magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Mar 2, 2008, 4:39 am	My first voyage was today with mom! We visited the historic town of Old Folsom. I got to browse the stores and wonder the streets. It was so beautiful! Mom took my picture in a toothbrush pitcher outside the famouse Clouds of Folsom shop!
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Mar 29, 2008, 4:41 am	I have been found! I can't believe Mom cleaned and "misplaced" me! Jeeze! Over the Easter Holiday I went with mom to the bay area to visit her family. We had alot of fun, and got some pictures at the Carquinez Bridge! The boats coming in off the bay were so huge! Snuggles and Galaxy came with us.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Mar 29, 2008, 4:45 am	Happy Easter! For Eater we dyed eggs and ate candy, it was so much fun! After that Mom's Aunts took us to Point Isabel, which has a great dog park! Woof! I got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and the City of San Fransisco. It was really pretty! Later we headed back home, but passed the C and H sugar company.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Mar 31, 2008, 4:24 am	So Yesterday mom got antsy and we went down to San Fransisco with her friend Ally. It was a bunch of fun, we saw an art school, then headed down to the peirs, and spent the day at the famouse Pier 39. It was so much fun! we saw sea lions, Alkatraz, the golden gate, gulls, an there were so many people! it was amazing!
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Apr 2, 2008, 5:47 pm	I am FINALLY on my way to my next host! I said good bye to all my old and new friends and headed East to West Virginia!
MissMelissa Posted Apr 6, 2008, 12:45 am	Hello! I made it. I think I've managed to venture to the weird wilderness. It's like a jungle here! I am in West Virginia, now I only have 48 more states to go! West Virginia's license plates say "Wild and Wonderful" and I definitely see where that comes from. Although spring hasn't quite hit yet, so it's still a little gloomy. With any luck, I'll get to see some more of this place in full bloom. Upon my arrival, I met another dog named Davey. We had matching tags! Only his says DAVEY HAVOK and a phone number. He isn't lucky enough to have a toyvoyager ID like I do... XOXO Carl
MissMelissa Posted Apr 6, 2008, 2:04 am	Guess what? I was the guest of honor for the party planning committee's welcoming extravaganza. It sounds like a made up name for a last minute party, but I think it was just their way of making me feel more at home. Because there were more My Little Ponies than I expected. We mingled, we gossiped, we're totally BFF.
MissMelissa Posted Apr 6, 2008, 10:11 pm	Well, after a breakfast that Melissa called "Early Grave Breakfast," my hosts decided to go to Marietta to the flea market. Goodness gracious! See the 'Welcome to Ohio' sign? That means that I've visited another state! Only 47 more to go! This bridge crosses the Ohio River, which serves as the border of WV and OH. Our first stop was the flea market. It is a bit unsavory. And filthy. Our hosts made no purchases and were sad they drove all that way for a big building full of worthless junk  Here we are driving down the main street in Marietta. It's a really nice town, quaint and the buildings are older. Here are some "fun facts" about Marietta: -Founded in 1788, Marietta is the oldest city in Ohio. -The population was 14,515 at the 2000 census. -Marietta is the home of the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival, which brings dozens of sternwheelers to the banks of the Ohio River. Speaking of sternwheelers, this is the Becky Thatcher. It is permanently docked in the Muskingum River because it is for sale. It used to be a restaurant. I tried to commandeer it, but believe me, it isn't going anywhere. We stopped by the box office to try to buy tickets aboard the Becky Thatcher, but no one was there. Here is a fun cannon we found. Look at this! There were blue and silver pinwheels all over the place! There were 1552 of them. They were placed on the lawn to raise awareness for child abuse and neglect. There was one pinwheel for every reported case in 2006. I hope it works! Here I am on the bank of the Ohio River. This time it's West Virginia that is behind me. You can see the bridge we were riding on earlier in the background And here we are going back across the bridge home. It's been a really long day! XOXO, Crazy Carl
MissMelissa Posted Apr 6, 2008, 10:21 pm	Oh, I almost forgot! Last night we went out in a rush to catch a really nice sunset. Unfortunately, this part of West Virginia is atypically flat and it's hard to catch a good picture. But trust me, it was really, really pretty! Of course, Melissa had a hard time getting the pictures to look right without my mug blurring it all up. So she took another one without me in it to show just how pretty it was. What can I say? I like the spotlight!
