Joop's Dog Log - Thursday May 20

Taking you back to old Deventer today. It`s the city my human was born and raised in.
His brother and my grandhuman still live there.
When my human was 17 he left Deventer to live in California for a year, as an exchange student.
After that he lived in Utrecht, The Hague, Groningen, West Virginia, Alaska,
but never again in Deventer.
We live in Paterswolde now, but Deventer still is his true home town.
I could feel it when we walked around in the old city.
Saw his old school. His old café. Full of memories.
I wonder if all humans have such a place, where they feel all sentimental?

In Germany Father`s Day and Himmelfahrt are on the same day. :) Hardy & K-pack -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- smiling_da_vinci @ 2004-05-20 03:01 said: I think they do Joop. Enjoy your day. And give your human a paw from me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.fotolog.net/maureendulong/ @ 2004-05-20 03:32 said: Sorry Joop, was nog op een andere site ingelogd. Ja Indy van de Hooiweg oftwel Tennishal de Marsch, mijn tweede huis. poot van Indy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- foxicat @ 2004-05-20 03:35 said: Yeah, I think we do. I lived in several places growing up as my Dad was in the Air Force, but take me back to the Panhandle of Texas and it just feels "right." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tomswift46 @ 2004-05-20 05:59 said: I do. I use photoblog for the autobiographical synthesis journey and fotolog for today`s treat. Joop you are amazing but my dog Melys doesn`t really like other dogs because Melys thinks she`s a cat/human... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mr_walker @ 2004-05-20 06:43 said: y`know, chinatown`s doing it to me every day i catch the bus through it, on the way to my new patch. inevitable i guess. of course, i can easily stop in on the way home, at least : ) there`s also the farm i grew up on, where my parents and brothers still live. a few spots on that still give me goose-pimples. your human`s childhood territory looks quite lovely, the kind of streets i longed for while growing up in the middle of 5000 flat, dry and dusty acres. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wynd @ 2004-05-20 07:33 said: Yes, why are things coming out of your heads in these pictures? I`m becoming concerned. -Sarah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- soundofsilence @ 2004-05-20 07:51 said: Moin Joop!Sometimes it takes humans a little longer to find out where their real home is and that must not be the place where they are born. For dogs it is much easier, they feel home where their humans are no matter which town, country or universe. Growing older means to come a little bit nearer to your genuine roots, those roots I left behind as soon as possible at the same age as your human did. My home also never was Hamburg again, but little Güster where I spent the best times of my childhood. The circle is closed, home again, but somewhere else a small dream turned out reality....humans need to be on sentimental journeys, it is good for their mental life.So lend him your caring paw and learn of the past. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- schulze @ 2004-05-20 09:56 said: Hi Joop, both of my humans were also exchange students, in Virginia and in Ohio (AFS). It is always good to have your memories filled with memories!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maller @ 2004-05-20 10:36 said: q massa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- honeycut @ 2004-05-20 11:00 said: hello Joop! I like your stories! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dullemen @ 2004-05-20 16:18 said: Hoi Joop. Ja ik weet het ik ben laat,maar vergeten doe ik je niet hoor. Wat sta je daar in een lief straatje met achter je een mooie waterpomp. Je staat te kijken of je wil blaffen van waar moet ik nu heen welke kant op. Nou ik zie het morgen wel welke weg je bent gegaan. Dag JOOP ik ga naar bed en jij ook welterusten. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ennisr @ 2004-05-21 00:06 said: Joop, I think all humans have a place in their hearts which they call home, even if it exists only in memories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mr_walker @ 2004-05-21 23:32 said: i was meditating a little on the sense of "place" and i thought of another, one of the strongest for me - the art school where i studied photography. more good memories than the twenty-four years leading up to it, almost. every time i wander back it feels like *home straight away, despite the change of students - the teachers and security guards still greet me, the cracks in the pavement still try to trip me up, and i`m always assured of a cup of tea with the technicians : ) (not to mention the great library where i cut my internet teeth ...) (and yes, the school needs security guards - whether to keep trouble in or out i cannot say for sure ; ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maximillion @ 2004-05-22 00:52 said: Funny thing, that sense of place mr. walker was talking about. Thomas Wolfe (almost a dog name) says you can`t go home again. Silly humans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRA @ 2004-05-23 13:52 said: brasil_pr_curitiba --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, Joop, this human is also very sentimental about his beloved Westland.
