For the love of animals


For the love of animals 


Not everyone can relate. 

We live in 280 sf and chose to share our tiny space not with one, nor two or even three pets. 

NO, we are literally maxed out travelling with 

F I V E.

Alright I should adjust my choice of words at this point. 
Joe, being the level-headed, make-sense-at-all-times..-logical-thinker kind of guy would have chosen a different scenario, 
if it wasn't for his very spontaneous-go-with-your-first-instinct kind of wife. 
But as a loving husband he has adapted and learned that some things, especially animals, are a losing battle to start. Animals are gonna win. Sorry JoJo. 
I love you!

So back to the zoo. We have altered our daily activities around these critters. 

Milo, who just celebrated his 17th birthday. As an older gentleman, he wears diapers. Diapers need changing, every few hours, or else!

Kitty and bird are easier to work around.  


But living with said puppies means you gotta brace yourself every day for trouble and then the sudden combustion of energy!
Watch out.

These energy balls bring us joy, too! 
I get woken up by the puppies around 6 AM, them acting as if I am the most exciting person they've seen.
 It warms my heart.
 I feel their love. What's there not to love back.

Peru 2024

                                                                   P  E  R  U I've always been intrigued by this world and its cultures. There's so much to know and discover! Our latest random vacation destination pick took us to South America.  Our first time. The weeks and then finally days leading up to setting foot on Peruvian soil were filled with excitement of the newest Unknown to reveal itself. We landed in Lima late on a warm February night. The air feels familiar with its noticeable comfortable humidity.  After receiving our luggage we opted for a taxi to get us to our hotel 40 minutes away in the popular neighborhood called Miraflores in the heart of Lima. Traffic and how people drive is always a dead giveaway that makes you realize you're in a foreign country. Peruvian drivers seem to communicate by honking. Lets just say, they have a lot to say! Lanes get created randomly when desired and there is NO such thing as a safe dist

Life on the road is different

A lot of things are going thru my mind tonight. Most of the time we stay at camp grounds or State parks. Tonight we happen to be en 'route to our next destination and are staying the night at a halfway point.  I am sitting here in a Walmart parking lot  looking out my livingroom window, not far from Lake Tahoe in Nevada on this beautiful sunny September afternoon.  I am reflecting back on the last 8 weeks of my new gypsy life. The life that my husband and I chose very willingly. Is it what I thought it would be? Is it what I was hoping it would be? It's what you make of it. I am a firm believer that we are not the victim of our circumstances. We make choices and if we don't like them, then we need to adjust them. A close and caring friend of the family wrote us this beautiful letter not too long ago, and how true it is! "Dear Ulrike and Joe, You are now seeing Phase One of your new life more clearly. It's the Discovery Phase wherein you begi

Back to real life

               C HA N G E  Well good day, fellow humans. The day we have been anxiously working towards has come and gone already.  On December 14th 2021 we officially became apartment inhabitants. The time we've spent being vagabonds was a learning process. Challenging, rewarding and an experience we will always treasure.   But our hearts weren't in it anymore and we were so ready to become permanent residents of Saint Petersburg, Florida.   And with many things in life if things are too easy how would you appreciate the end result? Right? Finding a place to live with 4 pets was quite an uphill battle. There are size restrictions, breed restrictions, quantity restrictions. There are pet deposits, pet rent. You name it, they are tagged on.  But after endless phone calls, text messages, clicks on various websites and making Google my number ONE "go to" every day, we finally found THE place! In the middle of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Saint Petersburg! Our back