MissMelissa Posted Apr 13, 2008, 2:08 am	Hey everybody! It's been a while, but that's only because the weather has been so terrible. We got a new visitor, Yum Yum the bear yesterday. Which is good, because Strider the cat is very moody. Anyway, we went to a few parks today. First we visited a wildlife refuge park. Here is a picnic shelter. Rustic! Then Melissa let me and Davey run around a tennis court. I am so much faster than he is..Despite my short little legs. Then Melissa helped me up so I could get my picture taken with this plane. They sure don't want anyone getting too close to it... Then we found this caboose. In quite the random place, don't you think? All in all, it was much more exciting than yesterday. A little cold, but much more fun. Yesterday was wet and boring! I'll update again as soon as we find something else fun to do! XOXO, Carl
MissMelissa Posted Apr 18, 2008, 8:36 pm	Hiya! Melissa wanted to formally apologize for taking so long to update. Her school schedule is making her crazy. So, today we went to hang out in Parkersburg. We went to Point Park, which is where the ferry for Blennerhassett Island docks, but it (sadly) doesn't open until May. So, we just took some pictures since we were already there. Another bridge. This one bridges Belpre, Ohio to Parkersburg, West Virginia. Here are a few more. One is in front of the flood wall that closes to protect the city if it floods. The town Melissa lives in doesn't have a flood wall, so I don't know what would happen there if the rivers flooded...
MissMelissa Posted Apr 18, 2008, 9:19 pm	We also went to Riverview Cemetery to take some pictures. Melissa goes there from time to time to take pictures of the statues. It's really pretty there despite being, you know... a graveyard. Here we are on the path around the perimeter of the cemetery. Look, the leaves are popping out! We played in the ivy and I was almost completely covered! This is a gravestone that is really creepy. There are stories that sometimes the statue cries. I didn't see anything, but I certainly didn't stick around too long! Then we just followed Melissa along while she took some photographs. Here are two of them:
MissMelissa Posted Apr 26, 2008, 3:36 am	Hello again! We had a little bit more adventuring today. This is a bird's eye view of Parkersburg. We went to Quincy Hill park today and stayed there until a tree fell down and scared the crap out of Melissa. Apparently, in 1909, there was a terrible disaster on this hill. Quote: At 5:10 a.m. on March 19, 1909, Parkersburg's two reserve water tanks, sitting atop Prospect Hill (now Quincy Hill), burst and sent two million gallons of water cascading down the side of the hilll and into the streets of the city. Each tank, made of iron and sitting on a stone foundation, was 40 feet high and 60 feet in diameter. They were pumped full every night from the city water works located at the foot of 12th Street. Apparently one of the 26-year-old tanks broke first, and the gushing water smashed its bottom plates against the companion tank, ten feet away. A cottage on the hillside above Avery was washed away and carried down Tenth Street to Market, killing the young newlyweds who lived there. A couple of other houses were shattered, and St. John's Lutheran Church on Avery at 9½th Street was nearly demolished. Trees were washed through the walls of Sumner, the city's black school, and several streets were choked with the debris of other trees and lumber from the destroyed houses. A barbershop in the basement of the Blennerhassett Hotel, six blocks to the south, had two inches of mud on its floor. In all, three people died and several were badly injured. So I am standing where the tanks were, and everything down below me was flooded and destroyed. That's kinda scary. These stairs go from Quincy Hill all the way down to Avery Street. Melissa says people run up and down them to train for all the marathons they hold in the summer. Those people must be nuts! Here's a tank in the park. Melissa had no explanation for the tank or why people here put weird vehicles in playgrounds. Bizarre. Then I climbed this pretty tree for no particular reason. Goodbye, Quincy Park. It's been lovely. XOXO, Carl
MissMelissa Posted Apr 26, 2008, 1:59 pm	I think after crawling around in that tree, my allergies are kicking up a little. Every morning, Melissa's car is covered in pollen. It's a really bad place to be for your nose. Yesterday we went a few more places. This is the gate to the Julia-Ann Square Historic district. We were just passing through. This is the Chancellor house in the historic district. Melissa says if it wasn't so boring in this town, she would storm this house and claim it as her own and live there forever. She would probably die of boredom at age 30, though. Isn't it a pretty house?
