Day 10 – Tuscany
08 June, 2026 Buongiorno readers, After yesterday’s outrageous early start by the hoomans, I decided I needed to regain control of the household schedule. So at precisely 6am, I launched Operation Wake-Up Call and delivered Mum a large slobbery lick directly to the face. You’re welcome. About twenty minutes later the alarm went off anyway,…

Day 9 – Tuscany
07 June, 2026 Buongiorno readers, This morning something deeply concerning happened. The hoomans woke up BEFORE ME. I know. I was just as shocked as you are. Usually I’m the one launching surprise face-lick attacks at sunrise, but today they were already showered, dressed and bustling about before I’d even properly opened my eyes. Frankly,…

Day 8 – Tuscany
06 June, 2026 Buongiorno readers, Last night we all slept like absolute royalty at Villa Humbourg. No noisy corridors. No boats. No angry cats. No thunder storms. Just peaceful countryside and approximately fourteen thousand sofas. Pure bliss. I woke shortly after 6am feeling refreshed and ready for adventure, so naturally I climbed all over Dad…

Day 7 -Lake Como to Tuscany
05 June, 2026 Buongiorno readers, Before we begin today’s adventures, I need to address last night’s *drama*. We stayed at a B&B where the lady owner, Mamma Anita, scolded Dad the second we arrived because apparently he “hadn’t told her” I was coming. Excuse me?! Dad *had* told her. He even paid my very reasonable…

Day 6 – Oberstdorf → Liechtenstein → Lake Como
04 June, 2026 This morning the hoomans woke ridiculously early and immediately started packing up the apartment. Naturally, panic set in. What if they forgot me?! I know technically this is *my* holiday, but you simply cannot trust hoomans unsupervised around departure day chaos. So I took matters into my own paws. ## Anti-Abandonment Operations…

Day 5 – Oberstdorf
03 June, 2026 This morning I was absolutely exhausted. All that mountain adventuring yesterday had finally caught up with me. I reluctantly dragged Dad out for my morning constitutionals, then marched straight back to the apartment, curled myself into the perfect sofa ball, and prepared for a full day of uninterrupted snoozing. Unfortunately, the hoomans…

Day 4 – Oberstdorf
02 June, 2026 Last night I was on my absolute *best* behaviour. I slept right through the night on the sofa. Well… obviously. When you finally find a proper sofa on holiday, you must maximise every second of sofa time because you never know when the hoomans will cruelly take it away again. I considered…

Day 3 – Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Oberstdorf
01 June, 2026 So… I’ll be honest with you readers, I did *not* perform my finest night shift last night. I barked once at a suspicious noise, Dad immediately shouted, “Humphrey, enough!” then slammed the window shut. After that the room got far too warm, my eyelids became heavy, and before I knew it… morning…

Day 2 – Rotterdam to Rothenburg ob der Tauber
31st May, 2026 — Guten tag readers! — Last night I performed what may have been my finest security shift to date. Honestly, the hoomans are incredibly lucky to have me. I gruffed suspiciously at noises until 11:30pm, successfully thwarted intruders at 2:30am and again at 4:30am, then finally woke Mum properly at 6:30am with…
