Dante: Friendship Embassador.

Dante: Friendship ambassador!

Could not have designed a better travel partner. 

We left the tranquil serene and muse infused deck and home in the very Western edge of Clearlake, temperature in the low 90's at the extreme. This is where this blog first started . . . with four or five entries!

Now a totally different scene. There Dante was loved and very calm and comfortable.

Here, he initially did not want to enter into the homestead where there is always lots going on; and where there is a puppy twice his size, always hungry and when ever Dante's name is called there is that puppy. Dante, being the perfect gentleman, stands aside. No wonder he resisted joining.

He can let it be known when he is unhappy. If he has one fault it is that he doesn't guard his own food.

Small problem. 

As delightful as he is, he is often the first to be acknowledged. ("Who, me, jealous?")

The homestead we are now visiting is of wonderful friends who own and run the homestead, currently also home to an additional three lovely young people, traveling around and making themselves useful, as wwoofies. WWOOF (World Wide Opportunity on Organic Farms).

The homestead serves as an ideal instructive, productive, and fun place to drink up some essential survival skills and training. 

Growing, harvesting, putting up, sharing, cooking and relaxing . . . music, interesting people. 

The homestead is indeed a beehive of activities, including bee keeping and goat farm husbanding.

Dante only takes an hour or so before he is comfortable and getting played with, or left alone as he desires.

Takes me longer. 

We are here for a week or so then moving on.