MissMelissa Posted Apr 26, 2008, 7:12 pm	Our last stop for the day was the Blennerhassett Museum in Parkersburg. Quote: Harman Blennerhassett (8 October 1765 – 2 February 1831), Irish-American lawyer, born in Castle Conway in County Kerry, Ireland to Conway Blennerhassett and Elizabeth Lacy. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and in 1790 was called to the Irish bar. After living for several years on the continent, he married in 1796 his niece, Margaret Agnew, daughter of Robert Agnew, the lieutenant-governor of the Isle of Man. Ostracised by their families for this step, the couple decided to settle in America, where Blennerhassett in 1798 bought a (now-eponymous) island in the Ohio river about 2 miles below what is now Parkersburg, West Virginia. Here in 1805 he received a visit from Aaron Burr, in whose conspiracy he became interested, furnishing liberal funds for its support, and offering the use of his island as a rendezvous for the gathering of arms and supplies and the training of volunteers. When the conspiracy collapsed, the mansion and island were occupied and plundered by the Virginia militia. Blennerhassett fled, was twice arrested and remained a prisoner until after Burr's release. The island was then abandoned, and Blennerhassett was in turn a cotton planter in Mississippi, and a lawyer (1819-1822) in Montreal, Canada. After returning to Ireland, he died on the island of Guernsey in 1831. His wife, who had considerable literary talent and who published The Deserted Isle (1822) and The Widow of the Rock and Other Poems (1824), returned to the United States in 1840, and died soon afterward in New York City while attempting to obtain through Congress payment for property destroyed on the island. The buildings on his island have since been restored and the location is now Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, a popular tourist attraction. Here's a really old car in the museum. I wonder why they don't make wooden cars anymore? Here is a machine they used to use for broom-making. It looks more like an evil torture device to me. Here is a case with the death mask of Aaron Burr, the scoundrel! Here's a painting of a lady that was from an important family in the area. I think she's a snappy dresser. Here is a whole lot of paintings of a whole lot of important people from a long time ago. And some classy metal folding chairs. They had a display of all of these old dolls. Some of them were really, really old. Melissa was hoping to find a Blythe doll and an unlocked cabinet  Here I am in front of an exhibit of a typical Victorian-era living room. Here I am in front of.... That's just plain silliness. The First Shoe?!!! Then Strider, Yum Yum and I watched a video about Blennerhassett Island. We went home and said goodbye to YumYum, who's off to Malaysia! XOXO, Carl
MissMelissa Posted May 2, 2008, 8:03 pm	Hi Mom! I'm on my way to India. I left today at around 2:30. It's already hot in this envelope, I hope it's a short trip! Goodbye West Virginia, goodbye USA!
Mosuha Posted May 7, 2008, 10:45 pm	Hello Mooooommmmmy..... Imagine, I made it to India!!! I tell you, this is a hot country, man.... I met a bunch of other tvs, all wants to go with my host to the north of india and see the Taj Mahal.... We had a nice long chat, they wanted to know, where I was comming from and they told me, that since weeks it's getting hotter and hotter every day in Chennai... At the moment its arround 40 degrees in the daytime, which is 104 Fahrenheit, if I count that right.... pfuee... But anyway, I guess, we'll have a lot of fun all together.... For the journey, which will start at the 24th of may, every one of us has a travelpartner, to not get lost and to take care of each other. My travelpartner is Roderich, a dude from Germany, who is really a fun guy ( for a cat.....pardon.....for a panther). So, let the party begin... hugs and kisses, yours Carl
Mosuha Posted May 9, 2008, 10:35 pm	Oh maaaaaan, today it was over 40 degrees and I felt like melting, but anyway, we made a little trip around the city of Chennai... Imagine, 7 Million people live here, but when we drove thrue, it seemed more to be a very very huge villiage... And I was really toughed, as we passed by the fishermen area. These people are one of the poorest who live here and they are not really accepted by the other citizens. The Tsunami in Decembre 2005 destroyed a lot of their houses and about 13.000 people died along the beach area of chennai.... Kumar, our driver, told us, that there were everywhere dead bodys laying on the streets and still today, the families are faced with problems.... Some still have no actuall home, but just tents from plastic bags..... That's so sad.... Near this area, there is the St. Thomas church, we actually wanted to visit and how give so much hope to this people.... This building is really beautifull, don't you think?!
