On the road again…to Italy

Hi everydog!!Hope you're having some really nice weather where you are. It's in the upper 70's here in Germany which the humans find to be quite pleasant...but without A/C I have to say it's a bit warm. At least the mornings are still nice and cool, though. And we get...

The Defi is gonna be jealous

We're doing something a bit different for Easter this year. We usually visit Locarno, Switzerland, to get in some climbing. The weather is usually a bit warmer there than here in Germany and we can enjoy our first taste of the summer....but this year a pretty yucky...

What’s with the weather?

The weather in Frankfurt is notoriously bad. The winters aren't harsh but they are filled with many, many rainy days where the sky remains gray for what seems like months at a time and you just hope and pray for the day when spring and summer finally arrive. This...

Build your own climbing wall

I'm sure this might seem absurd and perhaps even a bit frivolous...but if you know us, you know w love to go climbing. Unfortunately there are not many places close to us which allow us to do decent climbing. There is an indoor hall in Frankfurt but it's always...

We finally got in some climbing

We finally got in some climbing

As you might have guessed, we're already home and have been for over a week now. But we didn't get around to writing anything on Sunday or Monday because we were busy doing some climbing and then driving home. Sunday morning we got up and went to have breakfast and...

Home at last

We're back from our short vacation in Switzerland. All in all, Ayla did great and we were really happy that she was so relaxed during the trip. She slept during a major portion of the ride home and has slept a lot the few hours we have been home which we expected...

Lots of driving and walking

We're not really sure at the moment that Ayla is having all that much fun on this vacation so far. Yesterday we drove from Frankfurt to Locarno, Switzerland, which meant about 7 hours in the truck traveling. She's always great during car rides but we could tell she...

Not the best day for climbing

This morning we were the first ones at Arcegno, a pretty nice area with a couple of routes in our range. Since we haven't climbing in about a year due to getting the dog, buying the farm and other things that took up our time, we basically have to stick to the easiest...

Off for the first day of climbing

We arrived without incident in Locarno yesterday. We didn't take Ayla with us when we checked in but we ran into the owners over the course of the afternoon anyway. They didn't seem too alarmed by her size although she massively dwarfed their 4 kg Chihuahua.After we...
