Diary Day One
Dear Mum, Dad, and Floor
I think I am gonna be OK. The Kiwi Mistress has taken me for a walk, she even didn't need to use Google Maps!
She fed me my dinner, thank goodness, which I gladly ate!
We are now sitting in the yard enjoying the sunshine, and the Kiwi Mistress is enjoying a glass of wine!
I will miss you all, but I am sure the Kiwi Mistress will do a grand job of caring for me.
Safe travels and have a wonderful holiday wtih my Canadian family.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Two
Dear Dad, Floor, and Mum
Well the Kiwi Mistress and I survived our first night on our own.
I decided to sleep downstairs, I hope you don't mind. We've had some lovely walks tordya and I've had my meals like a good boy.
The Kiwi Mistress also had a visitor, well I did too! Silke came around with my 'little' pawfriend, I have to say I as super pleased to see her!
Anyways we are about to get ready to go on our eveing walk soon, so best dash, and get myself ready! Hope your trip was good and you are all settled into your digs in Canada!
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Three
Dear Floor, Mum, and Dad
The Kiwi Mistress and I had a walk to the harbour this morning, but then we've had rain on and off through the day, so just had a mid-afternoon walk between showers, and we bumped into my special 'wee' friend and Silke gave me a bone and gosh it was delicious!
Silke then brought my 'special' friend around to our house and we ran around and around, and around, ..... on the lawn like a couple of lunatics! But goodness it was superb fun! I've eaten my food and looking forward to a nice walk this evening before bed.
The Kiwi Mistress is meeting an old work colleague from NZ, who works in Amsterdam for dinner, so I will be home for a bit on my own, but I'll be OK. She'll take me for a walk when she gets back, in case I need to go to the toilet.
Anyways, I best dash, the Kiwi Mistress is cooking, so I'm just going to see what the smell is all about.
Hope you've all had a good day, and that you are not too jet lagged. Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Four
Dear Pawparents and Pawster
Quiet day on the home front today, the Kiwi Mistress and I have got into our routine, although I did upset it overnight! Now don't panic, I slept upstairs last night for the first time since you left, and I eventually allowed the Kiwi Mistress to take me downstairs in the morning. What can I say, I got hungry!
Hope all is going well with your trip and you are enjoying reconnecting with our Canadian family.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Five
Dear Hoomans
The Kiwi Mistress and I have had a good day, with some wallks in the sunshine when it was out! At least no rain today! I have to say I prefer my morning walk after my breakfast the best, when there are less people, modes of transport, and other dogs, it soooo much quieter then! I'm all up to date with my meals and the Kiwi Mistress gives me a treat 'every not and again'!
Hope you are all having a good day, and not missing me toooo much!
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Six
Dear Family
The Kiwi Mistress and I have had a lovely day, wth some walks in the sunshine and I've had a couple of visits from that 'special little lady' in my life! Silke even brounught me a couple of 'hooves' to munch on, although I notices she only gave me one! I wonder where she hid the other one, might have to go 'hoof hunting'!
Silke has also invited the Kiwi Mistress around for dinner tonight, which the Kiwi reckons is lovely. The reason I think is lovely is that I get to go too! Don't like my chances of getting dinner though!
Anyway, I best dash, need to get ready to go to Silke's place.
Hope all is well with you all.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Seven
Dear Everyone
Well what a mixed bag of weather we've had today! Thunder, lightening, and squally showers oen minute and then brilliant sunshine the next!
We managed to have our walks, just our timing was a bit out!
I caught up with my 'girlfriend' today and she stayed with us a bit, while Silke went to the supermarket, as she'd invited the Kiwi Mistress to dinner again!
Any all is well, the bin was put out and brought back in again! The Kiwi Mistress is quite good a these domestic chores!
Anyway I must fly. its time to have some ball game time again!
Hope alls great with you all.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Eight
Dear Fam Damily
Sorry for the delay in sending this to you. The Kiwi Mistress wasn in the groove of working on her latest website! It was a very dull drizzly day here, but we got in our walks around the neighbourhood. It was quite fun actually, I came around the corner, and there was a cat! Eyes wide open, heckles up, and paralysed to the spot! The Kiwi Mistress wouldn't let me chase after it though, spoil sport!
We saw my 'special' friend and had a game of chase around the yard.
The Kiwi Mistess and I also played with the toys inside, when we couldn't go out.