Mosuha Posted May 23, 2008, 8:38 pm	Finally, we all were waiting so long for it..... Tomorrow we will start our trip into the north of India..... jiiiipppiiihheee.... Jaipur - Agra (Taj Mahal) - Delhi - Manali - Keylong- Sarchu - Leh .......... We will be back at the 9th of June..... Today we all helped packing the suitcase, everyone is now in charge of something..... Roderich and I are in charge of one tvs dairy..... Thanks to god, we don't have to travel in the suitcase, we have our very own, very comfortable backpack..... (as comfortable as if can be, with such a travelbunch!) We'll surely have a lot of fun..... I will tell you everything later..... BYE BYE..... ...we are off.....
Mosuha Posted Jun 10, 2008, 11:25 am	Hey mommy, we are back..... and it was sooo exciting! I saw a lot of the north of india and will show you also as much as I can.....  it will take a while, I guess..... Mona and Uli alltogether took arround 900 picures just of us tvs.... pfeeew... After we had a long journey, because one flight from Mumbai to Jaipur was canceled, we arrived in Jaipur very late. We enjoyed the warm welcome at the beautifull Jai Mahal Palace Hotel, ate something and went straight to bed. The next day we explored the region of Jaipur. Near by there is the big fort-palace of Amber, a beautiful, ethereal example of Rajput architecture, rises from a rocky mountainside. Amber was the ancient capitel of Jaipur state. Construction of the fort was begun in 1592 by Maharaja Man Singh and it was later extended by other rulers, so you can see a lot of very different buildings there. The last picture is one of the Hotel we stayed, the Jai Mahal Palace Hotel, it was just beautiful!!!
Mosuha Posted Jun 10, 2008, 1:37 pm	Monday we spent on the road.... Because there were some people called Gujjar, who demonstrated in a town near Agra and killed several others, the normal road from Jaipur to Agra was closed, so we had to take the long way over Delhi.... It took us 10 hours, so we arrived in our hotel in Agra again very late. But it was not as boring as it sounds. We saw a lot of funny vehicles at the so called HIGHWAY.... Near Agra I saw a nice building called Akbar Tomb.
Mosuha Posted Jun 10, 2008, 3:53 pm	Oh, this should be the great day! We woke up very early on tuesday, because we were all so excited to see the Taj Mahal. Imagine, we could even see it from the hotel's room, far far away.... We made as much noise as we could to wake up our hosts, we just couldn't wait! But than the big disapointment! At the entry to the place of the Taj Mahal, the guys said, we tvs are all not allowed to go inside. In fact, humans are only permitted to take their camera with them. These guys were very rude and sticked to their silly rules, Mona and Uli couldn't do anything. That was soooo sad! But our hosts went in and took some pictures for us. And they told us a little bit about the history of the Taj. Did you know these facts: The Taj was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th child. in 1631. The death of Mumtaz left the emperor so heartbroken that his hair is said to have turned grey overnight. Construction of the Taj began in the same year and was not completed until 1653. In total 20.000 people worked on the building. The construction bill is believed to have run to 3 Million Rupee equivalent to about 70 million US dollar today. As the Taj was ready, Shah Jahan let cut off the right hand of every worker, who built it, because he wanted to make sure, that they were not able to built another copy of Taj for any other man. And soon after the finishing, Shah Jahan's son became the Emperor and put his father into jail. He said, it is a big crime to built such an expansive building, while the folks have nothing to eat and die because of hunger. He put Shah Jahan into the Agra Fort from where he could see the Taj from his window every day, untill he died. We went to this place, and Shah must had the same view, we had as we took this picture of me and the Taj in the far. Still today it is a shame, that the goverment earns so much money every year from the visitors of the Taj Mahal, but Agra is still such a poor city. It is very dirty and many people have got nothing to eat. Around the place of the Taj a lot of beggars are, and you have totally to watch out, not to be cheated by shopowner and other people on the streets. So this was a not so nice expierience allover.... On our way to Delhi we than found another nice building. It is not as old as the Taj, but looks a little bit like it.... It's a hindu Temple near Agra.
