I was looking forward to see our new dog Balou (German Shepard) again but also a bit sad because good old Benno had passed away three weeks before Christmas. Well he was nearly 12 years old, which is quite old for a German Shepard. Balou was looking for him for days guess he is missing him too.
I took Balou for a walk to the old village of Biot which is just about a ten minute walk from the house. Later we walked down the beautiful hiking trail “Sentiere la Brague”.
I stayed at home in the evening. Annemarie cooked a wonderful meal for me.This morning the sun is shining and there has been not a single cloud in the sky. Walked to the village and got the newspaper. Then I had some coffee at the piazza.
Later I went down to the pool reading one of my books. In the late afternoon I walked Balou down the river again.
When we went up the hill the neighbours goat had sneaked out from their property. I was afraid that Balou might attack the little goat just as Benno did a few years ago. That was really dramatic and we had to put the goat to the vet because it was badly injured.But in this case Balou was the one who seemed to be totally scared and the goat took advantage and walked right towards Balou. He screamed like a little baby and it took all my strength to hold him and walk up with him the last few steps to our house. Well even though he looks like a grownup big German Shepard he somehow is still like a puppy. You can also tell from his voice because it is still not very deep. If you only hear the dog you will be totally surprised when you all of a sudden see him appear.
In the late evening I will pick up my friend Claudia from the airport. Tomorrow the MIDEM, the biggest music fair will start in Cannes and we will have a look. Maybe there is a chance to see a show or something.
Balou from Biot says hello to Clare and Mr. Big in LA and best wishes for Clares birthday - woof!
