Vietnam here we come’, I barked. Unfortunately, our euphoric start was slowed down so much that I still feel sick thinking about it today. As you know, I can take a lot. But what is too much is too much for a delicate dog soul like me. You can find out more at the following link Link: DOG THEFT

Nothing better could happen to me than traveling with my own caravan. My buddy Henkie had already recognized that correctly. People keep asking me if I miss my friends. Of course, I’m looking forward to a ballgame, to endless play and imagine myself dozing in the shade for hours with my good old buddy Sam, telling each other stories of years gone by. At the moment, however, I’m far too busy discovering, exploring the world and bathing in raging, cooling waterfalls. I’m telling you, the adventures with my humans are really great, challenge the whole dog and are addictive.

‘Uhhhh’, I only got a real fright recently. Dogs meet so many other animal friends and don’t think anything of it… After the ‘sniff it first’ motto, Deni’s horrified voice snapped me out of my olfactory heaven. Well, the poisonous green pest didn’t smell quite so good. ‘Ufghhhh. At least that was a very interesting encounter. You should have seen Deni’s face when he spotted the green snake. Really funny. His face was almost as green as the snake’s fur. ‘Ha, ha, ha. I’m going to go away. He called me back in horror and explained that this little worm had poisonous pointed teeth that could easily have dug into my nose. ‘Uhhhg’, a horrible thought.

However, there are many more dangerous animals in Vietnam than snakes. This was demonstrated to me by a trip we didn’t take. Passing a cow pasture, Denis on the bike, me in the trailer, we were chased by a stupid cow. Man oh man, she was really angry and wanted to take us on her horrible things that grow out of the middle of her head. Tanja drove behind us and warned us, which is why Denis sped off in turbo mode. Of course I cheered him on vigorously. Of course, who wants to have such a pointy thing stuck in their caravan? I tell you, we showed him where the hammer hangs. Since then, we’ve returned to the cow pasture every now and then. We put Tanja down to keep the cows at bay. That was an adventure. Especially when the whole herd thundered towards us. ‘Uhhhh!’ Denis explained to me that the cows were like that because of their calves. What a load of garbage, as if I was going to hurt the calves. The main thing is that they leave my ball alone. ‘Huuuuuuhhhhhh.

Tanja said I could carry her umbrella on our walks during the rainy season. Should also do something for my food. Nothing better than that. I would love to carry the umbrella for her on sunny days too. Since then she has called me Gentleman,… a great life as an expedition dog in Vietnam.”