Mosuha Posted Jun 11, 2008, 5:35 am	On wednesday we visited The National Gallery Of Modern Art in Delhi, it was was strange and weird, if you ask me! They showed an exibition called "Fluxus in Germany" with the famous artist Joseph Beuys. Later we saw some tombs and guess what... I was the only tv which was brave enough to go INSIDE.... hhhhuuuaaaa..... The Humanyun's Tomb is really a beautiful building, don't you think?!
Mosuha Posted Jun 11, 2008, 6:27 am	Today Roderich and I woke up very early (okeee, HE woke me up, he is such an active lillte guy...) and first thing we went down to the hotel's restaurant and drank a coffee. Later, together with the other tv's we went to the Red Fort in Delhi, but just Roderich and I could go inside, because the security check was very strick, and we both very small enough to not be noticed!  The Red Fort was built by the guy, who built the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan. The sandstone walls of the Red Fort extend for 2 km and vary in height from 18m to 33m. Shah Jahan began construction of the massive fort in 1638 and it was completed in 1648. Shah Jahan never completly moved his capitel from Agra to his new city of Shahjahanabad in Delhi, because he was deposed and imprisoned in Agra Fort by his son, as I told you before. Inside the fort are many buildings like halls of public and private audiences, royal baths, a mosque and nice, green gardens. I also found a very strange looking tree, and I had immediatly to pee...
Mosuha Posted Jun 11, 2008, 10:11 am	ooooooh yeaaaah... today we fly north of Delhi to Manali, which lies at an altidude of 2700m in the himalaya mountains and it was muuuuuuch less warm..... I loved that!!! In Manali we took a little walk to the town and than enjoyed the beautiflu view from the hotel room's balcony.
Mosuha Posted Jun 13, 2008, 8:25 am	Today was great. We first went to a place, where Mona, Uli and Repa gone for a white-water-rafting.... That was nothing for me, but we watched them. And I wondered about the smell, that lies over the valley...??? Than I found some plants, that grows there on every corner, like herbs.... Strange greens, don't you think?! Later we visited some other places in Manali and, near by, the village of Vashisht. In this area lives a lot of tibetan refugees, so you also find typicall tibetan houses and buddism temples.
Mosuha Posted Jun 13, 2008, 12:15 pm	Oh, I love the area of Manali. Everything is green, the weather is chilly and the people are friendly. Today we first visited some old temple and a cute, little castle. Naggar castle was capital of the Kullu Valley for nearly 1500 years and the castle was built by Raja Sidh Singh about 500 years ago in the classic Himachal wood ans stone blockwork style. The castle's courtyard contains a tiny Jagtipath Temple, which houses a slab of stone said to have been carried here by wild bees.... and a small museum. About 2 km uphill past the castle is the Roerich Gallery, a fine old house displaying the artwork of eccentric Russian painter Nikolai Roerich, who died in Naggar 1947, and his son Svetoslav Roerich. The distinctive Roerich style falls somewhere between surrealism and russian icon painting. It was very interesting! A five minute wark uphill from the gallery (which was extreme steeply), is the Urusvati Himalayan Folk & Art Museum, which houses a collection of embroidery and folk art.
Mosuha Posted Jun 13, 2008, 7:05 pm	We are on the road again and the first part of the route goes from Manali over the Rothang Pass, which is in an Altitude of about 4000 meters or 13050 ft, to Keylong. Keylong is 115 km north of Manali and in about an elevation of 3500m. Imagine, it took us 7 1/2 HOURS to drive 115km, just because the Leh-Manali-Road is partly so bad, and sometimes there are some streetworking in progress and you have to wait, till the way is free again. Anyway, the landscape is breathtaking and I really enjoyed travelling, although we all were totally shaked and had a little head pain, because of the altitude.
