Just a little note to say we made it into February already, and it looks like it could be spring soon… Whenever I write something this it usually starts to snow the next day (I hope it won’t this time!). So far, we had two mornings with sunshine (though the day I took the picture above wasn’t one of them) and a little less mud in the park during our daily walks. Just a tiny bit less, I still look as though I did a face plant in the mud when we come home, because Micro loves to jump up into my arms – preferably right after he ran through a mud puddle.

We are in the middle of the Apartment Therapy January Cure and I am finding it really hard this time (5th or 6th time I’ve done it now, I think). Not having had a real break for Christmas, on top of which both of us got sick, and the dog couldn’t handle the emotional roller-coasters and got sick too, and then having jumped straight back into work without rest on the weekends… well, let’s just say it has  taken a lot of determination to get through the tasks this year. Yes, I know, it will all be worth it later, right?

This is how we hope our pets travel. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. A few weeks ago Micro (together with us) met super (dog) model Elle and her human, who had just come back from a trip to Paris. And, of course, we got chatting about how to travel with dogs – one has to exchange tips and tricks, right?
