The first morning walk

The first morning walk was at 07.30 am after Manuel had been away since 06.00 am trying to wake me up, as well as trying to wake my mother up. He was not in a "panic of need" because then he will give you one bark, and you know he is in a hurry.

No it was more walking in the room, snorting to get your attention. It is always like this here at the summer-house.

Here we have large windows where the light hits the floor much earlier and where he can have a good look outside. So no matter how charming his snorting and timid way of waking people up I thought it would be best if I listened to his request not making him go around asking all others again, and again, and again.

We had a lovely short morning-walk before breakfast. Then Manuel was tired again, and went to sleep outside.

The second morning walk

Then it was time with the second morning walk before it got too hot. So today I brought Mikael and Manuel to walk the same trail we did yesterday.

I asked Mikael to bring a nice lens that could catch all the beauty in the woods - and so he did, as well as the tripod.

At first Manuel thought it was boring as we stopped all the time, taking pictures. But as the path started to go  up and down, stopping for fun activities, crossing small creeks and large fields he became more and more alert.  Personally I just love it "up there" and feel like I am in "Hobbit-land".

If Manuel doesn't get water to drink after a while he will slow down and just won't move. So we usually bring water for him. Now, he had both water from a bottle as from the creeks so he was fresh and happy. /Charlotte
