Right before going to bed I sent a letter to some relatives and friends to ask there advice about my plan for a sponsoring party. Am I drawing too much attention to my own person? In a few days I hope the answers will make me a little smarter.
Today I walked 17 miles again with my 2 animal friends. Without any problem we crossed the little river which is the frontier with Germany. At least 30 yards through the water, something he always stubbornly refused before. Nowadays, when crossing water, I first take off my Meindle walking shoes and I put on plastic wading shoes. We crossed a couple (for horses) frightening hikers bridges without problems. Also today we could get used to pouring rain showers. At the end of the day, I had no blisters, the horse walked energetic, no laming dog. Luka hardly ever bites any more. The dog, Joep, who a couple months ago still was very excited with the horse, chasing it, biting it, along with a lot of barking and squeezing, seems to have forgotten all those nasty attitudes. Lately I leave dog and horse in the same barn at night, though separated, to get them more acquainted. Also I got Luka used to waiting for me, Luka tied with a rope to a tree, while I’m having a drink somewhere. We start becoming a team. Hey…
