We are all excited as we roll up to the Canadian border and receive a huge welcome from a Canadian customs officer and suddenly there, off in the distance, almost a mireage, we see it.

What could be more Canadian then Tim Hortons! We truly are Home! We carried on to London, Ontario and Flying J where we crashed for the night. We are now about 3 hours from home.

I gotta tell you that I couldn’t have completed this long drive without the help of Buster. Bumping across the highways of  Texas and Oklahoma there were some great opportunities for him to practise his driving skills. He still has a bit of a problem with the fuel and the brake pedals but we’re working on that.

The only thing Buster likes to do better than driving is to mark his territory and he’s done a lot of that over the past 5 months. He has left his mark in 4 Canadian provinces, at least 15 American and a half dozen Mexican states. He has spattered his yellow gold over more than 9,000 miles and remarkably, he is not a bit dehydrated. Now I understand why he thinks he is a Superdog.

He, like the rest of us are resting up to do it again in another 7 months. In the interim we will enjoy our family and friends and believe it or not, I am really looking forward to getting back to work for the season.

Stick around, there’s lots of stories left in this old keyboard.