Mosuha Posted Jun 14, 2008, 11:59 am	Again, one day in the car. Today we drove the 140km from Keylong to Sarchu in about 7 hours. Look at this landscape, it was just so amazing!!! On our way we also saw a beautifull ice lake, I just love that picture. Near Sarchu we slept at a small tent camp ( 5 tents), which was build in the middle of nothing..... just an elevated plattform between some mountains. The ground was totatly dry in that high. You had to walk real slow, because you run out of breath so extremely fast.... I think, this place lied in an elevation of about 4000m, and your heart beats like hell.... I felt a little sick... As long as the sun was shining, it was quiet warm and the sky had the brightest color I've ever seen! But as the sun went down, it started to freeze. This night was sooooooooooooooooooooooo cold, you can't even imagine! brrrrrrrrr....... But this incredible view was all worth it!
Mosuha Posted Jun 16, 2008, 9:43 am	Today we took the last part of the roadtour, 245km from Sarchu to Leh in the region of Ladakh. That took us 10 hours this time. We came along some of the highest motorable passes of the world. Nakeela Pass at 15547 ft, which is 4738 meters, Lachulunga at 16616 ft, which is 5065 meters, and Taglamgla at 17592 ft, the second highest motorable pass in the world, which is 5362 meters. In this high there is growing nothing anymore, no trees, no plants, no grass..... So the sourrounding look some kind of surealistic to me.... a lot of stones and rocks and of course snow.... We all felt sooooo sick, especially at Taglamgla Pass, because of the high elevation. Our hearts beated like crazy and you breathed very fast..... Although the landscape again was so beautiful, we didn't want to crawl out the car to take some pictures.... We just wanted to go down as fast as possible again and we were so happy as we arrived in Leh..... pfew....
Mosuha Posted Jun 16, 2008, 11:53 am	Yesterday we were really lazy, We haven't done anything but lying in bed, reading a little bit and eating some soup.... We were just so exhausted from the journey and our bodies were stressed out by the high altitudes we passed, that we decided NOT to go to the world's highest motorable road, which lies in an elevation of 5700 meters near by Leh..... That would have been just to much for us, I guess.... And today we took a little walk around the villiage of Leh. In the first picture you see our Hotel, "The grand Dragon". In the second it is a little mosque and in the backround at the hill you see the Leh Palace, that was built in the 17th century and it is sometimes called "the mini Potala", for the palace in Tibet that it resembles. Leh itself nestles in a side valley north of the Indus river. Until 1947 it had close trading realtions with Central Asia and yak trains would set off over Karakoram La to Yarkand and Kashgar. Today Leh has massive millitary presence and is a reminder of India's sensitive borders with Pakistan and China, because it is in the state of Kashmire. The old town, at the base of Namgyal Hill, is a labytinth of alleyways and houses stacked with dry wood and dung, collected to use as fuel to withstand the long winter months. In fact, the tourist saison just lasts 3 month a year, from June to August, because it is just too cold in the other months and many roads are closed then.
Mosuha Posted Jun 16, 2008, 1:42 pm	The last day of our vacations in the north of india passed by today....... And it stood completly under the sign of Buddha! We visited several gompas, monastarys, temples and stupas, as like the Klu-kkhyil Gompa ("klu-kkhyil" means "water spirits")in Likir, which was founded in the 11th century and was the first in Ladakh known to have been built by Tibetan monks. Unusual for Ladakhi gompas, is the external 25m- high Maitreya statue, that dominates its setting. This trip was very interessting, we saw a lot of the old tibetan culture... and we learnt about praying wheels and this prayer flags, you saw a lot in my pictures before. On these colorfull flags there are prayers written and the colors symbolizes the elements. The wind shall carry the prayers around the world, that's why you often find these flags in high elevations, like the gompas and monastarys. We had some very nice views about the valleys of the Ladakh area and the Indus River. It was a loooong day, but we didn't want to miss the first game of Germany in the European Football Championship (okeeee, Uli and Mona didn't want to miss it!) so we went to bed very late.
