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

[M.F.]

Your stamina is impressive @Emily_Babbelhund !!! And yes, I am with you on the relishing doing nothing on a flight. I can’t wait to just watch one movie after the next with no guilty feeling that I should be doing something useful! Although on my last flight, I could not keep my eyes open.

Best wishes to you and Carbon for a safe and wonderful trip to see Cookie Man.

Hola amigos! That is all for Germany, we are now waiting for the plane to visit Cookie Man. I had a big wee and a big tu-sabes-qué, and a big walk around Munich airport that I did not really need but it is tradition so we did it.

We are both muy cansado, very tired, so we are happy to sit and do nothing (like Amiga @M.F. said). We would rather do nothing in a comfy sofa with a view of the sea, but life is full of compromises, sí?

And I am about to be fed mas o menos constantly - and food I am normally not allowed like popcorn, crisos, cereal - for the next six weeks. With that in mind, the plane ride does not seem bad at all!

In professional dog mode

Carbon looks very relaxed. Have a pleasant journey

You might be on the plane now, so a good journey. Cookie Man must be feeling excited to seeing you both again.

Good luck with your trip.
I get that's its more than just a fun trip when you go home.
Hope you find a beach Carbòn

As usual, I have been tracking your flight Carbon and see that you are halfway there . I took Reuben into the garden, pointed to the sky and said , Your best pal is up there lad ! xx

Thank you for the kind messages - and to Kate for flight tracking. Didn’t mean to keep you up so late!

It was a long but easy flight. Carbón was so very good - really I think the best he’s ever been on a flight. Either it’s his age and sheer number of flights (this is about the 20th Europe to California haul he’s done) or it was simple exhaustion after our mad dash from Cornwall, fun but busy days in Brittany, and then a further mad dash to Germany.

We did have some minor adventures en route that I hope Carbón can fit into his busy Cookie Man snacking schedule to tell you about later.

@Jacqui-S very astutely you are correct that the US is not a trip for fun. Culture shock (and price shock) has already hit hard and there’s all that messy ‘family stuff’ (enough said) but Carbón will help me have some special moments too. He’s a good teacher that way.

Carbón using my foot for a pillow as he always does. (We got rid of that icky plastic airline blanket after take off. )

Carbon is such a good dog and probably the most travelled in an aeroplane, let alone on land

Hearing about Carbon’s 20 trans-Atlantic flights (he returned, so 40?)…!! I just love Carbon’s rags to riches story. The Book. We want to read The Book!! Have I mentioned that before? Carbon, you might need to write it yourself as your ML is too modest.

Yes! As I have said before, Carbon must write his book, it would be a number 1 sell out.
