The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

Humums and dads get quite upset when their TARDIS doesn't work as it means lots of kibble money down the drain.
Wait, what? The TARDIS being sick can affect my DINNER? And maybe my breakfast and second breakfast and my snack? This is much more of a catastrophe that I thought. Madre de dios! Now I understand why ML was crying. Maybe humans are not as ridiculous as I thought. It is certainly logical to cry over missed dinner!

Hallo Leute! Ja, ich bin da! Ihr Carbon! Kennst du mich nicht?

Hola todos! Si, si
, it is me, Carbon, but now I learn German with ML so we speak the German all the time. La verdad, the truth, is that I am starting to miss when ML speaks Spanish to me.

Oh, my Spanish home: sun, beach, garden, my friend Reuben...oh wait! That is Cornwall. Maybe I am Cornish now? La verdad, the truth, is that I've seen more of Cornwall than Spain. In Spain, they mainly kept me in a box. I did not see much of the world. I saw a lot of my Bodeguero companion Paul's fuzzy backside and a lot of wire cages but I did NOT see a lot of sun, beach and garden.

Dios mio, I am rambling again. Donde estoy? Where am I?

Oh, si...or ja...or yes. Pfft! I don't know anymore! Now I am beginning to understand why ML is so mixed up the head: too many words!

Un pequeño update on how I am doing with my new super drug that is putting the good oxygen back into my incredibly attractive blood. Primero, first, I do not mind the Spritze. That is "injection" in German. It sounds better that way, more like one of those drinks that ML sometimes has with mi amor Fine's mum Nadine on Wednesday Pub Night. Como he dicho, as I was saying, I do not mind them because ML gives me cookies afterwards. A cookie makes everything in the world OK, no?

ML says now I am "full of beans". I do not eat beans so I do not understand, but I do have a lot more energy now. This week ML had to sit and stare her computer and be aburrida, boring, a lot, so we do our walks very early in the morning so she has more time to be boring. When we come to a big empty square in the Altstadt, Old Town, where we live, ML takes off my lead and says, "Go play!"

At the beginning of the week when she did this, I found some deleeecious crumbs between the cobblestones and left my news on a few blades of grass. Run? Pfft! I did not feel like running. Today she did the same and I ran a big circle around the carousel and then another around the sausage stands. Weeeeee!!!!! ML loves this and says, "Toro, toro" and holds her imaginary cape for me to charge. The ONLY good kind of bullfighting is with a Spanish gentleman dog!

ML and I are doing better too. Since our Dia de Mierda (Very Bad Day) on Monday, she is not so grumpy to me. She says I am a very special gentleman to put up with the likes of her. Ja, ja, ich bin ein cooler Kerl. I am a cool dude. Oh Pfft! Now she has me speaking German AND California surfer dialect. Really, it is all very confusing.

Anyway, lo mas importante, the most important is that we are both feeling better on the inside and looking good on the outside. Well...I am looking good on the outside. I am still working on ML!

Einen schönen Abend, buenas Noches and to all a good night, il tuo Carbone. (Pfft! Now she has me speaking Italian too?)

Hola todos! I am so zippy dippy doo and goofy too! Si, si, that does not sound Spanish, but it is what ML keeps saying to me, so I have learned it. I am a very smart Spanish gentleman dog. But also a very loco, CRAAAAZY, one! Si, si, with my new super wonderful medication, I am...let me see if I can remember what ML says:

"OhmygodCarbonyouarebouncingoffthewallscan'tImakeyoubequietagainohmygod"

Dios mio, that is a very long word. I do not understand it, do you?

It does not matter because I do not have el tiempo, the time, to understand. No, no. Because I am busy running here and sniffing there and jumping on my friend Fine and making her snap snap at me! Oh si, si! I have so much energy I must share it with the world! I have to end every sentence with an exclamation mark! Oh si!

Now when we go out and ML lets me off the lead, I run circles around the carousel and circles around the fountain and circles around the Bratwurst stand and circles around ML until she gets dizzy. Circles!! Wooooooo!!! I also flirt shamelessly with all the girls and the boys too. Rub my belly! Kiss my head! If you do not I will climb into your lap and kiss you instead!

Yesterday I got to see my favourite Dr. Patzak and she also says I am doing "Viel besser", a lot better. Our appointment was at 6:45am, which meant ML and I had to get up at 5:30am to get there on time. But I did not care because I am "OhmygodCarbonyouarebouncingoffthewallscan'tImakeyoubequietagainohmygod".

ML asked Dr. Patzak if we could make me healthy but maybe not SO VERY HEALTHY. Dr. Patzak did not think that was very funny and I do not either. Pfft! Life is 100 times better now that I can run and run and run and run and... ojala! you get the idea.

Vale, ok, it is now 7:30am which means it is time to jump up and down on ML's head until she takes me for a very very long walk. Oh si, she will scream "OhmygodCarbonyouarebouncingoffthewallscan'tImakeyoubequietagainohmygod" but she will take me out because she luuuuuvs me.

Hasta pronto, mis amigos!

Are you on steroids Carbòn?
ML thinks it is cocaine. Of course I do not know what that means as I am an innocent Spanish gentleman dog.

A German word for sure!
You understand everything, wise Tante Mags. All the best long words ARE German.

I think Cassie would like you to come here because obviously she loves you, but perhaps you could bounce about with little Reeva?
Ojala! I wish! Reeva and I could have a good time and run and bounce and run and bounce. I can tell by her fluffy ears that she is my kind of girl.

However, poor ML needs a rest, although I know she is delighted to see you feel so happy and bouncy.
I do not know if "delighted" is the correct word. I would ask her, but she is taking a nap. Maybe her human veterinarian could give HER some of the magical wonderful medication and then we can bounce TOGETHER?