That's me away to bed, hope you've all had a good day and have a lovely evening,
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Nine
Dear All
A social day for me, as I had Floitja visit me and then I got to visit her, while the Kiwi Mistress got to scoff apple strudel!
The Kiwi Mistress muttered something about it 'thank goodness its the weekend', I'm sure that'll not make any difference to me!
The sun joined us again today, which has made our walks that much more enjoyable!
Other than that no news at our end, hope you are all enjoing your break in Canada!
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Ten
Dearest Fur Parents and Fursister
A quiet Saturday nere, I've done the usual things of eating, walking, playing, and of course sleeping!
The Kiwi Mistress continues to provide me with my allotted snack allowance, and I continue to try and convince her that 2:30 pm is the new 4:30 pm, but I 'm not winning that battle!
Anywho must away, the Kiwi Mistress is going upstairs to read, which means its me bedtime!
Hope you are all still having a fab time!
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Eleven
Dearest Family
That's the weekend done according to the Kiwi Mistress, I just looked at her like 'huh'!
We went to Silke's to watch the Formula 1 and then came home for my dinner, and then went back to Silke's for the Kiwi Mistresses dinner - hot dogs and oh my goodness they smelt delicious! I was told in no uncertain terms that I was not allowed any - boo hoo!
We continue to follow the routine of feeding, walking, playing, and an occasional snack. The Kiwi Mistress says I am a creature of habit, even with where I look to go for my walks, and believe it or not where I pee along the way!
Well best dash, the Kiwi Mistress is going to play some ball with me before its time to come in for the night.
Hope all is well with you all.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Twelve
Happiest of Greetings My Dearest Family
Its been a day of rain, rain and then some more rain!
The Kiwi Mistess and I managed to do our walks without drowning, but it was touch and go!
We'e had some games inside with my toys to liven things up!
All is well here, hope you are all faring well in Canada!
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Thirteen
Howdy Family
Not much to report here, eaten, slept, walked, and some inside, and outside play time.
The Kiwi Mistress left me home alone when she went to dinner at Silke's, as she had Thelma and Louise there, and I don't like them all that much! But when the Kiwi Mistress came back, I could smell all the dogs on her, nothing working with my sense of smell! Ha, caught her!
Anyway going to head off, the Kiwi Mistress is going into the TV room to ready a bit, so I might just forgive her enough for hanging out with other dogs and give her a wee snuggle!
Hope your holiday is going well.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
P.S. The Kiwi Mistress has put the green bin out!
Diary Day Fourteen
Dearest Family
Geeze, what. day with teh weather, but we still managed to get out and about for our walks without drowning!
Floitja came over for a play this afternoon, and then we went to her house for dinner, well the Kiwi Mistresses dinner, nothing for me, except nibbling on a treat or two! Neither Silke or the Kiwi Mistress would share their dinners - hardly fair I say, but you get that when you are a dog!
Hope you've all had a good day.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Fifteen
Dear Floor, Mum, and Dad
I can't believe it, the Kiwi Mistress took great delight in laughing at me today, when I was chasing my tail around in circles! It was like I as her muse, pffft, not too impressed! Although it did eventually lead me to being fed my dinner, so I consider myself a winner on that count!
Alls well here, weather still very changeable, but we time our walks and playing in the yard round the weather forecast app and seem to be timing it right!
Hope alls good.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Sixteen
Greetings To You All
We found the sun! Well for most of the day!
Walks, meals, play and hanging out with Floitja a couple of times, once at home and once at Silke’s for G&Ts! It’s OK, don’t panic the G&Ts were for the Kiwi Mistress, not me, I’m underage! Although thats in dog years, in human years I am legal!
Anyways I’m off to bed, I’ve left the Kiwi Mistress down stairs and I’ve gone upstairs to sleep!
Only two more sleeps till I see you all again.
Enjoy your last days in Canada and say hi to the Canadian family from me.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
Diary Day Seventeen
Dearest Everybody
I can't believe its finally here! One more sleep and you will all be home with me again!
It was a day of walks, feeds, play, and sleep, so not much to report at my end! The Mistress Kiwi and I went to Silke's for a 'last supper', so I got to play with Floitja, which was a lot of fun!
I'm off to bed, I figure the sooner I go to sleep, the sooner it will be morning, and you will all be here with me again!
Safe travels.
Love Ollie 🐾💙