Mosuha Posted Jul 21, 2008, 11:23 pm	Like every vacations has to end one day, carl has left india in the middle of June and hopefully will soon arrive his new destination....
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Sep 8, 2008, 5:28 am	Izzy ignored me again today to I made some calls on her phone, she wont mind one bit. gosh i wish we would do something.

magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:03 am	Today Izzy brought us home some Chili cheese hot dogs from a place called Weinershnitzle. That thing doesnt look a bit like me. Maybe its because dogs like to eat them so much! YUM!
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:21 am	Today we went to the sacramento reptile show. I saw lots of neat exotic reptiles like snakes and turtles and lizards! It was very busy, but Izzy managed to get pictures of us with a really fancy snake.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:24 am	We were bored again so When Izzy got home from work we went to my birth place, Wendy's! We finished off a frosty milk shake and fries. Yummy! This is where Izzy and I first met.

magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:29 am	So Izzy loaded us up way to early this morning to take us out to Fair Oaks, a tiny town home to more chickens them people. Its the Chicken Festival! Izzy and her friends were selling art and jewelery, but took time out to show me around. I saw chicken art, food, performances and even some real chickens! It was a loooooong day and we had alot of fun and ate lots of food.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:31 am	So Izzy took me to college! What do college students do all day? Sit and listen to old people talk. Then the listen to other old people talk. Them more talking, some eating and then she paints! Pssht, Tax dollars at work. Im kidding, she works really hard, but ignored us lot. She did show me and the other voyagers some of the halls and the science hall which is so full of old stuff It qualifies as a museum! they even have a blue whale skeleton! Look Mom, I went whale watching!

We walked for 2.5 miles untill we found the fish hatchery. The fish hatchery is where all the baby salmon in the Sacramento River are born, and today is there famouse Salmon festival! We got to tour the hatchery and learn about salmon, I even got to feed some baby salmon! Steelheads! Then Izzy bought us dinner- salmon? Yes, salmon to support the salmon! Kinda weird! The mama salmon havnt started coming to the hatchery yet, they will come in november, but I got to see lots of baby's and a giant model of salmon eggs as the baby's devolope! Look out! Im being eatin by a giant salmon head! Wait, its just a model. They are kinda ugly fish though....
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 5:45 am	This weekend Izzy has taken myself and another voyager to a little town called Red Bluff for a Pygmy goat show! Izzy breeds and shows these cute little guys and I watched her! She didnt win to much, but there were lots of cute goats and we got to sleep in a tent in an empty barn.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 6:02 am	Happy Halloween all! I got to show some of the visiting voyagers Halloween at Izzy's house. We had candy with some nice scarecrows today who shared some wonderfull chocolate treats with us. After we explored Izzy's now creepy looking house there with monsters and graves and pumpkins everywhere! We came across some My Little Ponies who werent to scary at all. They asked us to dance with them at their halloween party, but we had no costumes. Lucky they had costumes for us! Oh, all they have are princess costumes? Fun is fun! We all dressed up like princesses and had a great time. I wore a crown and tutu. We had so much fun.
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Nov 17, 2008, 6:10 am	Izzy's sick today, but that didn't stop us from having a good time! We met up with her friend and went to run some errands, then they took us to the park! Izzy's friend Pollunga brought a frisby and taught us how to play. We threw it betwen ourselves, and i even  got squished once!  The sky was so clear and it was nice and warm, 75f (23.8c for my mommy's!) Great weather for fall! Can you see me on the mountain of Towels? Find the Carl!
magickzzl guardianicewolf@hotmail.com Posted Jan 3, 2009, 9:23 pm	Today I packed up for a thanksgiving adventure! We headed out to the bay area to see Izzy's family and have some fun. Our first stop before hitting the family was the Carquinez Bridge. Its a neat bridge Izzy's grandfather helped to build. From here the straits run into the San Fransisco bay.
